Immediate preparation of plans in conserve and develop the nat- ural resources the Pmvinol. with a view 1c commencing work immediately after the war, is ur- ged in s comprehensive brief pre- pared by the Prince Edward Is- land Commit of the Canadian Conservation Commission.

The committee's report deals chiefly with the causes of reduced soil fertility and their remody- "The improvement of this greatest nat- ural asset of the Province." it says. "does not lie in increased applic- ation oi chemical fertilizer, sl- though for a time that might hell). Faulty farming practices plus de- gletlcn of natural water sup

ave contributed very lsrglly t0 i i-B reduced fertility and any sugges- tions concerning improvement must be based on that premise.‘

Water stabilization through in- creased forest cover is recommen- ded as of first and foremost im- portance in this connection.

The provincial committee, under the chairmanship of Dr. J. A. Clark.

intendent of the Dominion Experimental Farm, has been at 'work on its report for some time. Other members, representing all parts of the Province. are Messrs. J. O. Hyndtnan, W. R. Shaw. B. F. Tunney, D. C. Schumann, R. R. Hurst, Fred Cannon. Leo M. Cas- serly, F. G. Ward, G. B. whiteside, G. C. Warren, and D. J. Bonnell.

The report was submitted to~the Provincial Government and Board of Trade before being forwarded to the national Commission, which is headed by Dr. .1. D. Wilder, presi- dent of the Western University. London, Ont. It will later be <10- ordinated with recommendations of other provincial committzes in a general plan of national conservat- ion and rehabilitation.
