The Districts would each con- ialn from 14 to 20 school districts while at the present time each school district is a unit in itself. It was stated that Federation direct- ors fclt the school unit was too small for efficient operation and that providing for the larger units would make it easier to get more capable officials and possibly teach them easier.

Opposition to the plan was free- ly voiced by a large number was felt that in dropping the school district plan the Federation would destroy the interest of many mem- bers who might not feel as close to the large district. A suggestion was offered that the plan be an!- ended to provide for the larger unit. based on polling districts. These would each include three or four school districts. The suggestion was turned down.

One of the main argument: in favor of retaining the school dis-

trict was the feeling that farm- ers should not get away from their local farm forums. It was

stated they were necessary to strengthen theFctleration through bringing in new members.

The new plan calls for each of the school districts to send three delegates. on a three year rotating plan. to the larger Fed- eration Distrlcf. The annual meet- ing of the latter would then elect nine directors to handle its af- fairs. It was also mentioned that It. was hoped then to have the chairman and secretary of each of the larger districts attend a short. course for one week in or- der to better qualify them to go out and folk lo farmers explain- iho aims of the Federation and secure more members. When the Provincial annual meeting would be held each of proposed 26 Federation Districts in the Province would send two dele- gates as voting members and the secrciary in a non-voting advis- ory capacity.

The plan for the change was

described and explained by Mr. Leo Mclsaac. ' Hon. Mr. Baker

When the afternoon session

opened there was a brief address by Hon. C. C. Baker who told of present agricultural conditions in Canada as a whole with par- ticular reference to the excellent year being enjoyed by farmers of Prince Edward Island. Mr. Baker in touching on the farm labor problem expressed the that if farmers would provide liv- ing quarters for married men it would help solve the problem as there would be more Dutch immi- grants thus attracted. However. he recognized that high building costs were an important deterring factor.

The Minitter of Agriculture also said that an invitation had been extended to the Provincial Min- lsters of Agriculture and their Deputies to hold their 1952 con- ference in this city and they would probably be here for Old Home Week next year. He had attended this year's conference of all the Provincial Ministers in Victoria.

Mrs. MacMillan in a short pre- sidential report spoke of the Fed- eral opposition to retail price fix- ing by manufacturers and the subject was lstered cov red in in resolution. She also told of the excellent. work being done in re- forestation and the value of the

.of rural lmhcsrefuliy studied by

era per

Farm Forum. she said the matter electrification should be the Feder- ation and stated her belief that

iiherg would be many sections of nlsovvisited friends in Charlotte-,

tlie Province without it so long

She also spoke ofiho FPl'lPI'l'lil-O-IT feeling that electoral reform was necessary.

' Secretary's Report

Mr. Lincoln Dewar, PI'DYiIIPiItli Fcderaiion secretary, presented his report and dealt briefly with the two" types of membership. cash fees and agreemcnis.

He brief-ly outlined an agri- cultural conference in Central Canada where Western hog grow- ers objected to rail grading while Easterners favored it. He said a compromise was reached whereby the Westerners would get live grading when they were shipping live hogs to the United States. He also told of a suggestion that each Province set up a Poultry Marketing Board and that the boards would first deal with the handling of eggs. He said the poultry industry had need of a stabilization fund and cited as an example the way the Austral- ian sheep breeders had built up a large fund for future contingen- cies.

Mr. Dewar also outlined Feder- ation inierest. in the Newfound- land trade, transportation facil- ities and a public killing plant located here. All of these are presently under consideration he stated. He spoke. too. of the ef- for-is made to have the Northum- beriand Ferries continue operation in December if ilie weather was

favor-alble. However. he added that a subsidy for such con- tinued operation had been re-

fused as this was considered a summer route.

Mr? D. A. MacDonald. chairman: and manager of the Potato Mar-I keiing Board. said that ilie mar- ket had now changed after three

years of over-production and this year it is s producers market. He said there had been some ev- idence of a slight price reccssioni within the past few days. but he felt there was no occasion furl alarm and the worst thing the; growers could do would be to show signs of panic. He noted that recently some Maine potatoes had come into Canada and this possibly had an influence on the Montreal and Toronto markets. However. if the potato prolguce-rs continue to market the (' p in an orderly manner there will be no worry.

He estimated the potato in- come ot this Province this year as. three times as high as last. yeari and added that farmers with po-i tatoes are finding a ready and profitable market.

l i

Wama of Danger

Mr. S. G. Peppin told of flit-. "wart" disease in Newfoundland potatoes and warned all shippers here that under no consideration should they use Itecond-hand bags for their produce. He spoke of the potato testing being done in

Florida and said they shipped at

samples down there and they should be ready for planting now. The reading the shippers will get in January will tell them what to expect from their crops ncxt tear.

He noted several booklets the Federal Government had publish- ed on foods and said it was hoped to have them-.put oneout on the subject of potatoes, how to cook and serve and provide a variety of information and recipes for housewives. Mr. Peppin mention- ed that one advertisement placed in I trade paper in New York had resulted in an inquiry from Cuba for l'f.ll)0 bags. an order which might be increashi if a direct steamer were secured to load the order.

'A description of Charlottetown iii the Fall of 1803 is contained in the writings of Dr. Edward Walsh. an EnglL-shman who came to Can- ada in that year as a medical of- ficer of the 49th. Regiment.

The documents were recently salvaged from old family papers in Ireland by the writer's great- grandnephew, a Colonel R. H. Walsh of Ramsey. Hampshire. England. They were forwarded to Canada and presented to the Public Arch- ives in Ottawa.

Sailing from Spithead. England. in August. 1903. Dr. Walsh was aboard one of eighteen vessels that were convoyed by a British frigate and cutter. His writings detail the six weeks trip to the port of Char- lottetown and he remained here from Sept. 25th. to Oct. 9th.

The remainder and the bulk of his writings are related to his act.- iviiies among the various Indian tribes in Central Canada. He com- piled a dictionary of the Sioux language. and this is among his group of religion and funeral cer- emonies and an attempt at an In- dian census. The militia strength of the Quebec garrison for one of the years together with a battle report showing casualties and pris- oners is included.
