Receiving with the goyemor and Mrs. Hyndman were Mrs. Keith Rand. president, Federated W o m e n ’ s Institutes of Ca- uada and Mrs. Lloyd Wilkie, Al- berton, President of the Prince Edward Island Women’s lusti- tutes. .

OFFER INADEQUATE

This tactor Mr. Cullen stated later would prevent the majority of the present surplus, estimated at somewhere between 300 and 700 cars, from grading Canada No. 1, the sole classification to which the Ottawa government’s otter now applies. ,

“llf something concrete had been .done at the timethe first application for support was made, it would have had the effect of" strengthening the market at that time,” \he said. .

The min-stew em- phasized that many growers found themselves still with large stocks of marketable potatoes still on hand. In most cases this condition could not be blamed on the individuals desire to . hold tor a higher price, he said, but was largely due to the growers inability to reach shipping points at the time of the best prices.

Another factor contributing to the present unusual surplus was the “tremendous crop” produced on the Island last season. Many people estimate la 5 t year’s potato yield to have been up to 40 bushels per acre higher than in previous dormal years, Mr. Cullen noted.-

MR. HARKNESS’ STATEMENT

Mr. Harkness maintained that the govermnent’s offer of 45 cents per 75 pounds for Island potatoes used in a feed diversion program still stood. This assis- tance he maintained was in line with the starch assistance pro- gram in effect in the Province of New Brunswick,

He said assistance was of- fered at the conclusion of a two day conference with Island re- presentatives which. ended July 4.

In a more detailed explanation released several days later by Hon. Mr. Cullen, one of the de- legates attending this last meet- ing, it was pointed out that this offer was limited to potatoes grading Canada No. 1, would not come into effect until July, and was limited to $105,000, the equivalent of approximately 338 carioads.
