"In order to fulfill its functions, the Potato Marketing Board must make use of the powers given it by legislation, that is, overall con- trol by central selling." said Mr. Donald A. MacDonald. chairman of the P. E. I. Potato Marketing Board at a meeting called by the Federa- tion of Agriculture in Morell hall last night. The meeting was well attended. Mr. Roland MacDonald. President of the l"ederat.ion pre- sided.

Mr. MacDonald was replying to a question which had been pressed at the meeting regarding the fu- ture plans of the Potato Marketing Board. He made it clear that the opinion expressed wee a personal one and that he was only one member of a board of ten. Mr. MacDonald stated that the Board had tried to operate by not exer- cising overall control but had been circumvented by dealers all along the line. "1 am not an enemy of the dealers," said Mr. MacDonald, "I realise that.they have an im- portant part to play in the potato industry. but it was necessary through rulings of the Board to protect the dealers from one an- other." he added.

Mr. H. B. Willis, speaking both as a producer and a shipper. sharp- ly criticized the Potato Board for their tactics during the 1053-53 season. He said that “due to the dictatorial policies of the Board many of the producers and dealers lost a great deal of money." He did, however. state that the Board had done a good job during the past season and expressed the opinion that it was in capable hands.

Mr. Willis was emphatic in pointing out that the Board had not laid down any plans for the immediate future and cautioned the growers that with the .powers at their disposal the Board could say when and at what price the farmer would sell his potatoes. "Do you want that?" said Mr. Wil- lie. when asked by a grower what he as a dealer intended to offer. Mr. Willis replied that he had nothing to offer but felt that the supply and demand on the potato market would take care of the alt- uation. The grower commented. "How can you expect the Market- ing Board to tell us what they in- tend to do in the future."

Iteviewe Activities

Mr. MacDonald in reviewing the activities of the Potato Marketing Board said, "We have gained. a lot of valuable experience in the past four years. Agriculture is the basis of our economy and the potato market is a fair barometer of fin- ancial conditions in this Prov- ince."

He pointed out that last spring producers throughout Canada and the United States were warned to reduce potato acrceges but 25,000.- 000 acres more were planted in U. 8. end 9.000.000 more in Canada. It was thought that an early blight which seemed to be preval-

. _ nt. in the crop would lessen the

there are 1.000 more to go. when questioned as to "the number oi cars he thought would be dumped this season." Mr. Mac- Donald said that he did not fore- see any dumping. Questioned fur-

ther regarding New Brunswick dealers‘ underselling the Island market, Mr. MacDonald replied

that he had only yesterday sold 125 cars for 90 cis. in Montreal while N. B. potatoes had been sold the day before for 05 cts.

This last statement caused con- siderable stir in the meeting when Mr. Linus Rossiter of Charlotte- town said "I disbelieve that state- ment". Mr. MacDonald took grave exception to this assertion and challenged the speaker come to his office on the folio ing morn- ing and be furnished with proof. Mr. Rossite/r finally retracted his remarks.

The Board chairman explained to the meeting why there was some delay in issuing cheques last fall. He pointed out that the of- nce stall which had been assemb- led on abort notice, had little ex- perience and the amount of work increased rapidly from 13 cars a day at first to 100 care a. day a week later. “Under such condit- ions." aaid Mr. MacDonald, “it was impossible to cope with the volume of business they were called upon to handle."

He said that 82 boats carrying from 5.000 bags to 120.000 bags had left this Province last (all.

Mr. MacDonald noted the exten- sive advertising campaign under- taken throughout many of the American States and stated that it was largely through this cam- paign that Island potatoes found such a ready market in the South- ern States last season. He made reference also to the advertising booth which was maintained at the Royal Winter Fair at Tor- onto.

Competlllve rates through negotiations with the railway as well as freight rate zoning were other benefits point- ed out by Mr. MacDonald. He concluded his renmrks by saying “As long as I remain head of the Board my one and honest deslrc wiil be to serve you."

Mr. Roland MacDonald. presi- dent of the Federation of Agricul- ture outlined the purpose of the meeting which was to explain matters relating to the Potato Marketing Board. previous to the plebiscite to be held on May 24- 29

"The Potato Marketing Board is not conducting this plebiscite." said Mr. R. MacDonald. "neither is the Federation of Agriculture. but it is being conducted by the Provincial Marketing Board." He asked for a good hearing for all speakers and urged all present to take part in the discussions.

Mr. Lincoln Dewar. secretary of the Federation of Agriculture in ii few brief remarks urged the grow- ers to obtain membership in the Federation and pointed out what collective bargaining can do in preference to individual negotia- tion. He told the meeting oi’ an accident insurance plan available to members at it low cost.

Pavement From Souris To Wood islands Discussed By Montague Trade Board

..'Mr. R. K: Clements was re- elected pruldent of the King’: County Board of Trade at e din- ner meeting held at the Bison Restaurant, Montague, lest even- ing. Other officers include vice- president, John A. MacDonald, Cardigan; secretary, Ralph Beck. Montague; executive. Leslie Hun- ter, Bridgetown; Criily Lea. Mur- ray Harbour; Murdock McGowan. Kilmuir; George Maclntyre; E. H. Stewart, D.I-I. Coffin, Horace Fras- er, John Baliem, L. H. Poole, all of Montague.

Following a delicious lobster sup- per, a short business meeting was held. Mr. C. A. Shaw, secretary, gave an intcesting account of the meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade which he attended at Syd- ney. N. 3.

A nominating committee includ- ing Ethan Stewart, C. A. Bhaw, end George Maclntyre was ap- pointed to bring in a slate of onl- cers for the coming year.

An interesting and lively discus- sion period foilowed the election of officers, during which several important matters were discussed.

Of primary importance was a conecting pavement between souria and the Wood Island ferry termi- nal through King's County. It was considered that this was a major factor in the future economic de- velopment of King's County, and required serious consideration. It was felt that inasmuch as the Trans Canada Highway did not enter King's, the country should rightfully be compensated by a direct route from the northern section of the country to the ferry terminal, and further, because I. portion of this route was already paved, it was considered not to be a. major task to complete the re- mainder.

Winter Service

some discussion also centered on a winter ferry service from Georgetown to Pictou, and the ad- vantages of such a service were Pointed out, particularly for trade with Nova Scotia. It was decided that negotiations on this matter

would be re-opened in an .1- tempt. to acquire this service. It was pointed out that the

Montague bridge was a vital com- munication link within the county, and it was feared that the appar- ent delay in proceeding with the completion of the approaches would be the cause of serious hardships later in the year.

It was proposed that the gov. ernment be requested to expedite this matter insofar as existing conditions might make it possible. In reference to the bridge con. structlon, but a matter purely of a local nature, the idea of a dam spanning the river to retain aleyel of water in the basin above, was given consideration, It was explain. ed that at low tide the mud. flats

mince

above the bridge were not at all conducive to beautification, and that the condition could be over- come by the erection of a dam to the east of the bridge of a height sufficient to retain en- ough water in the basin to.cover the flats, thereby immensely im- proving tbc beauty of the area.

Of a local nature also was the proposal to plant trees along the sides of the main roads leading into Montague, which, because of its many trees along the main thoroughfare and side streets, is considered as “Montague, the beautiful". It was felt that the planting of these trees, English hawthorn, flowering cherry, and flowering crab, would add im- measurably to the already lovely picture and meke the town a cen- tre of attraction. It was proposed that this matter be given immedi- ate consideration.

In view of the fact that of late years there has been considerable see. transportation in King's Coun- ty. it was Proposed that negotia- tions be made to have the Cardig- en River dredged for ses—going vessels. It was considered that this was is possible important call port for vessels and every endeavor should be made to increase its po- tentiaiities.

At the conclusion of the meet- ing it was moved to hold quarter- snnual dinner meetings.

On motion e vote of thanks was extended Mrs. Clay for the lovely supper, and for the use of the din- mg room for the meeting.
