Farm Crisis Debate Ridges House As Talks Stall
Opposition Leader Robert Stanfield pressed for interim farm relief measures in the Commons as the government refused to outline specific plans. Otto Lang, acting trade minister, pledged to share committee reports with Stanfield and noted high Wheat stocks while acknowledging seriousness of the crisis. John Diefenbaker questioned Liberal additions and acreage payments, as Lang promised a policy statement once reviews are complete.

Wheat to Flax May Not Be the Answer for Prairie Farmers
Prairie farmers shifting from wheat to flaxseed face lower prices and higher carryover warns S. Carmichael of the agriculture department. A Dominion Bureau of Statistics survey shows wheat sown area down 12 percent from 1968 while flaxseed acreage rises 62 percent to 2,468,000 acres, a recent high. Global demand weakens as the U.S. and Argentina expand production, lowering prices from $3.60 to about $3.20 per bushel. U.S. support price reduced to $2.75.
