Large display advertisements have already been published in leading American produce papers by the Committee, featuring Island pota- toes‘ and turnips. The booklet now issued will be excellent supple- mentary publicity. It represents the first organized to ad- vertise Island certified tubers, and the text and illustrations make a strong appeal to growers and buyers everywhere. The illus- trations include colored reproduc- tions of the new P. E. I. potato bag crest and certification tags.

The hay crop was'equal to last year's and was of better quality Our fanners should be careful not to sell themselves short as after two such bounteous years we might. following the law of aver- ages. run into a short crop in 1950.

The Government Support price of 59c per pOllnd for No. 1 Grade but- ter was not high. when one con- siders the advancing cost of laibor and supplementary feeds; but the storing of the summer surplus in modern cold sinreges has had and will,‘have during the season of short supply a. very wholesome stabilizing influence. This surplus is not an abnormal one, and is held. not as in swne past seasons by private speculators. who could hold it off the market and make large profits on the seasonal ad- vance in price.

Exceptional Grain Yields

' Grain. particularly early bowls crops gave exceptional yields. We have reports of upwards of sixty bushels per acre being thrashed and the average is well above forty. The sowing of rye or other grain as an after harvest crop. on steep hillsides or only early harvested‘ potato fields seems to be Bflllllng in favour. This is one of ways to combat loss of top soil by washin with fall and winter rains and wlil also add humus if plowed under next spring.

The burning of straw after threshing seems to be getting all too common a practice. Our sandy soil needs all the vegetable mat- ter we can incorporate irsto it and when this stre/w is spread about as a top mulch protects the land from drying winds. None-of us can ef- ford this wasteful destructive

practice. Record Turnip Crop

‘rumipe will be a record crop. Many of the early sown will have grown much too large for shipping. The bulk of our turnip crop has always been grown for cattle feed. 1e has helped to balance our rat- ion and has added variety and suceulence to our winter livestock feeding. - ‘ '

Principal _Fr_onlr Moc- iiinnon of P. W. C. Guest Speaker.

Miss Mabel Maiheson, president of the City Teachers’ Institute, presided at the annual meeting which convened in Rochford Square School Friday. OctoberJ at 0 a.m. The minutes of the previous meeting were read by the secre- tary, Miss Mary Moran.

The following committees were appointed:

Nominations — Mr. Austin Ken- nedy. Rev. Sister St. Helen, Miss Louise Hessian.

Resolutions — Col. L. T. Lowther, Miss liiidgflrown. Miss Minnie MacKay. t

Press — Mr. Reginald MacDon- ald, Miss Christine King, BA. The wesident then gave an ex- cellent and comprehensive report of the year's work in which she stated ‘that LieuL-Cmdr. Wilfred Inman had been appointed as part time physical instructor for the four city schools. and that better terms for sick leave bene- fits had been arranged. Also the City Teachers‘ Pension Fund has been enlarged by a more satis- factory dollar for dollar agree- ment between the teachers, the School Board and City Council. The Salary Committee was commended for its work in the past year which resulted in in- creased supplements to salaries.

Educational Program Urged

Miss Matheson urged that teach- ers sponsor an educational program as a teaching group and suggest- ed that this group could sponsor a series of lectures by distinguish- ed Canadian lecturers which would be of benefit to all citizens. More frequent meetings of the Institute and the development of a stronger sense of unity were ad- vocated.

Mr. Malcolm MacKenzie, B.A., chief supervisor of schools. was called upbn to address the meet- ing. He reported on the extension of the supplement to the course of studies and on the changes and prospective changes in texts as well as in the curriculum. l-Ie explained how subventions from the government reduce consider- ably the price of texts.

Mr. Claude Campbell, chairman of the salary committee gave an excellent report of the work of this committee during the past year.

Dr. Shaw's Address

Dr. L. W. Shaw, Deputy Minis- ter and Director of Education, the next speaker. was congratulated by the president on the recent honor conferred on him of being chosen president of the Canadian Education Association. Dr. Shaw dealt briefly with departmental matters, and announced that the Department had succeed- ed in obtaining sick leave of fif- teen days for all teachers, on the presentation of a doctor's certi- ficate or a certificate from the chairman of the Board of Trustees.

Ho then reviewed the history and activities of the Canadian Edu- cation Association which recently met in Fredericton. The work of a research council appointed in i938 gave new life to the associa- tion. In 1942 Principal James of McGill did a preliminary survey of education across Canada and Newfoundland. A preliminary study of the teacher situation in Canada was done by the Lazerte Committee in i948 and the second Lazerte Committee report was the highlight of the recent meeting.

A very comprehensive report of the year's activities was submitted by Mr. J. A. S. Williams, general secretary of the P. E. I. Teach- ers‘ Institute.
