The following address on present day probfems in Agriculture in this Province was delivered yesterday before the Rotary Club by Mr. J. W. Boulter, secretary of the Potato, Growers Association and deputy Minister of Agriculture:

Agriculture at the present time. is not a pleasant topic to discuss and one ls possibly safer discussing ll. before a. Rotary Club, than be- fore s. body of farmers: this is all the‘ more reason why we should consider the position agriculture holds in our economic life.

I have no doubt you will enpect me to make some reference to the efforts put forth by the Federal and Maritime Provincial govern- ments, to have the British embargo agalnst Canadian potatoes, remov- ed. Therc 1s little I can say that has not already appeared in the press.

Naturally, I was disappointed in the results of the mission on which I, with others, had been sent; and yet, before leaving poms, I did not expect that we would be successful. For you information, 1 may state, that efforts to remove the embargo‘ have been carried on since early last fall. I can conscientiously say. that the Department of ‘Irade and Commerce, and the Department of Agriculture, at Ottawa. availed themselves of every particle of ln- formation we could supply, either through our Federal representatives, or directly through our Department of Agriculture; but the fact re- mains, that the policy of the Brit- ish people cannot be changed, be- fore you have satisfied them there is a lust reason for rnakng a change.

Britain's Position

The position in Britain today ls simply this: The farmers believe thc potato beetle can be brought in by lmportatlurls of potatoes. ’Untll

wise, the Mnlstry of Agriculture will be loath to remove the em- barge.

In 1925, Britain placed this em- bargo against all potatoes coming from areas infested with the pota- to beetle, as a. means oi’ keeping this plague, as they consider it, out. of their country. The farmer be- lieved there was a necessity for this, and because the Government pass- ed thls legislation seven years ago, the fanners today can see no reason why there ls less danger now than then. '

The Scientific Advlsors of the British Mirfstry of Agriculture, are satisfied, - although non-conunltal on the subject, that the beetle is not thus transported. The brief submitted by the Dominion En- tomologist, Dr. Gibson, sets forth. very clearly, that there is absolute- ly no iustflcatlon for the embargo on enlomologlcal grounds,‘ The beetle leaves the plants in Septem- ber, and enters the ground for hib- ernation. The large perceilbage of the beetles are in the ground a month before digging ls done. Years of observation in Eastern Canada, indicate that when the temperature drops to 66 degrees fnredlheit, the beetle burrows into the ground. i

No one ever finds a beetle in warehouses, or other places used as storage places for potatoes. Dr. Gibson stated, that in his thrty years’ association with the develop- ‘merit of applied entomology in ‘Canada, he has ncver seen a living potato beetle anywhere during the winter months.

Not A ‘Tariff Embargo

We often hear the statement made, that this embargo is continued against us for protection purposes. I am not of that opinion, although I shared it before my visit‘ to England. I am today satisfied, ;thnt it ls for no other purl-me than‘. to satisfy the farmer it is neces- lsary in order to keep out the beetle.

l Great Britain imports upwards of

ten mlllon bushels of potatoes a year. At least, this has been the‘? ‘average annual importation for the jpast six years. Previous to our vls- it, they imported in 1932, two mil- Jlon or more bushels from the con- tlnent. -

Acreage Not Too Largo

l It is wrong to think that we have too large an acreage of potatoes in Prince Edward Island. Our acreage today is only s’x or seven thousand Wm: more than it was previous to 1922. We have always been plant- ing from 35,1100 u: 39.000 acres. Our flcfeflKl-I in 1931 was 48,000. It averages practically from 42,000 to 45,000 acres. Of the laud under cultivation in this Province, this is a small percentage, and not foo great an area to devote in potatoes. The difference is that farmers are growing other varieties; they have heavier yields; they lrrww how to take care of the growing crop, to Pleverlt failures; the crop ls plant- ed with seed that is practically free from dlseasz; it is sprayed to keep down blight and rot and 9s a re- sult, almost all the potatoes pro- duced are sound, which, with the higher yield, makes a great in- crease ln the marketable quantity. It took years of special educa- tion to convince the farmer that it paid to fertilize, cultivate, spray and grade; ln other woi'ds,-to specialize in the growing and mar- keting of his potato crop. This specialization means they are able to put on the market, o. product that is to day looked upon as the highest standard ln America, for both certified seed and commercial potatoes. This ls the first year in twelve that it was impossble to market our crop. and it is not entirely on account or s world surplus of po- tatoes, but largely because of eco- nomic conditions. 1928 was a bad year, but we average 33 and 34 cents a bushel for our seed. That year the prices of other farm pro- ducts were good. Thls year every product \s low, and potatoes get the blame for all, which ls not fair to

With the Pound at that time below four dollars, it would mean around 95 cents for 112 pounds of potatoes, at wh’ch price it would be unwise for us to make shipments.

Difference In Grading

again. I noticed this dffiei-ence ln the grading of Potatoes in Eng- land and here. The potatoes, while not s0 free from bruises, cracks, nor so pretty in appearance, were more unlfonn ln sze. They dld, not have such a variation. We have potatoes between the two limits-that is, two inches as n. minimum and cs large as they grow, wh‘ch makes an unseemly display,

In fact, I never saw any where, fruit so well packed. and of such beautiful ap- pearance when opened, as the fruit from South Africa. stall after stall at Convent Garden, would im- press you with the care that was taken by the producers or packers in‘ having their products arrive in 800d condition on the market.

In talking with s. proprietor, he mentioned that in one of the last steamers to arrive from South Africa, there was a shipment of ten thousand boxes of peaches, and to the best of his knowledge. there was not one damaged box ln' the lot; they were all as good as the M"! We were looking at.

We in Canada have paid more attention h: the votunle than we have to any other phase of meet-

the industry. Many a. farmer has sufficient livestock to consume his crop. In th's way he markets his potatoes to advantage. Both the Department o! Agriculture and the Potato Growers’ Association, have always advocated that the farmer should keep up his quota of live- stock and poultry, particularly the dairy cow.

Incorrect Assumption

Potatoes’ have been blamed for cutting down the production of milk. We can show you this is not correct. In the year 1900, milk sup- plied to factories, was equivalent to sixty mlllon pounds. In 1905, this dropped to twenty-eight million pounds. In 1910, it reached forty- nlne million pounds. In 1913, it was again down m thlrty-eight mllllon pounds. According to the amount 0f cheese and butter manufactured in 1991, the milk supplied would be equivalent to fifty-one million pounds. Or. if we should drop back to 1921, which was at the begin- ning of our seed industry, we find the total milk, as represented ln pounds, was forty-four mllllcn.

So far as the province is con- cerned, we are producing more milk today than we d'd ten years ago, for the figures which I have given you, do not include the in- creased quantity used for lce cream. nor the larger consumption of milk used in the city now than was used fifteen years ago. I submll; we are eiway below the quantity we should be producing.

Another line of agricultural work

in whfch some specialization was given, was the development of hogs; and no one will dispute the fact that we have in Prince Edward Is- lfl-nd today, possibly as high s. per- centage of select hogs produced, as in any province or the Dominion. How was this accomplished? By Special education. Despite this 111811 011E135!’ of hog which is being marketed, the price is ridiculously 10W. and thus it is With evrey pro- duct the farmer produces. There is no industry that suffers to the same extent as does the farmer, who ls in the position that he cannot stop producing, as does the manufactur- er. To do so, would be ruinous. He cannot stop today and then start in a month's time, acccrdng to the demand for this or that product-He must follow his ro- tlflon of crops; His breeding ap- erl-Wlll-l; he dare not leave his land idle; his particular class of work does not permit a cessation, To be lax this year means probable fall- ure in the years that follow.
