“THE GARDEN OF THE GULF”

In 1764 the Island was surveyed by Captain Samuel Holland, who

received the King's Commission "to survey His Majesty's possessions in America as far west as the Mississippi, and as far south as the Potomac

river_" The work commenced in 1764. , '

At this time the Earl of Egmont submitted to the Home Govern-

ment a proposal which. if adopted, would have meant the establishment of Felldali-sm in the new Colony. There appeared other claimants to

the division of the land, and these claims were so persistently pressed

that the Board of Trade and plantations in Iendon decided that the

-whole nude, with oei-tain' spooinod ros3"rv3`tlli`i'i`s. should so ollottod by

ballot. On the 23rd of July, 1787, the ballots were drawn, and thus be- gan a condition of absentee landlordism which created a land question- for more than one hundred years the cause of much difficulty in the affairs of the country. By the terms of the Land Purchase Act of 1875, the tenants eventually became freeholders. and it is of interest to note that Mr. Gladstone used the Prince Edward Island Statute as a guide in drafting legislation dealing with the Irish land question.

Responsible Govemmeni

The struggle for Responsible Government ended in 1851. and

twenty-two years later the Island entered Confederation. On April 15th,

Thou'rt robed in tranquil loveliness

Ol birchcn groves and femy bowers;

Of streams that hold thc skies' caress

And fragrant wayside flowers.

No towering mountain heights are thine-

No canyons deep-no forest wild; And yet thy charms, like ancient. wine.

Arc potent, seeming mild.

‘ Or crossed thy clover-scented lea

May seek for gold in any land But wearled come to thee.

In Carden Province which Produces Best Butter and Cheese in Canada, Finest Black Foxes in the World and Supplies the Big American Market with Seed and Table Potatoes.

(By Hon. W. M. Lc‘a_, Miniilcr of /Igricllllllra)

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND offers unsurpassed possibilities to the

agrlculturalist, particularly the mixed farmer. The cost of facilities

and public services to the individual taxpayer is less than in any other part of the continent, and its free and eiiicient educational system, its excellent transportation facilities and manufacturies for the transforma- tion of raw agricultural products into finished commodities, are added inducements to prospective settlers. `

The Province has developed the spirit of agricultural co-operation

to a greater extent than'any province of Canada, and in this respect it may be classed with its greatest competitor, Denmark. It was the first

province to take up co-operative grading and selling of poultry and eggs, , and one of the first to embark upon co-operative dairying and the grad- ing and selling of wool products.

Shipping clubs are numerous throughout the Province for the sale

of live animals, and a complete organization is in existence for the pro- motion of live stock husbandry. There is also an organization for the community breeding of live stock, so that those who desire may secure the services of pure-bred breeding animals at little cost.

On account of our cool, moist climate the Island is particularly

sdspiod to tho brooding or livo stool: and poultry( Young animals inure very rapid growth and with very slight loss in raising. Due also to the
