During the year a, party. of be- tween ﬁfteen and twenty engineers have made extensive surveys of the property of the Canadian National Railways throughout the province in line with the recommendation of the Duncan Commission, and I un- derstand that their report which has been completed and submitted the management involves the expen- diturc of from two to four millions of dollars.

thousand dollars for each occupied farm in the province. To estimate tiic value of the dairy products, Poultry products. live stock and meat products produced from these ﬁeld crops is much more difficult. The consumption within the province of all these.tbings is very large and increases with increased prosperity. There is a fear amongst many of our own people that the greatly in- creased production of vegetables for export is tending to distract atten- tiun‘froln the feeding and breeding of live stock. The ﬁgures that are available respecting shipments d0 not seem to indicate that this tend- ency has yet assumed serious pro- Portions. The P. E. I. Clo-operative 8g and Poultry Association report an increase in the quantity as well as the value of the eggs shipped by circle members, the hog production is estimated at between twenty-five and thirty thousand head and desi- crs report that they arc unable to notice any falling off in numbers, though many farmers are not giv- ing the same attention to the finish- ing of their hogs that they formerly did. The number of sheep kept in the province and the number of limbs produced is certainly decreas- ing. but this tendency has been ap- parent for‘ quite s number of years. More pure bred breeding stock has perhaps been sold out of the province in 1927 than ever before. many anim-
