Price Support For.
Butter Means
Sure 'Employment'
Agricultural Minister Gardiner's
recent announcement he would
strive to maintain price supports
under some agriculture) products
would benefit city dwellers and
farmers alike, according to an of-
ficial of the Ontario Cream Pro-
ducers' Marketing Board.
"It's the only sensible system,"
said Thomas Byrns, Forest, Ont.,
vice-chairman of the board.
If we have a price support for
butter, for instance, it means the
farmer can plan ahead to at least
some degree, and this means that
he can plan certain purchases
which are, from time to time,
necessary on the term.
"These purchases are made in
the towns and cities of the pro-
vince, and they involve cars,
trucks, farm implements, clothing,
shoes and a number of things. And
every time the farmer makes a
purchase it means just that many
more hours of assured employment
for the city worker."
The support system, he was
quick to point out, also meant the
worker could plan ahead in anoth-
er way. With the .price of butter
supported at a certain level the
city worker is assured that prices
will not climb too far above that
figure and he needn't worry about
being forced to cut down on his
buying during periods of low pro-
duction and peak prices.
"And of course," ,said Mr.
Byrns,
"And,
prices man steady
employment in the cities, which
means the city worker will have
the money to buy our produce,
just as the same situation means
we will have at least a little money
to buy what he produces."
