AJargs number cf parents and friends took the opportunity of visiting the Scout Camp atFair-

view, Sunday nftornoon. Many complimentary remarks were pas- sed regarding the sanitary condit- ion of the camp and the neat ap- pearance of each camp site. It is a registered Scout camp and is bound to follow the rules of good scouting. Each day thcdiffcrent patrols are in keen competition to win the honor flag which is award- ed to the patrol securing the most points in inspection, which inclu- des, personal and camp site in- spection. After flag-break the camp follows the day's programme as outlined by the camp Chief, Mr. Warren. At the day's close the scouts gather round a. camp fire where an enjoyable, although impromptu, entertainment is put on by the duty patrol and a short talk by the camp chief or other member of the camp staff. Sunday afternoon an interesting ceremony was held when the foi- iowing scouts were admitted to the world wide brotherhood of scouts: Bill Murray, Wm. Richards and Harold MacDonald. Mr. Wm. War- ren, Camp Chief, Mr. R. C. Parent, Provincial Treasurer, and Mr. ma Drisccll performed the investiture.

Report of Secretary and Manager

The Secretary and manager, Mr.

I J. W. Boulter reported in part as

follows:

"We have met today, for the ‘Thirteenth Annual Meeting of the P. E. I., Potato Growers’ Associ- atioa; and it is your privilege and right, to ask for and obtain any information regarding the business, which may not be clear to you in the financial statement you re- ceived, or in the explanation which I shall now make.

“We do not wish to entertain any suspicion regarding the operation of the organization. We have nothing to conceal; we have always been frank. While the conducting of a co-opcrative organization, requires making public, many things which would be kept a secret by private organizations, nevertheless, we shall disclose to you, full particulars.

“The year Just passed, has been

of any since the Association was organised. We have seen in the past ten years, an industry which meant little or nothing to the Province, develop to one cf tremendous value. In the four or five years preceding this, the amount of business hand- led by your organization, has run into the millions.

"The potato crop of 1981 was considerably l ter than the crop of l930.,Tha quantity of potatoes sold from Prince, Edward Island, was very little more than one-third the quantity sold in the previous year, From the 1930 crop, upwards of seven million bushels were sold. Of these, your Association handled practically two and s. quarter mill- on ‘- “ ' Of the 1931 crop, ap- proximately two and a half mill- ion bushels were sold, from the Province, and of these your Asso- elation handled upwards of a mill- ion busheis. The percentage of bus- iness done by the Association, to the total crop shipped in the re- spective years, was greater this last year, than fog- 1980.

"With regard to the seed pota- toes, we have been advised that of the total quantity of seed shipped the Potato

hundred and sixty thousand bushels more than was handled by all the other dealers in the Province. This

information should be sufficient to convince you, of the absurdity of the many stories circulated during the yeah-that the Potato Growers‘ Association was not doing any- tilillfl,—-thdt they were out of bus- iness, and such other statements, talked of throughout the country, and discussed by parties who had no knowledge whatever regarding the operations of the Association.

Storage Seed

.' now deal with the seed pla.. ..l storage last fall. This is a very disappointing aspect of the year's work. Your management ncv- er experienced a proposition so discouraging. The fall of 1931 off- ered seine prospect for sales which later the dealers found they were not able to carry out. You must bear in mind, that seed is not handled the same as tablestock, It is distributed to the farmers. The farmers of the United States, are for the moat part, in a. worse fin- ancial situation, than we are in thirProvinoa. They could not pay their local dealer for the seed. Ho is turn was unable to pay the larg- er dealsr, to whom we sell. con- sequently, it‘ would be impossible for him to pay the Association. The banks would not advance the mon- 07 Ilainst potatoes. ‘Iherefcre, your Association thought it wise, to store - which they did,

"The circular sent out in the fall, . advised the mambera Just what

circular-was written, we expected

have Jlready stated why this was

"Instead of selling‘ 100,000 sacks, we sold about 40,000 such. We ask- ed for sioraseloacstotakecarecf 60,000 sacks. Our members were ad- vised to move, only the quantity they could not themseiver store. This advice they did not follow. but shipped. in some cases, all they had to move; and your Association was forced to find storage for 100,- 000 sacks. Of these, 40,000 aaoks were sent to Norfolk. The storage charges at that point,‘ are high,

sold in the spring at 82.00 per sack, which did not cover the fined charges. You can, therefore, see

ed on the cargo sold in the fall.

"The last of February, wa "m; Mr. MacFarianc, from our office, to New York, and left him there until all the seed potatoes were sold. Mr. MscFarIane was in close touch with the dealers, and we be- lieve it was well to have him there. Ono thing we kncw,—he received for the stock in storage, a price almost equal to the price received for fresh stock shipped from the Province during the time he was there.

Average Prices

The average prices paid at that time, were from $2.00 to 62.15 per sack. Fixed charges on potatoes, amount to upwards of $2.00, made up as follcws:-(.‘.ost of bag, load- ing charges, freight charges at port, 30c; ocean freight, 25c; average storage, 27c; duty and insurance, $1.13; total, $1.95, to which must be added other inoldentals and sell. lng charges. This explains why we could pay only 6c a bushel for the seedw-a ridiculous price, we are all willing to admit; but on whom can you justly lay the blame?

"No money was squandered or wasted. The strictest economy was exercised in every transaction. The economic conditions were such, that potatoes were not going into con- sumption: and the prices, instead of strengthening, became weaker. While it is one thing to develop s. market, it is impossible to overcome such an economic depression, as we are now experiencing in, all pro- ducts. . a

Value Of Co-qperaticn _

"One can easllyfseefihowxiisap- Pointed a, farmer would befnt re- ceivlng such a. price, and naturally looks for someone on whom he may lay the blame. The unfortunate part oi this is, that past experiences are riot’ taken into consideration. If the farmer _who sold his seed in the fall of 1930, would recall the‘ circum-

this: If the Potato Growergf. Aa- sociation had notpiaced theDseed. in storage in loamltlloiin wouldhayc been no market iorithin tlieiolltlns of 1931. Transportation ‘w tied up, and seed could not be mo ed from the Province. When transportation opened up, the potato market went to pieces, with such disastrous re- sults, that many and many a ship- per received a bill for expenses on potatoes shipped, rather; than a cheque in payment. But for the pct- atoes which were in storage, the farmers were paid 40c a. bushel. “Now; if we had not placed so many potatoes in storage in 1931, we could have paid more money; but apart from that, if the policy of storing was right for one year, who is to know which year or what year this policy should be changed? And, providing we ha/d riot stored these potatoes, what would you have received for them? Let us say we could have moved all these pot- atoes, which is doubtful, you would have received 0c or 8c s. bushel more. Contrast this with the 48c you would have lost the year before, and see ‘for yourself which policy would have been the more profit- able.

"Now, I think we have made a clear explanation on this, and Just while we were talking about potat- oes, let me clear your mind regard- ing stories circulated, about the Dyal Produce Corporation, of New York City. This Dyal Produce Cor- poration annually handles, more Island potatoes than any other Am- erican dealer. They have provided an outlet for potatoes, shipped not only by this Association, but by many independent dealers. They, naturally, will buy as close as they campand as regards the charges of price cutting in Cuba that does not affect the farmers of Prince Edward Island.

"All potatoes shipped by the As- sociation to Cuba, are sold at a price uhip-side Island 9011!. We do not send our potatoes there cn con- signment, as‘ others do. was.» these unfair criticism are made’ aga‘nat Mr. Dyal, no mention is made of the fltt that in i929, his coming to the

price made by Mr. Dyal. Do you ever hear any mention made of this?

“It, therefore, resolves itself to this: When Mr. Dyal pays these prices, and sells, as claimed, at a less price than others are asking in Cuba, he is taking that much less profit for himself. And that is u‘ businen entirely his own, and‘ about which we are not concerned, s0 long as we receive an equal or better price on the potatoes he handles, than is paid by others.

"Let me tell you one thing more: Ocean freights and storage charg- es, on 10st fall's shipments, were paid in United States currency. The lDyal Produce Corporation financed the payment and storage charges on all the potatoes sent to Port Newark. We were, therefore, not obliged to borrow money from the bank for this purpose. This made it easier for us. as the banks were not anxious to advance too much money against potatoes placed in storage. While the Dyal Produce Corporation had advanced this money against the potatoes in stor- age they did not handle all of these potatoes when they were taken out of storage: but Mr. MucFai-larie sold to all dealers, and this Cor- poration was obliged to buy their requirements, in competition with other dealers.

"I do not suppose I have heard half of the malicious stories circu- lated against the Potato Growers’ Association during the past year. The financial statement you have received, and the explanation I have given so far, explodes several of them.

Amendment to Act.

Fons story, which naturally play- ed cin the minds of the members.

and another, the right information ls not conveyed to the office, and therefore, someone has not paid for the bags which he has used. while others have been charged for them. While this may be a source of un- pieasazitness to the party, it is not an indication of error on the part of the staff, and is corrected when- ever the information is forwarded to the office. The management was of the opinion, that by charging extra for these bags, it. would cor- rect the use of them for sale to outside dealers, but even this has not worked very satisfactorily. II understand that all dealers ex- perience practically the same trouble. -, Fertilizer Prices
