t the directors meeting held the Federation last Friday, a special committee was named to ith the Minister of Agri- W. R. Shaw, to discuss the price problems that the egg business is running into. This

committee headed by Federation president, Ken MacLean, met the

_ Man., and pianist is Const. Den- The others, left to right, front sow: &. Sgt. Herb Bilackman,

Minister of Agriculture on Mon- day afternoon and recommended for consideration the following: (a) the provision of suitable storage for holding shell eggs for five or six months. (b) the provision of oiling

equipment. .

(c) the provision of breaking equipment.

Fear was expressed that weak as the market is at the moment that egg prices may go even low- er and actually difficulty may de- velop in moving them. It was felt by the committee that suitable storage could help to ease the situation and that if breaking equipment were available that Is- land eggs might be moved in this form.

At the moment it looks as ¥f egg producers are in for some rough weather during the next few months, however, by Aug- ust or September things may start to look better. The Federation feels that the three suggestions outlined could help to cushion what otherwise might be a dis- astrous situation.

NEW ECONOMIST

Since death of E. C. Hope almost two years ago the Fed- eration of Agriculture has not had an official economist. The secretary, Mr. David Kirk has been pinch-hitting very capably in this capacity.

Now the position has been fill-

by the appointment of Dr. W. who has had wide ex-

ture'and with the Canadian Em- bassy at Washington. Ail this experience points to the le‘tera- tion having obtained the serv:ces ofa hi rated and widely ex- perienced official in ‘the person of Dr.» Hopper.

CRYSTAL BALL—1960

In its most recent issue the Financial Post carries the obser- vations of a great many promin- ent Canadians of the propsects for 1960. Included are those of Dr. H. H. Hannam, C.F.A. Pre- sident. We take the liberty of re. producing them believing the com- ments to be of general interest.

“From all appearances Can- adian farmers can expect to re- ceive a cash income from the sale of their farm products that will be about equal to, or slightly lower than the 1959 returns. When we consider that the costs of goods and services required by farmers tose by about 3 per- cent in 1959, and there will likely be a similar increase in 1960, this would certainly indicate that farmers generally face a drop in their net returns in the com- ing year.

The domestic market for farm products continues to be _ the dominant one for such commodi- ties as poultry and dairy products, hogs and beef, although it is ex- pected that exports will increase slightly in some of these cate-

gories. One of the reasons fer these

FORUM ACTIVITY

Last Monday evening Farm Forum demonstrated that it is a lively and going concern. The ac- casion was the rally staged at Vernon River;when the Summer- ville and Alberry Plains Farm Forums played the part of hosts to forum members and others from a wide area. After listen-

Finally Solved

WINNIPEG (CP) — Mr. and Mrs. George Thompson, who have been receiving a Christ- mas card from “Olive and Henry" for each of the last 20 years, Wednesday found out the identity of Olive and Henry.

They never knew before, but after the 20th card arrived Mr. Thompson tried to solve mystery by telling the st to a radio station and a -

per. .

They learned as a result the publicity that the cards came from Olive and Henry Philpott, who thought the greet- ings had been going to a boy- hood friend of Mr. Philpott's.

He also was named George Thompson, and lived on the same street as the family that received the cards.

After Mrs. Thompson learned the identity of the senders, she also discovered that both George Thompsons had at one time worked for the same stor- age company and later for the same aircraft company.

Mrs. Philpott said she and her husband would keep send-
