AGRICULTURE

Prince Edward Island's strength lies in her fertile soil, admirably adapted for the growth of the pr0— ducts of mixed farming. The cost of facilities and public services to the individual taxpayer is less than in any other part of the continent; the spirit of agricultural cooperation has been developed to a greater

‘extent than any province in Canada.

It was the first Province to take up cooperative grading and selling of poultry and eggs and one of the first to embrace cooperative dairying and the grading and selling of wool products.

‘Over eighty pcr cent, of the popu- lationris engaged in agricultural pursuits and as a result Princc Edward Island has the largest per- dentage of actual producers of wealtlrtn any province in Canada.

Agriculture on the Island may be divided into three classes: Field Crops, Livestock and Dairying; in eachof these divisions a consistent production is maintained and mod- ern scientific methods employed. The estimated value of Field Crops

’ for 1934 is over ‘$9,000,000, based on

the yield and price of wheat, oats, barley, "Buckwheat, mixed grains, hay, potatoes and turnips. The gen- eral conditions prevailing in this phase of‘ our agricultural develop- ment. compare more than favorably with other agricultural Provinces of the Dominion. The field crop that has done more than anything else to put the Province on the Map of the World has been potatoes-certified seed principally. From 1920 to 1930 there was an ever increasing market for'_ certified seed Cobbler potatoes, not only in North America, but also in countries farther afield. This market was developed by the Prince Edward. Island. Potato. Growers‘ Association, a farmers’ co.operative organization that has added millions of dollars to the value of ‘potato cropsthrough its efficient adminis- tration. \<-

The livestock industry of the Province forms the basis on which successful agricultural development depends. The fertility and product- tveness of Island farms provide the necessary grains, roots and coarse fodder so essential in the econo. mtcal production of live stock an live stock products. ,
