He possessed a. fund of humor as well as of sound common sense. He was a strung temperance atlvocate, and in this and other matters whith he rcgardtitl as of iiii- portance to moral welfare, was an Lllll.\PI|l\CII champion. The old-time tiirtucs of thrift and industry he regarded as of paramount value and made many effective speeches in their de- fence.

THE COST OF ANDHAL FEED

Sin-Maritime farmers, partIcu- larly In this Province, are serious- ly agltabed over the high cost of animal feed as compared with the cost In the Central and Western Provtnoesxge-rtlcularly when same 1a used for e raising of hogs, the selllng prIce of which has been set by the British and Dominion Gov- ernments at: a. figure that yields little or no pmflt. In common fair- ness. and as an actual necessity If the hog raisin Industry Is to be maintained on ll Island, some- thing must be done wlthout delay to land western Canadian grain In Prince Edward Island at prices much lower than ls now the case. ‘line latter Is a matter entirely be- yond the control the farmers

of thll Island. There la, however, another phuo of the ueetlon which rests more nearly tin our

own people.

Denmark. now ravlshed by Ger- many, has for years made a re- markable success of agriculture, pmrtlculaxly by a Government as- sisted and controlled oo-operatlve system, u. whl h Prince Edward Island ght we save Itself the cost. of experimenting by adoptln‘! Denmark's methods as closely as our loca‘ conditions will permit. Particularly ls this the case be- cause of the fact that we shall next yea: have direct. ocean transporta- tlon faculties almost. equal to those enjoyed by the nortihem European countries. also s. better chance than at, anv tlme In the past to win over the British market for bacon. ham, butter, cheese. eggs and poultry.

In Denmark most of the farms are quite small, ten to fourteen acres, and yet the people live in far greater comfort than is the case with the majority of our Is- land farmers wlth their fifty to one hundred acre farms. How do they do It? Well, In their oplnlon l-lIEll‘ land Is too precious to be used tor the growing of grain and they have made It, a practice to_ Import. same from thls country, being one of Canada's larger customers. Tlt-ey have been using thelr land main- 1y ln the ralslnp of llvestoek, iipoti which a much arger profit ls oo- talnable; not only that, but. as a result of this practice they have maintained the fertlllty of their soll In having ample suPPll°5 °l manure. '

Now. so far as Prince Edward Is- land t5 concerned. there is another feature In tihls connection and an important feature at that, v12... that. a; l, result; of years o! careful re- search work In the Canadian Ex- perimental Farms It has been prov- ed that Western Canadian grain can be laid down In the Maritimcs at. figures well below the cost of the some [ulna grown on our farms. The average farmer la not apparently willing to admit that the above Ia the case because. when he flzurea his costs. he does not include ln same o. number of over- head expense Items. wihlch never- thelegg g1‘! each year plllng up their deblta against his net» profis and wui have w be paid for some day either directly or Indirectly. I refer to such Items as the 00st of man- "vr. the wear and tear upon. mn- chtnery and Implements. the feed- ing and upk of the horses used In the grain elds. his own labour and that. of his hired man, the maintenance of buildings. fences- wells, etc. Take. 1'01‘ QXRmPlEi lille

The cost. shown by the seven Ex- perimental Farms differ chiefly in

the cost. of manure and labour. They are as follows: Ottawa $30.66 Charlottetown . 27.07 Kentville. N. S... 28,83 Fredericton. N. B. 25.99 Cape Rouge, Que. .. .. 26.40 Itennoxville, Que. 23

.. .89 The average of the above L: $27.66. which ls about the same as the Charlottetown figure. From enquiries that. I have made from many farmers and from Gov- emment employees. 1 believe um the average yleld of oats per more on this Island does not exceed 30 bushels and, If this figure Is cor- rect, the cost of a bushel of Island

double the cost of the western Im- ported grain, provided same Ls
