RATION CARDS FOR AMERICAN TOURISTS American tourists are entitled t) the same ration allowances as are provided for Canadian citizens. Visitors to Canada should apply to the Local Ration Board immediately upon arrival at their destination. They will be given an application form, and on completion of this will obtain a temporary ration card. Temporary ration cards are issued to visitors who remain in Canada for five days or more. Should the visitor be going to an isolated part of the country where there is no local ration board they may obtain the application form at the port of entry into Canada. This form may then be mailed to the near-1 est office of the Board. Owing to Canadian policies of subsidizing imports and distribution by zones, Canadian fertilizer prices are probably the lowest in any country of the world, being several dollars a ton less than in the United States or in the United Kingdom.
