IIANRlGllT OTTAWA CP Agriculture Minister Hamilton told report ers Thursday he is confident Canadians will start buying more butter once the prices go down May His confidencenow obviously shared by the rest of the cnbis nctis behind the governments recent decision to spend $34 500000 year to continue pay ing farmers 64 cents pound for their butter while dropping the retail price by 12 cents Estimated result of this step will be retail butter prices of between on and 59 cents across Canada depending on location But there still will be sub stantlal price spread between butter and margarine now av eraging about 25 cents pound To illustrate his contention that the price cut will increase butter consumption Mr Honiii ton said 38 Edmonton chain stores which buy butter from the Northern Alberta Dairy Pool experimented last year for 25 weeks by dropping their butter prices Butter at the start of the pe riod sold at 70 cents pound The stores dropped it to 49 cents There was fantastic increase in sales FLAMES DAIRIES Speaking of the butter sun plus Mr Hamilton said the dairies are to blame He explained that nearly eve erywhere in Canada the provin cial milk boards guarantee farmers about $5 hunder weight for fluid milk Normally the dairies buy enough from farmers to meet the city de mand and then take tilper cent surplus as well But with the butter support at 54 cents the dairies had en couraged farmers to increase their herds and deliver more surplus milk tnitil surpluses now averaged 20 per cent and were high as 40 per cent in east ern Ontario and Montreal 45 Per

and over There were 300 such centres 52 more than at the previous census in 1956 Move To Imple Mr Hamilton said tnrmcrs get paid $250 hundredweight for this surplus milk The dairy then took off the butter and sold it to the government at 64 cents pound and diposcd of the rest ol the milk to skim milk plants In effect the government is trying to end this practlco by lowering the support price to 52 cents while continuing to pay the former 04 cents in the form of mum consumer subsidy it no longer will be profitable for dairies to buy so much our plus milk NDP Leader Imputes Timber Patronage
