Address by the President Mr. S. A. MacDonald _

'I'his is the ‘lth annual convention of the Associated Boards of ‘Prado of Prince Edward Island. the rganiza tion having been founded in 1921. From a small beginning there has gradually been built up a society which today has its finger on the pulse of all provincial activities.

Each year the matters dealt with have been of increasing importance. At times undoubtedly the policies put for- ward may have seemed in advance of public opinion. But nothing has been done which was not" carefully studied and discussed in every detail. Proof of this is seen in the importance at- tached at Ottawa to Boards of Trade resolutions which are generally given more than cursory consideration.

The Boards of Trade of all countries have ever been the forerunners and leaders to a certain extent of policies and opinions which. often are buoys for the ship of, state.

Resolution Re Second Car Ferry For Prince Edward Island.

Whcrcas the need of a second Car Ferry for the Borden-Tormentinc route was recognized by the Martime Royal Commission (Duncan Commission).

And Whereas the business of the Province has greatly increased during the period since elapsed to the extent that the steamer Scotia has had to be kept on the route during the present summer. together with the steamer Prince Edward in order that the freight be moved promptly.

And Whereas during the winter sea- son she is t e only connecting link with the mai land for freight. mails and passengers. and any interruption of the service by an accident to her hull or machinery would creat a vcry serious situation here. ' *

And Whereas after nmny years of agitation and strong recommendations by the Maritime Boards of Trade a conference of the Premiers of the three Maritime Provinces was finally arrang- ed at Mioncton in the fall of 1923. which resulted in the temporary em- ployment by these provinces of Mr. F.

The young hedges shoul be water- ed when planted. and during dry weather the first, season. Hedges should be pruned when set, and the left without pruning until the foll- owing season. or until they are well established. The time for pruning hedges in the Maritime Provinces may vary slightly. but tlic first week in August. has been found to be very satisfactory. This causes s. sec- oned growth that thickens up the bottomof the hedge and gives thc ncw wood time to mature before the scvcrc frosts of autumn occur.

Deciduous trees should be pruned back more severely than the coni- fcrs. The hedges will thicken up best if it is pruned with flat top for a few years. This shape also allows the rain to penetrate to the roots near the trunk of the trees. Once the hedges are wcll established. any desirable shape may bc secures b5’ trimming and pruning. The oval hedge looks very wcll for carailflna- bucktliorn, barbcrry, crataegus, lilac. whitch-hazcl, etc. A sharp roof- ghgpcd top is sometimes used for the scdar, or arbor vitae, trees.

The deciduous trees can be rc- novatcd. if they become unsightly. by vcry severe cutting back early in tho spring, The spruce’ arbor vitae will not survive such r novaiion.

The most troublesome insect on spruce hedges has been the pine- apple spruce gall. The treatment is e. thorough spraying with kerosene emulsion or with a miscible oil early in May. when the young are moving i0 new growth.
