§ Colonel Carverasked the Minister of Agriculture whether the potato acreage is to be increased next year; and whether he is aware that many growers have decided to grow corn instead, in view of the unremunerative prices of potatoes?
Mr. HudsonThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The prices for the 1940 main crop will have regard to the yield of the crop when that is known. Since these prices have not been fixed the question whether they are remunerative or not cannot yet have arisen.
