The following letter will be of
special interest to the farmers of this
province, showing as it does the pos-
sibilities in the growing of seed
potatoes of the needed varieties.
Charlotetown, P. E. 1., Nov. llth, 1918.
Geot W. liarison, Esq., Manager,
The Canadian Bank of Coinerco,
Charlottetown. '
I IO*
Dear Sir: .
1 have to report that ns tt result oi'
the prize offered by you on behalf oi'
The Canadian Bank of Commerce a
larger number of fields of white rose
potatoes than would otherwise have
been the case whern entered
for field inspection by our
seed inspection service, and
we were able to list n sutilcient
amount of seed potatoes of i.l\e high-
est quality to induce buyers In need
of such stock to come into our mark-
et. Three carloods of white seed
potatoes have been sold under govern-
ment inspection and guarantee, pro-
bably the first. straight cars of such
potatoes ever shipped from Prince
Edward Island. The scheme \vhich
you have financed has materially altl-
ed to this end.
Through the prizes offered by you
we -.vera cuuhlcd to inspect eighty-
seven fields of potatoes made up ot
the following varieties;-forty-six of
Green Mountains; eleven of Irish Cob-
blers; seven of Early-“Rose---anti
twenty-three of other varieties. Ot'
the competitors forty-four resided in
Prince County, thirty-four in Kings
County and nine in Queens County.
The main point of interest to those
who are familiar with the seed potato
trade was the comparatively large
amount of Green Mountain seed fmuid
which was practically free from the
Mosaic disease. In the main potato-
lrowing regions of Canada and the
United States the average pen-.entagc
of Mosaic in this variety is about 2?.
per cent. Mosaic is responsible for u
boa of only 20 to 30 per cent. of the
rrop under' our cool conditions, but
in warm latitudes, where the demand
br our see d potatoes exists, it may
reduce the yield to almost nothing.
As this disease is unusually difficult
io control, the fact that Prince Ed
word Island has u considerable
amount ot seed which is practically
bee means an usual advantage. ,-
Consideringthe fact that there has
been no inducement in the past to
grow varities free from mixtures, the
e Bank. A ' A
inspection lrevealed satisfactory a
state in this respect. On the other
hand some owners of good fields were
disappointed when their crops' were
found to be mixed and were marked
down on that ucount. Freedom from
mixture is a very important point in
seed potatoes. The general care
given to the potato crop in cultivation,
weeding and hilling, which is un im-
Iportant aid in the prevryition of rot.
I
is not what it should be, Spraying isI
found to be rapidly increasing in use,
with excellent results lo growers and
shippers. 'Pho seed trade can never
.bc developed in Prince Fdwartl ls-
lnnd without thorough spraying.
I l have pleasure in recommending
that the prizes be awarded to the fol-
_lnwiug men who had the best fields.
in the order given; lu respr-ct oi'
freedom from diseases which affect
the seed, freedom from mixtures,

" End of the War.
' _ Immediately after the .Armistice was signed the
King sent the following messages to the Empire, the
Army, the Air Forces and the Navy: I
'ro 'ru I-1 'EMPIRE
“At the moment when the Armistice was signed
y bringing, I trust, a final end to the hostilities which
have convulsed the whole world for more than four
years, I desire to send a mes sage of greeting and heart-
felt gratitude to my overse as peoples, whose wonderful
efforts and sacrifices have c ontribnted so greatly to sec-
the fight for justice and lib erty. Together we can now
rejoice at the realization of those great aims for which
“The outbreak of the W ar found the whole Emplre
one. I rejoice to think that the end of the struggle finds
the Empire still more closely united by common res-
olve, held firm through all vicissitudes by suffering
and sacrifice, and by dangers and triumphs shared to-
gether. I
. “The hour is one of solemn thanksgiving of gratit-
through all perils, and crow ned our arms, with victory.
Let-us.be.ar__o1n:trinmph in the same spirit of fortitude
and self-control with which we have borne our dan-
gers.” _ I ~ I
_ To the Army, the King expresses his pride at the
brilliant success which has crowned more than four
years of effort; and endurance,
"Germany, our most formidable enemy who plan-
ned the war to gain supremacy of the world, full of
pride in her armed strength and of contempt for the
small British Army of that day, has now been forced to
acknowledge dc*'eai;." he says. “I rejoice that in th‘.~1
achievement the British forces, now grown from 
borne so gallant and distinguished part. Soldiers of the
British Empire, in France and Belgium the power. of
your arms, as great in retre at as in victory, has won the
admiration of all-friend a nd foe-and has now by a

has more than once stared you in the face. Your ranks
have been thinned again and again by wounds, sickness,
' and death. But your faith has never faltered;your cour-i
feat. With your Allied comrades you have won the day.
“Others of you have fought in more distant fields,
in the mountains and plains of Italy, in rugged Balkan
by the shores of the Dardan elles.
“I pray that God, who has been pleased to grant a
victorious lend to this great crusade for justice and

Phillip Gibbs, the wcll known war

that the Armistice hnd been signed.
l stopped on my way to Mons. Out-
sldc brigade headquarters an oiilf-or
sold: “llostilitios will cease ut
eleven o'clock." Then h c added, us
all men in their hearts, "Thank God
for that." '
All the way to Mons there were
columns of troops on the march with
their bands playing ahead oi' them.
and almost every man had u flag on
bin rifle, the red, blue and white or
France, the red, yellow and black of
Belgium. 'I'-hey were .owcrs in their
caps and in their tunlcs, red ond white
cin~ysun-themums given them by
crowds of people who cheered them
on their way--people who in many of
those villages have been only one day
liberated from the Gorman yoke.
Our men marched, singing with :1
smiling light in _their eyes. They had
done their job. und it was ilnished
with greatest victory in the world.
The war ended for us at Mons, as
it begun there. When I went into this
town this morning it seemed to me tl
