"It has been said we have a lim- ited market for turnips. but that is not so,” said Mr. R. E. Robinson. Chief of Fruit and Vegetable Service, Ottawa, in an address be- fore an assembly of pa d cers. shippers and buyers. in the Prince of Wales College hall yesterday. ”We have a competitive mar- ket. however. which calls for a selective quality of product, more than ever before," Mr. Robinson added. "It is the policy and de- sire of the Department 1 repre- sent. to help in every way to achieve that end. We know full well however. that a meeting of this kind can give the Department direction and prove most helpful in many ways."

Grading must be done according to size, and maggot infection. Un- fortunately there is no known control forrthis infection yet, al- though experiments in this re- spect are constant. the speaker said. The Department of Trade and Commerce has channeled to the Agriculture Department many enquiries from the United states of firms wishing to establish con- tacts with turnip producers or dealers in this Province.

"Most of you will recall," con- tinued Mr. Robinson. "the great' impetus given the potato business with the United States .after a survey of the situation and pos- sibilities there had been conduct- ed. and I am convinced that a similar survey, made in the inter- est of the turnip business. would

been called by the meeting to preside, thanked Mr. Robinson for his attendance and interest, and then called upon Inspector But- land of New Brunswick who stat- ed that for nearly 20 years turnip shipments from that Province to the United States had been prac- tically nil. ”However,” said In- spector Butland, "I know there is a substantial demand in the Un- ited States and Canada for a un- iform grade of high class Island turnips, on a paying basis for quality production."

Mr. C. E. Shaw. retiring district inspector for this Province, ex- plained the difficulties which had been overcome in getting a good grade of eating quality turnips in production. when unfortunately the turnip maggot took possession and started a great. deal of trouble. ””This meeting of growers, ship- pers and members of the impec- tlon service is designed to place the situation squarely before all conccrncd." Mr. Shaw said. "It is my belief that the grower is really the man who can do the greatest part in improving the industry. His wort; resily begins a year be- fore planting, when soil and seed selection is made. Spraying has .bcen the answer in Ontario and I ibelieve that to a great extxent. it .is the answer here.

"The eating qualities of Island turnips is superior. and I believe lthat proper seeding and growing .Wll1 ovcrcome the maggot situ- iation and be followed by the pro- duction of a quality turnip good enough for shipping, rather than the indifferent product now divert- ed to stockfeed."

Suggests G

Mr. Shaw urged that all con- iccrned, particularly the growers, lglve serious consideration to the formation of a Turnip Growers Association. and Chairman Mac- Leod added that he would be glad to call another meeting with this object in view. at an early date, if requested to do so.

Mr. Ernest Reid stated that in- fectation is not as marked this year as for the past few years. due to the dryness of the season. It is quite bad even today in light soil. In heavy soil it is really Just start- ing now. The infection is en- gendered in May where the soil is light. and the last of July and early August in, heavy soil. Sprayinif has been effective in some places, while in others it has been useless.

It was pointed out that a survey of areas was important and that the Laboratory should be contact- ed. If a start is made early in a dry season, little damage will fol- low. Damage is vital if attacked at about 2 inches. while little dam- age is caused when is or 6 inches has been reached. (Three Weeks spray will kill the present gener- ation and the future is not then difficult.

Weights Unsatisfactory

Mr. George P. Thompson drew attention to the situation with re- gard to weights which varied al- together too much. some weights were scaled at 60 lbs. and others as low as 35 lbs. "This is Very ,unsatisfactory." he said. 'iWa can .never build up the business on long or short weights. We should have central grading and weigh- ing to maintain a high standard of quality, Just as is the practice

Inspector Ralph E. Les ex- plained that the drift of females when they emerged from the

ground. was towards the nearest turnip field, with a definite tend- ency. however, to follow the pre- vailing wind. They lay eggs up to October 20th.

Many other interested growers. dealers and shippers took part in the discuss on. all of whom expres- sed apprec ation at what is being done. and with the information de- veloped at the meeting.

Premier's Remarks D

Premier ".7. Walter Jones gave a brief resume of the history of the Province, tracing its development from early times.

It was the fisheries. the Premier emphasized. which first brought people to this Island. and much of its early history had to do with the fortunes of men like Pierre de Roma whose success induced the envy ofithe people of Boston who burned him out at Brudencll. It is in the fisheries that much of the hope lies for future prosperity. In iliis connection the Premier spoke of the new draggers and said that what was needed is more invest- ment capital.

"In agriculture our farmers are always on top in quality product- ion." Premier Jones continued "They have been held down.chlef- ly because of lack of transportation to markets that should be served .by trucks." He said it was amazing to sea the response of Island farm- ers to the Government's request for first quality products to supply the markets close at hand.

expressed his pleasure at the doc ion of the Commonwealth delegatento include this Province in their itinerary. "for Canada. like all great civilizations, has arisen at th.e seashore."

WINNIPEG. Sept. 4 - (CF) - Western agricultural sources said today the Federal Government may consider changes in the pre- sent beef support price program.

This was indicated following a lengthy conference here late yes- terday attended by Agriculture Minister Gardiner and Manitoba agriculture and livestock officials.

Although no official statement was forthcoming from the closed session. there was general agree- ment the present poilcy needed bolstering if it were to prove ef- fectlva'during the heavy fall mar- keting months. .

Mr. Gardiner said the present program will remain in effest until Sept. 30 "at least", and if any

changes are to be made these will

be announced within "two or three weeks." In an interview following the

meeting, Mr. Gardiner said:

I. Shipments of Canadian beef to Britain will not be resumed un- til "about the end of October."

2. Government purchases of sur- plus beef will be continued after the Canada-United Kingdom beef contract has been filled.

3. Canada is examining the pros- pect of selling beef in one form or another to countries other than the U. K.

4. It is unlikely that talks lead- ing to the removal of the present U. 8. beef embargo will be re- sumed in earnest until after the U. 5. elections in November.
