WANTED-STEADY MARKETS.

The news item in yesterday's Guar- dian, recording the continued high price for Prince Edward Island tur- nips, will be read with particular in- terest by our farmers. It is import- ant at this time that our producers

s realize the advantage of holding out for good prices. At present there is no danger of the turnip market fall- ing through delay in accepting oﬂers, but there is a risk of the market be- ing gluttaci, and in their own inter- lsls, it is suggested, our farmers should hold out for a minimum oi ﬁfty cents per bushel. As pointed out yesterday, turnips are still growing and a little frost does them no harm. With the exercise of caution and judg- ment there is no {$85011 whyasteady market could not be retained through- out ths year.

Oi importance, too. in the same "connection is the need of il0lding out for good prices in the potato market. There is every indication oi a strong market this year, and much will de- pend upon the manner in which the product is distributed. The letter, in our Forum column today. from Mr. W. D. nose, of Kinross, deserves the careful consideration of all our grow- ers and shippers. Mr. Ross’ sugges- tion oi a marketing board would, we believe, do much towards offsetting the danger oi price manipulation. The writer instances the success achieved by the Maritime Marketing Board, the Egg and Poultry Associa- tion and the Potato Growers‘ Asso- ciation. Why not, he asks, a market- ing board for table stock potatoes? Whatever serves to advance the in- terests of our agricultural producers will beneﬁt every person in the Pro- vince, and where the inf/Jtry con- cerncd is of such importance as the gntato industry, every constructive suggestion should receive th-e fullest consideration.

ALWAYS MORE RESEARCH

The report of Dr. H. M. Tory. pre- sident of the National Research Council, shows scientiﬁc research in progress in eighty-eight different ﬁelds in 1928. These ﬁelds range from tuberculosis in men and animals to the use of windmills for generating electricity, and from the storage of fruit in warehouses to the effect temperature on the strength oi cast- ings. A mere list of papers publish- Id under the auspices oi’ the council during the past ten years occupies eleven pages of the report.

Starting in llmI Canada spent $10,-

155 on scientiﬁc research. In 1918, it spent $50,111, and the amount has gone up pretty steadily. year byyear, until last year it reached $201,485. Most of the money goes for research activities and grants and for scholar- ships. Pending the erection of Na- tional Research Laboratories at Otta- wa, for which Parliament voted $760.- 000, last year. the research work is being done mostly in university lab- oratories throughout Canada. In the prairie provinces a great deal oi at- tention is being given to researches into wheat, such phases as protein content. variations due to climate, Ipil. variety. and moisture, and qual- ity from a baking point of view being studied. There are also researches into pests like fungi, insects and small ‘hmmals and into alkali soils. East- qn universities have been making with researches into algae, tuberculosis, the vulcanization oi Ifbbsr. the Ifﬂwth of structures oi lee. helium, structural welding and latte-in metallurgical processes.

‘more are a number of standing committees which ctr-operate with in. council, s committee. for instance, on

' pain research, with which the Board I Grain commissioners is ‘ t- sd; s committee on wool. which has round" that the knowledge of the chemistry. physics and biology of wool lg v-rp- iradequste: s committee on htsrxicru which is spurred on in

of

its work by the assertion from Johns Hopkins University that there are 1,500,000 per-sons alive and active io- ciay who would be dead of tuberculo- sis had the death rate from this dis- case which prevailed prior to 1900 been maintained; a committee on cereal rust which has discovered forty types of this fungus and is afraid new types are developing; a committee on engineering standards which has in view the saving of great sums use- lessly wasted in turning out needless varieties and sizes of things; a com-

the conservation of a valuable gas of which Canada has the only supply in the British Empire. There are many other committees, too, and they all have their problems. Research has be- come one of the great and vital factors in Canadian life and progress, and it is a factor which is enlarging its ﬁeld and its opportunities as it advances.

A LIBERAL QUANDARY

An Ontario exchange carries a car- toon showing Mr. Sinclair, the Liberal leader. in the double role which he has adopted for political purposes On the one hand he is depicted as telling the Prohibition Union voters of Ontario: "We'll have a plebiscite," On the other, he-is assuring Govern- ment Control supportersW-But only when the people show they want it. Meanwhile we will enforce the Liquor Control Act." The Toronto Globe has endravored to rekindle Mr. Sinclair's waning enthusiasmfor the ﬁght, but it is obvious that it, is not the,Libsrals. but the Progressives, who will do the ﬁghting for the prohibi- tion causc. Only a few months ago. when an election seemed improbable. Mr. Sinclair gave his blessing to liquor control. He had, he said, been opposed to it, but, like Paul on the way to Damascus, he had seen the light, had observed that the pOUCY was a good one. Now, aDPﬂYeYmY- he has again changed his mind, and de- clares that what he wants is a pleb- lscitc. This, suggests the Toronto Mail and Empire, is simply Mr. Sin- clair‘s method of extinguishing Pro- grgs5ivg candidates in Llbﬁfﬁl COH- stitucncics. It is doubtful if it will be taken seriously, even among Liberals. It is not the first time that a corn- ercd Liberal leader has taken refuge in a plebiscite or referendum. As the Mail and Empire says:

"For a generation Liberal poli- sicians in ofllce promised P705151‘ tlon. while they compelled liquor dealers to put up campalsn sub-- scriptions. For a 10118 time i119? found-after elections—that the constitutional power of the pro- vince over the liquor business was still unsettled, when they could no longer hide behind the constitution --thcy tcok a plebiscite. This was followed by a referendum. From boyhood Sir George Ross had been the Chief of Prohibitionisis. It was thought that the whole hops and ambition of his life was to establish prohibition in Ontario. He was the favorite orator at temperance meet- ings and the Alliance Conventions. But when at last the courts decid- ed that he had the constitutional power to prohibit the rstall trade in liquor, sir George Ross ran sway hand in hand with Mr. N. W. Howell. The failure oi the Liberal Government of that day to im- plement its prohibition pledges was one of the chief causes oi its down- fall, after holding office for a third oi a century."

Notes BlThe Way

Lord Biddsll, in John »O‘London'| Weekly. gives an interesting sketch, of Premier Ramsay MacDonald. in course of which the latter is com- pared and contrasted in brief with a number oi previous British Prime Ministers. We are told that hﬂ h" a strong resonant voice and is a ﬁne. upstanding speaker with a distinctive style reminiscent of the Scottish hills. He is a skilful debater and his orat- orlcai style resembles that of Lord Balfour. They are both kw“ o" scientiﬁc subjects. Mr. MacDonald tells that he came to politics through science and geology.

Likc the Earl of Chatham. he is I handsome man, with a nashini 98° when roused. He also has a trace of the aflectation which characterized Pitt. It is strange that the speeches of a leading politician, who has spok- en so much, so well, and for so long a period should be so little known i0 the general public. Perhaps he was right when he declared recently, “I am like one of the coral insecmwhich. build and build. and nobody knows that they are building, but lo, and be- hold, one day the work they have done comes up above water."

He stands out in strong contrast t0 his immediate predecesso n, even Mr. Gladstone. Lord Beaconsfield and Mr. Lloyd George were more or less con- ventional. Lord Beaconsfield was a romantic, but his romanticism flow- ed in the direction of pomp, panoply. and palaces; and he lacked Mr Mac- Donald's energy. Mr. Lloyd George has had a. romantic career, and has engaged in many romantic excursions, but he is not a real romantic. Fun- damentally he is a shrewd. able, en- ergetic lawyer. That is one reason why he was such an asset in the war. He saw things as they were, and not as he wished them to be, and above all, he took energetic stepato remedy defects.

No one would call Lord Salisbury, Mr. A. J. Balfour, Sir Henry Camp- bell Bannerman, Mr. Bonar Law or Mr. Baldwin romantics. They were all solid Britons, exhibiting the well- known sterling qualities thereof. with but little flamboyance.

The Toronto papers now to hand are ﬁlled with graphic accounts of the Banquet to Premier Howard Fer- guson on Thursday evening last. The Globe, in its headlines, describes it as believed to be the largest gather- irlg of the kind that ever met in Can- ada, overﬂowing the Royal York and King Edward hotels (the ﬁrst-named being the largest in the British Em- pire) with an enthusiastic and vast assemblage oi the Premier's admir- ing supporters. It was a. night oi cheering.

The Premier took his stand square- ly upon the record of his Government and what it had achieved since it came to power, ﬁnancially and other- wise. He admitted a large increase in the annual expenditure of the pro- vince, because these are required for new and expanding public services. The public accounts show the total borrowings up to 31st October, 1928, to be $393,000,000. but of this sum $33,000,000 had been invested in un- dertaklngs which are self-supporting, leaving only Q60,000,000 of real public debt. ‘~

His Government bad paid of! $21.- 000,000 oi deﬁcits left by the Drury Government and had also paid $10,- 000,000 toward extinguishing the pub- lic debt of the province, something not attempted by any other province of the Dominion.

As to the present liquor control Act, it was admitted not to be per- fect, but it was the best Act oi the kind in Canada and would be further improved from the experience al- ready gsined during the two years since it came into operation. Pro- hibition had a long trial until it prov- ed unsatisfactory, and the duty of dealing with the liquor trafllc and promoting temperance and sobriety by education and moral suasiou should be given a fair trial before it shall be discarded.

Postmaster General Vonlot is still amusing himself and satisfying the demands of his party supporters b! dismissing Conservatives from the postal service. Ho is supposed to rs- plessrlt New Brunswick. but is really another Minister for Quebec. It is more than doubtful whether Prince Edward Island would yet have had any share in the sir-mail service had it not been that tho Magdalena Is- lands m a part of Quebec Province. and the all-planes passing back and forth to the Magdalena have to fly over this province.

“A ire-man is one who dies early because a little germ or a little ex- posure can't scars a guy like him."

The above was in a humorous col- umn entitled “Isn't it the truth?"

And as a matter of fact many of our most powerful men physically have done Just that very foolish thing oi feeling that germ or exposure to extremes of weather could not affect strong men like themselves.

When the body is extremely tired and the weather is damp and hot, or damp and cold, than organisms al- ready in the body, or which get into the body from the outside, begin to give trouble.

Now it is a tremendous advantage to have s. good strong body at this time as it enables you to give the organisms a real battle. '

However the one organ that decides whether or not the battle is to be won is your heart.

If it has plenty of reserve then you will likely ﬁght 6i‘! the trouble.

During the Flu epidemic it was duly stated that this ailment attack- ed the strong and vigorous in a more deadly manner than it did those that were of poor physique; and that was why so many strong individuals died.

Now why did so many of these strong young men die?

Sometimes for the reason stated above that they were not going to let “a little germ scare guys like them," and sometimes they went about on their feet for one, two, and even three days before they finally gave in and went, or were put, to bed.

Why did so many of them die’!

Because they used up the heart “reserve” and to make matters worse. kept using the heart to keep them around on their feet when the heart needed every bit oi its strength to ﬁght the invading organisms. \

Because, as stated above, the heart does about ﬁve times as much work when you are walking on your feet as it does when you are lyins quietly in bed,

You can readily see then, that an individual who is not very ‘strong and has to go to bed sooner than the stronger one, has often a better chance than the he-rnan who refuses to go to bed. -

Don't be foolish and ﬁght of! an illness with your strong will. Get right to bed and give your heart its best chanae to ﬁght for you. It's the heart ills‘. has to do the ﬁghting.

I . MARKETING , BOARD - WANTED I

sin-We vc been informed by a Cuban write writing to the Guard- ian in the month of March that the potato growers of P. h‘. Island are themselves at fault for selling their potatoes too cheaply. The writer went

table stock imported into Cuba came from Prince Edward Island packed in ninety pound sacks. Owing f0 their

were selling from 20 to 30 cts. a sack higher than potatoes from other parts. With an increasing demand for P. E. Island stock and selling at an advanced-price for which the Ou- bans are willing to pay, the Island grower gets little orno benefit from these higher prices with such s. de- mand in a market which requires for its consumption somewhere about 80,000 sacks monthly. with this knowledge it is apparently a very Shari sishted policy on the part of those interested in the potato industry "l!" 801116 Effort should be exercised toward improving marketing methods so that growers may benefit finan- cially from the increasing demand of our Island potatoes. Our potatoes have secured for themselves an sn- vllble reputation on the various mar- kets whereever they are placed, due to ‘their superior quality. By careful cultivation, spraying etc., (m- the pert of the individual grower and subject t° 3°56 lmpeetion, we have plaoedpn the market a superior quality of po- tatoes, by which the dealer and con-

We cannot discount individual effort 111 producing an article of superior value, but to secure the higher fin- ancial return there must be CO-Opeg- ative selling on the part of the indlv. idual grower.

With such adomand in Cuba. and elsewhere for P. E. Island potatoes, it is urgent that something should be done by our Provincial government toward establishing co-opergtlyg or- ganization preventing local colnpeti. tlon. over feeding of markets, and mﬂnllmlltins market by parties who arc not interested in the welfare of We P098147 Inﬁll-NY. It should be en- ‘llillfﬂlcd that potatoes should be 5115911841 only in bags stamped P. E, mind Pﬂtatoes. as dealers sometimes pass off foreign grown stock as Is. land potatoes.

From the various meetings held in Charlottetown during the potato Shipping season last year it is ev- idently desirable by shippers and srowers that an organization resem- bling a "Marketing Board," be put into operation for the handling of the 1929 crop. It has ben realized that if~such a borad was operating last year, a good many more thous- and dollars would have found its way into the pockets of the farmers. This board would keep the growers in touch with ths latest market prices. regulate a more equable distribution on the various markets, and prevent the manipulating of the market by foreign buyers who are in the busi- ness, and all not identified with the welfare of the potato industry of P. E. Island.

The following is s. case in point:

During the week ending FGDYUQYY. 1020 cargoes were sold at 81.10 a sack C. I. I". Havana. The expenses in connection with Cuban shipments ‘in winter are about ‘l0 cfs. a sack, this would leave about 40 cts. a bag to growers. This being a low price was not out of line with prices obtainable in other markets. Within two weeks from the time these sales were made at $1.10 a group of Havana importers operating in P. E. Island, were quot- ing to other importers of Havana a price of 00 cts. s. sack C. I. I". Ha- vana, breaking down the price with- out sny justifiable reason in 20 cts. a sack, the expenses on these ninety cent potatoes being the cams as on the 01.10 potatoes. Deducting '10 cents from tbs 00 cents for expenses. it leaves 20 cents for the ninety pounds to the growers. when price is brok- cndcwntolicctmbyquotingtosll the trade it irimpossibls to make sales above that price. consequently the market ili Prince Edward Island is forced down to the same extant. ’ Wbengrowers are forced to all at tbosc ruinous prices, brought about by a group of buyers serving their own inmost; entirely, a mar- ia divided among the following auth- orities: ‘Iho Xingu; bead of the executive, represented by a Governor- Ovnsral, A Cabinet, called the Giv- crnmont, wnoss members constitute the Canadian Prlv!

keting board could do much toward

offsetting this manipulation oi prices. We have at present three organiza- tions that are serving producers with

beneficial results. '

Our Egg and. Poultry Association

has placed the egg business on a solid basis, and have

proven to farmers the real value of co-opera- tlon.

Our “Maritilne Marketing Board," although an organization of recent years, is proving itself an important factor in realizing to farmers the

highest possible market value for their livestock.

The Potato Growers‘ Association has been worth thousands of dollars to farmers who grow seed potatoes.

Why not a Marketing Board for table stock? Apparently under pres-

ent conditions of handling our pota- toes the dealer and consumer get the

greatest beenilt due towards produc-

ing a high class article subject to rigid inspection. '

Without a marketing board we will

never obtain a full financial reward
