Annual Meeting

on imports be not applicable to Fertilizer and Spray Material im- ported to Canada.

It was moved by Mr. Harvey Douglas and seconded by Mr. Rob- ert Coiinelly that this meeting go on record as protestin against the increase oi’ t5 per on in the cost of Sulphate of Ammonia. That as this is a by product and is not subject to the import tax, there should not be this heavy percentage of increase in cost and it should be brought to the attention of the proper authorities in order that they should investigate the reason for the advance in price.

The meeting was then thrown open for general discussion and the President called on Mr. J. A. Gil- lies. Manager of the Livestock Marketing Board. Mr. Gillies gave a very comprehensive address pointing out the work done by co- operatives when there was a need and urged that when that need was nolonger apparent, farmers should not forget that it might again exert itself.

He also suggested that a vigil- ance committee be appointed that would keep track of the costs of that which the farmer must buy.

Quite an interesting discussion followed taken part in by Messrs. Tolvnsheiid. Gonnelly, Douglas. Howatt and others.

larger Potato Movement

At the close of the meeting the Manager had a talk with the ag- ents oi the Association and poiiit- ed out that in all probability the movement of potatoes would be later this fall than usual and that their patrons should be warned in time to make proper provlslml 1,0 protect their crop against frost,

The Directors met after the meeting and Mr. E. B. McLarm was reelected President. Hon. H. Wright, Vice-Piles, and Mr. J. W. Boulter. Manager for the ensuing vesr.

MANAGER'S REPORT

Fbllolvlng is the tax; of the an- nual report of the manager. Mr. Boulter.

"Tbwty years ago this Associa- tion held its first Annual Meet- ing. We were then at our beginning and some of you present today as- sisted m developing the organiza- toin and you continue your alleg- iance to the principles and objects for which it was organized. Some leading farmers and business men thought it was necessary to have a Cvllcctlve body of farmers working in the interests both of the pro- duction and the marketing of their crops. ‘There was a great need for some reform in the potato mulls- try. The varieties grown were out of dale. The markets were limited

regrettable as they not only dis- courage an garly movement of seed. I but have a retarding reaction mi , subsequent sales. "What has been stated of the ‘ 1939 crop was true of the 1938 crop so far as it applies to Prince Eo- l ward Island with this difference: Seed dealers did not experience similar losses in the spring of 19- 1 3340 because of lolver markets as in

"The value of the potato crop as stated does not give a full picture of the industry, because in addition to the shipments there was natur- ilally a. great consumption of po- tatoes in the province all of which was supplied by the province. Un- fortunately, this is not true of oth- er farm products consumed heic as we have heavy importalions of hog products, beef. poultry, cheese and sometimes butter. We should emphasize that the potato industry in this province provides a wond- erful source of revenue. This has always been true. Even in the clo days of extended credit it took ilk lowly potato to pay the bills in the I1

is ,

"In view of this truth is it not strange that we hear so much about livestock being the backbone of agriculture. and potatoes when sp kcu of are the bane of the ag- -> ""l'.'ll iudusli-y. No one has a word to say against the absoluw nceci of livestock, except that it requwes to be brought to a much higher point bf efficiency as a rev- enue producer, but until this is done and the different lines added together can equal or excel thc iict ieveiiue derived from jiotatocs let us not spurn the hand that feeds us but include our potatoes as one of the most important branches 0f mixed farming in which we can engage.

New Markets

"During the past year your As- soclation has continued its endeav- ours to open new markets for our seed and has sent numerous samp- les of extra quality seed to differ- ent states to be used there for demonstration purposes. We also have endeavoured to secure better rail rates for potatoes to the Unit- ed States and to urge wherever and whenever possible that efforts be made to remove the embargo a- gainst Canadian potatoes entering Great Britain.

"We with everyone regret the outbreak of the war. There is noth- ing we can say at this time that would add to what we all know and realize. except to state that with the outbreak of war Col. C. C. Thompson was immediately called and we lost the benefit of his wide experience and service. Charlie was brought up in the potato business and no one but the Manager knows
