hr Terrie Examiner Published by Csusduin Newspaper Ltd is Hayfield street Barrie Ontario race sous MONDAY APRIL 1M EDITORIAL Price Support Butter Plan Presents Real Dilemma The government price support ofbut tor has been topic discussed by several organizations in simcoe County in the past few months In most cases the sup port plan failed to bring forth much favorable comment Mathis reason we believe that editor isl reference by The Quebec Chronicle is pound worth repeating ffCanadas Department of Agriculture is apparently looking with some desper ation at the mounting stocks of butter held in storage as result of the present pricesupport policy It has not yet found way out of the oleaginous mess how ever for the announcement has come that Canada will continue the support through 1900 and into Will It We can appreciate the dilemma in which the Agriculture Department finds itself although We cannot say that we agree with the methods chosen to resolve it Last year butter production totalled 324000000 pounds while consumption amounted to 304000000 pounds The surg plus brought the stocks held by govern ment to10000000 pounds and by the end or the current crop yearMay this is expected to rise to 15000000 pounds Who can say where the surplus will be at the end of the next crop you particularly as dairy interests anticipate sharp increase in total milk produce tion Declining consumption or buttersaid to be dropping at the rate of one million er monthin the light of an in creasing popalatlon seems to tell the story It is tale of opposition to the federal pricesupport plan for the pub lic is reluctant to buy the dairy product at the fixed level This is particularly true when there are other materials gen erally available which satisfy the public for most of the uses to which they apply butter The dilemma is this that the govern ment cannot put its storage stocks on the market at lower prices which would pleasethe consumers without wrecking its price support policy To maintain the policy which pleases the producers re sults in millions of pounds of butter be ing put in storage just to keep it out of circulation Howver one looks at it the horns of the dilemma are well coated with slithery substance that makes it difficult and unpleasant to face New Sudbury CNR Station banadlan National Railways will build new station atSlidbuly Junctlon closlt ing of the Borgia st station and the sale ofthe property could also mean great deal to suaburys plans for redeVelop ment of that area of the city number of years have passed since The

anxiety to railroads andllierefore one of constant and careful exam ination But we nevor heard about one on road nsospans until the other day when we read about such an occurrence in Alberta The trans part from Ontario going west with miscellan eous cargo of liquorieailicr and sportswear was destroyed with all its conienls The fire started when the rear dual wheels of the trailer became overheated The fire spread to the trailer unit and the driver sueceeded in uncoupling the tree tor from the trailer The loss was $12000 on the trailer and $80000 on the contents Infrequent though such cases may be May suggest that trucls engaged in long distance haul ing or trailer units pulled by doctor units should be as carefully checked against fiiotbox as the railways impose on box cars when botbox
