SOUNDS A NOTE OF WARNING.

T the banquet of the Co-operu- tive Egg & Poultry Association, Mr. J. 0. llyndman, President of the Prince Edward Island Associat- ed Boards of Trade, in the course of his remarks, sounded a note of warning us to the danger of over- doing the seed potato lndustry,anii suggested that it would be a good thing for the Potato Gowers them- selves, as well as in the interest of the other agricultural industries. such as poultry, dairylng and hug raising, if tho growers could agree among themselves to control the acreage that should be planted for seed potatoes. ' li the demand for Island seed in 1927 should be for, say, one and one- half million bushels, it would be

greatly in the interest of the lndus- ‘ try to have the production as near _

that mark as possible, rather than a million or two million bushels in excess. With a big surplus of seed it is bound to have a serious effect on the average price realized, and at the same time, the other branches of Agriculture are liable to be neglected, with an excess acre- age of potatoes that require ‘careful experienced cultivation. wiuT-JHYIIRIIIIII suggested that; a varyi- good plan to curtail production woiild be for ditch farmer to plant that»; three acres of wheat, as the which potatoes have been la in ideal condition for the [rowing of wheat. If every farmer ill Prince Edward island grew ani- flcfent wheat for his own use, this would retain, in Prince Edward maud, upwards of a million dollars, ll now sent to Central and Wiltern Canada for flour.

of farm produce seems to have been somewhat lessened here in recent years. . Not

long ago many farmers in Prince Edward island took the greatest possible interest in the breeding and rearing of horses; and the pro- vince was famed for the excellence of the horses kept and’ sold by them. But lately interest has cen- tereil in other lines oi farm produc- tion.

That horses oi the best kinds ought to be obtained, and newyand improved strains of blood introduc- ed from time to time is, of course, to be admitted. But to import horses for ordinary farm work and carriage driving is not good econo- my on the part oi the farmers of this Island, at large. That was a good resolution oi the Central Farm- are’ institute which reads: “Resolv- ed. that we, as farmers, encourage the-breeding of horses as far as possible." We hope that it will be borne in nrlnd and acted upon.

The great trouble with the world is not that we don't know better, put that we don't do as well as we know. There are few indeed who do not know that stealing, drunk- enness. scandal and our other occa- sional weaknesses are wrong, but many flnd it more to their liking to do the wrong. I

means overlooked by the Com- mission, but that the recommends-i‘ tions affecting this Province are, quite as important as those which deal with Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are to the people of those provinces.

Premier King has been iii and returns wholly recovered, it is said. All will be pleased to learn that he has recovered and is at his post again and presumably ready to take action upon the IDuncnn Report. And iMr. iMcLean of iPriuce County has given notice of a. motion which squlnts in the direction of reciprocity in farm products, lumber and fish. This is a side issue and may embarrass the con- sideration of the most important recommendations of the ‘Duncan iiteport which are all important to the lttiantic iProvinces. it ls"hard to see how the injection of this subject at this time can be of any benefit to the Maritime cause.

Reciprocity with the State: is a large proposition quite his enough to be considered by itself as was shown when the Laurier Govern- ment was defeated on that issue years ago. iMr. McLean no doubt as a supporter of the iKing Govern. ment ,is fully aware of what the Government intends to do andhow far they are prepared to go in giving effect to the Maritime Com- missions recommendations. The motion of which he has given notice may even ‘be a part of the Government's plan of dealing with -the Maritime case.

‘The Fear of ‘Experience-How can our literature ‘be anything but impotent? It is inevitably so. since it springs from a national mind that has been sealed against that experience from which litera- ture deriiveis all its values. . I open. ‘for instance. one of our so- called better-class magazines, and fall upon a reported interview in which a well-known. popular poet expatiates on his craft. ‘lModern life," he tells us, "is full of pro- biems, complex and difficult, and -the man ‘who concentrates his mind on his problems al-l day doesn't want to concentrate it on tediously obscure poetry at night, T116 "QWBDBDQP poets are forever
