STIFF COMPETITION IN
FOREIGN FARM
MARKETS IS SEEN
Increased competition abroad Will
offset better home markets for Can
adian farmers next year according to
D. R, Campbell, of the Ontario Ag
ricultural College,
Mr. Campbell, head of the depart
ment of agricultural economics at
OAC, was addressing the opening
session of a four-day short course in
agricultral economics being held at
the college for leaders of farm or
ganizations and co-operatives.
He said the outlook for Canada as
a whole in 1955 seems to call for
cautious optimism but “it does ap
pear, however, that the outlook for
agriculture is no better than the situ
ation in 1954.”
“We should have a somewhat larger
market at home, but we face increas
ed competition abroad, especially
from the U. S. government-owned >ur-
pluses,” he said,
“For rarmers in Canada, careful
management to reduce costs and fnl,+
advantage of markets, will he more
important than ever in 1955 "
