P. E. l. Leads Again

Announced recently in the New Brunswick press, with something of a flourish, was the news that arrangements are being made, through the potato production and marketing division of the N. B. Department of Agriculture, to in- augurate a test for New Brunswick certified seed potatoes in the Southern States. The test is being carried out at the request of the New Brunswick Potato Growers‘ Council and con- sists of taking samples of New Brunswick potatoes to Florida or other Southern areas in the Ufled States for planting in October or November, which will determine the amount of virus disease——iiiosaic, leaf roll or spindle tuber-that is present.

Commenting on this undertaking, the Saint jolm Trlrgra/i/i-Jonriiril says: “The encourag- ing thing is that the leaders of out‘ vitally im- portant potato industry, which means millions of dollars a year in new money to our prov- ince, demanded and got this plan initiated. No other prozjinrt’ has rwr tried it, although the svstem has been gnccessfully‘ followed by sev- eral states south of he border, including neigl1— boring Maine."

\\'ith all due credit to the initiative of our New Brunswick iteighbors, this claim to pre- cedence, like others that have been advanced in connection with the potato industry from the same quarter, is pure poppycock, The Prince Edward Island Potato Growers Association have been sending certified seed to the South- ern States for this purpose for the past four or five years. Already a large number oi samples have been shipped for this year's plant- ing. This shipment was crated and sent ex- press to Maine. to be included in a car of Maine and other high class seed going to Florida.

The system followed by our Potato Grow- ers’ Association has been to select the best growers and take about 1,000 tubers of from 4 to 6 ounces in weight from each man's farm. When these are planted in the South, virus disease, if anv, shows up about january. If certain Islarid,growers are found to have ab- solutely cleanseed, these growers naturally get top prices, and the reputation of the whole Is- land industry is enhanced thereby. The P. E. I. Associationalso gets back the reports of these tests, which are valuable for record purposes. The tests and shipping costs are paid by some of the Association's large buyers of special seed, but the potatoes are supplied by the Associa- tion.

Worth noting in this connection is a state- ment from the comprehensive review of Prince Edward Island farm activities by Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, which appeared in Saturday’s Guardian. Mr. Shaw notes that about 96 per cent of our acreage ent- ered for certification this year has passed in- spection. “That would seem to be an unparal- elled record in the production of seed potatoes in any part of the world," he says.'"'“'"'"

First in the field in certified seed potatoes on this continent, Prince Edward Island grow- ers have maintained their lead despite all com- petition, and the above instances of their initi- ative furnish striking examples.

The Late Mr. John Anderson

Mr. john Anderson, C. A., who passed away Sunday at a green old age, though for many years Provincial Auditor, will be best remember- ed for his activities in connection with the dairy industry. He was one of the first disciples here of the late Dr. john Robertson who organized the province into mixed farming, with em- phasis on dairying. Mr, Anderson, along with the late Mr. john .\. Dewar and others travelled the province tirging farmers to follow Dr. Rob- ertson's advice, and with very happy results—- thottgh only after many years.

llis next great interest was in the cause 0f Prohibition. He, the late Ur. David Schur- man and the late Mr. john A. Dewar were the leading laymen in the campaign, the outcome of which was Premier Farqtiharsonk first Prohibi- tion law. .\lr. Anderson continued his Pro- hibition activities for many subsequent years, though latterly he admitted that Prohibitionin practice was not all it boasted to be and could be very well improved upon.

.»\s a politician, .\lr. Anderson was a Con- servative, and worked hard for his party until its Federal victory in 1911. He subsequently be- came I’rovincial Auditor and retained this position until his retirement in 193i when he was succeeded bv .\lr. hlassey.

At the height of thc silver fox boom Mr. Anderson entered actively into the industry, and along with the late Mr. Bovycr, Dr. Dewar and the late Mr. Spillet, \vas a director in sev- eral prosperous and ivell-paying companies.

Mr. .'\ll(lCl‘SOll enjoyed many friendships throughout the province, and very many here and elsewhere will mourn his demise.

Sad Reminder

It has been annbunccd that the Army training centre at Fredericton, N. B., No. 70 C. I. (B) T. C.. has been officially closed as from Oct. i. The camp facilities, nevertheless, will remain in use, u an extension of No. Z

District Depot. The buildings on the grounds will be used for the accommodation of person- nel returning from overseas for disposal.

This is a reminder that our own excellent Army training centre at Beach Grove has been closed now for nine months-dong before the war was over, and when there was absolutely no excuse for its discontinuance except that we did not have sufficient pull at Ottawa to keep it here. Upwards of 6,000 trainees passed through this centre, and in addition thousands of Prince Edward Islanders were outfitted be- fore beingisent to the military depot at Hali- fax. No other basic training centre in the Maritiines had been closed up to that time. Ours was the first, and it was done without any ex- planation. Our Island officers in charge were sent elsewhere, and bat-rack stores, training equipment and other ll Aerial were packed off to Halifax.

It was suggested at the time that the build- ings could have been utilized for- a discharge depot or other military purpose, even if training had to be discontinued. But: the authorities were not interested. This is all water under the bridge now, but it is worth remembering. Perhaps Mr. McLure, our live wire representative at Ottawa, will be able to find out who was responsible for closing our Province's only army training centre nine months before it was deemed necessary to clone them elsewhere.

It was Thomas hlann, German author, who wrote, 1n 1915: “German militarism is the manifestation of German morality. . . After a German defeat, German militarism would leave Europe no rest until Germany had re- conquered her old position.” Treitschke, whose lectures drew enormous crowds in the Bismarck era, said that the English character was un- chivalrous because the English “sought physical culture not in the noble exercise of arms but in sports like boxing, swimming, and rowing."

The explanation of the shutting dowit of dehydration plants is that London reports an increasing realization that Britain cannot af- ford to depend, more than is absolutely neces- sary, on the $ countries, and is likely to move in the direction of buying as little possible of our dollar goods. The Socialist Govern- ment will have difficulties in persuading its con- stituents to accept belt-tightening, but hard facts are hard. ltleanwhile, we in Canada have to consider how we propose to meet what may be a very grave problem.

Suppose (says The London Express) that japanesc schoolchildren in the future were to be taught that if it had not been for the atontic bomb japan would now be master of Asia, Never let it happen! Never let the idea grow up! The facts coming in reveal that japan was gasping on her knees before the bomb was dropped. It is now kitowti that of the great navv of 359 ships with which she entered the war, no more than forty-nine ships are still afloat. Her air force was grounded, her armies in Burma thrashed and destroyed. Such facts as those may seem immaterial in face of the colossal revolution which the mast- ery of the atom has created. Yet in the end peace and survival can come only from the hearts and imaginations of the people. If these are perverted by false beliefs engendering false hopes there can be no sccttrity for any living creature again. Therefore. as a beginning. let the Japanese be told the truth-not once or twice, but in season and nut—tbat their defeat

was not due to the atotnir homh, but to the faci that their evil ambitions rould not be tolerated by the world.

Whitehall was intrigued recent- ly by a gathering 1n London of three ambassadors and one 1111111;- t/ei- plenipotentiary - all from Canaua. In government circles It lndlcat/ed the increased stature of the Dominion.

The diplomats passed unobser- ved through the crowds of Piccadilly, Circus and Trafalgar Square and even if they had been known no one would have paid more than passing attention. for Canaalan unifomis, automobiles, reception centres, accents-and cigurets- are so much an accepted putt o! London that Caitaolan notables would be taken for granted.

They were, by the way, L. B. Pearson, Ambassador to the United States; Maj.-Gen. L. R. Lefieche. Ambassador to Greece; MaL-Gen. Georges P.
