The lobster fishery is the only branch of our Island fisheries that is fully devciopgd. This fishery at one time was rapidly declining, through intensive fishing, and it is gratifying to learn that not only has this decline been arrested, by wise

iorcement oi the close season, but during" the last five consecutive years there has been a considerable increase in the catch.

Prince Edward Island places it in an unique position to take advan- tage of these prolific fisheries. That it has not done so before is dueto several causes:

The lack oi technical knowledge in curing and preparing the pro- duct for market and lack oi cheap and efficient transportation facil- ities haslbeen the chief factors in

retarding the development of this .

important industry.

It is gratifying to know that the former disabilities are receiving the attention of the Fishery Department. scientific instructors are now em- ployed to educate the fishing popu- lation and fish curers, in improving the pioducts_a.nd substantial pro- green is being made.

The Chlgneeto Canal would open up an entirely new avenue of oom- merce. It would bring the Southern markets 280 miles nearer to us than they are at present. It would 'ei- Iord cheap water borne freight and with more satisfactory trade relations with the United Stator. which we hope will evcntualize in the near future, could not fail to give a distinct ' petus to the de- velopment of our natural pro- ducts.

Live lobsters are shipped direct from Tormentine. Schooner shipments. through the proposed- canal, Mr. Tidmarsh believed, would reach! Boston in sufficient time. lobsters ‘ should live two and a half and even I three days provided they are in; prime condition. Live lobsters are; usually sold in advance to large concerns. In reply to further qucs- i tions by the chairman, Mr. Tid-| marsh explained the method oi shipping and keeping fresh lobsters in pound.

Commissioner Robb asked how long an auxiliary. schooner would take to make the trip to Boston through the proposed canal. The question was referred to Capt. T. G. Taylor, Charlottetown, who was present. Capt. Taylor replied "about two days.”

The following brief was than sub- mitted by Mr. Nelson Rattenbury: Charlottetown, P. E. L October 31st, 1931 The Royal Chignecto Canal Commission :- 1 Gentlemen :—

Wc beg to submit the following:

In Schedule A, Point 3, your Royal r‘ mmission inquiring into the economical details of the pro- posed Chignecto Canal, ask:

How would the construction of the propcsad canal afiectthe trade ‘of Prince Edward Island? _ What would be the probable sav-

too costly. This is evident ii we

compare rail and water rates.

The rail rate on potatoes from our Province to Montreal is l8 cents per bushel, sixty pounds.

The highest ocean rate on wheat per bushel also sixty pounds, from New York to Liverpool, in the years 1911-1914 was ‘Mo. per bushel, and the lowest rate, 4c per bushel. The rates from Montreal to Liverpool were practically the same. Our rull rate to Boston is 23c. to 25c. par bushcl in excess oi the ocean rate, at that time, from Montreal or New York to Liverpool. It may be that, from a Railway standpoint. the rates charged on our products are not. unreasonable. That does not altcr the fact that we cannot afford to pay these rates and that it is essential we secur waicr trans-

portation for our bulky products, to the end that we can compete in the consuming markets. With the! same objective , the necessity of water transportation. ,

New enterprises have been under- taken, or are under oonslderatioir for improving water- communion-l -tion. We have the new and deep"; Welland ship canal, costing up to March last. one hundred and thir- teen million dollars; also the deep- ening of the 5t. Lawrence channel between Montreal and Quebefi-

Oi the seventeen and a half mil- lion tons of Canal traffic in 1927. 'l0 per cent. was agricultural pro- ducts.

For a quarter of a century the Maine crop of potatoes, - this year estimated at fifty million bushels, - has been moved by rail. It is now announced that ten million bush- els oi that crop is to be transported from seaports in Maine by steam-' ers of the Munson Line, for New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore delivery, to supply the great At- lantic and Pacific Tea Company's chain oi stores.

In reference to the inquiry as t0 the saving of freight to our Pro- vince if the canal was opened. An answer cannot be given unless we can make some calculation as to the increased production when consum- ing markets are reached by these bulky commodities -at reasonable freight charges. The car-ferry has given us a. better service than we ' had in 1910-1914, and for that rea-

ing of freight? The chief industries of this Prov- ince are the primary industries. lAgriculture and the Fisheries. l Eighty-four per cent. of our produc- tion is agriculture. Our largest field ‘crops are potatoes and turnips. Our ‘friable soil. and our cool and equ- able climate, am favorable for the

our earlier settlers. In 1771. the iGovernor of the Colony, in his re- port to the Colonial office in Lon- don. gave two instances: ‘

"One farmer, near Charlotte- town, irom planting oi six bush- els< oi potatoes, had raised from them two hundred bushels. and another from a planting of three bushels, had raised one hundred and fifty bushels."

The Governor continues :-,

"I never met with. or heard oi, such increase oi potatoes; and as to garden stuffs, there is no coun- try that produces better.” In short, My Iord, the Island will be, in e short time, the ‘GAR.- DEN 0F AMERICA."

1n Lbs flve year period 1910-1914. previous to our car-fen-y service. our avenge yearly priidlllltibn oi potatoes was six million bushels, and the average price 29c per bush- el, and total value $1,691,000. The average yearly crop in Nova Scotia, 1910-1914, was six and one quarter million bushels. The average price 40c. per bushel, total value. $3.000.- 000. We note from these figures, the results of inadequate transporti- tion. In the five years, 1910-1914. our crop of potatoes, because oi our transportation difficulties was re- duced in value each year one mil- lion dollars and upwards, consider- ing the value oi the Nova scotia crop. This does not cover the shrinkage in value of our other sur- plus exports.

The annual report of our Depart- ment oi Agriculture ier 1930 gives our potato ercp as nine and a quarter million bushels, and a total value of $9,817,000.00, an increase of twohiiliion dollars over the yearly 08W of the 1910-1014 period.‘ The New Brunswick crop, 1930, was also nine "and a quarter million bushels. and ills total value 03.617.000.00 same as the Island crop.
