Likely. that e movable cert Wlilcll

The locel branch of the Agricul- tural Institute of‘ Canada was privileged to hear en informative address on the above topic at a meeting held at Birch Court on Wednesday.

Mr. R. R. Logic, officer in charge of the P. E. I. Biological Station at Elletalle delivered a very comprehenlive address on the operation and future possibilities of the "industry. The speaker pre- faced his remarks by stating that oysters were a luxury product with demand in considerable excess of supply, therefore the main object. of those concerned with research end organization is to find some means of increasing supply. Most ell P. E. I. oysters are marketed in Montreal where the better grade ere sold on the half shell. There are from 000 to 000 oysters in e barrel end the present price re- ceived by the strippers is $20 per barrel for first grade.

At the present time there ere 2,000 acres urtder lease in- the Maritimes but average production is not high. If properly seeded and cared for each acre could produce Z5 barrels annually.

The oyster industry is still in its infancy ani mass production. using the methods of modern mechanization has not entered in- to the picture to any extent here in the Maritimes, Mr. Logic stated. The cost of production has gone up considerably in the last year or so with the result that the margin of profit is reduced to the fisherman. It costs approximately 02.50 to harvest e barrel of oysters

is et a low ebb. Only 5 men in the Merltlmes are engaged in this work and they cannot begin tn satisfy the demand. At it is not l P1910! Proposition for indivi- dilll Oyster farmers to raise their own seed. the speaker emphasised‘

that there was e great opPbrtinity -

for growers to specialise in seed prduction. A case was cited in the States of a man who mede 0250.000 in one year with seed produced on 200 acres. There is no organized seed production in Canada mch es hes been attained in the United States. France and Belgium. A sound basis for e seed industry exists irl the Maritime Provinces.

Prince Edward Island produced 10,000 barrels of oysters in i947. New Brunswick 25,000 barrels while Nova. Bcotie produced 3,000 barrels. The three principal oyster areas of the Merit-lures ere Mizamichi and Shlppigen in New Brunswick and Melpeque Bey in Prince Ed- ward Island. '

A hearty vote of thanks was ell- tended the speaker by Mr. W. N. Black.
