"Neutral press reporters and observers who had over a period of years attended previous con- vcntions repeatedly remarked upon the organization work done be- forehand and openly stated that the whole conduct of proceedings was much superior to those of the August convention. They particu- larly stressed the great interest taken by the delegates in all de- bates, and the promptness of the starting of the meetings as well as the high attendance.

"With reference to the resolu- tions the Island delegates stated that they now know they have a platform which distinctly expres- ses the aims and objects of the Party so that each of them can say: ‘This is what I stand for and this is what I mean when I vote for a Progressive Conserva- tive candidate.‘ Also they have the utmost faith and confidence in George A.

To safeguard the reputation ef Island potatoes and turnips dur- ing the shipping season olficflals are emphasizing that the great- est can should be taken to gee that all pha s of loading op- erations are carefully corned out. Here are some timely po‘nters to all concerned in the industry:

In the first p‘ace care should be taken to see that car is properly cleaned - if a refrigerator, the floor racks should be lifted and floor cleaned. In order to pre- vent the spread of bacterial ring rot; from being found in seed from the Island, a good plan would be to spray the walls and floor oi’ car with a solution of about one pound of bluestone to five gallons of water.

In the loading o! the product in the car. damage is in many cases caused by rough handling. Truckers throwing the bags from the truck to csr floor invariably cause bruises which In dug time cause a dscaiyed spot in the po- tsto. Then the manner of piling in car is often a bud factor; bags will be piled in env old manner and when the car is moved they are thrown forward. causing shifting of load and consequent bruising of the pofstoes.

The proper manner in which to load pottoes and turnips is to start by placing a tier across the end of car with bottom of bag about ten inches from the bulk- head. Then start to load by placing bags crossways onl floor. When up to height of bags standing; push them back against bulkhead and continue to pile until height required is reached. This gives the load a slant to- wards the bulkhead and prevents loading from falling forward when car is moved.

In box cars paper should al- ways be used on floor anti side walls to prevent contamination from foreign substances. Never fill doorway; If necessary to use that part of car leave an open sparse on each sidc for ventilation.

In the loading of refrigerators during boating season, the first move to make is seeing that the heaters are working properly and the ca: is up to a safe tempera- ture for loading. Straw should not be used in this class of car because of danger of fire. Paper if used should not. be placed on floor within iour inches of side walls and none should be placed on floor in doorway, 0r should it be placed within ten inches of bulkheads, by so doing one pre- vents the proper circulation of the heat. which must move un- der floor racks to upper part of car. If it is an "underslug" heat- er car being loaded, the carfiful shipper will not depend on ilie heat of car as ShOWn on liquid- meter, but shcufd raise the fl"or racks and examine the heating pipes to see that heat is properly circualng. If after reasonable time pipes are not warm all over car flcor, there is probably an n’rlocir and car should not be loaded. When improprr heating exists. attention of railway offic- ials should be called to this defect immediately.
