Kirk pointed out that the iency position of the Mari- in most food products ia- ted the logic of atiempting fill these. Possibly the next rtant point was the need for farmers to excel in the tion of a quality article. Island would never have into the potato business in ‘beginning except for the fact it produced a potato ,of sup- quality. ' Finally Mr. Kirk pointed cut advantages that we have due our small size when it comes organizing in a™ provincial = Mr | something contract farming and Vertical Integration. The final chapter in the meet- ing was the outline by Mr. Sal- omi of the possibility of flax pro- duction in a_commercial way with a processing plant to pro- duce linseed oil and meal. The meeting suggested that the Ied- eration set up a committe: to study this matter. DAIRYMEN With 60 years of experience the Dairymen’s Association had special to egive this year’s meeting added interesi. The annual meeting which start- ed in the Legion Hall at 10:20 in the morning and continued through the afternoon,, was very well attended and. produced live- ly discussion and demonsirated that even after sixty years an organization can be energetic and lively. ; The feature event was of course Charlottetown Hotel. Attended by pver 260 persons this gather- ing gave very close attention to the various features of a quite lengthy program. The feature speaker was of course the Hon- ourable Mr. Harkness who de- monstrated a very active inter- est in the agricultural affairs of the province by making his time available with the House still meeting in Ottawa. A function of this kind 1s not merely one, which provides en- tertainment. It has a very use- ful purpose—that of inerca:ing the prestiger of agriculture ‘in general and or improving the opinion which the public holds ea ee DY the banquet in the evening at the} ee ae iE hur said that nothing more could be done now to locate the body of. 41-year-old Moore, of Wood Island.

The greetings winch were expressed by persons pro- minent in Government, in farm organizations and from _ other provinces gave the whole occas- ion a much broader implication | that might otherwise have been the case if confined entirely to local people. The prizes which were award- ed to various personnel in dairy plants for outstanding work were all well merited. A happy nov- elty was the recognizing of the date of the occasion March 18 by presenting a fine gift to the 18th lady who entered the ban- quet hall. s ‘ FERRY SERVICE Federatiog interest In matters of transportation were high- lighted by the passing oa Tues- |day night’s meeting of a resolu- tion calling upon the proper authorities to make provision for the continuation in a satis- factory and adequate manner of the ice breaking car fer-y cer- vice at Borden. The resviution suggested that there anpears to be considerable concern on the part of many people as to the condition of the ferries after ex- tended periods of heavy service. | MARCH The month of March !{s now verging towards its “lose with- out having vroduced any real mild weather. Certainly it is an advantage so far as our roads and highways are concerned and should serve to shorten the mud- dy period which plagues this part of the world. Many fie'ds have large areas @6vered with ice, a condition certainly not favour- able to hay and grass crops.\ In addition the small amount of snow means that fields will be bare for a long period and like- ly subjected to alternate freez- ing and thawing.

The shippers west of St. Elea- nors and East of Mount Stewart were required to pay three cents more in each case, he observed. This. was a definite discrimina- tion and, on a—small_profit-msr- gin, shut these areas out of these markets. . One freight zone for the whole Province for shipments to all points was something that the House Transportation Commit- tee might well add to their re- commendations, the Kings Con- servative said. RAPS BOARD Mr. Rossiter rapped the pre- sent marketing board and the department of agriculture for the publicity given complaints respecting the quality, weight amd grade of Island tablestock shipments this present season. This adverse publicity hurt' the potato market at the time, the member from Morell declared. Such views should be handed cn to the local inspectors for reme- dial action, and not be released indiscriminately, he said. A marketing board or other similar body could do very little to help marketing. unless the people of Canada could be per- suaded to eat more potatoes. Tn the period in which the nation’s population ‘had increased 50 per cent, the consumption of potatoes Tobacco To Be (Continued from page 1) of his praise for the present Board felt that a board or as- sociation representing the whole industry was the most desir- able and promised, “As soon as the growers, over 60 percent of them, get together and form a board we will back them to the fullest.’ Mr. Cullen felt a potato or- ganization should be concerned with other things as well as marketing. He took for example the Dairymen’s Association which he said was raising $12- 14 thousand a year for pro- motion purposes. An amation of the Po- tato Promotion Committee and a marketing Board might be a good idea, said Mr. Cullen. LASHES OUT The Minister lashed out strongly against what he term- land industries and | suggested that those who make radio speeches learn the facts before they make statements in pub- lic which he claimed were not only misleading but unpatriotic. In this connection he dealt at « Markets Warns Rossiter declined 40 per cent, Mr. Ros- siter asserted. ? Speaking of marketing boards, the member from Morell asked his colleagues to explain at some future “date what had happened the resolution in respect of this issue that he (Mr. Douglas) had placed on the order paper last year. “He either took cold feet or somenody stole~it;’ Mr. Rossiter observed. “ARBITRARY ACTION” Taking over the Griffin plants in Souris without the knowledge of all the’ shareholders was a “very arbitrary action’’ on the part of the government, Mr. Rossiter said. Only two were re- presented at one meeting and none at the second. Since the P.E.I. Industrial De- velopment Corporation took over the plants, two wells had been drilled by the firm of Douglas Brothers and Jonesh, one costing $16,583, the other only $1,134, Mr. Rossiter noted. ‘‘Why the $15,000 difference?”’ he inquired. R.R. Bell: “They must have been boring for oil.” The former owners had got along with only one well, the Second Kings representative re- marked. He said he was surprised to hear Hon. Mr. Clark refer to the roads-to-gesources program as a “sand dune to sand dune project’. Did he include the Seven Mile Road in this class- ifica‘ion, the Morrell , member asked. RESENTMENT SEEN Mr. Rossiter said that he was sure the people of the St. Peter's wick or Quebec was $20 short of that amount. He said many farmers realized good returns from growing broc- coli and brussel sprouts and one Person growing cauliflower made $700 out of a small acreage. He read a letter from a woman who was well pleased that she had netted $75 from a quarter of an acre of beans. SHOULD. BOOST “We should get together and boost our Island industries - that are giving employment and keep- ing our young people on the farm instead of going through the country knocking them’’, said the Minister. The Minister sald that in spite of some snive remarks and nasty rumors that had been circulated about the eviscerating plant at Summerside, the plant was doing an excellent job. He said the government had built the plant at Summerside be- cause it offered thé best facilities at hand. The $42,000 which it cost to build the plant, he said, would have cost $100,000 anywhere else without the cold storage and canning facilities close at hand. Speaking of the poultry industry in general, Mr. Cullen said the outlook was not to cheerful at the some Jength with the operations of the Frosted Food plant at Sherwood. He said the plant dur- | ing its first year of operations! had ‘done fairly well” and he predicted that with more exper- iepce, resulting \in' bigger yields a ter quality of products greater success could be expect- ed this coming season. Mr. Cullen said it would be dif- ficult to believe that during the 1920's anyone could grow 400 bus- hel of potatoes to the acre. As a ernment tesi, the “minister not- ed. Farmers selling whole milk | in Towns or incorporated vill- | ages were required to purchase | the necessary license he inform: | éd Mr. Myers. This provision had been in the statute books for 21 years. Leo Rossiter (PC-2nd Kings) said he was not aware that such| a situations (paying lower prices for milk surpluses delivered) | obtained on the Island. | He said he could not under- stand why such firms could stay in the business.

EXPLAINS PEA PRICE He said mention had been, on two or three occasions in the House of the small price Island growers received for peas. He felt there were rea- ed: 1. Some thought it was going to be a gold mine and when they didn’t make a lot of money over night they said the industry was no good. 2. The crop in some in- stances wasn’t what it should have been. 3. The price paid per ton was less than in Ontario. “Of course;” said Mr. len, “They didn’t stop to find out the price paid on the Island considerably higher than in New Brunswick and Quebec’’. As ax example, he showed that] a farmer who grew 35 acres of peas in New Brunswick réceived $1,656 but‘if he had sold them under the same contract held by Island farmers, he would have received $1,885. On top of this the' Islanders had their peas harvest- that was both present time. He gaid 90 percent of the poultry being produced in Canada today was being done through the vertical intergration method and it was almost im- possible for the small producer “to make a dollar’ in the in- dustry. INDUSTRIAL HELPED Mr. Cullen enumerated a num- ber of industries on the Istand which the government had help- b. | order || where showed that the aS . ‘ <able Head area would re- sent the intimation gthat they were living on sand dune, . as would the people living. in the Premier’s district. The government should call tenders when coal or other fuel. fertilizers or grass: seeds were to be purchased, the Morell merchant said. _An-answer (qa question on the. paper the government had stated that coal was. purchased from a certain dealer in Char- lottetown at $19 per ton, while information he had secured else- same dealer was selling the same coal to the federal government for $16.85 per ton. Considering that the Island government secured perhaps 2,- 000 tons from this dealer, the Payment of $4,000 extra was a considerabel amount to throw away, particularly in view of the tough financing job facing the Frovincial Treasurer, --Mr. ter added. GREAT L@SS ° In view of the amount of pur- chases made annually for such institutions .as Riverside Hos- pital, Hillsboro Hospital and Beach Grove, the total loss must be great under the non-tender policy, he said. The handling of the hospital insurance act on the part of the government was ‘“‘most incon- sistent’, the Kings Conservative stated. It was voluntary first, then mandatory, then voluntary again. If the Ottawa officials ad- vised the mandatory section, it should have been left there. The Opposition were not urg- ing the mandatory clause in their arguments Tuesday, Mr. Rossiter said in answer to an interjection by Hon. Dougald MacKinnon. They were merely objecting to the government's action in first assuring the people a vol- 25k i ~ | Hl sil i fete ; ‘ ; 5 = FF | | g & 3 ef d fi E.

He said the Eastern Fisheries had three quarters of their loan paid back. He said two fish smoke hou at Egmont Bay were produci an excellent product and were expanding in their operations. MAN BEHIND IT Mr. Cullen gave most of the credit for this tremendous expan- sion im tfie fisheries industry to Mr. Eugene Gorman, depty min- ister of fisheries, whose fore- sight and tenacity, he said, would not allow’ him to quit even when so caled authorities shook their heads and said it couldn’t be done. \ The Minister made reference to the role played by the Island Cold Storage plant which he said has hand'ed over 30 million lbs. of Yarm products including but- ter, strawberries and blue ber- ries. He said in the strawberry business alone the farmevs of the Island had been saved many thousands of dollars by the fac- flities provided by Government Cold Storage. ' “It is a service to our people”, said Mr. Culen, “and while profit is not objected to ,t is net our prime motive.
