Extending it welcome to the visit- ing delegates, at the morning ses- sions, I-lon. W. H. Dennis, Minister of Agriculture, congratulated all concerned on the success of ihc convention. Prince Edward Island was particularly interested in the silver fox industry. He. cited au- thoritative statements emphasizing the need of improved quality pro-
duction. He strongly suggested that the Association consider adopting a resolution requesting
the Dominion Government to as- sist financially in solving the prob- lems of the industry,
His Worship Mayor Turner said it was a happy coincidence that this first convention of the New Year should be one so intimately‘ associated with the history of this Province. The significance of the Confederation Chamber, of the pioneer work of Messrs Dalton and Ouiton and the organization of the Fox Breeders Association were briefly referred to.
His Worship concluded by ex- pressing the hope that this would not be the last time the Associa-
tion would mect in the Island capital. Mr. J. J. E. McCngue, Alllstou.
Ont., on behalf of the visiting dele- gates, thanked Mr, Dennis and Mayor Turner for thvii- gviiizii word of welcome.

' Several Matters 0f In- terest Discussed At Adjourned Annual Session — Proposed Ferry Project En-
. dorsed.
The Charlottetown Board of Trade at an adjourned annual meeting last night went on record as "endorsing mmt heartily the proposed ferry service from Wood Ysaiids to seine suitable point in Tlova Scotia at or near Caribou." The resolution also urged that the Dominion Government "be request- rri to provide suitable terminaist" be completed by the spring of i938. and that a nuflleient annual sub- sidv be provided for such a ser- vice."
A committee consisting of Messrs Hector Compton. Belle River; W. A. McLaggan, president of thr Kings County Board of Trade. Montague; J. Walter Jones, M.L.A.. Buubury; R. E. Mutch. Charlotte- town; and Dougaid MafcKinnon, M. LA, Mt. Buchanan, was appointed to make a study of the possibilities of such a service and forward data to Hon. Mr. Dunning.
Included in those discussing the proposed service were Messrs. Hec- tor Compton, mile River; D. F. Archibald: W. H. Townshend, Rollo Bay; I-I. H. Acom, M.L.A.. Sourls; -J. M. Murley; W. A. McLaggm. Montague; L.H. Poole, Montague; RE. Mntch; R. K. Clements, Mon- tague.
In a short statement to the Board. Mr. C. E. MricKenzie quoted freightl rates on turnips to Boston from‘ Charlottetown. The all-rail rate. ho stated, was 501-’.- eents per cwt; the rate on the Farnorth was 20 cents per cwt; and the rate by rail to Saint John, N.B., and then by eastern steamshipa to Boston was S5 cents per cwt., i5 for the rail and 20 for the water haul. In December, about the 9th Mr. Mc- Kenzie thought, the railways in- troduced a wafer competitive rate of 39 cents per cwt. from Char- lottetown to Boston. He wouldieave the Board to judge his statement made at the last meeting of the Board and for which he was so severely taken to tark in letters appearing in the press, Mr. Mc- Kenzie stated. And he had made no mention of any one concern in his statements at the former pivoting, the speaker declared.
A resolution concerning abuses under the Farmers Creditors Ar- rnngement Act was discussed at some length zuid then left in the hands of a committee to study and report. to the Board. Composing the committee were: Messrs. J. H. Iiovvatt. R. L. Cotton, D. F. Arch- ibiild, A. W. Hyndman, and the President, R. R. Bell.
