Last week's storm was the first bad one to bit lobacco growers in the district for al- imost 20 years. Five farms in Durham lost al Ihein cneps last week, and a number of others face bcavy losses. Indications Ibis year pointed to a better Ihan normal tobac- co crop in Ibis anea. Last year Ihere wcre 2,781 acres planted te lobacco in Durham with an average yield o! 1,416 pounds per acre. The average lobacco farm employs about 15 people per season. There are prime rs, ty- ers, boat unloaders, tractor drivers, in addition 10 bbe cur- ing experts. An important part o! te- bacco farm-ing is done in the kilns. These are square box like structures in wbic-h tobac- ce is dried for marketing. While the average crop of bobacco in Ibis anea selîs for approximately $20,000, there is much expense in connection with the gnowing.

Agents and ad- justers have been out ini the fields since the storm last week. They have nefused ta put an estimate, on the total losses suffered. However, one insurance ad- juster said that no insurance company will give full coven- age in ball insurance. He pain- led out that some grewens have already harvested part of the crop. He àdded that in most cases the growens would flot receive full compensation for Iheir losses, and agrced that many had suffered a bad blow. Egg Support Plan Begins October lst Egg pnice support to produc- ers by means of deficiency pay- ments under the Agnicultunal Stabilizalion Act will begin with the marketing yean commencing October 1, 1959, the chairman o! the Agnicultural Stabilization Board announced boday. Pur- chases of eggs by lte Board, be stated, will be discontinued on Septemben 30. This, he pointed ouI, imple- ments the policy announced in the House o! Commons on May 7 by the Honounable Douglas S. Harkness. Minister o! Agricul- bure. In bis announcement at that lime the Minister stated Ihat he had directed the Board te develop a procedure for pro- viding prîce support for eggs by means of de!iciency payments 10 producers, te replace the present method of provid.ing sup- port through purchases of eggs by the Board. The Minster added that a limitation would be placed on the ainount of de- ficiency payment made te a producer in a given lime. In keeping with this prin- ciple, payments 10 any one pro- ducer durîng a 12-month perioci w.11 be limited 10 4,000 dozen 'Grade A Large size eggs, in- cluding Grade A Extra Large size. Each producer marketing eggs through registered egg grading stations will be eligible 10 participate i deficiency pay- ments Up to Ibis maximum, re- gardless of the total volume o! eggs marketed by hum. A national average price ne- ceived by producers for Grade A Large size eggs at negistcred egg grading stations will be used to delermine whethen a de- ficiency payment is requircd and, if so, the rate of such pay- ment per dozen eggs. The rate o! payment will be i.miform to producers in ahi parts o! Canada, regardless o! the pnice received in the market. Il is proposed that, shoulci de- ficiency payments be ncccssary te support avenage pnices aI the pnescribcd level, they wilh be tmade on an annual basis. Con- sidenation will, howevcr, be giv- en to making an interim pay- ment for the October-to-Decein- ber, 1959, period if the average producen-price falls substantially, below the prescribed price dur- ing that period. The Stabilization Board, stat- ed the Chairman, is now ithe precess o! registering producers, stnessing the point that, in order to be eligible for de- ficiency payments, any produc- ens whe have not yet registered should do so promptly. Regis- tration, he poînted out, is limit- ed te one person for eacb farin and all sales of eggs from that flock must be made in the name o! that person. Application forms, be added, arc available aI al] negistered egg grading stations.
