tFARM N-ET

tcontiinued irom page ll Agriculture. the country's chief group, called for more federal-provincial co - operation in legislation than now exists.

The National Farmers Union. representing growers in est and Ontario. unged na- tionalization of the CPR. plus acceptance of the Canada Pen- sion Plan. a national lpedical care program and a way to aid ‘the farm industry whose prod- uct prices remain stable while costs rise.

Roy Atkinson, Saskatchewan Farm Union head. said national production targets should be worked out and certain amounts assrgncd to developing needy nations. Agriculture Minister I. C. Nollett of Saskatchewan said nature was good to his province this year with reco wheat yields. But farming wasn't out of the woods yet by is long shot. MANPOWER DWINDLING

Farm manpower was still dwindling and boom-and-bust cycles still plagued livestock prices. Price stability was still a prime need as it was when he had attended his first fed- eal; - provincial conference in 1 .

The White Paper forecast heavier cattle and pu market- ings in 1904 and weaken prices but total income should be higher. it said.

Butter production about 350.000.M0 pounds and should decline to 340.000.000 unds next year—-just about the consumption level and cod- ing buildup of the 000. pound surplus.

Egg and poultry output should slscken early in 1964 with higher prices.
