Carry-Over Menace Seen By Grain Trade
Ottawa hearings in the House of Commons committee on agriculture heard James Richardson of Winnipeg and Andrew Cairns of Winnipeg present farm produce marketing concerns. They warned of a 200,000,000 bushel carry-over and a similar surplus this year among wheat-growing nations while expressing optimism for longer term prospects and cautioning against a wheat board. Cairns warned that a market flood this year could trigger a national catastrophe without hedging, noting Europe’s lack of resentment toward Canada’s wheat pool and the war’s self-sufficiency lesson.
