A case in point is the duty on wheat. For some years since the war the duty on wheat entering the United States has been 30 cents per bushel The farmers of the United States complained that this duty was not high enough. They averred that they were "being ruined by the com petition of the Canadian prairie w-heat growers.’ This American Government listened to their plaints with the result that the duty will be 42 cents rper bushel.

SEED POTATO GROWERS

Slr.~—As 1 was‘ attending the far- mers’ meeting in Charlottetown last week l was -much interested in the Potato Gnowers’ Association and was one of those invited to the splendid supper given lby the Rotar- ians on Thursday evening. '1 was somewhat surprised by the speech- es I heard there, that the Rotar- lans were ‘the flnst to start the 1P0- tato Grawers‘ Association, as l1 had read the speeches delivered in the House of Assembly two years aglo. Mr. Brodie of the Third District of Queens in replying to Mr. Lea stated that Mr. Wm. McFadyen of Augustine Cove and himself were tho first to start the Potato Grow- ers Assoclation on the island. Now the Bell Government claim that they were the first to start it, and it'll understand, Mr. John Dewar, President of the Associa- tion, ltbe Board ol’ Trade all claim the honor. New as Mr. Dewar was the first President of the Associa- ilon l would ask him to tell us to whom the credit is due.
