Growers Advised " To Watch Sebago Market Situation

A considerable gain in the pop- ularity of the Sebago potato has occurred in recent years, and with the Island seed production higher than the estimated market de- mand for this variety. growers were warned yesterday to study the sit- uation closely by Mr. S.G. Peppin. technical adviser to the P.E.I. Po- tato Marketing Board.

He said that much of this gain in due to increased plantings of the variety in the Southern States of Florida. North and South Car- olina and Alabama. with Cuba also favouring the variety for its sec- ond planting.

It must be recognized however that these markets are somewhat limited and in View of present crop conditions and marketing prospects it is quite possible that some of the growers in these Southern States may favour plant- ing an earlier maturing variety such as Cobblers.

Mr. Peppln said that this would be in order to take advantage of better prices which might prevail towards the.latter part of the ship- ping season for old potatoes. or about the time when these areas are ready to harvest their new

crop. I'. E. I. Acreage

"The main point for our growera to consider is that Prince Eriwarri Island has 9.260 acres of Sebagoes which passed inspection this year," he said. "The estimated yield of graded stock A and B is placed at l.85i),000 bushels. In other words, over half of our available output of certified seed of all varieties is Sebago.

"It is very questionable whether the markets mentioned can absorb more than 1,000,000 bushels of this total. Therefore there will be about three quarters of a million bushels which must either find a new seed market. or so as table stock. our growers would be well advised to study these factors and plan their market accordingly. I

"It must also be born in mind." he stated. "that the large markets for Sebauo seed entioned above require their supplies during the months of December and January. Furthermore. our growers and deal- :-;-s should not lose sight of the fact that we must maintain our hold on these markets at all costs, otherwise buyer! there will look elsewhere for their requirements.

"These southern growers approve of our seed. providing it arrives in pond condition. and they realize that the official certification tag attached to every bag is a guaran- tee of well graded stock, relatively free from disease."

other seed producing areas are now advertising their products and are making a strong bid to get into these markets. Mr. Peppin stated that this Province must keep ahead of this competition, if our seed po- tato trade. built up over the past thirty years. is to survive.

rue GUARDIAN. Cl-IARLOTTETOWN Railways Investigating

Potato Shippersf Case

OTTAWA. Dec. 14. - .0?) The railways are investl ting complaint; of Ma-ritlmes shippers against V freight-rate increases on pol-Ialool, they told the Board of Transport Commissioners today.

Railway spokesmen made this.

known under questioning by the board as they contlnued- argu- ment in their application for a general I0-per-cent rate increase. Last -week. the Board heard re- quests from the Marltlmee potato industry that its product be ex-

cepted from the increase.

Asked about the matter today. railway lawyers said. it is being investigated and the findings of the companies will be submitted to the Board.

Later, Mr. Justice .1? D. Kear- ney IlldIICB'I6d the Board in this case will not deal with potato rates on a regional basis. How- ever: he said there is some pos- slbil-ity It will be able to deal with the mottor from the cross- country standpoint.

Improvement Noted In Butter Supply Situation

OTTAWA. Dec. 14.-In a state- mcnt issued today the Agricultur- al Products Board drew attention to the marked improvement in the butter supply position as compar- ed with last year. The Dominion Bureau of statistics reported stor- age stocks of butter at December 1. 1951. as 57,774,000 pounds as compared with 52,835,000 pounds on the same date a year ago. This increase of 4.939.000 pounds over last year is significant in view of the fact that on May 1. I951. stor- age stocks of butter were 18.256.o00 pounds below those at the same date last year.

The Board attributes the im- provcment in supply to the fact that during the past seven months. May to November inclusive. butter production' was 2o5.792.ooo pounds or 2 per cent higher than product- ion during the same seven months in 1960. and that during the same period butter consumption had de- clined by some 4.790.000 pounds or 2.8 per cent as compared to last year for the same period.

To date there has been a. total importation into Canada of 12.- 500,000 pounds of butter of which the trade imported 4.000.000 pounds. The Agricultural Products Board has taken delivery of 8,500.- ooo pounds and will take delivery of an additional 1.500.000 early in the New Year.

if the trend toward increased production and lower consumption continues during the next five months-December. 1951 to April. 1952-there should be an adequate supply of butter to satisfy all dom- cstic requirements, with the prob- ability that storage stocks as at May 1, 1952 will be somewhat high- er than on the oonresponding date a year ago.

The butter supply position will. however. be reviewed again early in the New Year when the figures of storage stocks as at, January 1 are available and further import- ations will be arranged by the Board if considered necessary to insure adequate supplies of butter to meet all requirements.

VeIerans' Tree Al" Moore & Mcleod's

The annual Veterans' Christmas Tree will again be set up by the Canadian Legion on the second floor of Moore and McLeod Ltd. this Christmas season. It is hop- ed to have it installed Monday.

The purpose of the tree is to encourage citizens to contribute parcels which will be. distributed among veterans who are shut-in at home or hospital. On Monday, December 24th, members of the Charlottetown Branch Executive will visit veterans at the San- ntorlum, Beach Grove. Falcon- wood. and the Prince Edward Is- land and Charlottetown Hospitals to distribute gifts.

A donation of 550 has been re- ceived already by the Legion from the Ladies Auxiliary of the branch and will be used to send parcels to veterans from this Province who are now hospitaliz- ed at Camp Hill, Halifax; St. Annes, P.Q., Ste. Hyncinthe, P.Q.; Queen Mary, Montreal, and Sunnybrook. Toronto.

The Legion is anxious to re- ceive. under the tree. at Moore and McLeod's. as many parcels as possible in order that hospitaliz- ed veterans might realize they are not forgotten.

Should it not be convenient for a donor to leave a parcel under the tree, donations may be sent to the Charlottetown Legion Home. Grafton Street: for pur- chasing suitable gifts.

Officials are confident that this year, as in the past. citizens will respond generously to the Christ- mas Tree uppeal for hospitalized veterans.
