`Prince County is inmany respects the most remarkable in all Canada.
in a province, which has so wel; earned the name of “The Gnrden,'n
the (_)uif," Prince County stands out p e-eminent. lt_is easily for its _size the mont productiveagrioultural sec". ~tion of all Canada. It contains with- in its borders these townships which are the highest valued in all the- pro- vince. _The science ol agriculture, generally speaking, is more universal- ly applied in the cultivation of the soil than elsewhere in the province. Practically all our farmers are prog- resolve irr` most respects. It is helge that the Canadian Seed Growers' As- sociation have received an initial push and` an inspiration which has mad‘e for u marvelous improvement along the lines of good .seed all over Canada- one of the very most important ele- ments of successful agriculture.
The soil oi the county is remark-
able not only tor its fertility but for the easy way in which it can be till- erl.--a rich, sandy loam of a deep red color, which it just sticky enough to prevent. the pulverescent soil from being disturbed by heavy winds, but so soft and friable that the women and' children- actually dig the potatoes with their lender lingers, after their being simply ploughed out. Generally speaking, the soil is deep. which makes it ‘ideal -for the growth of fruits and vegetables. Flowers and foliage grow luxuriantly. The average yield
.roi 'thaicountyi is'-greater than that of
any other part of Canada not only be- cuse of the unique natural conditions outlined abov_e,- but because the gen- eral run of farmers -use better' seed than elsewhere in the Maritime Pro- vinces. as far as the writer knows. except, perhaps, Colchester County, N. S. Ad'd‘ed to the generous soil, the scientific farming, and the example of progressive neighbors, our climatic' conditions are especially favorable, as even the small distance between tire- east end of the Island and the west end of the Island there is a very considerable modification in climate
both in winter and summer. as. may be seen by referring t_o the lsotlre - mal chart issued' by the meteorlogical department. To make a long story short, this county is almost ideal from an agrlcllitural standpoint. The hulk oi’ the county has natural drain- ‘age in a porous sub-soil underlaln by a porous red sandstone rock. There are some parts with a heavy clay sub-soil almost impervious to water where artificial drainage would make ‘rr nrarvaillous improvement, but of this we wiill speak below.
During the past year, which has
been n fairly favorable one, an lm- mense crop of potatoes, vegetables and grain has been produced and' with the high prices ruling the county would' have surpassed all previous re- cords 'of -prosperity but for the one essential drawback oi' want of trans- portation facilities. As early as the 25th day of September, (let me em- phasize not October, not November. but on the 25th day of 8eptember,) the good old steamer Northumberland was unable to' transport the freight. principally potatoes, offered' her and' left behind on that day 25 carloads _of freight above her capacity, and' from that day' forward, until the great In- tercolonlal system on the mainland was 'completely blocked for want."-of cars, every day were left beihind,_not 25 carloads; but _hundreds of car-loads, and before-the 10th of November, tex- cept the box carloads discharged in- to the steamers and vessels on any given day.) every box car in the' prov- _irlqn stood leaded either in me ruli- way yards at the ports of export or along the line of railroadj. The local railway authorities made every effort to cope with the conditions, and did wonderfully good work, but about this time the lntercolonial railroad at Plc- tou and Point du (ihene was quite unable to take care of the traillc with tha result that very heavy losses and inconveniences fell to the lot ofthe shippers, notwithstanding wl'\ich,_ how- ever, the county re-sped' airiich reward for the labor of its people._,_.-This -art-_ icle would' be too long togofirrto de- tail regarding the business of-the past year, which cannot be consider-ed; now that the end is in sig~l\=t.'_as-any- thing but profitable. _ _ ` ,. _‘
Regarding the coming yearihe prdl
spects are marvellously bright. High prices are likely to obtain, at lea`st, for some time to come because of_'t-he fact that so many people are away from the land; from the fact that notwithstanding the declination of the armies on the battlefields' of Eur~ ops. the populations of the world are still increasing and' every when the farmers awake, are tems of thousands be fed.
