ANC HAAN A AAEM Cruickshank Makes Appeal for Egg Men FEED PRICES CHARGES, HOWEVER, CHALLENGED BY COAST BUSINESSMAN Within two weeks of the time the government reduced freight tates on mixed grains, British Co- lumbia feed companies increased their price from $1 to $2 a ton. Such was the charge of George Cruickshank (Liberal, Fraser Val- ley) in the Commons last week during discussions into which he introduced a plea for a better deal for the poultry farmers of the province, He said that no government de- partment had taken any action j against this rise in price. His argument was that the in- |dustry in B.C. is not getting a '“cost of production” return.

He said poultrymen of this constituency received an average of only 16% cents a do- zen for their eggs last year and could not produce for that price, As a result, thousands of poul- try were being slaughtered and, jhe added, “We are not getting paid for plowing our chickens un- der.” Prizes An and Straw- popular with the guests. were donated by local food cake was raffled won by berries and ice cream were served from gaily-decorated proceeds from the festival amount- ed to almost $55.
