FARM | NOTES D. REIMER The Pacific Tribune is to be congratulated for the ex- cellent and: very timely ar- ticle on the Fraser Valley Poultry Marketing Board in the January 2nd issue. While we can agree that it would. be wrong to oppose marketing boards as such it should nevertheless be point- ed out that a marketing board will be faced with many obstacles at this par- ‘ticular time and on. this_par- ticular commodity. For ene thing poultry prod- ucts are more or less in con- stant supply unlike other farm produced commodities such as wheat, fruit and veg- etables which are produced once a year and have to be released to the retail trade over a long period and the board’s function is to regulate the steady flow to the con- sumer. The committee sponsoring the marketing board has is- sued a set of rules and regula- tions consisting of about 28 sections dealing with the pow- ers of the board (printed in The Canadian Poultryman for June). No proposals are made as to better prices to produ- cers or ways and means of curtailing imports or dumping which have dogged the B.C. farmer for many years. It should also be borne in mind: that it would cost real money to operate such a board and the cest would naturally be borne by the poultrymen. According to statements in Canadian Poul- tryman, May issue, this com- mittee has spent in the neigh- borhood of $10,000 on this campaign.

Entitled, ‘‘Delta Needs Co- lumbia Power,’ the leaflet says: “Ihe lower mainland is a natural for industrial devel- opment. But it is possible on- ly if we have cheap nydro power. This means the Colum bia must not be used just t0 store water for U.S. hydro stations.” : The leaflet proposes, “we develop our hydro power for Canadian industry.” It urges letters of protest to Ottaw@ and Victoria demanding the Columbia treaty be cancelled and urges no long term export of pewer.
