inthe Province of a Prince Edward Island . _

Owing to unavoidable circumst~ mucus, the following paper by Mr (l. PurtridgeChief Potato Inspector, was not read at the tneetlttg of the Potato Growers’ Association at Charlottetown during Farmers‘ Week. '

Although I was very pleased to

receive an invitation to address you at your annual meeting. I must confess. that at first I felt some- what at a loss to arrive at a decl- sion as to ho\v far you are infornr ed with regard to the details of tht- potato inspection and certification work which has been conducted in this province since I915. l linw- ever, came to the conclusion that it might be assumed, since the work has been in progress for a uttmber of years under thesupervision of one of the most experienced and efficient members of the inspection staff, and that a marked interest is being evinced on the partaof the potato growers in its application, particularly since the formation of your Association. which has done so much to secure reliable markets for certified seed potatoes, that you ‘are all now fairly well informed with regard to our side of the work which we have sought to bring in- 40, effective co-operation .with the effortsiwhich your Association is putting forth in the interests of cer- tified seed potato production.

However, as it is often claimed that we cannot have too much 0t a good thing, and as suppose we are prepared to claim that t-he particul~ ar line of work werare engaged in is a good thing, it may not be ottt of place here to briefly recapitul» ate for the benefit of those who may have only recently taken up the production of certified seed pot- atoes, some particulars with regard

, to the results obtained during the past four years.

First of all. it may be said that

Last. but not least. l 118' sire to compliment you Sir. the Secretary, and the directorate of your Association upon the efficient and business-like manner in which you have assisted the EPOWQTB in obtaining and establishing markets for certified seed potatoes produc- ed on the Island. anti upon the whole-hearted manner in which you have co-operated with the Inspec- tion servlce, for l think we are all agreed thatfwhile the service is a vital part of the machinery in the certified seed work. yet it has its limits and, after all, it would be un- able to function to the best advant- age if after a quantity of clean.

produced, no market for its con- sumption were available. Here then is the point at which an organ- ization such as yours plays a role and a most important role and, in my opinion, great credit is due you and your officers for the attainment of such eminently satisfactory re» suits as are set forth in the state- ment of the Secretary to whichwa have had the pleasure of listening today, ' . Now with regard to our part of the work in certified seed potatoes: during the past four years a largo and increasing amount of this work has been done in Prince Edward ls- land. and I have here a few figures which will perhaps throw emphasis upon the point I wish to make. viz. that the cooperative efforts of the

the Potato Growers’ Association. have met with unqualified success‘.

In the year 1920,, 886 acres of pot- atoes were inspected in Prince Ed- ward Islund, and of this number. 523 acres passed field inspection

‘Measuring Bilsséts In a Bin

Here is a, good rule for determitr ing the number of bushels in a bin:

FOR A RECTANGULAR BIN- Mllllillly ' tozether the length breadth and depth. each in feet, and multiply this product by 0.8, the number of bushels in a cubic foot. The result is the number of bush- 5015. Example: What is ‘the capacity in bushels of n bin 6 fer-t wide, 8 jfeet long and 3 feet deep? Solution: 6 times S tithes litlmes v.8 equal 115.2 bushels. ,

FOR A CIRCULAR BlN-lllttl tiply the square of the diameter by the depth, all in feet. and multiply this product by fiveeigtlis. The re~ suit is the number of bushels. Ex- ample: I-low many bushels in a bin whose diameter is 42 inches and whose depth is 4 feet? Solution: 42 inches equal 3%- feet. Squaring 31/, equals 12%. Now: 121,4 times 4 times 9t; equals 30.6 bushels.
