ward for many weeks to follow when june 15 arrived and the duty of 37 cents became effec tive on new potatoes further carloads continued to arrive normally early ontario growers begin harvest and market opera tions the last part of june this rough and scabby potato acreage in ontario has dropped to 53g30 this year com pared to 55150 last year and 171000 in 1931 indicating that with more than doubled popula tion ontarians are eating one- third less mr goodin said small grower vanishing i like the onetime farm flock of poultry the small acreage potato grower is fast disappear ing and giving way to the large scale operator with more ma chinery he said many farmers now buy their potatoes in plas tic bags in the chain stores ontario growers are being squeezed by american growers who can still make money even though the tariff is increased and by maritime growers who have received increased freight subsidy from the government industrialization has resulted in high labor costs for
