ductioii, ivliicli is mostly nearly competitive to seed coining from Canada's must important seed areas, was the Cobbler, of which 2,863,042 bushels were harvested. This rcpreseiited~33 p01‘ cent of .\laine's total production of seed potatoes, but shows a decline from the important posi- tion of tliis variety in 193,7, when 4i per cent of production was of Cobblers. A still greater decline is shown in tlie yield of Green Alotintaiiis siucc this variety now takes second place, with a production of 2,593,40i bushels or 3i per cent of the total, while in i937 it held first place with 43 per cent of the total. These two varieties alone represented 84 per cent 0f total Maine pro- duction in i937, but now provide only 64 per cent.

lllecatise of the exceedingly large crop in the Llnited States, prospects for selling Canadian seed potatoes would appear at first sight to be very slight. The low price at which United States stipplies may be‘ obtained distinctly prevents Canada. from competing on a price basis. Because of the disease-free nature of Canadian stock, however, there are certain potato growers who will purchase Canadian stock re- gardlcss of price. and it can he estimated that from 400.000 to 500.000 llll$llClS will be import- ed tluriug the current season. It is already re- ported that 150,000 bushels 0f Prince Edward Island Cobblers were shipped to Virginia on two ships in vIiIllllilYV. Long Island is also expected to take considerable qtiziiititics, but will hold off the market until the last possible moment be- catise of unfortunate experiences last year. Deal- ers who had bought potatoes outright stiddenly found the market swamped with consignment shipments which reduced the price and catiscd them considerable loss. This experience will lead to catitiori this year, and may prevent many dealer sales. i

PUBLIC HEALTH CONDITIONS

VI

Slr,-In pievlous letters I hflvfl outlined conditions caused by pro- longed illness or death of the fam- ily bread-winner. I have made COLIIpBFISOIIS to prove that such coiiuiuon. were an illlllfillce- 1 “We also iznalntained that. li. was a Chm- tlan Issue. _

Now finally I suggest a brief of l plan to correct this sltuatioznfl is:

That tlie Government appoint. an mdependent. non-political Commis- slon to which applications for as- Jstance be made. The Coiruuisstort would have an investigation made, then recommend applicants and au- vise the Government of amount. and duration of assistance necessary. By this method, each case would be considered separately so that. none of the circumstances involved would be overlooked. It would also be certain to avoid abuses. Tne Government ls fully aware of these terrible conditions because they are Informed of them by those eeking (in many cases In vain» as- sistance; also by delegations of prominent. citizens who endeavor to have justice done for some par- ticular case; also because this mat- ter has been discussed at. many public meeting: In recent years.

Let, when e adoption of a plan similar to the one outlined here was requested at the last session of me Legislature instead of adopting it, they appointed a committee of M. L. Afs to Investigate the Public Health conditions. Why an investigation when the conditions were already known? Arid why, after allowing these condi- tlons to continue another‘ year while such an investigation be made, at even this lave date has not the In- vestigation been conducted. Surely such actions make It clear that Individuals, clubs, societies, and all organizations must. demand that justice be done. Therefore I conclude with this appeal. that. all Christians make an erne t. and prolonged effort, If ne- cessary, to have this situation cor- rected. If they do not, can they have a. clear conscience realizing that sick people, widows and help- less children are probably cold and hungry with the hazard of In-

creased lllness, suffering, death arid sorrow?

Let. your actions be your answer. I am. Sir. etc.. HUMANITARIAN.

COOPERATIVE MARKETING

Why It. ls necessary to have to take up one's time, to try and get. the farmers to g0 In for co-pera- tive selling and buying ls more hen I can understand, especlallr/ when they know from experience what, has been taking place in the la t, twenty years. by the hlgley- pigley pollcy of each farmer trylng t/o operate 0n his own. In the good old farmers had money, buslnes was carried on by the old fashioned firms, which were family affairs, operated In most cases by the same frmlly for generations, and these IIIITIS in turn dld business with their personal friends made up of tlie some farmers and their sons year In and year out on a truly co-operative basis, although I dotibi. if a farmer ever heard It called so, at the time

In those titty: the merchant often borrowed money from tlie farmers to do business on, I know we cllcl. Then he would stipply hlm with everything he needed and charged it In lils books: and ln those days one of these book accounts was as itcod as money lii the batik. because the next Fall the tanner would haul in cverylhln" lie had to sell, to the merchant who had carried his account, and there would be a. ftemcnt.

Here was where the Co-operatlon came ln, for the merchant, was compelled to hunt up markets for everything the farmer bud to sell, so a to realize on his book ac- counts.

In later years these flrms ha- cnmc Limited Llablllty Compa-nies. otherwise known as soulless cor- poration , operated for the benefit; olilzrrgc number of stockholders. who had no personal interest In the farmer.

They put. In a. cash system and the minute they got bald for WIIIIC they sold the farmer, they had no further interest, until they had soirlietlilng more to dlspme of for cast.

In the old days coal cost the far- mer from 2.75 to $3.75 a ton and a binder less than $100.00. wblle he got 32 cents for white oats and 34 for black, frcm B to l0 cents a ctoz for eggs and from 25 to 30 cents a bushel for potatoes.

Today coal costs us from $8.00 to $10 00. while a binder with less material In It, Ls simply beyond otir reach. where we still got 34 centa for oats and from 25 to 30 cents for potatoes. Eggs have gone up more than either of the other two. be- cause of the Co-Operatlve Egg

What 1s the cause? Because the through their Brotherhood, Labor through their Unions, mariufaturers through the manufacturers Association. Then there ls the Retailers Asoclatlon; the buslnes: men have their Boards of ‘Trade, Big Business the Chamber 0f Corrimerce, the Bankers Associa- tlons and so on; and I ask ls there anyone so dumb as to think these are all carried on for the good of the other fellow, rather than to protect their own Interests?

When a manufactured article goes on the market, be ll: a radlo, an unto or a binder Its selling prlce goes with It and the agent cannot sell it for less, and keep the agency; and In most, crises these people are pl tected with a tariff. If they do not; t their prloe they do not sell If fey do not. sell they do not manufacture but. turn out plough: or something el-e and the binder takes n0 harm until the farmer Ls forced t0 buy.

Buslne s conditions haveehangcd. and today there Ls no one vitally Interested In looking up markets for the farmers, except, ourselves, and that ls why we must get back to the old system of Ito-operation. ex- cept that, Instead 0t co-operaflng with the old fashioned merchant, who has gone out of the picture, they must, co-operate among them- selves by electlng from among their number a. small group of men. who will take the place of those who once looked after our Interests vrhilo protecting their own.

Too little stock means they have a lot of men on the pay roll wIth nothing for them to do; too large a stock means glut and clown goes the price, because 1t cost; the packing plant a h,‘ of money to feed a largo number of hogs over and above their capacity to dress them.

The p ant with the shortage wlll get In touch with some drove: and offer hlm an advance over the cut price of the other. and the farmer who sells to hlm thinks he Is smart because he got a half or three quarters of a. cent more than his neighbour, who happened to ship to the glutted plant. But he ls mis- taken.

If all the hogs shipped from the Province or killed In the local plant were sold under one selling agency, they could be supplied Iri such i; way that there would be no glut. and so that there would not be any time when a Blunt would be left. Idle, and In th way both packing plants could pay a. better price and

still make money.

I am glad to see that, there ls one Member with the courage of his convictions and again take my hat off to Mr. Macfsaac: and before closing I wish to say It Is high time our two representatives. the Hon. Horace Wright and Mr. C. C. Baker. made their position clear an the matter, because the last we heard of them was at a meeting in Ketnlngton.

When they were asked to ex- press thelr vlews on this Important matter, Mr. Wright said he was there to listen, not, to force his views on the voters.

I do not think an expreislon of opinion on the part of anyone, even a member of the Government, should be considered 9,5 forcing his views on the people. The people need leadership and If they do not get It In one way they wlll get 1t another. Controlled marketlng ts only one reason whv our farmers should get together. the others are far more important, but to explain them would make this letter too long.

FARM MARKETING ACT, ETC. Sin-In the Summerslde Journal

o_f Februar 10, there is a resolu- tion ease by the Summerslde Boar of Trade, calling on the

Executive Council for its approval of tlie Sheep and Swine Market- ing Plan, and causing it to become law forthwith.

The boosters of this plan have not. shown where an Increase in prices to the producer could or would be obtained by Its adoption. We already have shipping clubs functioning along this line, the seem to be doing as good a bus ness for the producers as they could If this legislation now asked for was In force.

There has been n number of meetings held throughout country. and as far as we could learn the maiority of the producers at. those mee lugs were not In fav- or of this move that has been sug- gested.

We all wlah the price! to farm- ers could be Increased and kept. a little higher than they an at pre- sent._ as there are many lines of farming that. not only do not pay for the labor but In many cases do not. ptlv the actual outlay of casli for production.

As I utiderstand the Act tlie In- r1 er/K-nt drover Is to be shtit out altogether, a. move that would cause a great. deal of inconvenience to many producers, and lessen the competition amongst, buyers, and as competition ls the llfe of trade. we as producers wlll necessarily welcome as much of It as possibly can be kept. going.

To offset this hand capo of get- ting the heavier animals a ood market we would need an uba tofr for killing hogs at summerslde and another one in King's County for killing both ho s and cattle. We have an abattor for kllllng lambs and cattle at Summerslde and a very com tent Inspector to take care of t e Inspectn In the In- terest: of the town, bu as he Is not an employee of the Federal Gov- ernment we cannot ship beef or pork outside Province on a certificate given by him.

You may therefore see what may happen wlth all the red tape that wlll be brought about by legislation In this matter.

I have already asked for a grant for an abattoir to get, our over- vieight bogs as well-as our cattle
