Oiii‘ coiresponileiit, Mr. J. I). l.ivii_ig-|

stoii, whose letter on the potato situationi appears elsewhere in this paper, takes a somewhat skeptical view of the represent-_ ations made through the press with refer-,‘ ence to the quantity of potatoes in the Un-' ited States and Canada. He assumes, that the motive behind these represcnta - tions is "to cut down prices, tliereby oblig-, ing the fariner to have to dispose of his po- tatoes at a loss." It is to be regretted that any one should take this view of the situa- tion aiid we feel quite sure that the view is not shared by inaii_v of our fai'iners.

Speaking for the Guardian, the aim oi,

the press has been to place the situation fairly and authoritatively before thc peo-\ ple, and so enable them to decide`for them- l seles whether to sell or to hold for higher prices. The Food Control I?»oai'd thorough- _ ly caiivassed the situation last fall in the United States and (_`-anada and aniiounceci p that there was more than a suflicieiit quaii- _` tity of potatoes on hand to supply the mar- I ket in botii countries. The Board express- -_ ed the opinion that it would be inadvisablf i to hold potatoes until Spring in the hope oi' getting still higher prices as, owing to the ~ known quantities on ha.id it was iniprob- i able that prices shoulil increase. The _advice it of the Food Boaril was to feed the market “ steadily, to avoid shortage and abnormally inflated prices and also to avoid gluttiny ‘V the market and so causing ai slump. Thi ‘T continued interruption in traiisportatior_ ._ during the winter caused shortage at the ` principal centres with the result that pi'ic- es ruled abnoi'mall_v high in the larger cit- I ies. It was pointed out by the l"ooil Contro Board and through the press that the pric- ` es ruling during the period of interruptei transportation could not possibly be main- tained in the Spring when the railways ti " all centres would be available. The pres: placed thesematters fairly and fully bef.o.i-1. the public and if' Spring prices do not come up to t-lie expectations of those who helcf in expectation of a further rise, it is scarce- ly_fair to lay the blame upon the press.

Looking over the market quotations

since last fall it will be admitted by all that potato prices maintained a reinarkablt p steadiness in view of' the conditions. This li steadiness is unquestionably due to the fact i that the Food Board, through the press y kept the people thorouglily posted on prices both at lime and abroad. li' _ Potatoes are iio\v being rushed to the " market. The price, as we write, ranges around sixty cents, and wearc inforined that there ai'e quantities ill in store .1 throughout the province. llast fall the 1,

'JZ ,Q

price ranged around 'Io and 80 cents, but ,

a great many refused to sell, at this price hoping for higher figures in the Spring I l"i°oni present indications we fear, as wc feared last fall, that this hope will not bf realized. The present rush to the niarke* I is not going to help matters for the farmei as we are not the oiil_v producers of pot- V atoes. Ontario and Quebec have largti quantities also, and they, too, are getting into the market. ;

It is quite probable that sixty or seventy 1

cents a bushel will not siifiicieiitly remun- crate the fariner for his time and labor at ‘

the present cost of laboi'. and other things _

that he is obliged to provide, but he still has the situation iii his own hand; he can feed his potatoes to hogs and cattle and at 1 the prices ruling for these, he can possibly make a better market for his potatoes than

selling them at sixty or seventy-five cents. |

There is no danger of glutting either the

pork or the beef market. A farmer wht q

raises large quantities of potatoes inform-

ed us today that he found it very profitable to sell his potatoes at_ seventy-five cent:

last fall and while that'pi'ice ruled he woult il

not think of feeding them in large quanti- ties to his stock. If prices should fail~mucl below that figure he was quite satisfied ti feed them to his hogs, a load of which he , sold in the city yesterday at 211/_» cents pei

pound, which he considered a good market or the potatoes used in fattening them.

It would be a comparatively easy mattei

for the press to minimize the reports of the Food Control Board and to point out to thi -5 farmers that Spring prices for potatoes , have always ruled higher than fall prices. il but it would have been exceedingly unfaii A to the farmers. We have at all times en- deavored to place the situation before our readers not as we would wish it to be but as it actually is, and we have not been mis- taken about the potato situation. It is use- less to expect the government to do any-‘_

i_ _ ~ ',

thing to maintain high prices _for potatoes. The demand and the supply will regulate tliat_ All the government can do is to assist in ti'aiisportation and the extraordinary Tiieasures adopted by them this year iii making winter shipment of potatoes possible has done more to maintain prices; at a high level than anything ever done by

We note by the last issue of “The Black

Fox l\lagaziiie,” that our American cousins Tiave organized a l"ox Breeders' Associa - tioinsoineivhat along the lines of the P. E. Isl:-ind Association. The headquarters of' die Association is in Boston, and a number if the Eastern States are represented in -;he lixequtive. Among those present at the orgaiiiziiig meeting were Di'. C. How- -ird Dalton, son of Sir Charles Dalton, and Nlr. John S. Thompson of Boston. _

Among the specified objects of the As-

:oeiation are “to disseminate and exchange iiforniation among ~ the members,” “to iiaintain a registry of foxes bred in captiv- ity that come up to a required standard of excellence," and to do any and all things iecessaigv- to promote, advance and en - iance the character, standing and interest if the Association. ‘ The Americans are fully alive to the im-

iortance of the fox industry and they inay 'Je depended upon to push,it_ They know, he value of publicitv and we may rest ai-

iains in advertising the industry. We in Prince Edward Island, who are the pioii- ‘ers and the creators of the fox industr/, 're waiting for someone else to do our pub- icity work. They will do it but for their iwn. not our, benefit. Unless we wake up, iull together and boost the fox business. 'ithers will' reap where we have sown and iur Island fox business, which should be he first in the world, will takesecond 'ank. Our Fox Breeders’ Association must iot leave its work to be done by one or wo; all must work tgether and help if we 're to maintain the first place, which we -re now holding without ef'l`ort.

_ ions are on to make the most of boy labor his summer as a means of making up the :hortage of help on the farms. It is pleas- int to see, too, a tendency to secure ofiiciai iiiperi-'isioii over all this activity, so that iy no chanceshall there be any improper exploiting of the youngsters, in the name if \\'ai' saving, for private profit. Many

:lare that when the youngsters are not too nuch inclined to pranks they make better vorkers than men who have had no farm xperience, being more adaptable, and often nore interested in their tasks. Indeed. nany youngsters are now looking forward

He stays right on 'he job every hour. According to the New; York Tribune, “the champion corn grower' if Indiana is a 15-year-old boy, a junior in iigli school with an ambition to become a :hemical engineer. Last season he made me acre produce 140.2 bushel of dry shell- éd corn at a cost of 11.3 cents per bushel, in unprecedented achieven ent in that itate. In 1916 he made an\aci°e yield 85 bushels, but in this he was beaten by a hundred other Indiana boys. But with his iwn seed and his previous year’s experi- ence he bettered his first year’s attempt by iiore than 60 per cent., and gave Indiana 1 new record. The record acre corn crop if the United States was raised bv a South

record corn crops of America have been raised by boys under 18.”--Boston ex-` change.
