The following letter will be of

special interest to the farmers of this province, showing as it does the pos- sibilities in the growing of seed potatoes of the needed varieties. Charlotetown, P. E. 1., Nov. llth, 1918.

Geot W. liarison, Esq., Manager,

The Canadian Bank of Coinerco, Charlottetown. '

I IO*

Dear Sir: .

1 have to report that ns tt result oi'

the prize offered by you on behalf oi' The Canadian Bank of Commerce a larger number of fields of white rose potatoes than would otherwise have been the case whern entered for field inspection by our seed inspection service, and we were able to list n sutilcient amount of seed potatoes of i.l\e high- est quality to induce buyers In need of such stock to come into our mark- et. Three carloods of white seed potatoes have been sold under govern- ment inspection and guarantee, pro- bably the first. straight cars of such potatoes ever shipped from Prince Edward Island. The scheme \vhich you have financed has materially altl- ed to this end.

Through the prizes offered by you

we -.vera cuuhlcd to inspect eighty- seven fields of potatoes made up ot

the following varieties;-forty-six of Green Mountains; eleven of Irish Cob- blers; seven of Early-“Rose---anti twenty-three of other varieties. Ot' the competitors forty-four resided in Prince County, thirty-four in Kings County and nine in Queens County.

The main point of interest to those

who are familiar with the seed potato trade was the comparatively large amount of Green Mountain seed fmuid which was practically free from the Mosaic disease. In the main potato- lrowing regions of Canada and the United States the average pen-.entagc of Mosaic in this variety is about 2?. per cent. Mosaic is responsible for u boa of only 20 to 30 per cent. of the rrop under' our cool conditions, but in warm latitudes, where the demand br our see d potatoes exists, it may reduce the yield to almost nothing. As this disease is unusually difficult io control, the fact that Prince Ed word Island has u considerable amount ot seed which is practically bee means an usual advantage. ,-

Consideringthe fact that there has

been no inducement in the past to grow varities free from mixtures, the

e Bank. A ' A

inspection lrevealed satisfactory a state in this respect. On the other hand some owners of good fields were

disappointed when their crops' were found to be mixed and were marked

down on that ucount. Freedom from mixture is a very important point in seed potatoes. The general care given to the potato crop in cultivation, weeding and hilling, which is un im- Iportant aid in the prevryition of rot.

is not what it should be, Spraying isI

found to be rapidly increasing in use, with excellent results lo growers and shippers. 'Pho seed trade can never .bc developed in Prince Fdwartl ls- lnnd without thorough spraying.

I l have pleasure in recommending that the prizes be awarded to the fol- _lnwiug men who had the best fields. in the order given; lu respr-ct oi' freedom from diseases which affect the seed, freedom from mixtures, general vigour, trueness to type and general care of the crop!- 1 First Prize ($25.00) Mr. Frank Mc- l‘herson, Launching Place, P.

“At the moment when the Armistice was signed

_ To the Army, the King expresses his pride at the

brilliant success which has crowned more than four years of effort; and endurance,

"Germany, our most formidable enemy who plan-

Phillip Gibbs, the wcll known war

(-orrcspontleni. writing on t.he historic eleventh day of November, says:

(lnr troops knew carly this mornin.;

that the Armistice hnd been signed. l stopped on my way to Mons. Out- sldc brigade headquarters an oiilf-or sold: “llostilitios will cease ut eleven o'clock." Then h c added, us all men in their hearts, "Thank God for that." '

All the way to Mons there were

columns of troops on the march with their bands playing ahead oi' them. and almost every man had u flag on bin rifle, the red, blue and white or France, the red, yellow and black of Belgium. 'I'-hey were .owcrs in their caps and in their tunlcs, red ond white cin~ysun-themums given them by crowds of people who cheered them on their way--people who in many of those villages have been only one day liberated from the Gorman yoke.

Our men marched, singing with :1

smiling light in _their eyes. They had done their job. und it was ilnished with greatest victory in the world.

The war ended for us at Mons, as

it begun there. When I went into this town this morning it seemed to me tl must miraculous coincident and n
