In the first nine months, output from Canadian wells rose to 20,296,000 barrels, a near 25-percent increase over the 15,700,- 000 barrels in the same period a year ago. WHEAT TROUBLES In at least these two phases of the Canadian economy, prosperity In . 1951 appeared far more assured than that in wheat, Adding to Canada's wheat troubles was a shortage In box cars and a sharp drop In total move ments to east coast ports .In the Ian months. Freighters which had been channeled from the United Kingdom and other overseas points to Halifax and Saint John, N.B., to pick up Canadian wheat had to be diverted to American ports because of the lack of Canadian supplies. That meant that Britain, Canada's biggest wheat customer, was buying 1 wheat from the United States at a time when she might have1 purchased from Canada. Britain had promised to buy between 110,000,000 and 120,000,-000 bushels from Canada in the 1950-51 crop year. She could not buy It, however, If the wheat was not there ready to move. Of the total 578,000,000 bushels, including. carry-over, available In Canada as the new crop year began Aug. 1, probably no mora than about 265,000,000 bushels would be millable grades, adequate for grinding into flour and production of bread. Of that amount, Canada need ed about 45,000,000 bushels of millable wheat for her own use and another 45,000,000 to carryover until wheat' from the 1951 crop Is harvested next September. All in all, that would leave Canada with about 175,000,000 bushels to meet a 219,000,000- bushel I.W.A. quota. The lower-quality wheat would be sold as feed. Income from j VaJlCe'S HOIDC Arf$ 1 P . !

However, one thing the farmer was certain of he had an initial price of $1.40 per bu- shel for No. 1 Northern, basis delivery at wheat board elevators. . He also had a promise that the board would make a final payment under the five-year pool which ended July 31. That payment may go a long way In helping the western farmer over the rough edges in the 1950-51 crop year. - ; ' POTATO PROBLEMS Other aspects of the Canadian farm economy were more buoyant with one exception, potatoes. With the United States market for Canadian potatoes cut by the reduction in U.S. prices, Maritime growers appealed to the federal government for price support. The government's $200,-000.000 agricultural price support program, made permanent by parliament, in 1950, was 'extended to butter, eggs, cheese, bacon; why could it not be extended to potatoes? Agriculture Minister Gardiner, at the ninth annual federal-pro-vincla' agricultural conference lh December, told delegates the government was prepared to consider price support for potatoes, if the growers could get the'r "hquse in order" and Ret a welt organized group to represent them. It appeared that finally some kind of federal grant would be made to the potato Industry, at the end of the selling year next spring, if the growers showed that the price they received for their product was below cost of Droduction. ro gl A A A i a A , S: A !
