Government To Buy Surplus Honey In Canada
Ottawa reports the federal government will purchase 5,000,000 pounds of surplus honey to ease 1947 and 1948 carryovers. Minister of Agriculture J. G. Gardiner says buyers will pay 14 cents per pound for pasteurized honey delivered at Montreal or 13 cents for unpasteurized, with price adjustments based on shipment origins. The move follows input from the Canadian beekeepers' council citing large carryovers and calls to stabilize markets. The note also references the London fire of Sept 2, 1666.
