M. W. L. Brenton, Dairy Iauperintendant, Mr. Leo McDonald, Kmarrager of the ME IN POI!-W7 Association and Mr. John Gulls, :secretary of the Live Stool: Market- ’1ng Board took a leading port in the discussion. Mr. Wm. Craig was - 1,, me chair and after pointing out -the purpose of the meetii18 called on Ml‘. Brenton. Mr. Brenton in his remarks re- .'.ferred to the K19“ importance oi’ ‘the dairy industry and deplored the fact that so many of our crearneries _were in a struggling condition ow- ‘ing to small supplies of cream and competition between the different facioriw in selling the product. He urged the necessity cf co-op- eratlon in marketing butter and stated that as long as co-operation was limited to small groups there would be little progress. Mr. Alec. Hamilton asked about the committee that had been formed a few years ago for the pur- pose of drafting a scheme for co- oporfltive marketing of dairy prod- ucts and what had come of it. 111- formation, to the effect that the w- had been shell.-d by would- be ., ..cfr.cto1's, was derived. Mr. Leo McDonald in his opening l‘i3m:ll'ks paid ‘a tribute to the “little old hen." He said that the poultry industry was having a very sue- cessiul year. There was some scur- (qty (1 feed but he thought that it could be met in a. profitable man- ner if the people would codopei-ate on purchasing feed in large lotsand by culling their flocks at the pre- sent time when an expert cullerwus at iilfil‘ service free of charge. He ,rurd poultry prices might be lower ibis fall and advised the people to market their fcwl early- Mr. Gillis expressed regret that such an irnportant industry as dnirving should have such poor m‘~‘.‘lf)CL< of marketing. .He men- tioned having made some efforts mm pit‘ to form a marketing board for dairy products but these were .1lw.'l,\‘s met with oppzsition. He told of the growth of the shipping clubs and the benefits derived by the farmers from standing together and selling collectively when they were in a much better situation to dictate a price for their products. We must have better organized sell- ing agencies both in our own prov- ince and in the countries to which our product goes. In conclusion Mr. Gillie referred to the annual m ting oi the Live- stock Marketing §oard on Wednes- day and hoped that the younger people would show an interest in in make. Mr. J. A. Down: criticized the practice of buying very much of concentrated feed instead of prod- ucing more at home. He also stated he considered grading on the roll was in the interest of the packers and was not a fair and just basis on which to pay the runner for his pork. Before the meeting closed a. dis- cussion fork place on feed T114095 and better marketing possibilities and the general interest evinced bears testimony to the fact ihatthc pco;il{,- of New Perth and vicinity arc awake to the benefits of co-(rp- Cl'i'i‘.lOl'l and are determined to bet- ter he lot of agriculture asawhole.

The Foreign secretary’: state- ment was made in reply to a ques- tion by Geoffrey Mander.

B., July 15-851- utes marking some great occasion have taken various forms but pos- sibly thero has never been a. salute such as will mark Canada's rail- way centenary at noon, Tuesday, July 21st. next. when thousands of locomotives on Canadian National lines from coast to coast, including some 225 in the Maritime Prov- inces, whether hauling trains or at work in yards, along with shops and round houses will give voice to their part in the affair by a one minute blast from their steam whistles. Thus, the latest giant of the rail, the "6400" streamliner, the largest streamlined locomotive in the world and capable of speeds of 100 miles an hour which was re- cently delivered by her builders in Canada to the Canadian National system will salute her pl ‘eccssor, the Dorchester, the first engine in Canada, which started from La- pralrie for St. Johns Que., haul- ing the first passenger train over the Champlain and St. Lawrence Railway at noon on July 21st, 1836, ushering in the railway era in Canada and forming the first link in the chain of railways now part of the Canadian Nrtional System. In the Maritirrl lrovlnces the first steam locomotive. the "sam- som" was in operation in 1839 on a coal railway in Nova Scotia from Sfaeliarton to the "loading ground" on Pictou harbor, three years after Canada's first locomotive was put into operation hauling a train. Previous to this horsm were used. this coal railway being first laid down in 1827. The locomotive “Sarnson" is still in existence, be- ing housed in the Canadian Na- tional Railways station in Halifax. The first steam locomotive in op- eration in New Brunswick was the "Hercules." in 1854 between Mono- ton and Point du Cherie, the first section of European and North American Railway which ran from saint John to Point du Chene, on the strait of Northumberland, and now part of the National system to be operated for traffic. A rail- way company was formed in New Brunswick in 1835 in the con- structlon of a steam r-.ilway from St. Andrew: to Quebec to be known as the st. Andrews and Quebec Railway but the scheme fell through after surveys had been made. due principally to the Ash- burton Treaty of 1842 which ceded to the United states a part of the province through whlch the rail- way line was to be constructed. The date of the first steam loco- motive to be operated on Prince Edward Island was around 1873.

The following reports were then submitted: SECRETARYS REPORT "The report which is now about to be given, covers the marketing period extending from the 1st of July, 1935. to the end of June, 1936, outlining the‘ operations of your Marketing Board. "It is not my intention to weary you by going into minor details, but rather to give you briefly, a word picture of what has taken place during the last business year. “At the beginning of the season we anticipated. or at least hoped for, an increased measure of busi- nm, on account of the prospective increase in production. and as the season progressed it became ap- parent that our optimism in this respect was well founded. It re- mained however, fcvr the second part of the year to create a record, in that from the first of February on the volume increased to a very large extent. The month of April proved to be the heaviest hog ship- ping month for this or any season. "During the year we gave con- sidorable attention to other mat- ters which might well be termed organization efforts, as well as carrying on the actual work of marketing. “During the spring season we made a special effort to get I measure of control over the weaner pig trade, because of the fact that we felt that the markets serving as an outlet were being more or less exploited and producers were not receiving the.value they should for their young pigs. It was rather a difficult task, but we succeeded in handling upwards of one thous- and at a margin of difference of however, that this phase of the’ work can be greatly improved up- on by having proper connections made in Newfoundland with some responsible firm in that country to handle our output of young pigs. This is a matter that may very well receive the serious consider- ation of the new Board of Direct- ors. "Much time was aim given to drafting and preparing a Livestock Marketing scheme, under the terms of the Natural Products Marketing Act, with a view to hav- ing some measure of control over the various livestock marketing practices that we found to be det- rimental to the vvclfam of your organization. It may be sufficient to say that our scheme was pre- sented to the Dominion Marketing Board at Ottawa Ind ed through the various stages o cm- sideration and continuation up to the point where final sanction of the executive was required During and the Board will work in co- operation with thc fishery officers in the three counties. The loan can be used for the purchasing of fish- ing supplies, salt, nets, trawls, containers, oil clothing, flslunv boots, etc. It may be used also for repair or rent. of boats, or may be applied towards the purchase of boats. m-.c-~rreai:c- . LOAN OF $25,000 TO FISHERMEi Us Province Agrees To Contribute Equal Amount To Be Utilized In _Rehabiiitation'Of ; Needy Fishermen. ‘ The members of the Board witn- 1n the next few days will call at tliu different fishing centres to make arrangelnsnts with the fish- ermen and supply all application forms. Every case. it is stated. will be carefully investigated. In the case of flshermen's organizations A loan can be made on a per capltfl basis. Provision has been made for repayment of these loans on easy terms. and after a loan has been repaid it can be re-issued if neces- sary. The Provincial Government has also under consideration the de- velopment of the scallop areas in Prince Edward Island Water! These were discovered by the Fed- eral Department of Fisheries sev- eral years agc, and it is the ill- tention of the Provincial Flsheriu Board to procure a specially equin- ped boat. manned by an expert crew from Dig-by in order to make a thorough test of the possibilities‘ of securing scallops on them‘ grounds in commercial quantities» Such beds are off Covehead. East Point and between Souris and Annandale.
