WEDNESDAY, JUNE 30TH, 1915.
Our Ottawa despatehes yesterday announced the
appointment. ou the suggestion of Premier Borden previous to his departure for England, of a Commission to enquire into the general subject of production, immigration, trails- portation, markets, etc.
The Department of Agriculture had for some time been
working along these lines and the Commission referred to is a result of recommendations made by the Department. In a circular letter recently issued from the office of the Live Stock Commissioner at Ottawa, we find the following significant paragraphi-
“ The successful demonstration given in Prince Edward
island of the co-operative sale of eggs suggests the need and wisdom of extending the system now in operation to all the provinces of Canada and of its further elaboration as required by varying local conditions and in the develop- ment of iuterprovincial and foreign trade.”
We in Prince Edward Island who' have watched with
quiet incliffereiioe the work of the Egg Circles, received or piiid the regulation prices and grumbled at the price, whether received or paid, were not aware of the fact that the Dominion was watching the experiment with intense interest ami laying plans for the carrying on of similar work in other provinces. The need of such work was discovered by the experts engaged by the Department. li was discovered, among other things, that an almost incredible discrepancy existed between prices within and without the influence of the Co-operative movement. Even iii our sister provinces where marketing facilities are identical with our own the price paid for eggs, as recently pointed out ln the Guardian. was several cents per dozen lower than was being paid at the same time to farmers in Prince Edward island. A greater dlscrepency still was found in the western provinces.
To correct these differences, to enable the farmer to get
his products, was the aim of the Department in appointing
we remember that in this province, according to the last
yielding on an average five pounds of wool, a total of

lt is along lirics similar to these that the Comrhlssion
just appointed purposes working. That there is room in which to work is evident. We have, in all our agricultural
wasted more than we have saved. The purpose of the Commission and of the Government is to preveiit ivltstej

WAR SCANDAL ` N
Army scandals in time of war occur in all ages and all
countries. says nn exchange. Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities between England and her American colonies Edmund Burke wrote that many London merchants “had begun to sniff the cadaverous haut gout of lucrative war.” One ol’ the worst minor cases of the kind is now being ln- vestignted by 11 military court of enquiry, of which General Sir Veviile Lyitleton is chairman and Major Sir F. E. Smith. the solicitor-general, a member, sitting in London, The persons chieflyimplleated are a Mr. Devereux and 11 Mr. Watson, contractors for the outfittlng ot’ what is known as the British Empire Battalion. iz regiment 1,500 strong raised from the volunteer force. Huts built for the' men to winter in cost at most $75 each. but Devoreux drew 11 profit from each of $145. The clothing he and Watson furnished was condemned by a board of officers, but was nevertheless served out to the regiment, although the shirts were so thin that a witness said he easily could put his fingers through them. The bedstepds, for which the
makers charged $2.50 each, were resold by the contrac- tors for $4.75; the meals supplied were wretched in qual- ity and of a wholly exorbitant price; at one time the men fell ill at the rate of one hundred 1_1 day and some died. due to the rain pouring through the roofs of the huts and to the poor food; and so the sordid story proceeds with a scandal in which a contrsctor's wife and an officer of the regiment figure rendering lt all the darker.
in France there have been scandals principally in the
iiiipply and paymarterfs branches whereby, it iii estimated, the country lost over $3,000,000 within a month, saying nothing of the sufferings inflicted on the soldiers. ln Rus- sia, as miy be supposed, the rsscslity is declared to be widespread. The present scarcity ol’ ammiiiiltion is attri- buted to the purchase of most of the prlvste factories by

Elsewhere in this issue the E. H. Rayner Fur Company Limited makes an important aiinouucement. which we _
commend to our readers. Mr E. H. Rayner, the head of V this company, is one of the best known men in the fox 1 business. having for a number of years been identified ' with the Rayner International Fox Company as secretary- 1| treasurer and manager. His experience with this company, which has for years been an outstanding success, has given him irthorough knowledge of the business in all its phases, while his reputation as an upright, honourable and thoroughly reliable business man is s. guarantee of
straight dealing to all who do business with him.
pa.ny‘s announcement and in prospectuses, which will be gladly forwarded on application, is a most attractive one and one which, we feel assured. will appeal to the investing public. The quality of the stock held by the company and the real estate acquired are well known, the Rayner breed of.foxes having a world~wide reputation, while the F. F.

As will be seen by official notice elsewhere in this
the port of entry and, if found free from disease, the owner or consignee was permitted to take them to,his own ranch, where they were supposed to be held for a pre- scribed period for inspection. The difliculty of identifying these animals after being in the ranch for several days, needless to say. was one not easily overcome, and the possibility of being deceived was obvious. Under the present regulations the foxes are brought direct to the quarantine station at Charlottetown, and kept there for the regulation period of thirty days under the direct charge of the Dominion Veterinary Inspector, Dr Pethick. In this case. with a competent and trustworthy ranch manager and a well ordered ranch supplied by~ the Provincial Government there is no possibility of error in identifica- tion or of the introduction ofgdisease.
The move is one the need of which has long been
recognised by nil honest fox dealers and has been brought about on the suggestion of,.;promiuent fox men. The regulation insures immunity from disease and the best of care for the foxes, while at the same time it will exercise somewhat of ii cheek on the indiscriminate importation of foxes. _
