Facilitating the exchange of in- formation on problems or agricul- ture pertaining to Canada and the Old Country and advising on 'itinerarles of agricultural visitors were among his duties, stated Dr. W.E. Darke, Agriculture adviser to the British High Commissioner in Ottawa, in speaking before the Rotary Club of Charlottetown yes- terday. Chairman of the meeting was R . Manning.

Dr. Darke explained that he was somewhat more fortunate than his other colleagues in the diplomatic service in that his duties enabled him to get around the country and see conditions for himself and talk with people. He pointed out the "technical" reporting required in carrying on this relationship. between the two countries.

The meaiker emphazied the dif- ficult period of adjustment now lining on in United Kingdom where there was a big population on a small area of land, and it was necessary to produce as much as possible. The Country would never be self-supporting agriculturally. but it was necessary to explore eyery avenue of production, he stat- e .

people were rationed weekly to two ounces of butter and five ounces of margarine and that even in this case there was only five per cent home butter production. In potato growing and milk production alone were they self-supporting. He stated exchange experiments in blight free potatoes were carried on and found that these supposed- ly blight free varieties here were not wholly blight resistant in the Old Country,

He spoke of the valuable liaison work of his department in regard to finding markets and advising on suitability oftmachinery. export of seed and veterinary prepara- tions. etc. He mentioned the value of the exchange of information between the countries in the "Foot and Mouth" disease outbreak last year.

Island Odds And Ends

A

War and its ruinous aftermath have not apparently killed the in- itiative and will to work of the hard-headed Dutch people.

In the past five years more than a hundred Dutch emigrants have come to this province and have proven themselves reliable, intelli- gent, highly respected workers. There have been few failures and some of the newcomers have been remarkably successful in shaping new careers.

Young and old. the Hollanders display drive and singleness of

even in face of the dl1Ierencc in language and financial handicaps.

Less than a year a seventeen year old Dutch boy alighted from the Borden train at Charlotte- town. fresh from the European crossing. In crisp grammatcal English he made himself known to the people who awaited his ar- rival. "My name", he said, "is wil- llam De Vrles, and I am glad to be in Canada."

His final destination was the farm of Albert Acorn, on the Sev- en Mile Road outside of Cardigan.

Billie De Vries was given a meal in a private home before he continued on to Cardigan, and those who shared it with him were startled by his eager curlosity,and his evident keenness to make good in his new home.

They asked him about his com- mand of English, and received the

it was no, surprise that the Dutch youngster quickly made good at farm work. and almost immediately took a share in the social activities of the commun- ity. He worked steadily, became I.-i(iiler and more sturdy-and stud- 9

Next September he will enter Mount Allison University as a divinity student. and there is no doubt atall that the youngDutch- man will leave college with his degree.

He was very fortunate in having as an employer. Mr. Albert Acorn of Cardigan, and more so perhaps in coming under the care and guidance of Mr. Acoi-n's widowed ,motlier.

If anybody is more interested in young De Vrles' progress than the lad himself, it is the Acorns who provided him with all the care and attention of a. real home.

Mr. Albert Acorn will be. more easily identified by Islanders as the secretary of the Dundee Plow- ing Association which conducts the very successful plowing match held annually.

some of the by-pass trout ponds have partially broken away dur- ing these latter weeks of mild win- ter weather. Best known of those which have suffered from the surge of flood waters is the Jordan pond at Bristol Lot 40 Several times during February the stream which feeds this pond. swollen by heavy rains. has poured a torrent of water against the earth-work dam, gradually weakening it. Through the weak spots the water has for- ced passages from which about half of the normal pent-up pond has escaped. The damage is re- pairable, but the problem remains

aipt. name. is Gabriel's trumpet, a species of the datura, whose frag- rant greenlsh-whlte, waxy flowers might very well serve as trumpets for the angels. They hang grace- fully pendant froim long, thin stems, and the slightest breeze serves to set them in motion like so many cathedral bells.

Crepe myrtle is the semi-tropical equivalent of our northern lilac; in' fact it greatly resembles this plant in both shape and size.

One could go on and on, naming other lovely flowers of the south- ern gardens, such as the glorious flame vine. a cousin of our own trumpet vine, and of the same color. It will trail over anything, even telephone poles, and it has a tendency to skip from a roof to a nearby tree. or to the house next door. There are fragrant flowers in these far away gardens and it is pleasant re"ci'n: of them at this time of year before our own love- ly flowers come in spring. ,

Today on March 17, all who can boast. of a. drop of Irish blood in their veins will be a-wearln of the green. For it is t. Patrick's day. dbserved in honor of the patron saint of Ireland. One day, in the course of is sermon on the hill of Tara, he stooped and picked a stem bearing three leaflets. With this be illustrated the doctrine of the Trinity. so impressed were his 1isteners,that they accepted Chris- tianity then and there. Just what plant this holy men used nobody can say today. It may have been any of the numerous trlfoilate species native to the island.
