Rev. H. D. Raymond, and a num- ber of jail prisoners. '

Mr. Taylor, who was not on duty at the time of the uccide it, describ- ed the routine of the jail, the man. her in which prisoners are locked up at night, and their privilege of’ using the corridors in the daytime.

Assistant Jallor Roberts testified that the fire occurred about s 0’- clock on Wednesday evening. He had made his rounds about five minutes before and had noticed nothing unusual. He was in the outside lobby talking to Mr. Sher. ran, a. Falconwood attendant on duty in the jail, when he heard noises from the prisoners. He and Sherran immediately went into the prisoners‘ quarters, and found Mr. Coles’ cell in flames. Before they could get the cell door open the un. fortunate inmate was very badly burned. Medical assistance was im- niediately called.

The floor of the cell was found to be strewn with excelslor ivherc the mattress had been tom up.

Dr. MacLauglilixt gave evidence u; to the deceased patient‘s mental. condition, which was such that close confinement was necessary.

Dr. Ledwell testified to being call- ed to see the patient on Wednesday lllélht. He found Mr. Coles in a critical condition and had him re- moved immediately to the char. lottetown Hospital. Death, witness stated, was due to shock folloivlng extensive burns.

Rev. lvlr. Raymond stated he had been called to the Charlottetown Hospital about 0 o'clock Tuesday night to see the patient, whom he found in a conscious condition and able to talk. The patient (icciaretl that the fire ivas caused by someone throwing matches into ills cell. Ho iilic patient) made the same state- ment in prcsrizce of ‘his ftunily;

OTTAWA, Ont.. Jan. 28.—Em- ployinent on Jan. 1, 1932, had drop- ped 7.0 per cent as compared with Dec. 1, 1031, according to a. report of the Dominion Bureau of Statis- tics based on returns from 7,832 firms. Payrolls of these firms dc- ciilicrl from 001,402 persons on Dec. 1 last to 835,960 on the first of Jan- uary. The decline was about equal to the average loss between the first day of the last month of the year and thc first of the new year.

There was u decrease in employ- nicnt in the Maritime Provinces on Jan. 1. This occurred chiefly in manufacturing and construction, but logging and trade were also slacker. On the other hand, trans- portation showed seasonal improve- ment with the opening of the win- ter ports. Statements were received from 575 firms employing 70,480 persons, compared with 77,647 at the beginning of December.

ML 3011*?!» report. which was read by Mr. Lorne McFarlanc, as- slstant secretary of the Association, was tabled without discussion. Its adoption was moved but not sec- onded.

The report follows:

Chairman and gentlemen:

Your secretary regrets very much that it is absolutely neces- sary to be absent from this meet- ing. It is the ﬁrst time since the Association was organized, that this his oceurcrd. This is not a business meeting, but merely u. meeting put; on during Farmer's Week, to talk over one of the most important industries of the Province, and as such, it is not, conﬁned to the p0- tato Growers‘ Association-but ta everyone interested in potato grow- ing.

opportunity of listening to the speaker of the evening. This is a prlvilege,.I know from experience, you will greatly enjoy, as Mr. Mac- Donald has made a very careful study of marketing and extension work.

The agricultural situation of to- day is probably the ivorst in the memory of any present, This does not apply to potatoes alone, but to cverlvi-htng the farmer is producing. 'I‘h’s is not n- subject that We need dwell on: cvciyonc realizes the bit- tor emcvlcnce of a poor market, nnd when it comes to potatoes, there is no market at all.

It is ior this rca on that our Gov- criimeui, has seen lit to make a lllftllCl‘ endeavor to obtain a inur- kct for the surplus potatoes in the hIillftllHCS, and. your Secretary, while this is being,- lead, will be eiiroiue ‘to London, to Q-iifci" there iviih others, in how best to pres- ent. ihc '.:;on for (ire-Lt Britain in billing our potatoes.

ZiIu~t Sufcgilarri Industry

Cilia growers here may rest as- sured that we will not iuider any consideration endanger .tlie indust- iy or this country by allowing the European potatoes entry to Canada, as we must protect our country from any outside distrses which we are advised the European potatoes may VBYYY.

Briefly, let me set before W" what has been done during the fall. The yield of potatoes in this Pro- vince was much below that of other years. Your management, knowing this, ventured to take the respon- sibility of moving, both for sale and stortge, all the potatoes which our members wlshlto d spcsc 0f, on the basis set forth in our circular. This circular adv‘sed that in order to have the seed potatoes 0n the mar- ket at atme when they would be needed for planting. they should be placed in storage in the fall, when they could be moved at the water rate, rther than by rail dur- ing the. winter. The cost of do- 111g this amounted in practically eighty ‘cents n. sack. ‘This cost ln- cluded the price of the b118, B‘?- sembllng charges, water freght and storage.

Up to the end of the pooling season, or the last. of December. the Association moved prlctlcally six hundred thousand bushels of seed, about forty five thousand bushels of which were Bliss Triumilh for Cuba. The movement of table- stock did not exceed seventy thous- and bushels. most of which W01‘? arnt to Cuba. Our total moved for the fall, incituvnc lumps, Wes ﬂ- round seven hundred thWSB-"d bushcls.

The fcw potatoes sold helped to finance the costs, thc bank advanc- lng the irlunce, providing the As- sociation would HBTEB 11°‘ W P“ the farmer any money °" the 11°" intocs, until these were cold ﬁnd paid for.

THE eaaaryrrerqvycvelialaiv‘

fhlt the farmers in the United States are in no better ﬁnancial situation than we. 1n many cec- tIOII-B. the reports we receive, would indicate they are not nearly so well oﬂ’. The banks of the United Stat- es are not accepting the farmer's or dealer's notes, as securities 101" loans. All this means there is no mllﬂey which would ullow the deal- ers to take over the potatoes at thli time.

present situation. We cannot move potatoes to any market. The Cub- an crop is being dug, which entire- ly shuts oft the Cuban sales. as their tablestock potatoes are sell- ing for less than the duty against Canadian potatoes. Montreal and other Canadian markets, are re- iceiving all they can use at prices running from 55 cents to 65 cent-i per 90 pound sack, which when

charges are deducted, does not leave sufficient to warrant the moving. In this respect, we are

very little worse off than the grow- ers in the State of Maine, who are not receiving more turn irom 4U to 50 cents per barrel.

You may rest assured that such a conditcn will inspire your Sec- retary to exhaust eveiy eilort in an attempt to have the embargo raised, even though i‘. h..- but tem- porary.

Prospects For 1032

There may be tlil-Jiitiﬂllh‘ in your mind which you would like to dis- cuss. Po sibiy you are wondering about next year. From the best ad- vices we on obtain, it looks as

though the man who carries on his regular acreage in potatoes in

1932, may have an available mar- ket. We have been advised that 8- grcat mtny sections are cutting their acreage this year from forty to fifty percent bcioiv that of last year. It looks as though the grow- crs in these sections arc findng it dirlicult to buy seed and fertilizer. This condition applies to all sec- tions, where they have been de- pending entirely on potatoes, and it would not be a surprise, if cill in the State of Maine, “'9 shouli ﬁnd less potatoes. next year.

_But the question is, how docs that help us in Prince Edward Is- land? We too will find it difficult to buy fertilizer. With the rate of ex- change against us, we can hardly hope for prices even as good a5 last year. Ammonia w ii be cheap- er; potash will in all probability be dezrer; while acid phosphate may not vary much in price with 1931.

It would appear to be good bus- iness for our farmers to use all the barn yard manure they can pos- sibly get. This may be increased in quantity by, sea-weed wherever obtainable. An application of barn ylrd manure with acid phosphate, will no doubt produce a very good yield.

We have had quotations on fer- tilizer, but have not bought, nor do we intend to uiitii we are satis- ﬁed we have reached the lowest dol- lar at which it is possible to pur- chase the chemicals. If there is as great a spread between the price o1’ the plant food in cliemiols and mixed fertilizer, we do not anticl- pate a very heavy movement of ready m'xed. We are, however, negotiating with a firm, which we believe will give us a record 10W price on mixcd‘"féi‘tiliz*r.

Other Varieties Another question you may wch to talk about, is the advisability of growing Bliss Triuml-g. Personally, I think it world be unwise to hive .1 large acreage of this variety. New Brunswick has been very successful with this variety, and last year shipped very large quantities to Cuba. One thing we learned from our 1931 experience l5 that we must plant them as early them dug, and allow sufficient time to cure, before putting tllem in U18 barrels for shipment. There is a market for more thazrwehlld ti’!!! year, providing we have them ready in time to meet that market. oth- erwise, they would have been sold at a less price. We have some 800d seed of this variety, which we could secure for any who wished a few acres.

Ouracreage in Spaiildlng Rose is decreasing. If there ls any mm‘- ket at all, we should have enoush Spaulding Rose to load a steamer. Ti’ we knew eirly in the season that these were available, we could sell them. ‘This year, of course, was an exception.

‘rhe management hav~ endeav- ored to keep down expenses. We ad- vised you in our circular or a re- ducton of 20 per cent in the sal- ary 0f the staff. Beginnng Jim- uary 1st, we were obllgcd to iu k5 another reduction of 25 per cent. 111i: was done rather than dbmlﬁs any of the staff, who will be re- qrlrcd for settlement In March. and for the fertilizer later on. The rh- t-‘re staff accepted this, feelng it Willi in the interests of the As- r-'.~l'rn t0 do so. I

You are well acquainted with the‘

in which our members have ac- cepted the very serious period through which we h-we passed. It ls discouraging to be responsible for the marketing of so large a quantity of potatoes, when markets are impossible, and when we realize how scarce money ls, it makcs it the more dIffLcuIt not w be able to make paynrenis, and thus assist to some extent the difficulties of the farmer, who is iglways the ﬁrst to iauﬁer in hard times, and the last to feel the benefits of gcod times. What a pity there could not be the organization among farmers that exsts bciwecn manufacturers! and buﬂncss generally. The decline‘ in the price of agricultural pro- ducts, comparcd with the decline in theprlce of the things the f-lr- mer must buy, ls terribly against the farmer. It requires a man of courage to be at farmer. Let us hope we have passed through thc worst, and that 193'.‘ will bring u". less worries and more prosperity.
