Farmers Discuss

About to farmers last night 81- tended a meeting at Birch Court to consider the advisability of start- ing a meat processing and killing plant in Charlottetown. Mr. An- drew Stevenson. of Fredericton. President of the Farmers' Abal- toir Co. Ltd presided.

Present at the meeting was Mr. J.H. Siddail of New oiasgow. NS- who proposes with his two sons to acquire 50 per cent of the common stock in the new compan)'- MF- Siddall said he wanted in m0Ve from New Glasgow to Charlotte- town because of lack of livestock in his area and because he In- tends to enlarge his plant. This coupled with the fact that P.E.l. is the centre of beef and DUFF VV9” his chief reasons for making ll” l proposed move.

Mr. Siddail said he had noglears about getting enough material to keep the plant running. He pointed out that he is now processing about 250 head of various animals a week and would hope to double that amount if he came to the Island. NEED FARMERS' SUPPORT

He felt competition would be a good thing for the industry on the Island. He said he must have the support of the farmers' if he was to make the plant go. He told them however that he was going to make I move somewhere and if it was not here it would be some place else.

WET HAY

Prince Edward Island is once again living up to its reputation of being I good place in which to grow hay but a difficult one in which to make it. The week of July 16 was showery. very little real progress was made and much hay was damaged. The present week opened with rain and hay which had been cut on Saturday and would have been cured by Monday morning will not be a very good sample. Monday morn- ing also saw very large quantities of bales lying in the fields after a rush job on Saturday afternoon. While those who are experienced in baling operation assure us that rain and bales go together very well we have never been entirely convinced. Our attitude is that if hay is fit for bsling it is fit to store and should be as quickly as possible.

A wet hay making is I very try- lug operation for the farmer and is often I very costly one as well in terms of lost labour and low qual-

ity feed. THE FARMERJS SHARE

Every tamer of course knows that there is I spread between what he gets for the product and what the consumer pays. How- ever, he may not be aware of the extent of variation in this spread from year to year and between different products. which require additional proces- sing and 'storage will return the producer a smaller share than is the case with certain products such as butter or eggs. For ex- ample. the farmer gets 59 per cent of the dollar spent by the con- sumer for beef but only 50 per cent of the dollar spent for pork which requires more trimming and preparation than is the case with beef

I number of quite effective chem- icals for spraying both livestock and stables there is. we believe. much to be said in favour of the ordinary fly stickers. these stick- ers hung up in a stable are a great attraction to flies and can do a real job in reducing the fly pop- ulation in quantities the stickers are not expensive and are certain- ly worth a trial. POTATO SPROUTS

Nearly every spring finds some- one either farmer or shipper busy in the unproductive task of sprout- ing potatoes. Potato sprouts serve I useful purpose in the soil but are simply a nuisan in either sack or sellar. Some varieties sprout more readily then others and with the advent of more and more furnaces in farm cellars it is possible to get the sprouting season underway as early as Jan- uary. However. April, May, June, and July are the best sprouting months which leads us to observe that there would appear to be I necessity in this province for the provision of controlled tempera- ture storage which would be util- lzed in the spring of the year to store potatoes which are now being stored in Montreal and Toronto. ISLAND PROSPECTS

There is likely some grounds for regrets that this province has not so far developed its agricultural possibllites or any possibility for that matter to the limit. In farm- ing, it would appear that in gen- eral we could produce I great deal more than we do in practically every product provided that I market were available. With some of these products such as eggs. butter. cheese. pork and beef I market is available and we do have the raw materials needed to produce beef and certainly the production of grain can be increas- ed as well.

Whether or not Island agricul- ture increases its production will

Mr. Woodrow Wh scored the lack of interest wflaliigytlin Fed-

the venture. He asked the Pres-

ident of the organtzstlon. Mr. Arch.

ie Johnston why the Fedentlon had failed to include a recom- mendation for the Iblttotr in their last four briefs.

FEDERATION VIEW! .

Mr. Johnston explained that the Federation had previously support- ed the Potato Marketing Board and as a result of its being voted out had lost membership. He said the Board of Directors had as I result decided not to support any issue of I contentious nature. Mr. Jo n- stone assured Mr. Wheatley that the support of the Federation was withdrawn for no othe reason. Present at the meeting were Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Agriculture and Mr. Thomas Kick- ham. MP. for Kings County.

Mr. Cullen explained to the meet- ing the Government's stand on the matter. They had given I condit- ionai grant to the company which would be pIid when the subscribed capital was in the bank.

CASH SCAILCE

Mr. Kickham expressed the opin- ion that it would be difficult for a great many farmers to put their hands on the necessary capital for

gested that an attempt be made to better inform them and make a drive for shareholders in the Fall. The President asked whether all members who had subscribed to the company would be willing to make good their shares and in every case the subscribers indi- cated their willingness to do so. Mr. Stevenson then asked for any- one to voice on ' 1 against the organization and to this request he received no reply.

It was unanimously agreed that all shares would be paid up im- mediately and any amount lacking would be made up as soon as pos-

ble.

Mr. Siddail said that he and his two sons would move to Charlotte- town and he was anxious to see the thing settled one way or the other. He said his feelings would not be hurt in the least if they decided against the organization of the company. "If I don't set up my
