OTTAWA LETTER

ilow P. E. Island is Described

in the Immigration Pamphlet.

(Special correspondence of The Examiner.)

Annnexed to the Immigration Pamphlet which contained Mr. Davey’s report on the Maritime Provinces, are a number of letters from leading farmers, written at the re- quest of Sir Charles Tupper. The follow- ing are those which relate to Prince Ed- ward Island :—

Mr. Franklin Bovyer, box 34, Charlotte- town, Prince Edward Island, March 3, 1892:

| take the liberty of calling your atten- tion to the Province of Prince Edward Is- land as a country admirably suited for emigrants :o settle in, who have a little means and some experience in cultivating the land and stock raising.

The Island is an agricultural province in every sense of the word, there being no mines of any kind. The soil is of red sand- stone formation, easily cultivated, and does not require underdraining owing to its porous subsoil. The surface is undulating! or rolling, but not hilly. The natural furests are the beech, birch, maple, oak, pine, spruce, hemlock, fir and larch or juniper.

The population is made up of emigrants, or the descendants of emigrants from Eng- land, Scotland and Ireland, who came out here almost penniless, cut down the forests, cleaned up their farms, and soon became comfortably off, the little log hut soon giv- ing place to comfortable residences and large barns and stables.

Every farmer here can justly pride him- self in being his own proprietor, and any farmer coming here from the old country with a few hundred pounds in his pocket can purchase an improved farm in a good locality, go to work unencumbered, and spend the remainder of his days comfort- ably without the everlasting dread of rent coming due.

The average yield of fairly worked farms per acre will exceed 50 bush. oats, 20 bush. wheat, 30 bush. barley, 200 bush. potatoes, and 800 bush. swede turnips. All kinds of vegetables grow here as well as in any part of the world. Hay yields about two tons per acre. Some of our best farms far exceed these figures.

For stock-raising purposes the Island is well adapted, being a fine quality of graz- ing land, and well watered by springs and rivulets.

Nearly every farm is provided with an abundant supply of either marsh mud or swamp mud and mussel mud, the latter being a deposit of decayed oysters and mus- sels severai feet deep, which has accumn- lated in the bottoms of our rivers. ‘This valuable manure is obtained easily and cheaply in the winter season by means of a machine set on the ice and operated by a horse. The cost of this dredger is about £10, and will last a farmer a lifetime.

The climate of the Island in summer is remarkably fine, and vegetation rapid. The English farmer can hardly believe

his own, sown in the month of March, is fit to cut, yet such is the case. no unpleasantly hot weather, but the

greater part of our summer is made up of

sunshine, with just enough showers to

force vegetation to its utmost. The winter

season is long, but we do not have the cold

dips that other parts of the continent are

subjected to ; but the admirable roads pro-

duced by the frost and snow, which permit the traveller to drive in al! directions over

the rivers and bays, and enable the farmer to carry on the work of enriching his farm,

or lumbering in the woods, more than com-

pensates for other drawbacks it may occa-

sion.

Improved farms can be obtained very reasonably, and, settle where you will, a good free school is within a half-hour’s walk. Churches are aiso within easy access, and for markets and shipping places every settlement is well provided.

I know of no district in America which can so truthfully be said to resemble the old country, and even the hawthorn seems to be convinced of this, for in no other part of North America can the thorn hedge be persuaded to take up its abode ; but here, in our little *‘ Garden of the Gulf,” will it flourish as at ‘*home.” And, like the hawthorn, the English farmer, with Eng- lish pluck and energy, can easily get a foot- hold, and when vunce planted he will flourish.

Mr. Albert Mutch, Lot 46, P. E. L, March Ist, 1892 :—

As the season approaches when intend- ing emigrants in Great Britain turn their thoughts to America and dream of free farms in the far West, it might not be im- pertinent in me, a3 a farmer in one of the older provinces of the Dominion of Canada to set before them a few ;facts relative to the suitability of P. E. Island as a place in which intendiug farmers might locate with advantage. With this object in view, will make a few statements concerning the scil and its productiveness, the seasons, yalue of improved farms, and a few general remarks in regard to other things such as farmers are supposed to be interested in.

The soil of the Island may chiefly be classed under sandy loam, It responds freely to liberal treatment, is very easy vf tillage, being in most sections entirely free from stone, and for grazing purposes is acknowledged by Ontario farmers to be vastly superior to theirs.

In seeding down for hay, six quarts of timothy, with three pounds of clover seed per acre, will give the next year (if the land be in proper condition when seeded down) three tons of clover hay, the timothy

—

jan2- dy & wky

being entirely kept down the first year by the luxuriant growth of clover, while in

———

Gatario they use from 8 to 12 pounds of clover seed to get the same results. I merely state this to give an idea of the natural tendency of the soil to run to grass under proper treatment.

In the producticn of cereals and roots, I will give some figures to show what can be and has been obtained per acre with from fair to good management —wheat, 25 to 40 bushels; oats, 40 to 60 bus.; barley, 30 to 50 bus ; potatoes, 200 to 300 bus ; turnips, 600 to 800 bus. These figures, in very favorable seasons, have been considerably exceeded.

Our cropping season begins generaily about the first week of May and closes about the first week of July. Our hay crop is secured between July 25 and Aug. 12; the early grain is then ready to cut, ani the latest is usually secured by Sept. 16. Potatoes are dug early in October, while the turnip swedes are saved about the first week of Nuvember. Then we generally have about two montha for ploughing aud shipping and other farm work ;before win- ter begins.

Our winters are not severe. There are usually a few snaps when the mercury falls to zero, but they don’t last long, and be- tween those there is fine weather, which the farmers take advantage of in hauling their products to market, and securing manure, which is found in abundance in our swainps and salt marshes. Our summers are very fine. Situated as we are in the midst of the Gulf of St. Law- rence, the breezes that pass over us are tempered by its waters, and excessive heat is unknown. We are also entirely free from summer frosts, also from tornadoes, blizzards and cyclones, so destructive to life and property in the west, chiefly in the Western States.

Improved farms may be purchased here, within four or five miles of Charlottetown, for from 20 to 35 dollars per acre; and by improved farms I mean those with good dwelling houses and substantial outbuild- ings, with wells of water at the door, and usually one or more springs on the farm for the use of he stock, and the land in very fair condition. In other parts of the Island, not quite sv near the capital, yet with just as goud shipping privileges, the land is still cheaper. The size of the farms is, generally speaking, from 50 to 150 acres.

Education is well provided for, the schools being all free, and the country is so well provided with schouls that, except in remote sections, children have rarely more than one mile to go to school.

Of churches, too, it may be said also that the different denominations have planted them throughout the length and breadth of the land, so that any person desirous of hearing the gospel preached may be accom- modated without any inconvenience,

1 will not deny that the Island has in- conveniences, chief among which is its alight isolation during the winter season, but in a very few years we hope to see that removed by tiie proposed tunnel under the Straits of Northumberland; and with that once completed, and a little more confi- dence infused anong the people, of their own abilities and resources, Prince Elward Island would soon become what nature in- tended it should be--one of the most beautiful farming countries in British North America,

Now, sir, in conclusion, I wish to say that, being desirous of going over as much

that grain sown here in the month of May|ground as I possibly could, aud saying will be safely harvested in the bara before |something on the principal subjects sup-

posed to interest farmers, I must of neces-

We have|sity deal briefly with each in the space of a

letter, Itis to men of the farming class who contemplate emigrating 1 present these facts faithfully and truthfully as they have presented themselves te me, and if this should catch the eye of any such who might wish for further information on the sub- ject, any correspondence addressed to me will receive prompt attention. Mr. Walter Sim , Bay View, P. E. 1: As to the suitability of Prince Edward Is- land as & place of settlement for British farm- e1s I would say that I think it a very desir- able place for a certain class of English farm- ers to locate, I think that the class of English farmers that would succeed best here is the tenant farmer of some means and large experience in the best modes of cultivating the soil. A rson with a capital of $2500 to $6000, or Dn £500 to £1000 could purchase 100 acres of improved land, well located with t to markets, schools and churches, with good farm buildiogs on the farm.

The soil is naturally fertile, is easily work- ed, does not require under-draining on account of the rolling nature of the surface and the great number of rivers and brooks that, like a network, intersect the country.

Wheat, oats and barley attain the greatest perfection. The only cereal that does not come to perfection bere is Indian cern (maize), and that can be grown to a far enough ad- vanced stage to make good ersilage.

Our soil and climate are lly adapted to the growth of roots. I think we may safe- ly challenge the world to competition in the production of these crops Three hundred bushels of potatoes is considered a fairly good yield on an acre; while 1000 oushels of turnips can easily be produced on an acre of land. Mangolds, carrots and other roots do exceedingly well.

Our Island is well adapted to stock raising. All kinds of stock do well on our luscious grasses in summer and can be wintered cheap. ly on the abundance of hay, straw and roots produced. We export a great many fat cattle, some of which go to Knglaad. Sheep have always been a very profitable stock to keep. Our mutton and lamb is of a very superior quality and is eagerly sought after by the people of the United States. ¢

Our Island is preeminently suited to dairy- ing. We have the great pre-requisites of dairying ; good grass, clear running water and absence from droughtr. The best of butter aud cheeee can be produced, and will be in the future, as our farmers are turning their attention to cooperative dairying and are making a move to establish butter and cheese factories.

The British farmer who would settle among us would find himself surrounded by every convenience he enjoyed at home, and relieved from a great many burdens he had to bear

re.

Our system of free education is not sur-

passed by any other country, It is non- sectarian. The salaries of the teachers are paid by Government The householders have ouly to raise the running expenses. Schoolhouses are placed about three miles apart all over the country, and it is rare to meet with a young or middle-aged person that cannot read and write.

We have churches of one or the other of the leading denominations in every settlement.

A railway runs through the centre of the Island from one end to the other, aud as the Island is narrow—izs breadth at the widest

t being 34 miles, while its average breadth is only 18 miles—this brings the railway within reasonable distance of the larger number of the inhabitants,

Our coast abounds with harbors avd bays, 80 all are within easy reach of shi .

We have a Legislature consisting of two branches, to look after our local wants. Any person who is 21 years of age can vote for a member of the popular branch or House of Assembly, but a voter for the Legislative — requires a small property qualifica-

or,

Our principal exports are oats, potatoes, beef, cattle, sheep go" lambs, Saaiee, pork, eggs, poultry and butter.

ur taxes are very low. We have no poor rates (none needed), No cstablished church to pay tithes to. No income tax. Taxes have been on rea! estate. We have room for quite a number of good practical farmers, who are pretty well up in the art of tilling the soil and handling stock for beef purposes or the dairy. The slipshod farmers had better go further west to the prairies.

Our climate is healthy; cold in winter, but dry and pleasant.

People who come here from England re- mark on the resemblance ef our scenery to the scenery of the British Isles.

The Island is dotted over with groves of evergreen and deciduous trees, which tend to give it a home like appearance, and the balmy breezes of the Gulf of St Lawrence make the summer here the delight of the tourist and inhabitant alike.
