Eighty-six years ago Charles Sangster —0ne of Canada's earliest poets-published a poem en- titled, “England and America." In this poem he forecast a day. (writes Edgar z\ndrc\v Collard iii Montreal Gazette) when the freedom of tlic world would be in peril, and when England and America would-

“ . . . - united stand and labor.

Side by side, and hand in hand. Battling with the sword of Freedom,

For the peace of every land."

The time at which Sangster was writing offer- ed little cnuugli hope for Anglo-American unity. England and America were then divided by bit- ter iiiistitiderstandings_ lndeetl, iii I856 —tlie very year iii which this poem was published-matters had become so serious that the American am- bassador at London was wondering whether he was about to be handed his passport. Sangster was a IIKHVSPEIPCI‘ man in Kingston at the time and piilllislicil two volumes of poems. Critics of Can- athziir poetry have generally considered Sangstcr as being in advance of his time in the awareness of a Canadian national spirit and destiny which ClHIFIICICTIIZCS his work. But iliis poem, “England and America," WlIlCll has been tieglcctcd by iicar- ly all. his critics. and which has never found its way into an anthology of Canadian verse, reveals that Snngstcr was far in advance of his time in another respect He foresaw, with a most excep- tional clarity, that events would tiltimately bring forth the ftill lllliflfllltflllill unity of linglniitl and ihiierica. and that upon this unity the whole free-

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND AND CONFEDERATION

Sin-On Saturday the Charlotte- town Guardian put. the followin¢ question to 1t: readers: “Why mould our Government stead idly by and let our Confederation a- greement with the rest of Canada. be treated as so much waste pa-

mu question, I believe.

l; only one reply. namely.

that the people of Prince Edward

Island have never told the present.

government nor my previous Pro-

vincial government. to do otherwise than is now being dcne.

Adlnlttledly, there f5 1110011 d18- eontent throughout. the Province regarding the treatment. by Otlnwn. ever since confederation, of the Pmvinoe’: evident requirements. On the other hand. at. zio time have the peo 1e o: the Province as a whole ma a unit/ed d-smand for redress.

Under modern Democracy, gov- ernments do not initiate. They keep their ears close to the round-list- ening for rumblings, bu. until the quake follows that threaten: to wreck the foundation of the par- ticular party political machine up- on whtch the existing government depend; for its return to power. the continue to mind their own business and aft/end to the daily routine, which as a rule is suffic- ient to keep them busy»

The above course has. I believe. been followed very closely by the several Liberal and conservative governments. with the result. that the battles of the Prcvinpe have never been fought. to a finish M Ottawa. Meantime, the Central and Western provinces, with their over- whelming representation In Par- liament, have gra-bbed tretty nearly everything lzi "sight and have out- voted in Parliament almost all 0i this Provinoe's decuands.

is not. reasonable to eXpecl either a Liberal or Conservative government; to put up a real fight fur Prince Edviard Island unless ll; is assured lhaZ the peopie of the Prcvtnoe as a Mule are absolutely at its back, and wlmt hcpe I5. there of any such solidity s0 ion! a5 the electors divide themselves into her- editgry opposing factions?

Break u the two pcilttcal spoil systems w ich engender a person- al, selfish motive instead of a pro bono publtco motive; forget the two political names, Liberal and Conservative, both p! which have long since lost. their real slxntfi- ganoe. and you will see this Pro- Vince forge she-Pd into a position cit-great pcsperlty, in which half a million qr more pecple will live ha/p-py, healthful and contented lives.

If the Guardian and the Patriot will each of them declare itself to be ccm-pleteiy indecendsnt. of pflfly politics. agreekig In all cases upon the sup-pert of certain candidates In elections and working jointly and solely In the interests of the Pro- vince, they will at onoe be given the strongest pcssible support of all the best people oi’ Prince Ed- ward Island.

I am not advocating a. flower garden, though It is a. beautiful as- set to a. home, but the essential things are those which constitute food such as beets, carrcts. pars- nips, beans and peas. Vegetables vshfclh. if they cannct be utilized in season. can be canned for use of ‘he family throughout the winter. This would lessen, to a. Brent ex- tent, the consumption of meat on the farm.

You will have plenty for yourself and sume for your neighbours as well. This is s. very effective way in growing cu- cumbers and pumpkins.

There Ls peihaps nothing grown in a garden that Ls appreciated by ttie home so much as strawberries and wnen you c.me to think ma: a. hundred toot rcw of strawbernes well cared for will give forty (40) quarts of berries, it I5 a wonderful yield.

You cannot get berries m one year. The beds must be planted this year and properly cared for. There are many reasons why the farmers of this province should plant. gardens.

"STEM END BROWNING” AND "NET NECROSIS" IN 'POTATOES

Sim-There is not ‘he least. doubt, that whatever the t-rue st - nificance is of these two wel- known and widely prevalent. troubles, their presence in potato tubers has caused serious conster- nation to the producer, stripper, purchaser and not. least to the in- s actor both of table and seed s ccks.

Whatever claims have been ad- vanced that the more Insignificant types of both these annoying troub- les may be completely disregarded is analogous "to fiction rlsinlz pleasing to the eye." I believe all concerned will readily agree on one point viz., that oif preference of

potatoes, whether Intended for the a;

table or seed. which do not exhf-h- it these blemishes.

From the technical point of view most. plant: pathologists realize that these popular terms ¢over a. multi- tude of mast. perplexing pILhOlOQ- teat as well as physical causes. all of which, or many of which, are in- dlsliflwlfhmblc by mere visual ex- smlzinflon.

In some piovinnes thus s.em end browning or net necrosis situation has beccme a really alarming Prob- lcm. in others it has not yet be- cgme quite so evident, but may d0 50 any time. To uhzm is the pro- ducer to look tcr pa isaneel-To the plant pathoiogzs The plant. pathologists all over- ihe wcrtd have studied these phenomena for some time and frcm all angles and yet. are scarcely farther ahead than their medical Qclieaglles W110 m!!! not. know the cause and 01111 01 many human Ills-but who knc-w much about. reasonable prophylac- tic (preventive) measures and gen- eral methods of sanitation "IQ! certainly have shc-ivn apprecllbie beneficial results. Just so.

There 1s a. SUSDILICZI l my mind that the present glliifll-‘OII is the result; of having failed to recognize the true significance of stem end browning and net necrcsis possibly many years ago Mien the amount. was definitely neglfgible, and thus was assed by. Many cf these trcub es are definitely cumulative and, apparently, neglecting me earliest and most. Insignificant manifestations together with the apologetic attitude of leniency‘ on the part. of Inspectors-elemental for by the shippers-and so wel- ccme to the unfortunate grower- have much to account for in the present situation.

Many a tamer has been advised to plant: potators ghcwng stem end dlscotouratlcns. It was ex- plained That. “here early frosts have killed the tops, the tubers may show Stem end browning that dues not. in any way impair the vigour of Lhe sesd. True, they might have got away with It when uslzig their own seed. but once the seed has changed hands, who is there to distinguish one type of discolouration frcm another? What. is to be done about It? Unless seme- thlng effective I5 done and that. without. delay, these two troubles will continue and have most. unde- sirable effects cn potato produc- tion especlaily o-f verified seed. b0 much so that B fzi-meriy thriving

The Ideal solution of the situation may not. be prac- tical at. this stage but rere ft is: If the former well established and well founded reputation of potato growers c! any province is to be regained in the elierttst possible space-my advice ls not. to plant. tinder any circumstances a. single potato that shows tre least evidence stem end browning or net ne- crosis, Where this is economically impossible at the presnl. time, all responsible grc-wsrs should at. letvt plant. a certain area with such scrupulously selected seed and con- tinue to do so unttt he has eilmtti- aied all of these troubles.

Research workers are at work on the problems and If a more speedy solution ls offered a0 much the better, Meanwhile the speed and extent to which the suggested method is effected will shorten or lengthen the period it. require; to eliminate these annoying troubles. ‘There exist».- at prerenl no safer and more effective means.
