Orders for warble (iy powder are stlll.eoming into the office and whilethe material has not srrived .yet, it will be here in plenty ,1 itlme. Warbles do not seem to be appeari... as early as usual this year and it is not ad- visable to treat cattle until the lumps develop on the back. It would seem that likely around the 10th of April would be a good time for the first treatment

with the second application about May 1st. Stai-ch subsidy Details of air agreement be-

tween Maritime potato interelil and the Dominion Government. covering a .subsidy to be paid on potatoes used in the manufacture of starch are now being consider- ad. It isprobabie that the price on starch potatoes will be on me cm-gwuh p present minimum potato board prices.

Individual farmers should not assume that they will be able to dispose of large quantities to the starch factories when and if the agreement is worked out. The chief value in this plan would consist in removing approxi- mately one thousand carloads in New Brunswick and Prince Ed- ward Island from the market and thus assisting in bringing sup- plies more nearly in line with potential market demand for the balance of the season.

Based on last year's movement from the present time till the middle of June there would ap- pear to be a reasonable prospect of disposing of Prince Edward Island potatoes now on hand. provided tlrd!-;.potatoes are offer- ed to supply -. demands as they arise. '

Women's Institutes

une of the most active organ- izations affillated with the P. E. I. Federation of Agriculture is the P. E. I. Womens' Institutes-. it is perhaps impossible to over- estimate the value of the ,work done by t h i s organization through improvements in rural educational facilities. provision of rural leadership. improvement of living standards and through co- operation with other groups in social welfare work.

We feel that the women have an organization that has a just claim to being one of the most valuable in this Province.

FARM FORUIII

The Farm Forum season came to a close on March 26th which of course. does not necessarily mean that the activities of these groups cease for the summer months. There is ample scope for the energies of such groups in promoting community improve- ment In such matters as rural beautification. recreation facili- ties, school improvement. Dl'0V!l' ion of electric lights. and the

promotion of improved farming practices. Seed Grain Cleaning

Last year's seed grain survey indicated that everything was not as it should have been in this important matter. some of the trouble can be charged to the fact that in many cases this job is left to the last moment. and the operators of seed cleaning plants are rushed to such an ex- tent that ihey are unable to do the best work.

An effort on the part of farm- ers to have such seed cleaning done well in advance of seeding would appear to be a sound pol-

icy to follow. Cheap Nitrogen

This week's snowfall will prove adv ntagcous for a number of reasons. among them being: nit- rogen made available to stimulate grasses and clovers: protection of meadows from night frosts and in additional moisture ated in the soil.

O For caioes that are deliciously tender to the very last crumb, always run to be good, expert cake makers everywhere have learned to depend on

. Swans Down Cake Flour. They know expensive cake ingredients should not be risked-they get the satisfying results they want for all their baking when they use Swans Down.

This was linger

At this time of the year the sewing of fuel supplies will be under way on thousands of Is- land farms and associated with thev work will be the usual per- centage of mangled hands and d fingers. The circular

saw is a very dangerous imple- ment and every care should be exercised in its operation. Acci- dents do not just happen. They are usually caused. Beware the buzz saw.

Membership Campaign

Out of last year's total .mem- bership. approximately 25 per cent of farmers joining the Fed- eration, paid their dues in cash. Plans are now being made to in- itiate for the renewal of these memberships. During the month of April, steps will be taken to contact district secretaries and members who paid in cash last year. -,

Farm Forum Conference

On June 14th. 15th and 16th the National Farm Forum Con- ference will be held at Amherst. Nova Scotla. This Conference will

be attended by representatives and delegates from all over Can- ada.

The proximity of the Confer- ence will provide interested Mari- time people an opportunity of observing and taking part in dis- cussion on National Forum. in the field of Adult Education. Na- tional Farm Forum is recognized as an outstanding educational project.

Dairying

The price of butter has changed greatly in two of the Maritime Province-s last week. It is report- ed that some butter coming on the Nova Scotla markets from points West. either Montreal or Toronto, has influenced the price to a great extent. An upward adjustment of about 5c per pound has resulted and the factory price f.o.b. Halifax today is quoted at 73c wit.h local jobiblnvg at 75c.

The Montreal price for No. 1 solids delivered is now quoted at 85: per pound.

in Toronto the price of 78c to 80c is quoted, which is now below that of Montreal. It is understood that fresh made butter coming from the West is beginning 1.;

-gradual dcoiinc may be expected on that market which will event- ually affect other markets as well.

In New Brunswick there has been no chan-ge from last week's quotations. The reasons given there are that the extremely high price for butter could not now greatly eiifect production and might create a bad consumer re- action over an indefinite period of time.

Furthermore. if a. floor price were established for butter at 620 per pound. as requested ,by the Dairy Farmers of Canada. the lower price would discourage pru- ducers later in the season if ad- justment were made to higher price levels at present. New Brunswick creamery butter prices, therefore. continue the some last week. which are as follows: Creacmeries to wholesalers, one and two pound fists-68 1-2c; and two pound flats-70c. wholesalers to retail stores. one

market has created the necessity for a similar one in this Province. otherwise our butter. wisich is now in very short supply. would be exported to points where the higher prices prevail. Hence the increase during the past week is for the punpose of countering the price already established in the province of Nova Scotia and hold- ing our present inadequate pro- duction supply within our own Province. The price, therefore, at present on the Charlottetown mar- ket is quoted at '13 1-2:: delivered Charlottetown. with local jolrblng at 75c.

It is shown from anrrus-l figures that butter production is at its h-ivghcst point in this Province be- tween the with and 15th of July every year and at its lowest point about the 20th of March. Now that we are approaching the first of April our output will be grad- ually increasing. A greater sup- ply may be expected shortly a'l-

though our production at. the present is at a very low point. For the week ending March 17th the pounds man-ufactured were .29,dl0 as compared with 41,112 for ithe same week last year; a de- crease of 27.0 per cent. '

Feeds

On the feed markets No. 1 feed barley has sprung up again and is now 33.37 in bulk, cariot ship- ments. with quotations for May approximately the same. No. 1 feed oats up to the last of May is quoted at 33.06 1-2, which has eased off slightly, but No. 5 wheat has gone up to S115 and is hard to get. Bran and shorts range from 352.00 to 358.00 per ton delivered for the first half of April with middiings up to 558.80. There is no change in oilimeai prices. and in any event it is entirely too high.

Potatoes

The potato market is dull but the movement is a little heavier this week. The general price is .the minimum set by the l3os.rd- 555c for a bag of tablestock and I-10c to 50c per bushel for seed ac-

cording to variety.

At Kensington

At Colviile and Wiilshire-44c -50c per bus. for seed.

At Charlottetown - Fair move- ment in tablesiook at 55c. Very little ibus. Turnips slow at -10c.

At Vernon River-55c per -bag for tabiestook. Turnips 40c.

No movement at Cardigan. .

At Elmira - Katahdins 44c per bushel with Cobblers 50c. Table- ! stock 55c. . I United States reports indicate a 'reduction in acreage for the pre- ;sent year of 15 per cent which is : 30 per cent below the ten year average. This, under normal con- ditions however, should produce a sunplua of 10 per cent which would again mean -bad prices. There is no life to the market anywhere and the seed demand is kept in check by bad weather in the South. Thcre is the possibility of a pick-up in demand based on weather improvement.

There is still the possibility of a good spring market but it has to have a pep injection very quickly if it is to be worth any- thing. Potatoes in Maine are going to the dump and to staroh factor-
