Thomson, Clerk By BOB GABBERT Now Zealand Cheese The old bugaboo of the Department of Agriculture, purplus cheese stocks, came up for prolonged discussion this past week, during a series of annual meetings of farm organizations in the city of Toronto. The whole thing arose as a result of the announcement that the federal department of Agri­ culture had agreed to allow more than two millions pounds of New Zealand cheese to come into this country. The announcement was very .vague, but it brought forth a storm of protests from organizations concerned, pro­ tests that were anything but vague. It has been common knowledge of practically everyone in agricultural circles that We have a large surplus of cheese of our own manufacture. The Dominion Department of Agri­ culture, and the Prices Support Board have not let farmers forget this fact, and it has been a continued cause for alarm among the cheese producers, who have been afraid that the De­ partment would use this as an excuse to lower the floor price for cheese in the future. Some estimate as to the stocks on hand can be gathered from a recent statement by one of the Federal De­ partment officials who said there was enough Canadian cheese in storage to supply the domestic market for almost two years, even if no more were manufactured. Why then, is it neces­ sary to bring in New Zealand cheese? The Federal Government „ excused it’s actions by saying that it was a step toward.helping the New Zealarfd government regain their position in world trade. What they didn’t an­ nounce was the fact that the cheese was bought by a private firm, at a price much below our own cheese, and it will no doubt be used to help this already wealthy firm to make greater profits from the Canadian consumer. The fact remains then, that actually it was not the Govern­ ment's benevolence that prompted the action, but rather a pulling pf a few strings, in the right places, at the right time. Now, the Federatipn of Agriculture, the Ontario Cheese Producers Mar­keting Board, the Dairy Farmers of Canada, and other such minor groups as the Ontario Farmer’s union, are out to cut those Strings right off. They have vigorously protested the move, and just the other day in their annual meeting, thq Federation of Agriculture, petitioned the Dominion Government to rescind its arrange­ ment with the private firm, and allow the Cheese Producers Marketing Board to take delivery of the ship­ ment when it arrives. This action would prevent this one firm from getting a head start over the others jn the cheese processing business, and might avoid a lot of trouble. Up until now, there has been no comment from the trade, or from the big processor who arranged for the deal, but here would appear to be a rather "cheesey” topic that will no doubt keep the farm organizations, the Federal Department of Agriculture, the Prices' Support Board and the Department of Trade and Commerce busy for some time to come: Farm folk seem to agree that they would like protection from this hap­ pening again. Speculators in the trade say we should have open trade bar­ riers to allow such items to enter. But the consumer fails to see why such cannot be also done in such protected fields as the textile industry, the auto­ motive industry, and the farm mach- chinery business. Consumers are pay­ ing the full price asked by protected New Early Tomato Variety Released A new early tomato variety has been released for 1955 by the Experi­ mental Station, Harrow, Ontario, and is called "Harrow". This variety has been under test for the past four years under number 6-1205.1-7. Grow­ ers in the Leamington, Niagara and other districts in Canada and in Mas­ sachusetts have found that the variety has given them largely early yields of good quality tomatoes, states L, F. Ounsworth, The yields have been as early as or earlier than Bounty. The fruit runs a little smaller than Bounty, but of a size more acceptable to the con­ sumer. The plant is determinate in growth habit and produces a large number of early fruit. Practically all the fruits are crack-free, a character­ istic which has stood the variety in good stead in the staking tests. This new variety "Harrow" was compared with fourteen varieties on stakes in 1953 and 1954. In both, years outyielded all other varieties in the test,' many of them being recognized staking varieties, from the standpoint of early find total yields. The quality was high and with the freedom from cracking, the fruits were indeed at­ tractive. The fruit size on stakes has been very acceptable. Canadian manufacturers, plus a tidy array of taxes.
