11,129 growers in 1951. During
this same period there has been
a steady increase in population in
surrounding urban centres which
should 1ncreast potato consump-
tion accordingly. This is one. of
the items %wbich Will be discussed

Dairy Farmers Set
Aside Record Sum
For Advertising
Dairy preducers across Canada
set aside a record sum of over
$372.000 in 1956 for use in their
1957 advertising program accord-
ing to information tabled recent-
ly at a meeting of the management
committee of Dairy Farmer?'" of
Canada. Based on a deduction of a
cent -a -pound on butterfat marketed
in June each year, the best pre-
vious set-aside was $365,000 in
1954.
While officials of Dairy Farmers
of Canada view the 1856 set-aside
with satisfaction they are quick
to point out that a 100 per cent
set-aside in 11956 would have
amounted to $051.000 Main dif-
ficulty in reaching the potential
has been experienced In Quebec
and Ontario, the largest producers
of milk and cream. ?The set-aside
potential of these bo provinces
collectively in lad was $462,000.
Atberta'and Prince Edward Island
were the provinces closest .to 100
per cent of the potential.
• Latest returns reported from the
various provinces were: •British
Columbia. $12,558; Mberta. $43,20;
Saskatchewan. $4.106; Manhoba.
$34,430; Ontario. $141.097; Quebec.
