The Milk Subsidy

Our farmers are all at sea wiih regard to the

imcntious of Ibe Wartime Pric

cs and 'l‘1'ade

Board in the matter of milk subsidy payments. A few days ago i was announced that the sub- sidy paid to producers last winter and which was (liscominucd on April 30, would be restor-

ed "c111 an even more

satisfactory basis," com-

mencing Sept. l. Accompanying this announce- ment, however, was listed the markets in which

the subsidy was payable, and this no Prince Edward Island centre

list contained except Char-

lnflctown. Last year a subsidy of 3o cents pcr

I00 lbs. was paid on fluid

milk deliveries to

practically every centre in the Province, includ-

ing Tignish, Alberton, O'Leary, Summerside, Victoria, Sf.

Tyne Valley,

Eleanors, Kcnsing-

ton, Borden, Rustico, Hunter River, Xlorvll, St.

Pctcrs, Cardigan, Georgeown,

Montague and

Souris. What is the status of these centres fo- day with regard to the milk bonus?

In a. statement issued on Aug. officials announced:

is in addi-

or 1l1rcc centres in Canada. where

that it is combined in this issue in order that its purport may be of record and help."

There follows an interesting sketch of the Island, coupled with a summary of present con- ditions. Emphasis is placed by Premier Camp- bell on our agricultural activity. "It is estimat- ed," 11c writes, "that there are one 1110115111111 l1crd of cattle on the Island now, divided bctwccn the beef cattle and dairy cattle. This year, r942, in the inonfh of August reliable Government of- ficials state that over forty thousand young hogs are being fed for market to augment the supply of bacon for Britain. Ovcr one-half million chickens are being raised on Prince Edward Is- land this year, and Island poultry products - believe it or nob-stand highest in all of Canada from a quality standpoint. Silver fox farming, while nor as flmrrishing as it was a fcw years ago, is still a source of revenue to the Province. Oyster farming is rapidly becoming quite a large business, and the gathering of Irish moss is providing for fishermen a. splendid source of ad- ditional revenue. A large oil company from the United States has secured the oil boring rights for the Province and is busy at work in- vestigating the possibilities of discovering oil or natural gas and, judging by the energy being put into this matter, it would seem that those in charge are at least fairly hopeful of good rc- suits.”

Reference is also made to seed potato and fur- nip production, to the rigid inspection of all agri- cultural products exported, and to the IS- lnud's tourist advantages.

On the vexed question of transportation, the Premier touches tenderly. "One of the reasons," he recalls, “why there was a delay in Prince Edward Island becoming a full-fledged member (of Coufcdcration) was the fact that the pcoplc of the Province refused to sign up umil they had a definite promise of regular and coutirluous communication. both summer and winter. be- tween the Island and the mainland. For a. numbcr of years after Confederation ibis pronlisc was only partially implemented, but siucc I111," communication has been much more ccrtniu r1111‘- ing the winter months, as, at that time, the rail- way gauge was widened to standard width, and a large train-carrying carfcrry built iu Scotland was put on the service bciwccu Borden, l".
