     Owing to unavoidable circumst~ 
     
     mucus, the following paper by Mr 
     
     (l. PurtridgeChief Potato Inspector, 
     
     was not read at the tneetlttg of the 
     
     Potato Growers’ Association at 
     
     Charlottetown during Farmers‘ 
     
     Week. ' 
     
    

    
     Although I was very pleased to 
     
    

    
     receive an invitation to address you 
     
     at your annual meeting. I must 
     
     confess. that at first I felt some- 
     
     what at a loss to arrive at a decl- 
     
     sion as to ho\v far you are infornr 
     
     ed with regard to the details of tht- 
     
     potato inspection and certification 
     
     work which has been conducted in 
     
     this province since I915. l linw- 
     
     ever, came to the conclusion that it 
     
     might be assumed, since the work 
     
     has been in progress for a uttmber 
     
     of years under thesupervision of 
     
     one of the most experienced and 
     
     efficient members of the inspection 
     
     staff, and that a marked interest is 
     
     being evinced on the partaof the 
     
     potato growers in its application, 
     
     particularly since the formation of 
     
     your Association. which has done 
     
     so much to secure reliable markets 
     
     for certified seed potatoes, that you 
     
     ‘are all now fairly well informed 
     
     with regard to our side of the work 
     
     which we have sought to bring in- 
     
     40, effective co-operation .with the 
     
     effortsiwhich your Association is 
     
     putting forth in the interests of cer- 
     
     tified seed potato production. 
     
    

    
     However, as it is often claimed 
     
     that we cannot have too much 0t a 
     
     good thing, and as suppose we are 
     
     prepared to claim that t-he particul~ 
     
     ar line of work werare engaged in 
     
     is a good thing, it may not be ottt 
     
     of place here to briefly recapitul» 
     
     ate for the benefit of those who 
     
     may have only recently taken up 
     
     the production of certified seed pot- 
     
     atoes, some particulars with regard 
     
    

    
     , to the results obtained during the 
     
     past four years. 
     
    

    
     First of all. it may be said that

     dit of himself and the service he 
     
     represents. as well as to tht- bane 
     
     fit of the certified seed producing 
     
     industry. Last. but not least. l 118' 
     
     sire to compliment you Sir. the 
     
     Secretary, and the directorate of 
     
     your Association upon the efficient 
     
     and business-like manner in which 
     
     you have assisted the EPOWQTB in 
     
     obtaining and establishing markets 
     
     for certified seed potatoes produc- 
     
     ed on the Island. anti upon the 
     
     whole-hearted manner in which you 
     
     have co-operated with the Inspec- 
     
     tion servlce, for l think we are 
     
     all agreed thatfwhile the service is 
     
     a vital part of the machinery in the 
     
     certified seed work. yet it has its 
     
     limits and, after all, it would be un- 
     
     able to function to the best advant- 
     
     age if after a quantity of clean. 
     
    
   
   
    
     produced, no market for its con- 
     
     sumption were available. Here 
     
     then is the point at which an organ- 
     
     ization such as yours plays a role 
     
     and a most important role and, in 
     
     my opinion, great credit is due you 
     
     and your officers for the attainment 
     
     of such eminently satisfactory re» 
     
     suits as are set forth in the state- 
     
     ment of the Secretary to whichwa 
     
     have had the pleasure of listening 
     
     today, ' 
     
     . Now with regard to our part of 
     
     the work in certified seed potatoes: 
     
     during the past four years a largo 
     
     and increasing amount of this work 
     
     has been done in Prince Edward ls- 
     
     land. and I have here a few figures 
     
     which will perhaps throw emphasis 
     
     upon the point I wish to make. viz. 
     
     that the cooperative efforts of the 
     
    
   
   
    
     the Potato Growers’ Association. 
     
     have met with unqualified success‘. 
     
    

    
     In the year 1920,, 886 acres of pot- 
     
     atoes were inspected in Prince Ed- 
     
     ward Islund, and of this number. 
     
     523 acres passed field inspection

     Here is a, good rule for determitr 
     
     ing the number of bushels in a bin: 
     
    

    
     FOR A RECTANGULAR BIN- 
     
     Mllllillly ' tozether the length 
     
     breadth and depth. each in feet, and 
     
     multiply this product by 0.8, the 
     
     number of bushels in a cubic foot. 
     
     The result is the number of bush- 
     
     5015. Example: What is ‘the capacity 
     
     in bushels of n bin 6 fer-t wide, 8 
     
     jfeet long and 3 feet deep? Solution: 
     
     6 times S tithes litlmes v.8 equal 
     
     115.2 bushels. , 
     
    

    
     FOR A CIRCULAR BlN-lllttl 
     
     tiply the square of the diameter by 
     
     the depth, all in feet. and multiply 
     
     this product by fiveeigtlis. The re~ 
     
     suit is the number of bushels. Ex- 
     
     ample: I-low many bushels in a bin 
     
     whose diameter is 42 inches and 
     
     whose depth is 4 feet? Solution: 42 
     
     inches equal 3%- feet. Squaring 31/, 
     
     equals 12%. Now: 121,4 times 4 
     
     times 9t; equals 30.6 bushels.
