--To my mind." said Mr. Reid, "there is a function for a strictly promotional board. I have in mind such things as freight rates, tar- rifs. etc, and looking after the general promotion of the industry. But selling is an entirely different proposition."

which he said begins in June and ends in August, and is strictly an early market proposition. 95 per- cent of the, seed used, he said, came from P. E. I.

In the question period Mr. Wil- fred Dunn. of Alma. asked Mr Reid what his fertilizer plan was and was informed that last year Mr. Reid put out 3175.000 worth of fertilizer through i his agents in the country and realized a gross profit of 1 U2 per cent.

Other speakers included W. B McLellan, Howard Gavin, Fred Bingham. Summerside dealer, J. B. Thomas, Cascumpec, Everett Hudson.

Board speakers say the reason you are not getting a true market price for your seed is because somebody sold it last spring. Now he is not telling the facts, or he doesn't know them," he said. Mr. Reid stated that Long Island, with an acreage equal to that of last year. are selling in Florida at a price so low that Prince E&in'.l.u Island cannot compete.

Referring to the domestic mar- ket he said this has strengthened somewhat in the last few days in regard to table stock. Maine 50's were setting the price for P. E I in Montreal. "Wa have to tag along with the market. We ti. dictate it. Last spring when we had one desk selling from April lst to June lst we tagged along more completely than we ever had done in our lives before," he said.

Last spring when competition was completely eliminated in the Province the price was still gov- emed by the New Brunswick price. and the P.E.I. price was kept at an srtificsl level above the market at times while cars' piled up on

Let's Talk It UNI

Q?

Many people miss the old polit- ical meetings on Prince Edward Is- land when speakers of both parties were on the platform, and both sides of an argument were thrash- ed out to the accompaniment of considerable heckling from mem- bers of the audience which natur- ally included adherents of both parties. Much of the excitement and entertainment is missing now when only one side is presented, and only rarely are any of the points challenged.

Yes, heckllng carried to a cer- tain limit makes a public meeting sparkle. Sudden questions present- ed to a speaker on the platform challenges his powers of rebuttal, and there were speakers who could handle such lnterjectory questions with considerable skill. It was a battle of wits with the speaker be- ing placed under a handicap which his powers of oratory and quick thinking helped to offset.

I-Ieckling can be carried to an undesirable extreme. however. When a speaker is heckled and in- terrupted to the extent that he is not able to continue his address, the procedure becomes undemo- cratic.

One of the things that make us proud to be Canadians is the fact that a speaker can stand on a street corner of any of our towns and cities, and preach a doctrine which is repugnant to ninety per- cent of the citizens, and yet. as long -as he stops short. of sedition, he is permitted to have his say. and protected against interference or insult. This is one of the crowning glories of our democratic way of life.

ALGIERS, North Africa -(Reu- ters-French security police fan- ned out over the wild. hilly coun- try of Algeria Tuesday as the gov- ernment cracked down after a savage outbreak of terrorism.

Already 1,000 French reinforce- ments have landed in the North African territory. Terrorists Mon- day struck at police and military posts in commando raids. At least eight persons were killed and 10 wounded gin the fights.

Armed guards Tuesday patrolled the streets of Algiers and guarded public buildings. Police and army trucks covered possible danger points.

Only minor incidents were re- ported during the night when ter- rorists tried unsuccessfully to set three buildings on fire. But the terrorists still maintained pressure on Arris and two armed French columns had to fight their way into the village.
