er requires his stock. Potatoes arei plied on donrlage, four sacks high with air spaces between each row. The warehouses are made practi-‘ cally air tight and darkened by nailing black paper over the win- dows. The doors are opened at night, thus giving the potatoes the benefit of the colder night temper- ature. At daybreak the doors are closed. The result is that the in- terior temperature is held at alow- er degree during the day than the. exterior temperature. The import-,

ance of this will be recognlzedi when it is realized that in the* Southern States the mid~day tcm- perature during the Winter months often reaches 65 degrees. The pro- blem of hon-refrigerated storage is therefore one of holding back ger- mination rather than protecting thc potatoes against frost, and it is rarely ever necessary to use heat. The average cargo consists of 20,- 000 sacks of 2% bushels each, al-

though at times much larger car- goes are shipped. This Province holds the record of having shipped the largest cargo of potatoes ever moved by water. totalling some- where in the vicinity of 2,000,000 bushels on one ship.

ters of business.

A few facts of special interest

about our Island Province may bear repetition. It is the most densely populated of any of the Canadian Provinces; it has the greatest per capita production; it is the only cattle disease-free province in the Dominion, for the eradi-. cation oi’ bovine tuberculosis; it is the home of the great sliver black fox industry, which produced an estimated rev-

$4,000,000 .

The Island cheese last yeargrad-

ed the second highest in the Dom- inion. while our butter graded the highest in Canada. Our potato in- dustry has brought our Province into national prominence. Our cer- tified seed potatoes have a large market in the Southern States of America. while our table stock is fast capturing the Canadian mar-` ket.

Our live stock represents a value

of about $9,000,000, with an annual revenue of $7,200,000.

From our dairying we derive a

revenue of over $1,000,000.

The export and import trade of

our Province have increased 400 pc: cent. within the last ten years.

It is estimated that the agricul-

tural value of lands, buildings, im- plements, live stock, poultry and animals is in the vicinity of `$80,- 000,000, while the value of our ag- ricultural prcducts may be said to. be $35,000,000.

tory of the world, is there any valid reason for our fearing the ultimate result of general fur-farming?

Quality Counts

Fox farming, which is synonym-

ed most conspicuously with ani-

which have a high pelt value be cause of the quality of the fur and the impossibility of imitation.

The men who gave birth to this

new industry laid no claim to a knowledge of the biological princi- ples underlying their venture, but simply recognized that when for- tune brought to the trap a rare sil- ver black fox it meant a greatly in- creased revenue from their fur sales. Man's desire for money was the real force in determining com- mercialized conservation, and upon the intensity oi’ that desire today depends largely the success or fail- ure of the enterprise. -

Selection of Stock

Selection of foundation breeding

foxes is the main essential in suc- cessful fox ranching, and this is a subject in itself that requires much experience combined with the se- lective natural instinct dominant in some men, who have made the

greatest success in the breeding of race horses, dairy cattle and poul- try. The fox farmer is always ad- vised, and rightly so, to procure pure bred, registered, pedigreed an- imals, keeplng in mind conforma- tion for Show purposes, but the sum total of one's selection must be fur quality in relation to fur value. It is always wise to select foxes with quantity and quality of fur, with fine silky texture and clear in color. By clearness in color is meant that` the black must be of that raven bluish black tint, free from any ru- fous shades common to his vulgar ancestors; and the silver markings must have that bright sparkling metallic hue with the silver band- ed hairs and sparkling tip.

Having made the foundation se-

lection, the next step is the scienti- fic mating of the individuals. It

The handling of this large amount f poultry by one concern is clear evidence of what may be accom- plished when the members of a community pull together. The Co- operative Egg da Poultry is an out- standing example of the benefits which are possible to the producers of products of the farm, and has been the demonstrator for other organizations handling other lines of farm products not only on P. E. Island but throughout the whole Dominion.

Standard Grading

It should be noted that the Asso-

ciation had, during this year, and also in 1927, graded its poultry in accordance with a new standard of grading, prepared by a committee appointed for the purpose by the Federal Department of Agriculture in 1926. This standard, though not yet law, is generally accepted and is usediby all the large poultry dealers in the country.

Starting in 1914, when the Asso-

dred thousand dozens of eggs there has been a steady growth until the volume of eggs has increased to over a million dozens handled annually; during 1927, 1,130,000 dozens were handled, all eggs being graded in accordance with Clovernmentgrad- ing regulations into three grades- Extras, Firsts and Seconds.

In lamb marketing Prince Edward

shipplng, but in 1927 over 8,000 lambs were marketed through these organ- izations, and to date over 4,000 have been handled in 1928. The live stock

shipping clubs have been the great- est factor in increasing the quality and quantity of the sheep and swine produced in the province. With one salesman and one central organize- tion for the three Maritime Pro-

vinces, producers have been in a po- sition to obtain thc very highest market prices by selling direct to the packers.

One of the best features of tllcsc

organizations is that farmers arc now able to ship their live stock nt the season of the year when prices are at their highest. Insteadof hav-

ing all litters farrowed during thc!

Spring and Fall. swinc-growers arci now following the policy of produc- ing a steady supply throughout thc twelve months.

, A _ _ f _

Island has always been famous for Sllltivabed It is naturally drained and is not liable to injury rom exces

ive rains or periods of drouth. For this reason we rarely have a serious

crop failure. Conditions are such us\`to guarantee an annual profitable

'eturri to the agrlculturist who adopts mixed farming.

Many varieties oi' fruits nourish ln the Province. Apples especially

all be grown in abundance, and are of good quality.

We have no cxtrcmcs of heat or cold. The temperature rarely

goes abovc 75 degrees in midsummcr or below zero in winter.

An advantagous point in connection with our isolation as an island

is that crime is of rare occurrence, The Sabbath Day observance cus- tomary throughout thc Province has been noted with approval by visit- ors, espccially those coming from larger centres, who find here the peace

and quiet so necessary to an enjoyable summer holiday. '

With over eighty per cent. of our population engaged in agricul-

iural pursuits, we have the largest percentage of actual producers of wealth of any Province in Canada. For this reason we are never subject to sllut-outs or close-downs due to industrial troubles. The earnings of our people arc more uniform, and our invested per capita wealth is the greatest of any Province in Canada.

System of Farming,

\ Tllc system followed by our mixed farmers is usually cnc of four

or f"lvc years' rotation, dividing the farm into 25 per cent. roots, corn, nnd green fccd, 25 per cent. grain, 25 per cent. hay, and 25 per cent. pas- ture. This varies to a certain cxtcnt in the fivc years rotation, when n grcnter amount of hay and pasture acreage is allotted. The method i'oi_ lowed permits thc' farmer to grow a sufficient quantity of suitable crops to balance his ration for winter feeding. ’ _

Our best live stock farmers follow a policy of growing their; crop in

‘summer and manufacturing it into the higher priced finished products,

thus securing a double profit. In this way remuncrativc cmploynient can bc found in winl/cr for the necessary help that must. bc secured for thc summer season.

The successful mixed farmers grow one cnsli crop with their live

stock farming, which usually includes certified sccd or commcrciiil ppm. toes, registered sccd grain, timothy or brown top sccds.

How Hearts

Are Cured

(Bynritish unitoo ri-ou) BUDAPESTI Sept. 25.-The es-

tablishment of mental clinics in which would-be suicides can be treated by psychologists and induc- ed to take a new interest in life is the latest move of the authorities to check the ever growing number of self-murderers in Hungary.

Spacious, sunny rooms, tastefully

furnished, are provided for the in- mates of these clinics, and every- thing possible isxlene to make them feel comfortable and happy.

Special attention is paid to those

cases-and they are many-where a man has lost hisemployment and finding himself unable to support his family tums"to suicide as the only way out of his trouble. There is a full investigation into the man’s circumstances, and an attempt is made to find a position for him and give him a new start in life,

Some of the women who are sent

to the clinics are victims of an un- fortunate love affair, and these are given special treatment by women psychologists.

The mental clinics are known as

“Life Defence Institutes." They have libraries. small cinemas, and an orchestra plays cheerful music ev- ery evening. The inmates are known as "guests" and are allowed to take their meals in their own rooms if they desire.

Usually one week's treatment is

sufficient to effect a complete cure. I-lypnotism is sometimes used in or- der to lrlduce a sane and healthy outlook on life `and games and out- door sports are encouraged.
