Potato Floor Continued From Page i ___._.____ . ___, o request be made to the Agricul- inral Support. Board to set up a floor price on potatoes ivhich ivili ensure to the grower the ccst of production of the present year's crop, together with a fair and reasonable profit oll investment and labor involved. Other speakers at ihe meeting included Messrs. A. MulllgaruKin- kora; S. G. Peppin. chief potato inspector. charlcticioun: J. H. Myers. Hampton‘, J. T. Inman, Bedeque; J. Lester Douglas. M.P..; J. B.

Mr. Bouiier. called upon. said the matter of sendinil u ticlczni- ion to Ottawa had been suc- gesied at short notice bv the New Brunswick Minister of Agriculture. and icfi little time for considor- ation of all i-he possibilities in. volved in a floor price. He was not prepared to say whether or not it was in the interests of the potato industry of the Island l0 have a floor price. "I know that the general opinion of the grower 'ls that we should have a floor." he said. "but to what extent will that protect you? It will depend entirely on the value per bushel Stanley Willis, Cornwall. $15 00 they may set the floor at. I have not l-lie slightest idea what ‘they have in mind. I do not think any delegation we send should suggest a specific price. because it would be difficult to agree 0s to the amount. "I am simply opening llD this discussion," Mr. Boulter explained. ‘Whoever undertakes to represent the Province must. be backed by the opinion of the growers. From any contact I have had on these various boards. they will try ti» make the floor verv much below the coat of production. Will that be of any particular valus to'yoii? Is there a possibility that it might be an injury? Suppose they they out it at f0 or 50 cents and this becomes public knowledge. and we undertake to sell eel-fined seed or seed of a higher grade. what will the buyers have in their minds’? How much do you think you could get for your seed gbovo your table stock? l hone that no such low price will be offered. We do not know what the established price for this full on potatoes may be. but we feel potty wall satisfied that there will be a fail-iv good demand.

C. J. STEWART Clerk of the Executive Council. i {will continue at this level." ‘; ls Optimiaflo Mr. Bouiter recalled that lust year there were requests for a floor price on potatoes "and inside of o. month we were in the black market. Can such a thing happen this year? I do not think so, but I think that something may hap- pen that, will increase the price. “Yesterday 154 cara were o the tracks in Montreal, What couPd we have hut a collapse in price? But this is not the time when we ship our potatoes, and I do not think we should attempt at this time to place them on the market in any such manner as has been done in New Brunswick. ‘There is no question but that with transportation as ‘is, a great many will suffer because they have not proper storage for thclr potatoes. It l! not possible to handle them in sufficient volume. But I feel satisfied from the re- ports we have received that Can Add does not have enough potatoes to take care of her own require- ments. If that l-s the opinion of those at Ottawa I question whether they would consider establishing a. floor price. There may be some alternative that would be better than a floor, that would take care of the industry better, ‘Phat is a matter for this meeting to decide. I want to get the idea out of your minds that the establishment of a floor price would be the end of Your trouble. It might be only the beginning." "We are handicapped by trans- monopolizing the potato business. A floor effective in May, however, would be more or less of u. check- rein. "If the floor was on right now I feel that it would be very detrimental to the sale of seed." The Chairman: “Why would you set the date at the 1st of May?’ Mr. Clarke: “If the floor was put on now everybody would want to sell their potatoes now, rather than have them depreciate and shrink. and there would be such n glut that the transportation companies could not handle them." Mr. Clarke suggested that in- ctend of a floor on table stock. the delegation should ask for a subsidy or subvention on acreage of seed potatoes grown in the Maritlmes. However. if it l5 de- cided to ask for a floor. hc was very much in favor of it becoming effective May 1 rather than noyv.
