-WAN’l‘ LIBRARY WORK CON- TlNUED-Mlss Nora Bstcson, Dir- ector of the Carnegie Library Dem- onstration for Prince Edward Is- land, consulted with the Kensing- ion Committee in the Library on Wednesday afternoon. Miss Bateson pointed out that this is the last year that the Carnegie Corporation will support the Demonstration and that if the Idbrary 1n Prince Edw rd Island is to continue ade- qua ly to serve the requirements of the people it will be necessary ioi-‘tlie Provincial Government to assume the financial responsibility of the Demonstration. It was de- rided to place a petition in the lib- rary requesting the Provincial Gov- ernment to carry on this splendid work. and to get as many people as possible to sign thLs petition. The sentiment of the meeting was that every consideration should be brought to bear on the Provincial Government and that nothing should be allowed to dissuade it from assuming the full financial responsibility of the demonstra- iion. Miss Bateson placed an ad- ditional three hundred books in the Library. At pncsent there are over nine hundred persons enjoy- ing the privileges oi the local branch. Members of the committee in attendance were the Chairman. Mayor J. M. Laird, the Secretary. J. Watson MacNaught. Norman MacDonald, Rev. R. MacDonald, P. I’. Rev. W. O..Rhoad.‘itev. B. Fream, Mrs. James Pendergast. and the local librarian. Mrs. John G. Tou'nsend.-Y.

ANNE JEAN MATHESON

The passing of Anne Jean, dearly beloved daughter o1 Mr. and Mrs. Angus Matheson on Sept. 23, 1935. has cast a shadow o! sorrow over Glen William and the surrounding districts which will not soon or ll;?.tly pass. Though only eight years of age her life has made a. deep impression on the hearts and minds oi’ all who had the pleasure of knowing her as a bfiihi. NW‘ tlful and loving child with leam- ing and wisdom beyond her years. She spent eight weeks in the Montague Hospital where she was surrounded with everything to comfort and sustain her in her suf- fering. never o. daypassedbutsome loved~one visited her to cheer her. The sympathy and thoughtfulness oi many of the 990131! 01' 100111118119 who although they were strangers to her kindly remembered her with flowers and gifts are much appre- plated by the bereaved parents. The funeral which was the 1813681‘- 56°11 in this vicinity in years was held at her home on Sent» 35th. F"- Allistcr Murray conducted the Scr- vicc assisted by Rev. T. R. Goudge oi Murray Harbor.

dollars we paid, opening up m“- kets to the South and still further south.

"For over a period oi tcn years we paid annually to the farmers oi this province an average of ovoi- seven hundred thousand dollars. A large number of those cheques were cashed by our city merchants in exchange for merchandise, thereby helping everybody. It was only last month I heard a Prominent lawyer, say, that when the Potato Growers Association was doing the business it was not difficult to get in loans and in- torest. Since the introduction oi Crop Mortgages, however, it was most difficult to collect anything. This goes to show the desire for a continuance oi the Potato Growers Association.

"Now gentlemen, as your Presi- dent. I ask every member to give us his business. To every friend of the Association I ask for a. word of encouragment. If.we get the business we win out.

“In a very few years with care- fui management we can pay our liabilities and no member will have to be asked or foroedto pay up. “Mr. Boulter. our manager, is the same man today as he was in our more prosperous days and, with Mr- ‘Thompson as assistant manager, a man oi wide experi- ence in buying and selling pro- duce. we have a team second to none in the province.

“The p nda oi suspicion against the Association is dying out fast. People realize that our losses were only what all others have experienced. Past and present their business was private ours is public. That is all the difference Our office is open daily. give us your business and your confid- once."

MANAGER'S uproar

The manager. Mr. J. W. Boulter, reported in part as follows:

We have met to discuss the af- fairs of our Association. 'I'his is the latest date at which we have- held our annual meeting. but there is a good reason for this de- lay. At the usual time for holding our meeting, the country was in- terested in a ProvincialElection. After the election. we felt tho only wise course was to wait until the new government took office. and approach them for some assist- ance, as our continuance in busi- ness depended entirely upon the support we would receive from the government. When the appeal from your directors liad received favour- able consideration, everyone was busy digging, and it was decided that now would be the most op- portune time at which to meet.

The financial statement. as pre- pared by the audiior. was made to include the month of July. a year of thirteen months. Copies of this statement were given to the members of the government, and they were able to see exactly what the Association had accomplished during the year. The reason we took July into the account. was because of the late deliveries of fertilizer, and the large amount of money outstanding. considerable of which we were able to collect during the month of July.

Every department ‘showed a prof- it. that is. taken separately, there was a profit on the potatoes, the turnips, the fertilizer. the spray material, the binder twine and the turnip seed. We are pleased to tell you right now. that difficult as the year was, with its heart-break- ing prices and lack of markets, we were able to pay our overhead ex- penses. As shown by the Auditor's statement, we realized in profits from our transactions, practically $100.00 short of our total opera!»- ing expenses.

But you must remember. this in- cludes the monih of July-a month in which we could not make any profits. as very little business could be carried on, except in the handling of spray materials, and this year not much of that was used. As our monthly expenses av- erage practically $1,400.00, you would see that had we closed our books at the end of June, we could have shown a small profit over operating expenses. It is true. our operating expenses were great- ly reduced below that of the pre- vious year. and had we been able to market a larger volume oi pro- duce. and sold an amount of fer- tilizer corresponding with i934. we could have reduced our deficit. But as everyone knows, the year was without parallel in the history of our Amociation. and possibly for a very much longer period. so far as difficulties in marketing were concerned. ,

The reduction made by our creditors hos considerably improved our standing. All this information will be shown in our financial statement of next year.

Quoting from the statement of the Auditor, he says:

"I wish to Point out that the Amociation practically earned its

ting expenses. -

"While criticism may be made that business was not dofle. on an exact co-opentive basis. with the

2463 small volume handled. it is herd

in say just what should have been the deduction for overhead. Had tho voluln of business been larger. tiara ll no question. the Associ- ntion would have showed consider- ebloprofit.

"I hereby certify that I'hl.ve audited the accounts of the P. E. I. Potato Growers’ Association. for the thirteen months ended July 31st. 1935. and I received all the infonnation and explanations I have Tflquired. In my opinion, the balance sheet‘ and relative state- ments are properly drawn up so as to exhibit a true and correct view of the statements oi the Associ- ation's affairs as at July 81st. 1935. according to the best of my information. and the explanations given to me, as shown by the books of the Association."

W. A. MORRELL. (LA.

We have explained to you why our meeting was delayed, and have Elven you the facts concerning our year's operations financially. We are very pleased to be able to meet you today, with the assur- ance that we are in a position, as an Association. to render the best service we know how. to our mem- bers, and the potato and -turnip industry in general,

The Government gave very care.- fui consideration to the appliua. tion of your Directors. that they Elli-Mateo the Bank to the amount 0f $100,000. thereby enabling us to operate and to take care of our creditors. who were kind enough 10 ififmit us to carry on during the past year without embarrass- mem. but such a state of affairs could not continue. Some arrange- ment had l0 be made, whereby our creditors could be paid, other. wise. they would not be satisfied. To collect as assessme it from our membe ship. would have involved 110i only great legal expense, but hardship to many of our members, if they had been compelled to meet this liability. Therefore, as an Association. we are deeply in- debted for the assistance guru-an- teed.

The Directors, in making their Bimeai. did not ask that the gov- eminent should pay these liabili- 1-165. but rather that the account be so guaranteed that as we car. ried on our work from yep; p; your, we would be able, from the pi-Qriis which we might accrue. to reduce our acoounu materially, and ovum. ually clean up the whole account. The government did not pay any lmmeyr-a mistaken idea frequently M5111 eXilicssed by some who do not understand that the Associ- ation is liable to the Bank for all moneys owing. This naturally in- volves the entire membership as at APT". 1934, and we think every member should do his utmostzfio stand back of the Association. c them the opportunity o1 hiuidiiiig his potatoes and turnips, and buy from them the fertilizer and other supplies which the Association dis- tributes. The price paid by the As- sociation is equal to that paid by others who are handling the same commodities.

We have started out this fall do- in! a much larger volume of bus- iness than up to the same date a year ago. We have not only held

the vfififldence of the dealers with whom we have been doing business for a number oi years, but have ex. tended into new markets: and we are in a position to handle a very large volume of both potatoes and tuinips.

We feel that today thc farmers are not receiving the value for the turnips being placed on the mar- ket. It is unfortunate that such d quantity 1s shipped at this partic- ular season of the year. and the shippers are not entirely to blame, With unseasohable weather such as we have lr/in having at the consuming centres for the past month, and the urge to ship on the part of the growers at the produc- ing end. the market becomes most unsatisfactory, and results not only in declining prices, but in a. con- dition that hinders the proper movement oi the supply. If farm- ers would hold back shipping on turnips at this time of the year. when they drop below 15c, and later when they drop below 20c. they could realize this price more easily than 10c and 12c is reallrcd today. Our turnips are of the finest qual- ity going on the New England mar- kets, much superior, we are advised. to those of Ontario, which is our competitor. It is unfortunate that there is no way by which the mar- keting could be controlled.

As regards potatoes. We know that our crop this year is very light, posiibly will not grade sixty per cent of the 1934 crop, and that this is true of other parts of Can- ada; but there is the possibility that we put too much importance on the lizht crop in Prince Edward Island. We should realize that the small quantity we produce in Prince Edward Island. does not in any great measure effect the price of potatoes. in other words. had there been no potatoes in Prince Edward Island in i034. the price would have been just as low as it was in Canada, and the only market we can possibly affect, is the Canadian nurket.

Th¢ United States, while they have a lighter crop than lest year. still have a very great quantity of potatoes available. and when it is taken into consideration that last year millions of bushels of their crop were wasted. dumped 0r used for starch. it is difficult to say just how we can expect very high prices in that country. What I moan by that is. when we pay our duty of 45c a bushel. with the frelghts that we hove, ther, is not very much possibility that the United States will offer us a better paying mar- ket than we have in Canada.

With regard to the Irish Cobbler variety. We know that unless these go for seed, or are shipped now for teblestock, they cannot later be marketed to any advantage ls table- stock. Maine has a very large acre- age of certified Cobblers. She has sold hundreds and hundreds of carlosds of seed, botlh cerptgicd 0mg selected. at I. very ow ca: an
