consider today and we suggest you keep in 'mlnd that it seems absolutely necessary that we re- turn to a sound basis as to mem- bership. It is entirely too vague at the moment and it leaves a great load and a great responsibility on the directors you appoint. Give your directors the support they require tcdav.

FWTIIJZEII PRICES

"During the past year your Association handled the usual volixne of fertilizer and with re- gard to prices last year we feel that something should be said now that probably should have been stated long ago. We refer to the prices charged to Island farmers last spring and we wish here to publicly give crdit to the Fertil- izer Manufacturers of PEI. who established the price below main- land prices with resultant saving to the Island of almost one quarter of,a million dollars during the Spring of 1950.

"We understand that again this year Island growers are to be placed in a perierred position as far as fertilizer prices are con- cerned and we must give our local manufacturers credit for the same. on the question oi fertiliers. we tlrink that more research should be done by the Experimental Farms as to relation.ship'of starch content of the potatoes to the mixture of fertilizer used. At the Experimental Farm, Kentville, N. S. it was found that the average starch contained by potiatoes was reduced 2.6 per cent by the addi- tion oi 5 per cent Pctash..

Another matter you might bring to the attention of the Maritime Fertilizer Council is the fact that the great amount of fertilizers sold in this Province are not marked as to acidity. In other words .some fertilizers may be neutralized in the mixing process while others are not.

"We believe that inasmuch as some of our sons are very close to the point of being susceptible to scab it would be helpful to grow- ers to have some indication of the acidity of the fertilizer marked on the bag.

"At this point it might be in order to bring cur members up to date with the situation which pre- vails this year. Once again we have experienced for the 1960 crop a condition oi over production on the whole oi the North American continent. The support price in U-5-Pu W88 fixed at 80 per cent oi Parity which resulted in an ex. t ', low, level of prices here, At; the same time we harvested in Granada a-crop of the staggering proportions of over ninety-seven million bushels.

"The situation is still uncertain whether the crop will all be mark.

eted profitably. The fact is that about iiity-seven hundred cars are already shipped from the Province and it looks as though we shall not have any more than 2300 cars left. Market prospects are not bright for the next few months. however. it is hoped that at least present level of prices will be maintained.

"Too Mitch Talk"

"At this juncture it will be well to examine the perdicament of our potato producers and at the same time one would wonder at the great amount of publicity given the potatop industry in the papers during the past weeks. I have the greatest regard for some of our potato dealers but we do think there is too much talk over petty trifles while the whole industry stands in a precarious position. No doubt you are onderihg today whether you can contiue irl bus- llless or not. It should be a matter of great concern to us all. dealers- and growers alike.

"On the one hand we face rising cost for everything used in pro- duction-fertilizer; bags. insect- icides. labour. and transportation on the other hand potato prices are dlsaprcportionate to the gen- eral level oi food prices. Let us look at our situation in detail. It is estimated that we shall market 6 1-2 million bushels oi potatoes and the average price, to the grow- er is not over .40 cents per. bushel. which would represent a return of 02.600000 to the growers. At the same time the fertilizer bill alone for last years crop amounts to over two million dollars.

"The whole veg ' industry

this Association.

"Before concluding we not forget to mention our trans- Dortatlon matters. we have few complaints in this regard this year. We must tell you that we con- sider our local Railway officials lave us the best service possible during the year and we think you should express our great appreciation for their work. The matter of increased freight rates will be consldeed shortly and in this connection we feel that this Island province cannot stand any additional load.

"We wish to express our appre- ciation of the work oi both seed and table inspectors also the Do- mihicn Science Services.

"Both the Department of En- tomology and Pathology Plants are u.-mplirnented on their excel- lent service. During last ecember Mr. S. G. Peppin retlrd after thirty-five years of service to the Industry. All members of this Association know Mr.-. ' Peppln's fine service he rendered to the industry. We think if there is ever a "Hall of Fame" instituted in P.E.I. for the potato industry. 8. G. Peppln should be one oi the first selected for this' distinction.

"In conclusion we wish to again express the appreciation to the members of our staff for their co-cperatlon during the year also to the Directors and last to all the patrcns who make the Association possible."

Many are the experts who have tried to find. and recommend an answer to these problems. some say the farmers should form one great Marketing Board where they will handle the problems both nationally and internationally. To me it seems the day is far off be- fore you can count on controlling the whole vegetable supply of North America. What we can do is stop overproduction.

To the flock owner who already is taking the precautions necessary to market high quality eggs for table use the additional care in the production of hatchery eggs should not offer any great difficulty.

Many provinces now have breed- er sndyor hatchery flock policies and the individual hatcheryman, as well, may have his own ideas con- cerning the type oi flock from which he pusChB86B his supply of eggs. Contact the hatcheryman and oth- er authorities necessary to assure that all regulations with respect to type of flock. culling, males. envir- onmental (and particularly sanit- ary) conditions, blood testing. dis- ease control. etc. are met.

Start feeding a good quality breeder or hatohing mash three to six weeks prior to the sale oi hatch- ing eggs. Breeder rations are slight- ly higher in protein than standard laying meshes and contain higher percentages of other ingredients such as wheat germ. milk products. riboflavin. etc.. tending to ensure a higher per cent hatoh oi stronger and more vigorous chicks.

Most hatcherymen ask for an egg of a certain size. Grade to the weight limits required and remove all over-size. misshapen eggs and those with thin shell or rough and poor shell texture.
