l?olato Pickers

Fewer From

The iMainlzndy This Season

What has become known as the "potato movement", .the annual transfer of labor from Cape Bret- on. Picwu and other mainland sectors to assist in lifting the Prnce Edward Island tuber crop, is of smaller proportions this year than usual.

According to National Employ- m-ent Office officials in Charlotte- town neither in Prince County- where the biggest potato producers operate-nor in the other two counties has the demand for out- side labor been as high as in other years. Prince County has taken only about three hundred main- land workers as compared to four to six hundred in other seasons, and Kings and Queens Counties combined are getting by with only about fifty imported pickers, con- contrasted with the one hundred to two hundred usually, required.

There are several reasons for the reduced numbers, Employment Office officials explain. The prin- cipal one is that pickers are not as readily available on the mainland as in other seasons, and another curtailing factor is the availability locally of a larger than normal supply of Island pickers.

Indicative of the increase in the number oi local pickers 'twelve iocal men were dispatched to

Prince County by the National Employment Office Charlottetown yesterday when it developed that the Employment Office in sum- merside had unfilled orders for seventy men and that mainland pickers could not be obtained.

The twelve men were in addition to others which had been sent to the Western County previously.

Meantime the Summerside of- fice had also been able to recruit some pickers in its own area, and the shortage was being made up with the help of a few men from Moncton.

The increased willingness of Is- land workers in potato picking is believed due to the increased wag- es being offered. Growers are pay- ing at least four dollars and a half a day plus board. and some farm- ers in the Kinkora district are said to have boosted the wages to as much as six dollars per day.

Because of the favorable wea- ther the lifting of the crop, to the present has been proceeding suc- cessfully, in spite of temporary manpower shortages here and there.

The shortage of men in Prince County said National Employment officials is being met and will mean only a temporary setback for a limited number of farmers.

Former Islander , Enjoys Visit Home

Mr. J. S. MacDonald of Eek- ville. Alberta, who originally went West in 1910 and returned for 9. short visit in 1930 and again in 1044, is enjoying his third trip East as the guest of his sister, Mrs. William I-lallowell at Sprlngton.

In speaking of his early life on the Island, previous to taking up teaching in the West, Mr. MacDon- ald recalled with pleasure having had as his most brilliant pupil I-lls Eminence Cardinal McGulgan. Mr. Macboald was then teaching school at Hunter River.

"I am amazed at the prosperity of the Island during the last ten years," he said. "The beautiful country houses, farm buildings, and the extensive use of motor cars and farm equipment, all indicate a dis- tinct improvement in the lotrof the Island farmer. I am intensely in- terested in all phases of farm life, and particularly dairy cattle rais- ing, which rates very high indeed in this Province. The beef cattle, however, appear to be definitely lagging."

Mr. MacDonald was also much impressed with the improved schools and grounds, and took pleasure in seeing his first school, that of Sprlngton, in the prize list for improvements. He taught there in 1900 on graduating from P. W. C.

Originated Campaign

Mr. MacDonald is credited with being the author of the "save-the- soil" campaign in Alberta which has been a going concern for more than ten years. In 1042 he be- came particularly concerned with the gentle slopes on his farm being so badly cut by gullies that they would probably never be used again. He noticed crops in the area of Red Deer polluted, with weeds, and the wind whipping up clouds of dust from bare summer fallow; soil crumbled to dust un- der pressure of the fingers.

After talking with neighbours a committee of three was set up to

do something about this soil prob-. lem. The farmers for miles around, the Board of Trade and others took up the matter vigor- ousiy,.and a five year plan. map- ped out for the control of weeds, and improved soil fertility, with scoring restricted to soil conserva- tion practices. Two competitions were launched. One was for4.hc "First Year Competition" to be confined to new entrants each year. and the "Progress Competition" which was to be based on improve- ments on the farm from year to year. Further Progress

"Save-the-soil certificates were granted farmers who attained a score of 80 per cent. The Depart- ment of Agriculture took hold of the situation vigorously during the first of the five year planned ef- forts, and representatives were appointed to forward the move- ment.

At present various groups carry on an active educational pro- gramme. It sponsors at least four meetings a year where speakers discuss subjects such as forage crops, livestock and farm imple- men-ts. A field day takes place annually for seeing the elevator load test and variety'test plots, and is followed by a banquet and round table discussion.

A systematic crop sequence has been developed which usually runs 2 years hay, 1 year pasture, 1 year breaking in late spring or early summer and 3 years grain.

Mr. MacDonald has among his prized possessions. a. yellow walk- ing stick which bears'the Inscrip- tion "Presented in 1951 to J. M. MacDonald by Hon. David Ure on behalf of the Government of Al- berta as the originator of the 'save-the-soil' campaigns."
