Ii-Lannam in bk presidential address at oalsnry analyzed comm- : l(illS in agriculture and stated the. policy of the Federation on certain national problems.

Mr. l-lannam felt that the outlook for Canadian agriculture is much brighter than a year see. Alt-housh potatp growers, apple growers. and farmers with frosted grain in tile west were working -under some dif- ficulties yet the general picture was held to be good. The uncertain outlook for butter . was a worry. aggravated by the lil- road of vegetabltf cil substitutes and increased costs of production. l'he development crf producer con- trolled marketing was pointed out .- ha a necessary develop t in G001- pettrlg on an even footing, with powerful private companies. The speaker looked forward to the future in seeing organized pro- ducers in Canada negotiate export sales and sales agreement. It was mentioned that Danish farmers had negotiated their own bacon con- tract with the United Kingdom. World Crllla In discussing the world crisis Mr. Hunmam stated that democracies. must be prepared to meet the chal- lenge of hunger. want. misery -and exploitation on which Communis- iic ideas feed and grow. The prop- or distribution of surplus farm products was a practical method. Itching Scalp - .

Agriculture Short Courses we can the attention of fern"-'1'! to . courre in agriculture offered by the Vocational School and start.- ing on February isth. The first week will deal with Livestock First Aid and those who avail themselves of the opportunity will get valuable information on the diagnosis and proper action to take in dealing with the numerous ailments affecting farm livestock. ' Following the first week the o0u'l'sC will deal largely with farm mech- anics. a certain amount of time being devoted to general form practice. This course offers an op- portunity that all who posslbly C5" should avail themselves of. Potato Situation During the past month there has been a steady and heavy movernellt of potatces out of the province and in many instances at prices better than the minimum levels set by the Potato Board. Some Kl'0Wr es seem to have gained the im.- pression that the Board lowered the price on all potatoes. This is definitely not so. Seba-80 seed. and Sebago seed only. was lowered from .1i5c to soc per bushel: all other seed and table stock remained at the original levels set by the Board. Directors' Meeting The provincial Board of Director.- are meeting Friday afternoon to take action on recommendations made at the annual meetings and to discuss Federation policies for the coming year. Committees will be appointed to deal with livestock. potato. and veterinary problems one matter requiring Careful Si-lld.l' will be the development of a quota system of marketing potatoes. One-of the first essentials for success of any marketing Scmme '5 a realization by the growers of what sharing the market means and the necessary discipline that goes with .It is hoped and expected that the coming year will see the solution of development of increased interest in livestock production and the growing of increased quantities of grass. hay, and grain. Butter n duction At the present time the province is pr d '.g barely enough butter to supply its own needs and It is ible that butter could be .airly scarce for a period this spring. Price levels have not been suffic- iently high to make the production of butter as attractive from a fin- ancial standpoint as beef. bacon. eggs. etc. Pulpwnod Much activity in the cutting of pulpwood is apparent and while this possibly presents an 09!l0Fl-llll- lty to the farmer to increase his income at the present time. it would be unfortunate if rroml-Elna stands of timber are out without provision being made for future income fmm the woodlot through proper selec- ticn of trees to harvest. . some variation in prices appar- ently exist. 014.00 per cord on the car seem: to be general with as high as 014.50 being paid in some cases. Dairy Cold Storage For years past the dairy industry of the province has been handi- capped by a lack of adequate llally cold storage facilities. The construc- tion int summer by the Provincial Government of a dairy wing '0 its existing cold storage affords an op- portunity for the butter and cheese factories to exercise a greater mea- sure of control over the marketing of their products. ” It is important. however. that the factories decide what use is I0 be made of the storage and -what responsibility they are prepared to assume in-making supplies avail- able for storage.

Large members of dairy cattle and young animals are still going to market. Farmers are advised not to deplete their herds below normal good farm practise re- quiremenis. EGGS Egg prices are a bit unsteady with quotations moving up and down and gradually seeking lower levels. Possible surplus on deal- crs' floors. Station operators are quoting producers for ungraded eggs, de- livered: Grade AL 30c; AM 34c; AP 29c. Grade B N; C 19. Dealers are quoting station op- craiors for the graded pack: AL 41c; AM 30c; AP 34c; B 34c: C 24c. Wholesalers are quoting retail- ers::a7AL 43c; AM -ilc: AP 36c; B 36c; c. Eggs retailing to consumers in cartons AL 50-5c; I few as high as 59c:. AP 43c; Grade B. loose. 43-7: C 35c. . Prices in some sections are be- low the quotations provided. "We have one case in December." states the report. "where Grade AL eggs in bulk brought 35c to the produc- el-, while the market quotation here was 45c: and AM sac against our quotation of file. In another case the quotations were substant- lally below this while in still oth- er cases in the two top grads there was 3c of I difference." Producers not getting enough for their eggs are advised to tlke the matter up with their grading gtg. tion operator. "We also found that on January 4th consum a were paying as high as We for Grade A Large eggs when Grading Station quotations in some cases were 85c. In still another case the consumer price waa.0.5c while the producer was recetvlng 38c." "There 508111! to be in gomg cases at least entirely too high a spread between the consumer and producer prices.

When the Grading Station passes these eggs on to the wholesaler they are fully pro. ceased to ha.nd over to the retailer and 20 per dozen would seem to be A reasonable mark-up to the retailer. It is possible that this milk-up exceeds 2c under certain conditions. According to today's prices the coat of eggs packed. Grade A Large is 36c. There is creased buying for military pill-pose coupled with a strong dc-mitna for woolen clothing for civilian pur- poses indicate a strong market for some time to come. It is interesting to note that in New zealand the gross "alums to shaepmen reached such a.t.onom- ical proportions that farmer organ- izations are reporiod to have ac- cepted I piropcsal to compulaorily "freeze" one-third of the money re- ceived from the wool sales by hav- ing it paid into the growers' ac- count but not taxable as long as it was "frozen". some of the sheep- men are acid to have been willing to make proportion 5041:. Another announcement is that the New zealand government. though cp- posed to subsidies. is planning to introduce a form of subaitlization that will keep the cost of woollen goods dorm. cursor Thanks urn.

If the grade ls not right the impaction staff should be notified for I check-up. It is required that carton be stamped with the name of the packer and the grade. Watch for it. with the coat of living on the increase there should be a more careful scrutiny of all purchases made whether it is fruits, eggs, or bread, and consumers should frown on any attempt to hoist prices wheiihq it be by design. unfair advantage, or monopoly. and the latter should be definite- ly cracked on the head before ll get: under way." PULPWOOD "Never in the history of the Province alnvce the days of the pioneer has the ringing sound of the w 4 man's axe been heard more frequently in the forests of Prince Edward Island. Buyers of pulpwood are scrambling through- out the Province for their piles and crews of woodsmen are rapidly cutting down forests growths to supply the hungry maw of the pulp mills. In parts of the country piles of pulpwood are ap- pearing as if by magic and if the cutting continues as we see it in some sections the landscape of Prince Edward Island will under- go I devastating change in the near future. So also will our water levels and our farm pro- duction possibilities. "Two new Foresters have re- cently been appointed and it is to be urgently desired that land own- ers with forest growths should seek the advice of these men in promogn-g their own best inter- ests in forestry and of the Prov- ince at large. ”We understand the pulpwood is being purchased at prices rang- ing from 313.50 to better than 314.00. A really fine revenue may be secured from this product and our forests still remain intact if wise selective cutting is practised. A slaughter policy. however, can be definitely fatal. WILD FRUITS "Approximately 8100.000.00 was secured by Prince Edward Island pickers last year for blueberries and over one million pounds were harvested: ' "Cran-berry ptoductio was est- imated at almost a. quarter of a million pounds but the price was not good. The market is still in the doldmuns and we have heard reports of cranaberr-in held by some ploducera which would have io be dumped. This is an exceed- ingly unfortunate circumstance. Siorekeepers. of course, are in a position where they have bought their supplies early at certain fixed. prices and must charge a certain level which. in any event. La not hlgll-l for this delectable product. . . "I am personally of the opinion that there is a very urgent need in this Province for definite over- all Provincial organization in the form of marketing machinery to take care of our wild fruit produc- tion. This is an exceedingly im- portant production and should re- ceive attention. POTATOES "Potatoes are still moving rapid- ly to market and prices are hold- ing steady at slightly "better than last week's quotations. There is a somewhat better feeling in the Llmted States market: and dump- ing at least temporarily in Maine has been stopped. The United States Department of Agriculture requires some little time to fully assess the situation before order- lng any further Price Support. ”Ilhe movement this week has been again to the limit of cars availsible. A total of 1170 cars have left the Province since Jan- lll-l'y lst. A very heavy move- ment. The big rush is to get seed into the States before the quota fills which we estimate will be about February 15th. While the market may be a little strong- er our advice to our prociiucera is to keep material moving to mgr- "M Tiznish. O'Lea.ry. Summer- side. Bord-en Line.

DAIRYING "Ilhere has been no change in iibe price of butter on the Nova Scotia market during the put week. The wholesale price is quoted at 57c f.o.b. Halifax with local Jobbing at 01c.
