A Among The Farmers . i

(Federation of Agriculture News)

The Plehlscite ,4; announced through adver- ;’u,eiiient in the press the wheels have started turning under a Ple- blscm which will determine whether the potato-producers of me province wish to have their Potato Marketing Board continued in operation.

The Plebiscite is being conduct- ed by the Provincial Marketing B03,-d_ a government appointed body which acts in A supervisory Uapgcﬂyy over any or all product '3”)-d5 which might it established

The Provincial Marketing Board has given careful consideration in the manner of holding the Pie- btscite and will so far as possible take every precaution to insure '.he fair carrying out oi the vote.

At a later date the deadline will be auuounced for the return of the ballots and it is hoped that the decision can be announced early in June.

Vote, Vote, Vote

Regardless of the decision of the growers on the potato Inarlieting question it can only be satisfactory if s sufiicimtly large number vote iii give it reasonable expression of opinion, approximately 7000 grow- “; have qualified at the moment w receive ballots and we see no reason why practically 100% of the ballots should not be returned, the “rust operation of voting should not take more than five minutes and that includes the marking of the ballots. sealing it in the ad- dressed returned envelope, afixing ﬂ, stamp and dropping in the mail- box. If this is done immediately on receipt oi the ballet the possibili- l\ nl neglecting the matter through lttrgetiulneas need not arise. t

Federation Potato Meetings

As a means of acqualntlng the potato growers of the province with the pros and cons of the potato tnarketing question the Federation ul Agriculture plans to hold dur- ing the next two weeks in series or seven meetings, these meetings -v.;ll be addressed by speakers cot.- tcrsant with the operations oi the potato Board and an invitation is uctttg extended to i'cpi'css-ntuiivcs of the Potato and Turnip Dealers Association to be present and ex- press their views, such representa- tives will be given time and ac- corded the full privileges of the meeting. Advertisements will ap- pear in the press announcing these titretings which as presently plan- ted will commence in ’I‘igtiLih Monday May 10th, and continue in 0'L.eary Tuesday May 11th. in Montague Wednesday May littii. and Morell Thursday May 13th, the reek following in Souris on Mon- day 17th, in Charlottewwri Tues- lil\' lath. and in Summerside Wed- nesday 19th. A large attendance on the part of growers at these meetings is important to the end that all may reach their decision after consideration, in the light of information presented, all as- pects of the situation.

These meetings will come in a busy time oi the year but the is- sue to be decided is sufficiently important to Justify leaving the liaciot‘ idle for a few hours while intending one of these meetings.

Potato Statlstlu

The 1951. census figures reveal interesting information with res- pect to the potato industry in this province. In that year 8297 farmers’ grew 29,607 acres, almost half the acreage was grown in

390 acres. Queens County had more growers than Prince but the |V9l‘8¢o acreage per grower in the latter County was 1% acre; high. er. Of the 8997 growers reporting approximately 1700 grew 1 acre or less which indicates that in 1951 0.600 growers had over 1 acre. . Ayrshire Sale

On l"rlc'iay May 33th, at 1.30 pm. on the exhibition grounds char- lottetown, the Ayrshire Breeders Association of the province will hold a. sale of carefully selected Ayrshire breeding stock. Offered Will be a number of young cows, bred and open heifers and young bulls. The animals offered have been chosen by a competent com. mittee which has made a selection of animals suitable for foundation purposes, Ayrshire ianciers will have an excellent opportunity oi adding’ to their herds or obtain- ing animals with which to make a start. sale catalogues may be ob- tained from, James Nicholson, P.0. Box 869, Charlottetown.

Eoternal Hope

We have now arrived at the season oi the year when the true farmer experiences a rebirth of enthusiasm in and energy for mu most important of an human op- erations, the cultivation and seed- ing oi the soil.

In 5Dite of losses, and inadequate returns for his labour difficulties in financing. scarcity of help. uh. certain future prospects and the danger of attacks by disease gnd insects, the farmer still remains the incurable optimist, it in well for the world that such is the case.

Necessity. is a hard master and while it may be argued that the farmer is compelled to ‘sow and reap yet within certain limits if the farmer followed the guidance of sound business principles and stem realities food would surely become very much scarcer than North America now finds it.

It is interesting to speculate on what might happen if the farmer ever made enough money to un- able him to stop working ior I whole year.

What To Plant

Each spring as the farmer views his arable acres he is confronted with the question‘ of what the acres should be planted with. will it be more or less potatoes? some other cash crop? Tumips for the cattle or mangles for the hogs? Straight oats or mixed grains? Will it pay to fertilize pasture or hay or will there be more of both than required? For the livestock farmer the importance of having an abundance oi home grown roughage cannot be overestimated. the real decision which the aver- age farmer has to make is the one of whether to take a chance on a cash crop or put his hope in greater llvmwck returns.

lhil Grads

During the week ending May 1st Q4 cattle and 100 calves were sold on a Rail Grade basis in the Maritimcs. Prices received were as follows: Top steers $31.50. Good Steers one dollar less. and medi- um steers $36.60 up to 311.60, Heifers were in all cases we low- er than steers Good Oowa brought 322.50. and Camera and Cutters $17.00.
