Prairie Farm Prosperity Fraught With Frustration By ALLEN SACKMANN WINNIPEG (CP) -- Prairie grain farmers found prosperity fraught with frustration in 1965 as yields and grades tumbled with successive weeks of cold, wet harvest weather. They watched their record crop prospects, already hurt by rust, take a three- to six-week battering from rain, frost and early snow that President W. J. Parker of Manitoba Pool Ele- yators estimates cost them $100,000,000. They rejoiced in announce- Sebel pangs ane { pre mate dies a Sane, hs oe eMac virtually guaranteeing a market for the year's entire crop if the country's transportation facili- ties can get it delivered on time. They realized greater returns from sale of poultry products, hogs and livestock while costs of production and agricultural equipment climbed to new highs. The 677,917,000-bushel wheat crop--up 13 per cent from last year and 43 per cent higher than the 10-year average--and 'the assurance of continued markets held up the buoyant western economy, and over-all prospects for 1966 are good. E. A. Boden, second vice- president of the Saskatchewan | Wheat Pool, says: 'The outlook for cash income from grain in | 1966 is excellent, We can be con- jfident of exporting around 600,- }000,000 bushels of wheat during) -|the present crop year."' | Looking ahead: "Sales con- jtracts covering the crop year Farewell Sermon | starting next Aug. 1 are promis- ling. This means delivery oppor- ments of gigantic wheat sales to China and the Soviet Union, DISTRICT NEWS is expected to grade No, 1 and 2 while Alberta is expected to have only 10 per cent of its wheat in this classification and Manitoba one per cent. Lakehead price of No. 2 north- ern at the end of November was $1.92 a bushel while No. 4, predominant grade in Alberta and Manitoba, was $1.78. Exports during the 1964-65 erop year were well below the record 594,000,000 bushels of wheat shipped the previous year but this was due to the lack of a contract with the Soviet Un- ion. This year's target, how- ever, is 600,000,000 bushels with the impetus provided by a 222,. 000,000-bushel Russian contract. And the export market shows no sign of dwindling. At the end of October, Trade Minister Sharp announced Canada had signed 'a three-year agreement with China for the sale of at least 112,000,000 bushels of wheat starting Aug. 1, 1966.

Orientation Classes Set - LONDON, Ont. (CP)--Orien- | | tation classes for youngsters| who received transistorized | walkie-talkie sets at Christmas will begin next week, the South-| 3 western General Radio Associa- tion announced today. A call for the classes was; sparked by association radio) operators in the area who re-| ported air waves jammed with profanity and hit parades from the sets since Christmas. The toys are unlicensed, since they are supposedly low-pow- ered, but operate in any of the 19 general service channels. Within a mile of a licensed ra- dio operator they can interrupt, and in some cases jam broad- casts. | Association President Jack} Scott said that already individ- ual club members have tried to) 37 instruct the toy owners by in-| viting them to their homes and explaining procedure. But next week's meeting is the first or-| 7 ganized action of the club.
