Let me tell you something about these chain grocery stores and how they operate. They go direct to the Producer for their supplies of all kinds. and this means that their potato buyer is Johnnie on the spot l" the Pfitqto fields of Maine. so now it is only reasonable to believe that the other fellow who is buying and speculating for the Boston marketi will buy as cheap as he can in orderi to mokc a reasonable profit for him-l self and still give the Boston ped- dlei‘ and old time grocer a chancel to compete in price with the higiil powered chain store.

I have seen a somewhat similar operation oii the Island about the time I was learning the multiplica- tion table when Nova Scotia fish tubs used to come to the different ports around the Island. The cap- tains of those fish tubs in many cases had spot cash or bank draft sufficient to cover the charges for a cargo. as a rule they went to the merchant and generally done bus- iness with the one who would load liiiii for the lowest price. The farm- 8i‘ in those days was at the mercy of the incl-chant. and besides that lic knew very little about market conditions, growing, storing, handling or what was the best variety of po- tato for a certain market. I have seen many of those fish tubs with cargoes of potatoes from P. E. I. tidc up side by side at Commercial Wharf in Boston with deck loads of. rotten potatoes ready to be scowed‘ out the harbor to be dumped. I wishi I had the time to my observations and information on that one phase of your Island po-|, tatocs in the years when the farm- ei" on P. E.

A good many of the farmers did so. and the result was that in a few years this partic- ular section of the Province of Que-| bec became o vcry prosperous and! progressive dairyliig community, so the upshot of it was they told Uncle Slmi to go to blazes. The point I wish to convey. don't let the ship sink. stay at the pump hnndle until help will come. You don't have to rely entirely on potatoes. You can got into cattle, you can got into pig i-lilsing, you can go into sheep and you can go into poultry raising, and let me tell you right here that if any of you farmers are gazing towards Boston you are simply neglecting opportunities under your own feet. and as long as you keep on neglect- ing them you will be in the doldroms and making no headway. Let me tell you something about poor little Biddy. I don't know of any place that is better adapted to the keeping of hens on a good size scale as P. E. I. Supposing you keep a hundred hens to the acre and not ten acres to the hen. Supposing you keep a flock of two. three. four. or five hundred and concentrate your mind and work on your duties near- est home and still not forget your other activities which will be pleas- urable while your poultry will be profitable. I work for a concern that is con- sidered without an equal in the world in reliability and progressive- ness. They are nearly one hundred years in the business, they are still taking suggestions and willing to stand criticism. They handle an en- ormous quantity of fresh eggs daily. They buy direct from farmers In Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont, Rhoda Island and Massachusetts. The fanners ship by express. pay express charges, pay charges on re- turned casea, pay for the egg cases and fillers. stand whatever loss may show in candllng. Those fannera in many cases have to buy all feed and still they make a. profit with a lot of expense attached. They know how to cure for hens. The avenge farmer on P. I.
