According to records be kept. Mr. Douglas continued. cost of pro- duction per acre of potatoes was still to site. Average production of potatoes in the Province was 20') bushels to the acre although some farms grew 350 and even 400 bush- cls in the acre.

Although the annual production of the Island was some ten million bushels, there was frost-proof storage facilities for only one mil- lion six hundred thousand bushels. Mr. Douglas said.

Storage at Marketing

"I believe the grant of 8100.000 which we receive from the Federal Government as well as the assist- allce from the Provincial Govern- ment should iic used to the fullest: extent possible to provide ware- houses at the points where they are needed." Mr. Douglas said.

"Marketing; of potatoes could be better regulated with more ads- riuate warehouse storage space. We need an orderly marktlng system to put an end to the cut-throat competition that has been going on amongst the dealers."

Mr. Douglas mentioned that wnz.-41 in Toronto earlier this year, he foulid P. E.I. potatoes selling for as little as 31.18 per 75-pound bag. which niezuit that the dealer in Prince Edward Island might be getting as little as 60 cents a bag. The industry was hard hit, he add- ed. by tile increase in frelgiit. charges which had mounted it! cents per 100 pounds in the past 18 months.

Prince Ed'Ji'i1l'd Island. MI'. Douglas said, had mastered the arts of growing and grading pot.)- toes but had yet to learn how to market Client in an orderly mau- ncr. He paid tribute to the effic- iency of the potato inspection ser- vice developed through the efforts of Mr. Peppin of the Seed Branch

and of Chester E. shaw, chi;-r table stock inspector. "To solve our problems." Mr

Douglas said. ”we should have more and better storage facilities and an orderly system of mark- cling."

He oprmed the establishment of a floor price for potatoes on grounds that as long -is a farmer is making costs of production, he would continue growing poiiatoivs instead of cutting down his pota- to Bt"l'EaK9. and growing another rlnp

"H is up to olirseli-es." he said. 'to improve the sittintion and help "W ilP0l1le. who. after spending their time and money, uftey get. triig up at three o'clock in the nioriiiiig to spray potatoes, gfter lt'Ci1Till,'.: out machinery, at the end of the year have just enough to liny fertilizer bills."

Raps Din.-titlmis

Mr. .tlcLure told the House that despite assertions to the contrary, he did not believe there was over- production of potatoes in Prince Edward Island or in Canada as a whole. Per capita consumption cf potatoes in Canada had dropped nearly a bushel a year over the last 25 years. If the present-day coiisumptlon could be brought back to the normal of 25 years mm, the entire P. E. I. crop could be marketed in Canada.

"Mr. Mebure blamed the "diet- itians. tho fatldists. and others who claimed that potatoes were fitttening." This theory, he said had been disproved by farmers who had fed potatoes to hogs anti found that they were much less

fnttciiing than other foods.

"Today what is needed," he said. "is advertising as to the food value of the wonderful potato. yet, 3,; break down the ideas of the diet- itians and faddists. Let us tell the 'lntlics that if they expect, rt vi;-he race of men they must feed them I306-Wines. It is not a. question of over-production but that COXlSu,mp- tion is declining. I hope the mm. later will see that advertising is ciu'ricd on to place before the pro- rir the benefits of the wonderful frwvl which is not. a luxury but. Si real food."

fields was becoming thin in places and for n time thought it might. have been due to the hot. dry wea- ther. Upon investigation, however, he was aiiiaieci to find numerous cut worms iiciicath the ground.

Another farmer saw 1'1 acres of his grain partially eaten away by the pr.-sis. lie replanted his grain at an additional cost of 8110.00, ten dollars an acre. fite for grain seed and five for hay seed.

Mr. Cation advised Mr. Carver to prepare some poisoned bait to eliminate the cutworms. The lat.- ter applied one application Mon- day evening with a broadcast seed- er and yesterday found that many 6f the larger worms had died or were dying. None of the smaller worms appeared to be affected.

This was thought due to the fact that the night was too cold for the worms to stay above ground. They nearly always feed at night.

The worms were first detected last year in the Savage Harbour arcs around the and of June. Their effects are expected to be more widespread this year as they ap- pear to be at work at any earlier date.

Mr. Canon advises t.he'axamln- ntloit of all grain fields as the prescnre of the cutworm may not he noticed until considerable dam- age is done. He also urges the sp- pllcation of the bran bait. to infect- ed fields. This bait is composed of 2.5 pounds of bran. one pound parts green and about two and one half gallons of water.

The month of June is the hey day of the cutworm as he is then in the larvae stage. he appears to eat out circular patches in the grain and in places leaves nothing

but the ban red soil.

Presbyterians Continue Sessions

MONTREAL, June 13 - (CF)- Revision of the Ukrainian Bible, as work undertaken by the Brit- ish and Foreign Bible Society in Canada. will require Sl.000,000, the Presbyterian General Assent- bly was told today.

The figure was given by Rev. W. ll. Hudspeth. general secretary of the Society. before the. 70th General Assembly nf the Presby- terian Church in Canada.

Mr. Hudspeih said there are 350.000 Ukraninns in Canada. 500.- 000 in the United States and 20.- 000.000 in the south of Russia. There is .a great demand for a re- vised Bible and work on the Old

Testament has begun in Canada, he said. "We are faced wiili wider op-

portunities than we have ventured to think of before." said Mr Hudspcth.

He outlined the mod for Scrip- tures throughout the world. par-

ticularly in countries where a literacy campaign is teaching many to read. and said that as

yet no Bible houses had been clos- ed in China. The Society is still printing Bibles in Shanghai and Hong Kong.

Earlier the Assembly registered a protest against abuse of chi . tian liberty through excessive use of alcohol.

The report of the El'3l'1LlCilFfll and Social Action Board. presented by Rev. E. C. McCuilagh of Dunn- vilic. Ont.. recommended that lllf nature and function of alcohol be taught in public and high schools and universities as well as in Sunday schools.

The report said:- ”Wc l'QC(l2ii.;'? that the use of alcohol in nizinv ill- sianees is duo to I failure of the individual to meet the (llliU:.'ll”fi and inwni-ri stresses of persona' and modern life."

Dr. W. L. Detloc of Trail. B. C. said "the dominant and off:cinl position of mic Church has lrcri that of total abstinence."

Mr. McCullagh said there was no support of total abstinence in the Scriptures and "total abstin- ence is not the position of the Presbyterian Church in Canada."

- .. British Columbials gift of 1.- 600.000 boxes of apples last. year. It was a discussion of apple markets last. night. which produced Mr. Gardiner's sug-

gcstion for "direct" talk to Britain. Today. he said he liiicierslcod

that 50.0:ltl boxes of apples had been given to schools and institut- ions in Britain. But what. had happened to the remainder of the apple gift; from B. C. Tree Fruits Limited had not been made clear.

"it they were sold to the poople of Britain at the usual price," he said, "I just. want to ask one quest.- ion: Who ought to have the re- turns?"

Mr. Gardiner reported that tho-re had been no difficulty in selling food to Britain until 1947. Wllvn "it was int.iniatird" that Britain wanted to cut. out the purchase of all foodstuffs front Canada exccpi wfheiit.

Canada replied that this would be "most difficult" but she did co- operate "in every possible -way" by trying to find other markets and by consuming the food at home. Until now, Canada had been able to market. food production. but she was not always going to be able to eat all that she could produce.

Tile British Commonwciiltli was the best. organization in l-llc world to promote peace and it was "most important" that Canada's rela- tionships with Britain. the centre of the organization. should be of the "most cordial kind."

"I do not think tht.C is any dol- lar-sterling question in the world or any dollar-sterling problem as between Canada and Great Brit- ain that is more important, than the maintenance of good i-eliilluii- ships between those two at-ens."

A Small Problem

La:-I. year. it. ti-ou'ri have taken only si30.(i00.000 for Britain to have r-'at.isficd all the dcmitntis of Can- adian agriculture as to the sale of food. If that amount had been prof- fered, under the plane of co-opt-in atlon in solving British as well no Canadinii problems, "'1 venture to say that they would not have had to use half of it."

"Otir people would have been perfectly satisfied that they were being treated properly llllli their people would have been perfectly satisfied tint they were getting Ill the surplus food there was from this country . . .

"When this problem is such 'i. small one, I think all this talk about it being caused by the fact that there is some dollar-sterllnz problem just is not the case at all.

"if we could get. that into the minds of one or two people, prob- ably we could settle the question so far as Great Britain and can- ada are concerned.”

Canadians Concerned

Mr. Drew said Canadians could not look without some concern at

the foods which Canada hind been supplying to Britain "now are be- ing bought from countries behind the iron curtain," There may be some explanation.

He said there -was no doubt that the people of Britain wanted to trade with the people of Canada.

"The statement is made that there are some people who should be spoken to in a much firmer way than they have been spoken to be- fore. I think we should know whe- ther those are members of present Government of Great Brit- ain. itnd I do not know why we should be left. to guess as to who they are."

Mr. Gardiner should whether there was "any relation- ship whatever to the insistence

upon the acceptance of certain

published statements that some of

indicate

MEMORIAL TABLET

of this college.

"It is fitting that the Alumni Association should have erected this memorial tablet. to be placed with. and indeed attached to a similar tablet erected by the Alum- ni a generation ago at. the close of the First World War. The very nrrniigemrnt of this double mem- orial is appropriate. in that is rec'- ognized the fact. that these two outbreaks of armed violence which demanded such sacrifices for their suppression were in reality sep- nrate phases of the same conflict. A conflict, which is still with,us, even though the din of battle for the present is silenced, and in which we all are called to do our part for the ultimate triumph of justice and goodness and truth. "The men of this collcee whose valour is commemorated here are a part of a. great company to wrom we owe the nrcscrvation, for the time, of M'(!l'ViililV! that we value most.

In Honor of All

"Most of them in the good provi- deuce of God have been spared to return to us. They mingle with us once again in the peaceful pur- suits of our daily lives. and we do not. say much to them about the honor with which we regard them. But that fooling is there nevertheless.
