Few Candidates . ln Sight For Civic Election

With nomination day less than two weeks away, only the office of Mayor and the councillor-ship of Ward 2 have given definite evid- ence of being contested in the forthcoming civic election here on February 8.

Two Charlottetown lawyers, Mr. M. Aiban Farmer and Mr. N. W. Loivtlier have signified their in- tentions of contesting the Mayor-

uble Division at the annual meet- ing of the P.E.I. Agricultural Council on Tuesday. He noted that the packing of small packages. 10 and 15 pounds, had greatly in- creased.

1,ll7 export permits were issued for seed potato shipments. and six for tablestock during the year, Mr. Shaw said. Up to December 31st, 2.344 ears of tableaiock were shipped, - {dim More than 300 cars of turnips were shipped to Ontario during the year and shipments to the United Statq amounted to 1.350 cars. 644 carioads were shipped to the U.S.A. at this date from the

104B crop. "Our grmteat worry this season in the certifying of turnips was

the ' greater-than-uaual infestation of turnip maggots and we strong- ly recommend that more attention be given by the Science Service of the Federal Department to the turnip industry", Mr. Shaw said. "We would also recommend that only government inspected turnip seed should be placed on the mar- ket. as many growers have suf- fered a severe lose this season through the use of inferior seed." He reported over 30o acres of strawberries harvested in i949 with an excellent yield of good quality berries. Blueberry shipments am- ounted to fifteen carloitda for the season.

He reported an excellent yield of good quality carrots, parsnlps, beets and cabbage during the year. but stated the yield of cranberries was light.

Two cariuads of Island grown apples \vei-e shipped to Montreal and found favour on that mar-
