Deputy Minin- ter of Agriculture, returned from a number of conferences held at Ottawa, on Friday night. Vii-file absent he took part in a statistical conference which occupied three day's and which he termed as be- ing most valuable and enlighten- ing. The great importance 01f sc- curatie statistical data was the main theme of this conference. and the desirability of full co-opera- tion on the part of the Provinces was emphasized. As n result of this conference new techniques will, in all probability, be develop- ed, in the accumulation of en:- cin-ate agricultural data. The main and most important conference held was that of the annual Dominion-Provincial Agri- cutural Conference, which also occupied three Alli days. Top ranking officials, headed by Min- istcr-s of Agriculture from every Province and the Dominion were in attendance. In addition repre- sentatives ftrmn the United States. Great Britain, ‘the Netherlands, and Belglinn. were present. Stat- istical reports covering various Phasefi GIT production were sub- mitted by the various officers. Those reports, Mr. Shaw states, were l model in the way of pre- senting Information. UK. Market Restrictions The conference was opened by the Rt. Hon. James G. Gardiner. Federal Minister of Agriculture, who immediately drew attention to the possible restrictions fri cori- tracts with Great Britain. Sub- sequent discussions lunged found the difficulties which cancella- tion or diminution of contracts would bring about for the Can- adian farm producer. "It can be frankly stated." Mr. Shaw said, "that the outlook was gloomy." Various suggestions for surpvport were presented. Dr. H. H. Hon- nam. of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, stated that Cann- dian fanmem face a worse market outlook at this time than do the farmers of any agricultural coun- try. He asked for price support for egizs and suggested support on bacon ruriccs if adccitiate contracts Mr. Shaw Reports On a Ottawa Farm Conference _. salmon, and applu. whip In ooh-’ tract for cheese has not yet been consiunnted, although Iufificienu dollars have been set aside by tha United Kingdom for this purpcs if a price can be agreed upon. i: meeting la hnimediately In pros< Pact to Wonk out price levels. -_ Bernadine ecu. no eggs will liq , bought from Canada this year, —’_ Price Support Needed 1n view at an inc-used poultry) Dwulation in Canada and hlgheu production the problem olf mnrkeh "18 PWW’!
