one of the major reasons for the new transmission line is to make this plan effective.

"1"or example. the future elect- rification of the western part of Queen's County and the eastern part of Prince County will require the availability of some large block of power west of Fredericven. and this will be obtainable from the new transmission line. The same may be said of West Prince County at some future date. if an overall plan of electrifying that district is to be contemplated.

"Therefore it is apparent that while the supply of power to the R. C. A.F. Station is the first job for the line to accomplish, the presence of this line will be one of the greatest and most effective means of promoting rural electri- fication that will have been made in recent years."

Mr. Ainsworth recalled that in 1945 the Maritime Electric Comp- any embarked on a large programme of construction involving bcth the building of rural lines and a large expansion of the generating plant in Charlottetown. Since that time 300 miles of rural lines have been built and some 2.500 additional rural homes have been furnished with electricity: so that the Com- pany now has some 4.300 rural cus- tcmers in addition to almost 4.600 in the City of Charlottetown. This total of some 8.900 customers means that the Company is now serving between 35.000 and 40,000 people on the Island.

New Lines This Year

During the present year the Com- pany has added some 120 miles of pole line in its rural custom. cm- slstimz of'llo miles of road line and I.0 miles of service lines. The road lines were built in the following districts, the figures representing mileage in each case: West Core- head 5E5: Souris East, Illa; Peters Road. 12: Kingston 11: Rocky Point. l2'r'z: Gambles Corner, jig; Branch Rrad, 11.5: Desable -'33: Ov- ster Bed Bridge. 25i: Emerald 12': Queens Arms. 1-1: Bradalbane ill: savage Harbour H5: Cardigan Fish Hatchery 1; el- lirtt it.

The Company now operates it rural xvstem extending upwards of 600 miles. and it is expected to

construct an .additional 140 miles in 1951.

Power Plant lxpanlors

As to the power plant expulsion. Mr. Ainsworth anticipates that the output. which stocd at 5.000 horse- power in 1946. will reach 20.000 horse-power by next January -when the new 10,000 h. p. turbine now be- lng erected is expected to go into operation.

During the war it was impossible to obtain needed equipment -for in- creasing the company's generating faculties. and this condition of shortage continued for some time thereafter. Nevertheless. I. heavy construction program was under- taken and pressed forward. A large new oil fired boiler and a million-gallon oil tank with all the Incidential suxiliary equipment was installed in lots and 1940. Mean- time, a 4.000 1:. w. turbo-generator was being manufactured in Eng- land and this was delivered in larf and was running by November of that year.

In 1048 another still larger boiler was ordered and installed. and put into operation by the latter part of 1949. This boiler was suitable for pulverized coal as well as oil. and a full complement of coal bunkers. conveyors and pulverizer equipment was installed.

In 1900 another turbo-generator, this time of 7,500 k. w. capacity. which had been ordered two years previously. was delivered, and this is now being erected and (as above noted) is expected to be running by the end of January. The install- ation has involved many building changes, a great amount of pipe ivork and the erection of a new pumphouse tn the Hillsboro River callable of supply 10.000 gallons per minute of water needed for con- densing purposes.

some idea'or the magnitude of this expansion programme may be gathered from Mr. AInswort.h': statement that the last turbine unit with its incidental equipment will run into half a mlliicn dollars, and this is only part of the work done during the past few years.

The general manager recalled that some two years ago the Pro- vlncial Government paved the way

by legislation. for the transmission link between Charlottetown and Summer.-idc. and he states that to” it large degree the prcgress in pm-

vinclal electrification in recent years was made possible bv a co- operative policy existing between the Provincial Government. the Public Utilities Commission. and the utilities,

orderly manner. If thire is any improvement in marketing con- ditions later as a resu,lt'of present discussions and activities of pro- ducer boards along with Govern- ment authorities. then such im- provement will be to the advantage of our producers.

"I can assure our farm people. and I am stating this from ex- perience, that everything is being done to co-relate all our powers in- to a common plan for the benefit of the ipdustry. More than this I can- not say at the present time but I would like, as a closing note in this reference. to warn our producers that there is no mysterious way of securing sufficient money to take ca.-re of the complete costs of potato production in a year such as this. Market your product stead- ily to the best advantage.' I be- How: that subsequent developments will indicate that this is a wise procedure."

Unfoullded Criticism

Noting that there has been some occasional criticism to the effect that there has been too little action in stabilising markets and in the development of a. favourable marketing policy. Mr. Shaw said:

"Any statements to this effect are very carelessly made. I be- lieve that the growers' organiz- ations. marketing bonds and deal- ers generslly are doing everything possible to move potatoes to market and protect prices at even present low levels. We must not forget that we are operating this year against extraordinary unfavourable con- ditions in both Canada and the United states as well as with diff- iculties of exchange in countries

contended with similar conditions in our past... we can quite remember that. under what was supposed to be a very efficient marketing organ- isation. one year prices went as low as six cents per bushel. In other years they were not more than half the price level of the present year. Where seasonal conditions vary and other conditions as well combine a. they have during the present season, marketing difficulties arise which are extremely difficult to improve.

"Nevertheless, I consider that as a result of organization and co- operation among all elements in the industry this year a measure of stability has been promoted in the market.

"To date we have shipped approx- imately two thousand cal-loads of potatoes from Prince Edward Is- land as against about 5,500 carloads last year. There may be a tendency to feel that by some mysterious power marliits can be abruptly im- proved or at some price support may be secured and applied which will make everybody economically happy. Price support has been ex- plored and is still under discussio . Acceptance of support involves the expenditure of large amounts of public money and any process of implement tion of support must be necessarily very slow."

Livestock Prices

The general reports presented at the Agricultural Conference held recently at Ottawa, Mr. Shaw said. were very interesting and from a broad standpoint the economic situation appears to be favourable. although from a Provincial stand- point thore are some factors that bring our economic position below that of a national average.

A report on livestock and live- stock production showed a strong trend of prices during the past season and indications are that the prices for meat during the next year will remain at a high level. The prospects are for lower market- ings of hugs in the first part of 1951 and also of cattle but a strengthening in volume at the latter part of the season. The prices in the United States for cattle have exercised a strong influence on Canadian 'prices for all classes of meats. . ' ”I'he large quantities of feeds in western Canada should stimulate an expansion in the hog industry." Mr. Shaw said. "Export contracts for the past year set at 60 million pounds at a price of 829.00 per hundred Grade A bacon. and with an added subsidy of s3.50 per cwt.. did not exceed 24 million pounds at the end of October, and it is possible that the total export will not exceed 35 million pounds for the year. There is some talk of an export contract this year of 135 millions. If such a contract is to be filled it will be necessary to increase production of hogs and lower per capita consumption of pork pro- ducts. No price has been announced up to the present time covering export.

"The high price of beef has tended to lower the total cattle popu- lation. Records indicate that calves have been sold .to a danger point in response to high prices. This could have a very serious effect on both dairy and beef producing herds and farm producers are warned not to dispose of good heifer calves that are the basis of their herd building."
