W. Boulter: , ' We have met again at our Elev- enth annual busineas meeting. The past year has in many cases been one of the most trying since the Association began its work. Faced in the fall with a light demand for seed, a. largeyield of potatoes, an increased membership of growers, it required the most careful con- sideration on the part of your management to handle the situ- ation, to avoid loss to our mem- bers, some having in out-buildings potatoes which would be frozen or chilled i: left late in the season. Your management, knowing there was a tendency on the part of pur- chasers in the south to delay buy- ing until spring, found it neces- sary to. arrange for storage, which would take care of the surplus seed, ¥d yet not apparently glut seed. last. fall: bushel. bushel. bushel. bushel. the in ket at the port where seed was dis ributed, or cause‘ too heavy a charge for storage. To this end they were fortunate in securind space with the Halifax Harbor Commissioners, where they could store their seed potatoes at a flat rate—that is, if they found it nec- essary to begin storm! in N0?- ember, and these potatoes remain- ed until March, the rate would be the same as if stored for a month only. This suited our circumstanc- es, and by early December over three hundred care had been taken from the growers and plaped in Halifax. This was in addition to the large volume which were shipped direct to Port Newark in steamers, and stored for delivery in small or large quantities, as occasion might require, during the late nil and early winter. Markets Unsatisfactory ‘This part of the story is easily told, and does not appear to in- volvc any difficulty. Beyond this point, the business caused great concern, due in a large extent to unsatisfactory markets, which from early spring continued to get worse, until by the first of May there was a complete‘ collapse to the potato market, and your Association was. with every other potato dealer, ob- liged to suffer, because of stock which was on hand to load, or at de-tlnatlon. to Due to Ferry life-up Never before were we in such all unfortunate position, to meet a failing market. This was due en- tirely to the tic-up of the Car Rrry during March 1nd April. The middle of March found uh with a lgrge number of can loaded, both of seed and tabieetock. Then there was the impossibility to Act cars; an embargo was placed on the cars. Following this, we began loading for alfpment by steamers, and by the first of May, a tremendous quantity pad been chipped from Georgetown, or were assembled ready for shipment. . To give you some flee of why itwusodiffieuittodlllidloofbil‘ tatcel thus assembled. let me tell yeuuut the Railwly advise dur- ing the month or April. they fer- W01’!- we an glad that our members large have nctbeeaobiigcd to suffer be- tliat of others. and la fact. we believe tint ia_a1moat every cine they have been fortunate in llavlngtblir dealing: through the crlanimticn, rather than attempt- ing to phce their own potatoes on the market. be- Increaled Handling: . Turning to our fiinancial state- ment, howevcr, we would like to draw your attention to the sum- mary of work carried on during the past. year. You will note on the last page of your statement, the association handled a total of 2,240,500 bushels of potatoes turnips-or an increase of thirty percent over the volume handled the previous year. We considered at our last annual meeting we done a very large business, and yet you will note we were able to in- crease that business during past year by almost one-third. or this quantity we are pleased to in- dicata that 1,208,000 bushels were certified seed; and had transport- ation been available during March and April, it would have possible for us to have placed a still larger quantity of certified and had the been Your financial statement carries the following information, gards prices at which the first half million bushels of seed were sold I5 TC- 6,062 bushels at $1.28 per bushel. 87,783 bushels at 88 cents per 232,213 bushels at 67 cents per 7,173 bushels at 51 cents -per 196,830 bushels at 48 cents per This is the net price, after de- ducting the cost oi the sacks, and the assembling charges. This av- erages ~64 cents per bushel. Addit- ional sales were made at prices. The large quantity placed in storage were also sold on the lower markets. The management ‘is strong ly convinced that it was in the in- terests of our members to handle the potatoes offering last fall, as we! did, thus having them where they were available for the mar- kets when required. In addition to this. more than 200,000 bushels were handled during the year as table stock, making the total of potatoes of this grade handled by your Association, most one and a half million bush- els. Due to the lateness at which our potatoes arrived at destination, we were obliged to refuse thous- ands of sacks, and even some of the orders confirmed, were so late in arriving that the parties refused acceptance. lower al- Stressed Quality During the year we endeavored stress the importance of qual- ity. We were not always success- ful in securing the quality the mar- ket. demanded. Quite often potat- oes were shipped which were infer- ior in quality, and yet they met the requirements of Number One regulations, that is, the size of the small was within the limit of the regulations. We wish every member could . that he is not working in his own ' interests, nor in the interests of the industry, when he attempts to market an inierior article. It would seem to me that it would be well worth while for the Association to initiate its own grading on tabiestock. the Canada realize regulations for Perfect Seed Grade As for the seed, the requirements are for a larger sized potato, with the very large ones eliminated, thus making a perfect grade, so far as size is concerned; and we are pleased to tell you the reports re- ceived thia year have been the best W‘ he hill’- we have ever received. This, in _view of the increased quantity sold, is a comforting feature of the year's arethcss wordl: CARDIN OI‘ ‘IRE GULF DIED »I POPULAR.

Must ‘Use Ana's: Sacks Right here we would like to im- press on our members this fact. that in the coming year we shall insist that you either use the seed sacks bearing our brand, for ship- ments to the Association, or return them to your man in charge. Also that we will not take seed put up in sacks bearing the brand and trade mark of any other dealer. In fact, we feel that we should not handle even tablestock which docs not carry our own mark. We could, however, accept tablestock in sacks which are merely stamped Prince Edward Island, without the trade mark and mme of any private deal- er. Our Directors are becoming more and more determined to pro- tect our own brand, and to do so we shall insist on the complete control of all potatoes put up in our own sacks. Threat of Duties We feel there is a big future for our seed. We have been threaten- er with disaster because of-dutiea. The nght which was put up two or three years ago by your Assoc- iation, through the-united organ- izatoins in the South, who purchase our seed, has already been told. While we were successful in having the increase in duty from _benlg ap- plied for an extra year, we were c.1- so successful in having only fifty percent of the increaseasked for by the American growers put into operation during the past year. which meant a twenty five cents a hundred pounds ~more duty than we formerly paid. You will re- member that they asked for an in- crease of fifty cents. This assist- ance given us by the growers 0f the South, merits our appreciat- ion, and we must guard jealously any attempts which might antag- We have been faced during the past month or two vzith the insist- ent demand of growers in parts of Quebec, Ontario and British Col- umbia, for a seasonal duty, which would mean an embargo against the few care of new potatoes which are shipped at this time of the year, and during the last month, into Canada. Our contention is, that such a seasonal duty would benefit but a very few, and. they in sections of country which have many advantages over the Mari- times. Any benefit they might re- ceive would be but temporally, while such an action would mean the permanent disaster to our seed trade, and would give a black eye to the growers in the South, who stood so valiantly behind us when their own country was revising its tariffs. I may tell you, that your Association has been keenly active, in watching this situation, and may assure you that it has had the whole-hearted support of our Fed- eral member at Ottawa. Fertilizer Duties You will recall that at our Jan- uary meeting. a resolution was passed, protesting against a duty on fertilizers. ‘This resolution was forwarded to the proper authorities and was taken under consideration. While a. duty was not imposed on chemicals, it. was imposed on Mix- ed Fertilizers, and so far as we can learn, up to the end of May over 104,000 tons were imported in- to Canada, on which a duty of over $144,000 has been paid. We have always felt that the raw p-Qyst used by the farmer "in the man- ufacturing of the product which he must look to for his livelihood, should not be subject to a tax or duty of ahy kind. It is very evident that the far- mer has suffered more than any- one else during the past year. It is true, he makes less fuse over it than anyone else. He simply takes on his loss and plcds away, determined that he will not quit, and will car- ry on with his reduced revenue as As an evidence of this, turn a- gain to our financial statement.

Personally, I may tell you, I have never gone through such a gruel- ling experience as that of April, May and June of our past year. we -know nothing about it in Prince Edward Island, and I think the reason has already been giv- en-that is, we are an agricultural bountry, our people are all farm- ers, and as has been said, they take their loss and suffer in silence. The management of your Association is ever on the alert to keep in line with anticipated changes which may effect our industry. We are non political, therefore, we are fearless in our attacks on an! movement which threatens our safety. This policy we have always followed, and in years past, as well as at the present time, we tention oi’ the higher authorities, a true picture, setting forth the real needs of one of the greatest industries in our province. The outlook at present may not be very bright, and yet no one can forsee what may happen be- fore the fall shipment begins. We realize that money is scarce.

There has always been a market at some price, and if there is a. market a- vailable anywhere, your Associat- ion will find it; and if you approve of the way we protected your crop last year, and saved the disaster of having upwards of half a million bushels of seed left in the prov.- ince, then we shall again under- take, with greater enthusissm than ever before, to protect the present crop, when the time comes fo marketing it. - Now, gentlemen, I wish to thank you for the co-operation you have given us during the past year, your COmmCffi-uiiuu have been apprec- lated, and quite generous. Your criticisms for the most part have not been unkind, and We are pleas- ed to say were few in number. Al- so, that in most cases, they were withdrawn after an explanation had been made. With your loyal assistance and faithfulness to ‘the Association, it will become a still greater factor in the agricultural life of this pro- vince. NEW‘ CHURCH Continued from page 1 Rev.

Champion, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent) BISLEY CAMP, England, July 12 —Excellent shooting was seen as four of the most important service rifle shoots were fired in the Na- tional Rifle Association's great Em- pire meeting yestcrday. As on prev- ious days, the Canadian military marksmen were consistently good and made their way into the prize lists, but the leading Canadians were just a. trifle short of the per- fection attained by e. very select few among the thousands of crack riflemen who have come here from- all over Great Britaln and from far distant parts of the Empire. The Wimbledon Cup and $50 was won by Major Bahly, late of the In- dian Army, one of the Bisley "stars" who posted a possible of 50 in this match, fired at 600 yards. Lieut. Desmond Burke, of Ottawa, the Canadian leader, had 48 to win $10. The Daily Mail Silver Cup shot at 500 yards ended in a tie between Sergeant MacCailum of the Argyle and Sutherland Regiment and Ser- geant Bolton of the Tank Corps, each having a possible 50- Here, Company Sergeant Major G. M. Emslie, of Toronto. s. veteran at Bisley, led the Canadians with 49 to win $22. The Times Silver Tro- phy. shot at 200 yards concluded in a tie between five marksmen who were able to get possibles of 50. Lieut. Desmond Burke, who seems to be at the top of his form, and Major T. Spittal, of Montreal, a newcomer to Bisley, jointly led the Canadians with 48's. The fourth feature of the day was the Duke of Cambridge lyshoot st the comparatively long range-for service rifles-of 900 yards. Crack marksman tied for the first three Ipiaces, while Lieut. Burke, again leading the Candians, returned an excellent score of 49. finishing in a tie for one of the $20 awards. This marked the fourth of six big shoots in which the best Canadian was only one point behind the high- est score credited by any compeg- ltor. iii. George, Lord Robert cecii and oth- er prominent peraonages on the platform, was quickly put down and the woman responsible for it was hustled out of the hall.

Other Sunday papers concentrated more on the political aspects of the situation with spec- ial reference to the precarious sit- uatlon of the Brueriing Government. Outside of news columns, editor- ial writers, and others attempted to give their readers some clue through the maze of pas; events. Al though a great divergence of views naturally were expressed in their columns, there was practical un- animity in declaring the position grave in the extra-inc- and that grav- ity largely due to delay in Paris, while the French and United Stat- es repreaentatives were‘discussing the Hoover proposal. Other count- ries besides the United States, Ger- many and France have drawn a measure of British attention. Advices from Brussels indicated there was a. possibility Belgium would refuse the invitation to send representatives to the experts‘ con- ference in London opening next Friday.
