CANADIAN BUTTER
QUITTING THE SURPLUS
EVEN AT A LOSS
(Received September 14, 2.30 p.m.), '", BEGINA, September 13.
Working through the' National Dairfl Council, the three Prairie Provinces, have made united efforts to indueu manufacturers in Eastern Canada to export a fair quota of butter. Theso efforts started after the Canadian butter surplus of 9,000,0001b was announced; last month. To this date the_ Western. Provinces havo received no Indication that any butter would be shipped to' the Old Country from tho East, according to Mr. P. E. Heed, Provincial' Dairy Commissioner, and the secretary] of the Western Dairy Association.' Mr* Beed said that Saskatchewan had ship* ped slightly niore than a million pounds to tho overseas market at a net loss which was heavier in the "early shipments, than in tho later.ones, the result of better prices being bbtained in Eng-. land. Alberta and Manitoba shipped' similar quotas, he said. "We realised that unless something was done quickljy winter would come on with the Canadian manufacturers carrying a big sur* plus that would mean a further decline in prices. Wo believed, and still believe, that the only thing to do was fotl each provinco to agree to export a cer» tain quota, even if at a loss."
