Farmers Will Seek Emergency Aid Declared in Prairie Provinces
Ottawa reports that the 1845 crop wear in prairie provinces has been declared an emergency year under the Prairie Farm Assistance Act. Agriculture Minister Gardiner said thousands of farmers will receive aid as drought losses are tallied. Aid is paid from a fund built by a one per cent levy on grain sales, with the treasury supplementing remaining needs. The government will decide if the year remains an emergency based on reports from PAA branches.
