Mr. Gordon McMillan, North Riv- er, who is working for the improve- ment of cereal seeds in the Province,_ was the first speaker. The seed of cereals which the tanner puts in the ground gives him less concern than any other seed he puts in the ground, he stated. The "Seed Drill Survey" was organized with the pur- pose of gaining information. Seed for sowing was collected from all three counties, Q21 samples in all. which were‘ sent to ‘the Do- minion MDOIQWIY in Backvflle.

Of the 421 samples, 311 could not be given a grade at all. some running as high es 15.000 weed seeds per pound.

Interesting Paper Pre- sented By The Chief Inspector, Mr. S. G. Peppin, At Associa- tion Meeting.

The following report of the seed

service 1930 was read by Mr. .5. G. Peppin, chief potato inspector for the Province, ct lest night's agricultural meeting:

The demand for certified seed po- tatoes continues to increase year by year. This statement applies more particularly to the Atlantic seaboard states.

The production of the seed require- ments for this market is c fined more or less to the following states and provinces: Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, New York. New Brunswick. Nova Scotia and Prince niward Island. These districts had a combined total area entered for offi- cial inspection in 19:0 amounting to 44,710 acres. Oi’ that amount 16.025 acres passed final field inspection. The principal varieties entered were: Irish ’Cobbler, Green Mountain, liiluldlnl R40. Smooth Rural, itus- aet Rural and lilac Triumph.

The following paper‘ was presented by Mr. Fred Nash, Poultry Promoter, at tiie annual meeting of the Egg and Poultry Association: Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle- menz- . It is indeed u. pleasure for me to be in attendance at your meeting today and to note the progress made by your business. ' Whenever any endeavor is made to render a service to the public iium- crous problems are encountered. Only actual operation of such a service can determine tlic best methods in making it efihcicnt and acceptable to the public. The Co-operative management wishes the members to give them sufflcient volume of eggs and poultry of good quality to justify the under-l taking and ensure that all unavoid- able overhead charges caii be met; further they desire the loyalty on the part of the members in reference to all details affecting the rules and re- gulations of the Association. Is each member co-opcrailng in this res- pect? This is best answered by your- selves. Members of tlic Co-opersttve in turn demand that their management operate their Association efflciently and secure for them a fair market price for their products. Let us see what they are (l0lllg iii this respect. The past yellr has been one of de- pression throughout Canada and Prince Edward Island has suffered in common with other provinces. Due to the present world wide de- pression in business, the poultry in- dustry experienced a trying time throughout .1930.’ ltdllbs difficult to make sales at n price which would

[under adverse conditions, returned ‘you prices on your products which ensured all a nice profit for their poultry efforts during i930, when it was so badly needed. First I want to congratulate the Management on their good showing for 1930. R5 it‘ was one year WhCn it took foresight and good judgment to tllflgllfllli‘ the market. Further from the _vclir's showing, co-opcrritive members should henceforth support their As- sociation to their iitliiost and en- deavor t.o show a bit more loyiilty in future years.

My reason for breaching this mut- ter at this time is that it appears on the surface that when conditions throughout Canada arc bright, slid we experience good demand for our p. ‘ ‘ , members drift away. or give very little support to their Associa- tion. But when conditions are the reverse, they expect their Manage- ment to do just wliiit they cannot do themselves, sell their irroduct to good advantage. During the past five years we have had good, fair. and bad years, and at this time, members should realize and know whether their co-operatlve has been a benefit to them or not. If it has. the lsast you can do is to strive henceforth to make your associa- tion the benner one in Canada.

There is another matter I wish to discuss with you this aftemcan and that is egg quality. In past years P. l. Island was noted for the quality of-

itc eggs shipped to Upper Canada markets. In fact, they were consid-

nroe from a buyer's etandwint, the

age.

most desirable in Oariaqg. The quality was such that they com- manded a premium on the mgr-get, Today the situatio is critilqly re- versed. In i929 Island eggs failed to secure a. premium in price and in 1930 they were actually quoted at a discount. When 1n Montreal lat fall, I-saw eggs from another pro- vince seli as high as six cents more per dozen than those from Prince Edward Island. Montreal dealers Stet-e they have difficulty in selling P. E. Island eggs to retail stores. The merchants are afraid of the nullity. 1n past years eggs marked from P. E. Island immcdla ‘ create: ready sale for them. but today be hgve them show they come from here, is to create en additicnahepgtgeig in irieirmirmi- sale. I will admit ‘(are statements such as these may appear exaggerated to you, as they did io_ me, but nevertheless, they are true.

Early last; fall, accompaniid by 1n- spector Arsenault, I visited Montreal. we called on the dealers and exam- ined Islcnd eggs st their plant. I sun very sorry to state that I was not at all pleased with the quality of our eggs, and am firmly of the belief that unless we do something, and do that at. once, we will have lost our market for eggs in Upper cjngdg, You can realise lust how serious the situation is when I stbte tbQt 66% of olir else are sold in Upper Ceca-dc annually. You can also realise that if this market is lost to us, our egg trade is ruined. Another point for our producers to remember, besides the loss of their market, is the mon- ey they are losing through market- ing low quality eggs. In 1915 Co- operative eggs graded 75% kins. Since that time these has been g, gradual decline until in the pest year they graded only 50% Extras. This is a decline of 25% in quality. There is usually l. spread of 4 cents between Extras and firsts. Last ygsr your Co-operative handled 1,500,000 dozens of eggs and using the figures I have Just quoted. the members through this decline in quality, lost $15,000.00, or a loss of a cent per dozen on every dozen handled by your (Jo-operative. An actual check up on records would probably show g greater loss. This loss must be at- tributed absolutely to the producer, and lie is the only one who can rem- edy the situation.

To scure definite infcnnetlon and to place the blame for the decline in quality on the right shoulders we shipped a car of Government grad- ed eggs to Montreal. This, balm-Q leaving the Island was inspected and found to be up to grade, which clears the packer of being respons- ible for neglect. We arranged m have Inspector Arienlult qccompariy thc car en route to find out. if dny- thins’ transpired during the trip which might affect the quality. In- spector Arsenault reports a satis- factory trip. Whan the car reached Montreal a sample cf It copes was withdrawn, and was regreded by In- liiectcr Hedgecoe, of Montreal, In- spector Arsenault, and myself. We found a shrink in quality of 23%, This Proved beyond a doubt that the blame for this decline rlts with Ig- isnd producers.
