As a means of setting standards of perfection the Royal Winter Fair Slilnds in a class by itself.

To not in the money at this F.iii- is an achievement, to win is an indication of outstanding ex- crllenrr.

P. ij. i. exhibitors in hogs, cat- tie, potatoes, and square dancing have iircn extremely successful in plibiit-i1.in;z what. the Island pro- IIUCPS and in bringing honor, both lo themselves and the Province.

The TPSLIILS obtained in live hogs and dressed ones are to say the least, tliificult to reconcile. The Jlldglnl: of a carcass is a matter of mmisiirt-mcnt in comparison with ccrlain standards.

The dot-ision in the live animal tlnpcnds upon the Judge's inter- ploiaflnn of conformation stand- nrrls lll1lCll may or may not be re- Irllrd to the commercial value of the animal.

Cm-lziiiily a judge who has been hroiizht up to believe that a heavy hrint-ti. short snouted, hog is de- sirable may find it difficult to

stomach the refined Island pro- dut'. NtliiiIIi0I(lSS, the proof of the

p-itltlm: is in the eating. Federation Membership

when the Island Federation was reorganized in 1950 farmers be- ramn nirmhers by signing agree- mr-nts which remain in force un4 til Fantirllrifl or by payment of the 5300 in cash.

lncliidt-tl in the latter group were miny who apparently took a ciianco and gambled 53.00 for one .l'rar with the primary object of llilavinu the Potato Board estab- siicii.

A farm organization cannot. flourish or do effective work if lillillnrtnd only for one year. and xootl fmncrs realize that farming is .1 long range proposition and that nxiuy years must be added togcliicr to show much evidence of DIOKIPSS.

It the Federation is to remain "lens and effective it must have the continuous interest and sup- Port or its members over a long Wind of years. .

We heard one man make the llillomrnt that he would join the Fetlrmtinn if guaranteed a dollar and ii half per bushel of potatoes. This ix mild appear to be stretching the ricmnnd on 53.00 pretty far.

While it is important and nec- essary for officials to bring in- formation to those meetings it is far more' important that the members present make their ideas and suggestions available to the offic .

Collectively, the ideas of Island farmers add up to quite a. total and if properly harnessed can be the means of solving most of our problems. .

Upon the fifteen new directors appointed falls the responsibility of bringing new life and energy into the organization.

Potato Prices

It is generally recognized that even those most experienced in the potato business realize how dangerous it is to risk your rep- utation as a prophet. in predict- ing what the future holds.

The statement released in Wed- nesday's Patriot by one of the biggest of our potato exporters may possibly be correct, but the statement in itself will quite like- ly have the effect of aggravating an undesirable situation.

The prediction that prices will go still lower if believed by the growers will cause an additional rush unto the markctand make it still more difficult to hold prices at reasonable levels. ,

The statement may be correct. but it cannot possibly do any good and will likely do harm to the grower. Benefits. if any. would be only to dealers who gambled on prices being lower and made com- mitments to fill orders on tha basis.

Strange But True

To reach the pinnacle of success most people have to go up the lad- der, one rung at a time. Those that find themsewes famous over night are as hard to find as the proverbial needle in the proverbial hay stack. But the plugger can reach the top providing he is not too easily dia- couraged when he runs into the hundred and one difficulties and adverslties that are a part of the game we call life.

The unknown who won the Pul- itzer prize for playwrlting this year is 44-year: old, lived in- near slum flat, had been trying for 17 years to arrive. Name: Joseph Kramm. The prize winning play: The Shrike.

It took Kramm 17 years to make the grade. He now makes 52,000 a week iri royalties, and he may get another 5100.000 from the film.

Half of our troubles come from wanting our own way. The other half comes from.ge.tting it.

A country clergyman, calling on one of his parishoners in Queenie County, asked for the family bible. so that he might read a. few pl!- ssges of Scripture before he left. The head of the household sent his younger son, Billy, on the errand.

"Quick, get the Bible, Willy. You know that big book we all read so much."

Farm Prices & Market Report

Following are excerpts from the weekly marketing report, of the Provincial Departmcnt of Agricul- ture, prepared by Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Agriculture:

Livestock Livestock prices are mostly steady with last week, although

Charlottetown cattle are revised upward from 51.00 to 51.50, which leaves them more or leu in har- mony with the Moncbon prices. Hog prices have not changed, with Grade A 526.00 at Moncton; No. I sows 18.00 delivered, and at Char- lottetown 25.00, and 17.00, country points. steers delivered at Mone- ton are Choice 22.00, and extend- ing all the way down to 10.00-12.00 for common. Cows are 11.00 for good, and down- to 10.00 for com- Good bulls are 1300, down to 11.00. -

Charlottetown Choice steers are 21.00; good 20.00, and down to 10.00-11.00 for common. Cows are 12.00 for good, and down to 9.00- 10.00 for common. Bulls: 13.00 for good, and down to 800-1000 for common. Sheep at Moncton are 7.00, and down to 2.50 for com- man, and at Charlottetown 7.00 and down to 3.00 for common.

Lambs are 17.50 for good; 42.00 for rail grade at Moncton and Charlottetown. Quotations at Char- lottetown on calves are 20.00 for good, and choice, against 19.00- 2000 at Moncton. Common at. Cliarlottetown 12.00-15.00 against 1.00-12.00 at Moncton.

Feeds

Peed prices have strengthened in some respects since our last broadcast. No. 1 feed cats in car- lots, delivered, is 52.93 3-4; barley 53.18 for No. 1. and hard to get; wheat 52.93 for 'No. 5. Retail prices on oats, whole and bagged, are 53.25, with bnrleymeal, bagged, at 53.55. Sack wheat in carlots is 53.30; oats 53.12; and barieymeal 33.35. Very little local grain is offering, and the price seems to range anywhere from 30c-95c per bushel. Hey is off, and delivered at Charlottetown is in the vicinity of a strong 515.00 per ton.

Potatoes

The market situation today on potatoes is not as attractive as it was a week ago. There seems to be a. feeling that the market is somewhat over-loaded, and that is to be expected with the large quantities going forward.

During the past. week 391 cars have been shipped by rail, and the water shipments have also been heavy. This constitutes one of the heaviest movements in our history.

The bare market has been over- taken, and the situation is a bit overdone. Montreal and Toronto are definitely weaker in tone, and there is a lack of interest There is some suggestion that there is too much consignment shipping into these markets, and this could very definitely have a. deteriorating in- fluence.

The seed market to the United States is also somewhat weaker. but not to the extent of the Cana- dian centers far tablestock. There is some suggestion here too, and this comes from the Potato Mar- keting Board. and also from a number of reliable dealers, that there is some price cutting in United States centers: and there would seem to be definitely no justification for this. If price cut- ting is being practised it should be handled very firmly, and those who are responsible for lowering prices should be required to make an explanation, and proper meas- ures should be taken to prevent a repetition. Farmers should de- mand that priccs should not. go lower than conditions and regula- tions justify. .

With general production across Canada and the United States as indicated in last week's figures, the whole potato marketing prob- lem should be supported by all who are involved in marketing machinery and if this is done a healthy market should prevail throughout the whole season. The over-all picture is reasonably good, If everyone plays the game hon- estly and gives full support to the market.
