The detailed sections of botn communiques told of fierce fight. ing at many points. Bitter hand- to-hand encounters. heavy tank battles. hrtilier engagements and stubborn guerllla fighting were reported from various sectors. The Russians were reported fre- quently on the offensive with counter thrusts which compelled the invaders to fail back.

In one sector the Russians re- ported coming upon a German tan-k battalion near s village "X" in which the lrvadcrs’ tanks were buried in the ground up to their turrets "and ured by the Geiman command as stationary guns em- placements."

It would l” uwflwy to grade this price on s Winnipeg basis; Toronto would b! h18her and Montreal also, be- muse of freight rates. The price in this Msritimes should have some relationship with that of Montreal.

"If we could establish a price for the products you e511 whim would make it possible for you to buy. at a satisfactory price, feed grain else- where, it would be a simple matter to deal with," Mr. Gardiner declar- ed. To do this it would be neces- sary to peg the prices of other pro- ducts.

He said that it might not be pos- sible to continue the some regula- tions after the war. These same regulations couldn't be dreamed of four years ago. He also referred to the recent $3. reduction in the price of mill feeds.

The Minister of Agriculture stat- ed that in his opinion it would be

HOD. W. H. Dennis, Prov’ncial Minister of Agriculture. presided at the meeting held in the Assem- bly Chamber and when it opened, at. four o'clock, he called on Mr. Gardiner to speak.

The Federal Minister explained that, at present the department was negotiating with Great Britain for Ihe shipment of farm products to that country. In i939, the Mother Country had taken bacon, in i940 cheese, and now eggs. from Can- ada. There is also an understand- ing that other products will also be taken

Increased Need

At present the amount of agri- cultural products to be slipped there for the coming year is under consideration. In the past it has been difficult to give advance ln- formation to the farmers or Gov- ernments but now, after two years of war, Britain hfls a better idea ,cf the need. That country wants |600.000.000 pounds of Wiltshire I s'des, Mr. Gardiner told the farm-

requiremenfs of the Mother Coun- try for the coming year commenc- ing October 1.

Continuing, he told of provisions in the contract whereby Britain agreed to increase the price when this was warranted. He was of the opinion flat the price was reason- able during the first year of the war but earl‘er this year there was some criticism in this regard. Now that Britain has offered to increase the price there was more satisfac- tion. However, before closing the a- greement, he wlshed to visit the Maritime Provinces to see what bearing the production here would have on the requirements.

He then spoke of the difficulties ulilch might be met by an increas- ed production in pork products. Re- minding them Frt very little feed grain was exported from Canada before the war, he said the farmers could realize that it might be s dilf‘cult problem to obtain enough to raise hogs. The feed grain crop in western Canada is not good th's year and in Ontario the coarse grain crop is down 25 per cent. Quebec is situated somewhat sim- ilarly. In the Maritime: the crop ls good but acreage is not so great. The speaker doubted the possibil- ity of arranging the distribution of this feed to obtain the necessary production of cheese and 11085- Great Britain needs 111000.000 pounds of cheese this year and will take any surplus butter that

a mistake for farmers to go in for production in a big way if this could not be continued after the war- unless it was something they could get into and out of without much expense. “It occurs to me that you could produce a much larger num- ber of hogs here." he added. Pi-‘nce Edward Island was down 2600 hogs in the first six months of this year as compared with the same period of last year. This might be due to dissatisfaction over the prici or it might be caused by the hlgu cost of feeding. Hogs can be finished with wheat and there is so much of this in Canada it is not likely r the price will go up. He told the ' farmers they were safe in getting Into hogs in a big way as Britain is ready to take all Canada can give. It is also cheap to get inro and cheap to get out of.

Mr. J. J. Trainer

Mr. J. J. Tralnor, Vice President of the P. E. I. Federation of Agri- culture, stated that "agriculture in this province is in a very bad way." He added that this was solely an agricultural province yet it was in a depressed condition despite fie assstance given by the Federal and. Provincial Government. However, the marketing end of the farming:

purchased at o. price which permits Il- 1108s sold to Montreal are done so minus the freight there, but feed is brought here plus the freight, from that place.

The Deputy Minister referred to the large amount of feed in the west and asked why it i; that bin; in this part of Canada are empty. "This is e challenge to all 1mm brbduwa." he added. There must b0 80010 Plan to have this surplus grain moved that would be bene- ficial to farmers here and in the west. He spoke of the need for fa- cilities in this province to store grain. This would be "a tremendous asset in supporting the policy of increased production." The god“. a1 Government is spending money for the storage of western grain, does it make any difference where the storage is? Why not provide for this in the Msritimes? It need not be an elaborate grain elevator, lze said. but could be a shed type building that could be also ‘ills- ed for potato storage.

Mr. J. A. Gllllel

Mr. J. A. Gillies, Manager of the P.E_.I. (Io-operative Livestock As. SCC-Bflfln. stated that the same conditions existed before the wgr us do now and methods in use to meet the emergency now should not be wiped out after. He did not see any cause for worrying about the difference of prices between here and Montreal if permissbn was Efflnled “to handle the situation ourselves." He referred to the re- cent Marketing scheme which was declared ultra vires in the Su- preme Court iris week. This “tied Th8 hands" 0f the Provincial Gov- ernment and the Federal Govern- ment could assist by making it p05. sbic for them to pass this leg- lslation.

He declared he was "not a strong believe!‘ in m8 Pegging of prices“ but was "a strong believer in per. mitting the prcducertc handle his own affairs." Referring to the feed situation here. he declared this province would never" produce the amount of grain necessary for the reqwrements of production."

He claimed if feed could be b-"Ougl t into this province when it was advantageous to buy and then stored. this would be of great g5_ sistance. Th3 importation of feed is absolutely necesary. He did not think the lowering of the price of "1111 few-s was felt here nor was there any change noticed when the price of hugs advanced one dollar last week. Some system of follovv- up is necessary in this direction.

Mr. Donald MacDonald

business was being "absolutely neg- lected" by both Governments.

Referring to the visit of an Is- land de’egation to Ottawa last fall asking for assistance in the mar- ke"mz of pctatoes, he charged that nothing was accomplished. D:spite the fact that apple growers had been helped. the Island farmers. who are producing potatoes for less than the cost of production. were not g'ven any assistance. He cited the need for scmeIPlng to brim about the orderly marketing of farm products here.

Mr. Allison Profltt

Mr. Allison Profitt, Freetown, re- ferred to the isolated position of the Island. He hoped the regula- tions now being put Into force. would continue after the war. The speaker complained that it was almost imposslbleto buy fish meal and 0'1 cake from the mills in the Maritimes. This results in the far- mers being "sowed up" for pro

tein which is necessary. He could not understand why the price oi pork in ilte Maritlmes, when mast of it is consumed here, is based on the Montreal price. He suggested zoning. Mr. Profiti; also complained about the $3.25 cut on hogs of 1B6- 205 pounds. Mr. Gardiner about eight months ago, had asked that the production be cut down. he re- called.

Mr. W. B. Show Mr. W. 1i. Show, Provincial Dep-

uty Minister of Agriculture, stated that the feed problem 119W W88

Can Deliver

"we are in s position to deliver to Britain, with the present Nitric- tions on hogs to the United states. Wlltshire sides and also the neces- sary cheese." Mr. Gardiner stated. He added that it was remarkable how the farmers have produced more of every product Britain needs-more in the first six month-l of this year than in the first sIX months of last $0M‘-

"causing grave concern” There must. be some control on the ele- merits that go into production. He questioned whether the t3. reduc- tion in mill feeds had reached the fsrn-iers on the Island and charged that sometimes these things never got back to the primary producer. This province cannot go beyond a certain acreage in growing leed grain and alter this is Nlfihfli there is still a shortage.

Mr. Shaw reminded Mr. Gardin- er that conditions have changed since i916. ‘the productivity of Is- land forms is less now and rehabil- itation of these is ecessB-ry. More livestock is needed but th‘: can- not bo obtained until feeds can be _

ed "milling in transit" and charg- ed it was unfair to the producers here. Mr. Jones also r quested Mr. Gardiner to get his research men to discover, if possible, some lur- ther uses for potato starch which would be beneficial to this province. This would result in a tremendous market for Island potatoes.

see revived the practice of using mussel mud for fertilizer on Island farms. Years ago this was used ex- tensively. It is an "extremely vai- uable" fertilizer but of late W!" has not been used to any extent. There isstill plenty of it here and the Federal Department might em- ploy some sort of dredge for dig- ging it. He complained of the high prices charged for trucks carrymg produce on the Borden ferry and

Mr. Donald MacDonald, Glen. finnan, charged that Island farmers were trying to produce under try. ing circumstances. He spoke of the opportunity for poultry production 710W that eggs are necessary in Great Britain. But the difl"cul‘y a- gain in this is the nigh price of feeds which ls advancing all the time. Another drawback the Is- land has suffered is the lack cf Sllllfllllg facllifies to convey their produce to Newfoundland and oth- er markets.

Mr. Lincoln Dewar

Mr. Lincoln Dewar. New Perth. said that any lack in production in the Maritirries was not due to Prince Edward Island and a bian- ket policy for these provinces would result in unfairness to producers
