Canada Expects 10 Sell
More Potatoes 10 j, :,

OTTAWA, June 2 canadian
Press).-Arrangements to increase
the Canadian production of pota-
toes for sale in the United States
were announced by the Agriculture
Department yesterday.
A second arrangement provides
for increased output of hog prod
ucts through a co-ordinated pro-
gram.
.Off1cials estimated that under a
reduced rate of duty, Canadian po-
tato exports to the United States
under quota arrangements may be
increased by 100000 or 10000, 900
bushels
The program for increasing hog
production gives support to the
present Canadian government pol
Icy of increasing the average weight
of hogs marketed, removing dis
counts on heavier weight bacon hogs
and raising minimum weight re-
quirements.
Producers are assured that prices
will be maintained at a level at
least as favorable as at present.
The department said the gov
ernment had approved of the two
joint arrangements which we're
recommended by the joint economic
committees of Canada and the
United States. The ARRANGEMENTS
have also met the approval of the
United States Government.
