T. L. Kentuedy, Onâ€" tario Minister of Agricuiture, last Friday ushered in a new era for the potao growers of Northern Ontarto, and particularly the Cochrarne disâ€" trict, whon he officialy opened the new potato storage and grading wareâ€" house which hss been built by .the Provincial Departmont of Agriculture to meet the needs of the potato growâ€" ers of that district. In oponing the warchouse. the Minister pointed out tnat when he was in the North a year ago, he was greatly impressed by the difficulties which the growers were difficulties which the growers were experiencing in findirg markets for their potatoes, although they supâ€" plied only six per cent of the needs of Northern Ontario for their product and hundreds of carloads of potatoes were brought in from the Maritimes tm in on t es in snn t cce 7?‘ V yee y ~ # * A k *("(YQ‘“m n mtz z333 WW"‘?‘S .M *smwm%g stt wig *mwmww f eqmo'».;k% W‘!W?“‘ *# f’vw y# gww‘g«?‘?fl?fi“fm‘“@“ | -z-' 3*»8 %?*’m‘m ‘Qz’?“’f‘?’ and other points. This brougsht out the need for potac grading and stor«â€" age at a converient point, and Cochâ€" rane was chosen as the logical cenwre. The Government urdertook to build the warehous> providing the potato growers organized their own coâ€"operâ€" ative to operate it and urdertaks the marketing of potatoes for iJhe norâ€" thern growers. This resultrd in the organization of the Cochrane F«cqcners Coâ€"operative, which has been wor‘ing in coâ€"operation with the Government in building and equipping the wateâ€" house. The Government provided a sum of $20,000 for its construction, In addition to providing storage in 45 carloads of potatoscs and modorn equipment, the building ailso provided space for grain storage and for a modern poucsry fill\n~ anÂ¥ dress ing plant. The nrovision ol this storâ€" age and grading warehouse is expectâ€" ed to bring about a great developâ€" ment of potato growing in the Cochâ€" rane district, one of the outstanding potato areas in the Province, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1945 c ace on «e Wt k *43 tÂ¥
