Mr. Murphy who was accompanied by Mrs. Murphy has been growing Green Mountain potatoes for 25 years on his 170 acre farm at Car- leton Siding, Prince County. P.E.I.

He grew his champion potatoes. some call them spuds and some cell them "Murphy's". on sod plowed last spring. In fact that's his regii- lar practice for be follows a. five year rotation-potatoes. grain, hay and two years pasture. Barnyard manure is applied in the spring of the first pasture year, , then the land is grazed for two years. plow- ed as early as possible the follow- ing spring. hairowed with a. spring- toot-li, fertilized with 2.000a11d 2.- 200 lbs per acre of 4-8-10 applied broadcast and planted early ln June, about June 10 being the fav- oured planting date.

OTTAWA, Nov. 8 — (C?) - Dwlndling overseas markets are producing a slump in Eastern Canadian logging operations. Sources in toucnwith the industry believe this may permanently affect export trade.

Government and industrial au- thorities said today that the im- mediate result of doubts about United Kingdom purchases likely will engender a out in this winter's logging operations in the Mari- timea and probably the Gaape peninsula. lt_ will follow a drop of about Q per cent in output last year.

They added, however. that over the long run increased exports to the United States may take up some slack caused by reduced over- aeaa purchases.

lo far this autumn United King- dom orders for Intern Canadian linnbor have been few and far be- tween. Producers u! they an looking for others "from week to

of last. year's experience. United Kingdom orders were not. placed until February and then at a great- ly-reduccd scale.

"The United Kingdom delay is making it impossible for producers to plan operations," said W. J. LeClair, head of the Canadian l-umbermena Association.

He added in aninu-rview:

"Some operators took l\Cili\l\f‘Q last. year and went ahead with their cutting but. they can't. do it: again. For one thing. the small operators can't get bank financing as things are now. It looks as if

the Canadian lumber trade will look esleivhere for markets." Mr. LeClalr said prospects of

finding United States purchasers is good but it involves re-organ- lzation of tho trade which cannot be accomplished overnljht. The main difficulty is that Intern producers have been geared, so far as export business is

Dissatisfaction was expressed at last night's regular monthly meet- ing of the City Council by MHYO!‘ B. Earle MacDonald and several of the City Councillors at the loss in~ curred to the City Treasury by tho failure of the Provincial Govern- ment to give the City any portion of the liquor fines imposed I01‘ U18 violation of the Ncw Temperance Art within the City.

Cnun. M. A. Farmcr said the City ivas not. getting any portion of the fines now being collected for vio- lations of tho ‘Temperance Act within its limits. Prior to the new Act. the City recoived about two- tiiirds of all the fines collcctcd for violations of the Prohibition Act within the City. The City Police uscd io (‘o-operate with the R. C. M.

CLAIMS

Provision of a ferry service and other transportation facilities for Prince Edward Island in keeping with the letter and spirit of the Confederation pact "and interpret- ed in modern terms" ivas pledged emphatically by Hon. George A. Drew. national leader of the Pro- gressive Conservative Party. in a speech in the Empire ‘Ilheatre last night which evoked thunderous ap- plause from an audience that filled the large auditorium to its utmost capacity.

"Apart from any special under- taking which applies to Prince Ed- ward Island." Col. Drew said. "we have undertaken to build a trans- Caiiada. highway of the most mod- ern type. That undertaking applies to every Province and will include a national highway to this Province of which the ferry service will form an integral part."

part of Canada. provision will be made for the movement of pas- sengers, freight. and commodities without additional cost as a result of separation from the mainland."

Recalling his visit to the Confed- eration Chamber yesterday after- noon. Colonel Drew dealt. very fort-fully and eloquently with the significance of the inscription on the bronze tablet stating that. "in the hearts and minds of’ the dele- gates who assembled in t-his room on September 1st. 1864, was born the Dominion of Canada." He made this the theme of his whole address. declaring that it represented "an historic truth which every Canad- ian should at all times remember." and which implied recognition of provincial rights that was "just as valid and just as binding today" as when the Confederation pact was accepted.

Mrs. ‘thew Welcomed

Colonel Drew was introduced to the meeting by Hon. Dr. W..I.P. Maclvfillan, provincial Conservative leader, wil-io paid a warm tribute to the now leader's calibre, both as a statesman and a man.

An enthusiastic ovation was also tendered to Mrs. Drew. who was in- troduced by Mrs. RE. Sutherland,
