Two centuries ago Voltaire said "He who makes .wo blades of grass grow in place of one renders a service to the Nation." The job of the Provincial De- partment of Agriculture and its Affiliate. the Fed' eral Department, is something like that-to assist our farmers in a program that will tend to produce more than ever before (to make two blades of grass grow in place of one) and, by so doing, to bring in- creased wealth for everybody.
There has been a revolutionary change in Agri- culture in Prince Edward Island in the past number of years. As much hay is grown on one acre of land today as was produced on ten acres some years ago -(actually ten blades of grass grow in tube place of one). The same increase is evident in our gfam crops and the up-surge in the production of potatoes (the estimated gross value of which was over elcvcn million dollars in 1954) is a well known story.
We are acknowledged to have the best bacon hogs on the continent. our dairy cattle have made world records for production, our beef cattle have competed and won against the best. our success in sheep is gradually becoming more apparent, in dres- sed poultry we carry off the top prizes at the Royal Winter Fair and egg production is excellent. A new processing plant, which will operate with Govern- ment" assistance, will require 3000 chickens a day. The Live Stock story is an impressive one and get- ting better as the years go by.
All these things have helped our farmers and strengthened the economy of the Province.
Some of the highlights of our hard-working. though unspcctacular. Provincial Department of Agriculture, drawn from the annual report. are set forth here as a matter of public information.
EXTENSION SEI1.Vl(.'E8 -- In an effort to become intimate with problems facing farmers the Department of Agriculture in the last few years has increased the staff on extension work. has reorganized the work on a county basis. and baa recently open- ed an office in Summerside. Specialists in the fielda of horti- culture, agricultural engineering. poultry. and field crops have been engaged to augment the services of the county repre- sentatives, and Women's Institute Branch.
Besides their regular field work. the staff carries on the important work of training and interesting boys and girls in farm life. This work, carried on through the National 4-H Club Movement. with a membership of over 1.500 boys and girls.
