Island transportation backs during winter months were stressed bv Mr. Ramsay, who said the real solution would be

tunnel connection with the nminlarrd. He cited losses in- curred by Island potato stripper-s through failure to ship the tub- ers on time.

Mr. J. J’. Trainer. Bedford, P.E.I.. supported Mr. Ramsay's plea for a floor price on potatoes, and reviewed efforts of the local Fed- eration to obtain this objective in co-operation with other prov-

inc-cs. At present there are some Federal experts investigating the potato price situation in this

Province. 'I‘.he difficulty is that many farmers do not keep accur- ate cost figures. He concurred in the argument that with floor nrlces it will be necessary to have control over production. In- riimrtilins this year are for sun- plus potato crops in all sections and he urged that tit Federation no on rum-d for potato floor Drices.

Mr. R. C. Broyvn, Manitoba, United Grain Growers of West- ern Canudn. said we must look beyond the shores of Canada and recognize that farm prices de- pend on world economy. The great need is that all the world be supplied with adequate food and clothing. Canadian farmers nzctsit think in terms of interna- tional organization.

Cheese Prices

The following brief from the cheele producers we: submitted b! Mr, WR. Shaw, lecretnry o! the P Ill. I. Federation of Alrlculture

Agricul- ture:

"During the seasons of 1943 and

tin-aw- 1944 the cheese producers of this

province received an average of $2.13 cwt, for milk including all subsidies. In 1M5 they received an average, including all subsidies, of $1.91 cwt, The reduction was due tp the fact that n two cent per lb, mark-up to wholesalers in lieu of the Dominion subsidy was not allowed in 1945 as it was in 1943 and 1944. No price changes were made for 1946 except an ai- lowance of 1-16th cent lb. was made for coloring used in cheese, plus l0 cents cwt. additional suh- shiy on milk. It was foreseen by the managers of the factories when the season opened last BPrins. that if the cheese was acid at the wholesale price the nrice of milk would be as low, if not lower. in 1946 than it was in 1945. This. notwithstiandknr-t M increas- cd milk subsidy of 10c awi. a greatly reduced volume of milk this year means a higher percent- nko of overhead. Cheese boxes are higher due to the withdrawal of the government subsidy, fuel and handling costs are also somewhat higher, -

“Patrons were not satisfied with returns for 1045 and with a higher ceiling allowed for butterfat sup- plied to the creameries and the prospect of no better returns for cheese. were indifferent about supplying milk to the cheese fac- tories. However, in the hope of receiving higher returns from re- tail outlets the great majority of patrons remained loyal to their local cheese factory. Realizing that the existence of cheese fac- tories was at stake an effort was made to sell cheese through retail channels that allowed a 2 1-2c lb. markup which would mean about 23c cwt. extro, for milk. A large percentage of our make u to the mi-ddie of August was sol in this way.

‘This practice, apparently, did not meet with the approval of some interested parties, and to

Asked if there would be a fer-

tilizer shortage, Mr. McIntyre said the required 51.111919 h“ bwl promised, I-Ie was in hopes that

this assurance would be realized so far as the Maritimes are con- corned.

J. J. Trainor: "I wonder if it might not. be a blessing in dis- guise if we were short of fertil- izer."
