D0 You [1 Island. _‘An eminent authority, Sir J. W., Dawson,

F.R.S.C.M.G., Principal and Vice-Chancellor of

McGill University, Montreal, sa.ys:_-‘T_he_ great

wealth of Prince Edward Island consists in its fer- tile soil, and the preservation of this in a productive state is an object of imperative importance. The ordinary soil of t`he Island is a bright, red loam, pass- ing into stiff clay on the one hand, and sandy loam on the other. Naturally it contains all the mineral requisites for cultivated crops, while its abounding in peroxide of iron 'enables itrapidly to digest organic manures, and also to retain well their ammoniacali products. The chief natural manures afforded by the Island, and which may be used ‘in addition to the farm manures to increase the fertility of the soil, or restore it .when exhausted, are-(1) Musselnvud, or oyster shell mud of the bays. Experience has proved this to be of the greatest value. (2) Peat and marsh mfud and swlamp soil; These affords organic matters to the run-out soil, at a very cheap ralte. (3) Sea~ weed, which can be obtained in large quantities on many parts of the shores, and is of great manural value, whether fresh or eogiiposted- (4).FiSh Offal- "_l‘he heads and bones of .co __ _are ihore especially of much practical importance. (`5') Limestone. The brown earthly limestones of the Island are of much yalue in affording a supply of this material, as well

some %ortioi;1s of old England. The people, too; are i - more ng is in appearance than those of any otiher ,, of the provinces with the exception of New Bruns- “ Island wick. This is probably owing to a cooler climate, and the contiguity of the sea._ Prince Edward Island is covered with a so'i'l that is easy to cultivate,' sound and healthy, capable of giving excellent crops

df roots, grain and grass, an honest soil that will not J I l I ' _ S

fail to respond to the skill of the hu'sban‘d`inan. The Island grows very good wheat, and probably better

oats than most other pai‘ts of the Dominion. fOf the ' ‘

former the crops are from 18 to 30 bushels, and the latter 25 to 70 bushels pei' acre. Barley, too, makes "

_ a very nice- crop. Wheat, at the time of-my visit, ` ' was worth 4s. per bushel of 60 lbs., oats 1s.~9d. per a , bushel uf 34 ies., and buriey 25. od. eu ss. per bushel

of 48 lbs. The Island is noted for its large crops of excellent potatoes, which not uncommonly foot up to 250 bushels an acre of fine handsome tu‘bers.

Swedes make a fine crop, not uncominonl_v reaching'

_ i _ I 750 bushels per acre of sound and solid bulbs.’
