:At the btbsent time questions M. appearing in the press rais- llVe to the financial arrangements misting between the Prince Ed- uard Island Potato Marketing Board and- the Potato Industry promotional Committee. It is not our intention to enter, into the discussion on the merits of this working arrangement, but posibly some general information on the history and work of these two bodies misht bo timely.

In 1046 an Act was passed by me Provincial Legislature dealing with the control and eradication nf certain potato diseases. This but made provision for the collec- ion of a leyy in the amount of ':r per huridredweight on potatoes -old out of the province. These monies were collected through the Department. of Agriculture and set up in a fund by the Gov- unment. In 1947 the Act was a- mended and the levy raised to 1c.

Under this Act the Government appointed a commission.-it was the responsibility of. the commission -,0 access disease situations and recommend compensations to the growers. Between 1946 and 1940 a number of growers received very substantial amounts of money in mmpensation for disabilities suf- fered through outbreaks of ser- .,u, disease. From 1946 to March 1951, a total 0 Sl50,272.53 .i . pail under this fund with my high year being that ending tiarch 31st, 1940 when over 352,- 100 was the amount.

Following 1948 contributions dropped off rapidly to 816.000 for 1950-51. There are probably a num- ber of explanat.ons for this dec- line but certainly one factor was inc realization by potato dealers that the collection of the lc levy could probably not be legally en- forced.

Early in 1949 the Potato Indus- v-gs Promotional Committee was Iu1'lTleCI and bad on it representa- i1l'e5 from the Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture, the Plant Protection Division and Inspec- !lOl'l service of the Federal Gov- crnment growers and dealers. l'his committee, with a few changes .n membership is still functioning under the amended Act of 1940 known as the Plant Diseases Eradi- cation Act. t

By 1950 the Government of the rwnrince could see that shortly. winds coming in under the 1c levy :ould probably soon be inadequate for protectionmnd pr ” of the industry. This belief, probably. in part influenced the Govern- ment in its decision agreeing to set. up in August 1950, the Prince Edward Island Potato Marketing Board. It was felt that under the potato scheme legal authority would be set up for the collection of the levy. However, the supreme Court of Canada ruled otherwise. Once the Potato Board came into being collection of funds for ad- vertising and disease control be- came its responsibility, s respon- sibility which it has encountered Mime difficulty in discharging due to court action on the levy and -iifficulty in administration of the ..r-ence system as it appliu to pro- ducers, many of whom did not mderstand that a portion of their licence would be used for the a- hove mentioned purpose.

0 O O

The Potato Scheme provided for 'iie setting up of committees for :rie advancement of the industry and early in its history the Board named the Potato Promotional Committee with all its members as its own Promotional Committee. The Potato Board and the com- :r.i:.tee in question have worked iiosely together and in actual practice the Board has done ad- xcrtlzinl and promotion on behalf cf the committee in accordance with its general recommendations.

The committee has at times znsde funds available to the Po- wvo Board for these purposes and the Board has itself endeavoured to 'vuiintain.at a reasonable level the rommittee funds. In the period ..ncler review the committee ad- mncr-d to the Potato Marketing Board 310,000 for promotional pur- llases which amount was repaid lo the committee during the past Niirlns. in addition the Board has I'so expended some 35,000 of its own funds for the same purpose.

At. this point it is important for .: uwers who are interested in the '.'iire of the industry to realize ':lTiL the Potato Board is at the ll'iililC1'lL. the only body which has inn legal power to raise funds for ll ntcction and promotion. Its suc-

ONTARIO TRO UBLE3

It should almost be unnecessary to state that genuine concern will be evident on the part of our citizens with respect to the very serious disaster inflicted up- on the Toronto area of Ontario. The Winnipeg flood of 1060 was no flash flood. but rather s creeping paralysis which gave those in- volved sufficient warning of the peril and resulted in only two deaths. The loss of life in Ontario was extremely high due to lack of warning of the rushing danger.

Our farmers will perhaps bet- ter understand the plight of far- mers on the Bradford Marsh. an area of intensive production which was only brought under cultlvs. tion after a great deal of hard work by people of Dutch extrac- tion. This marsh covers an area of roughly 7,000 acres and has A Population of 3,000 people all of whom were forced from their homes during the flood, even the beautiful Dutch Reform Church rested up to its window sills in this newly formed lake covering substantial quantities of unhar- vested crops.

This Province is singularly free from disasters of this nature and it is indeed rarely that nature in-l fllcts any really serious damage upon us. i

CATASTROPHE INSURANCE

The province of Ontario has a well developed Co-operative Med- lical Society which has done very worth while work on behalf of its members. In planning for 1955 the Society hopes to set up special provision of its members who might be the victims of protracted and expensive illnesses.

Briefly, the new yn aims to! provide protection covering thei secon . third and possibly. fourth. and ffth thousand dollars of the' expense incurred.

FRENCH GRAND CHADIPION l

The French Agricultural Show in Paris has is very special class for champion dairy cows, the selec- tion of these animals involves a very exhaustive analysis of all the factors which go to make up a really satisfactory animal. Forty points out of one hundred are allowed for mill: and butter pro- duction oovering a forty-two month period. Another forty points are allotted covering feed con- sumed. economy of production and regularity in breeding. Finally, twenty points are given for con- formation and in this. the suit- ability of the animal foi- meat pur- poses is also considered.

This method of Judging an ani- mal would appear to be a fairly efficient manner of selecting the, most valuable animals. A cow must also make efficient use of her feed and show the constltutioni to stand the heavy production. shel must be good to look at and must also be it suitable type to bring a good return for meat when her career is finished.

looking Par Mother No. 2

LONDON (AP)-The advertise- ment read: "Wanted-mother No. 2. In about 10 months, according to doctors, mother No- 2 might, become mother No. l."

Mrs. Kathleen Ford, 42, ex- plained Monday her husband, Jack,

her 18 months to live.

"And," she said. "before I die I want to know there is someone to take my place as mother-and perhaps as wife."

While Mrs. Ford lies in s. hos-i pital bed, her husband looks after, himself in their two - bedroom apartment. Sheila, their eight-,- year-old adopted daughter, has to- live with foster parents.

"It's not much of a life for either Sheila or Jack." said Mrs. Ford. "Someone has to look afterl them. I can't - so why should I stand. in the way of someone tak- ing my place."

Jack, a house decorator. said "about three weeks ago my wife said I ought to find a woman to help in the home. Then a neigh- bor suggested the advertisement. I talked it over with Kathleen and she agreed. If I could get some- one to be a real mother to Sheila I would hope eventually to marry her.

"You see." he said. "I have al- ready cried my tears for my wife."
