E. I. in particular. _ 3 I am sure it is pleasure to note the hearty response given' to the call for increased crop production throughout the Dominion. Our farmers have re- sponded rlght heartily. and in so doing, have not only enriched them- shives but have greatly assisted the Empire in this very trying tlnie. n this as in m_any other ways Brit- sin‘s colonies have shown their toy- aity to the Empiro. If this war has done nothing else, lt: has proven the tloiidity of the Empire. We are proud of the to the call for men province.

This is e. busy age, time means money to our farmers, and we all find it hard to leave the farm work at any time. 7 Even in our Farmers institutes very few take the interest they should others say the Departlnent of Agricul- tllrc are not giving the assistance they sholltd to local instltlltes, or us much as they rlld prcviolmly. l feel filo Dc- purtment has given assistance to the farlncrs tllllt is.vcry ilarli to asti- mutc, and l hope and trust may con- tinue to do so; and I believe the farmers generally appreciate what 'has been done for them. Ally assist- ance given the Live Stock industry will be greatly appreciated. l trust we all realize the benefits derived from the "Standing Grain Competi- ion" and Seed Fairs. etc. Also the grading and marketing of wool, ami why not extend this to other lines as well? Also the horse market, so many ask nowadays, wily are not our horses being bought for ,war purposes? and our Province full ot' the very best. - 8 Will some one get intcrostcll at tilts important. work 7 ti T feel tllat. our farmers have not been dealt fairly with in tho matter oi' the l-outrlblltion of oats |'or the army fir-ld service.

I think gentlemen my report, in nl. ready loo long; no doubt: many ques- tions of importance will be before you for consideration.-In all our debates let us remember our high and honour- able calling and conduct our debates accordingly. And may the year in which we are just entering be a pros- perous one for our Empire in every respect. I t.rllst filo Control Instituto may extend its usefulness under a President more capfiillf ‘md 08€resstvc than I have been. Tho address was discussed clause by clause and clause nine ordered to be struck out. The Secretary pointed out that a letter had appeared in the same subject in the Patriot signed by the President. No onicer he sold. should be allowed to siln in his otlio- ial capacity without the authority of the executive.

The second meeting of the Execu- tive, and the first of which I was Sec- retary. was held in Charlottetown on July Sth. The attendance was very poor and tile Secretary was instruct- ed to arrange for a full attendance of the directors _on November 10th. lie was also asked to write the Institutes for suggestions regarding the Central institute that might be brought up at tilts meeting. A letter was sent to the Secretary of each lnsiitllto and quite a number of replies wore receiv- ed, which will bo laid before you solnc tinlo during this convention. The next lneetiug of tile Execlllive was held on November 18t‘ll. At this moctillg, arrallgelnents were made for tho Annual Meeting, which is now lie- ing held. Tho change in date was brought a- bout becauso several of the Institutes felt that it was held too early in the season before the Autumn work was finished, and again for the last two or th-we years. some of the exhibitors at Amherst were prevented from attend- ing on account of the date, and furth- er vary few of the local Institutes -held meetings during the summer or aut- umn months, and it was decided that it would be better to allow opportunity for holding meetings, during the sum- mer or aut.unln months, and it was de- cidod that it would bo much better to allow opportlluity for holding meet- ings before thc Central Instituto was held. We trust that all the ln- stitutes represented here will agree with filo Executive that n later date was advisable. At this Executive meeting, tho ques- tion of further co-operation was dis- cussed by the Executive, and il was decided that this question -slloulll lo- ceive considerable attention during this annual meeting. Furtllor,-Mr. J. A. Clark, Superin- tendent of the Experimental Farm was appointed as a delegate from the Ex- ecutive to wait on the Department of Railways to secure special rules- for school children. visiting tho Experi- mental Farm. This Mr. President and delegates is about the business that has been trans- acted by tbe Executive of tho Central Farmers' Institutes. The year has been one of somavun- certainty for the farmers. In the est- orn part of the Province, tho excessive rains did considerable damage, but in ttho Eastern part. the only crop which suffered was the potato crop. the oth-I ers were benefitted. The work of tho: Institutes has gone on about as usual' and each year sees more co-operative work undertaken. Last your 825,000 worth of supplies, consisting of seeds. fertilizers, feeds, wire, dtc., were purchased hy the var- ous Institutes and about $14,000 worth of lambs sold co-operatively. This year there has been very big additions, both in purchasing and selling. but the accurate figures are not yet ar- iiiili KIICHIN PHESINIIII II] il5IH INTERESTING CEREMONY Yesterday' afternoon at the Armour- ics, in presence of a large attendance of ladies and _gentlemen and school children, the School Childreu’s Field' Kitchen was presented to thc 105th Highland Regiment. ills Honour the Lieutenant-Governor made the pres- eutation.

The first appeal was made on October 7. und the first response was received on October 9, appropriately enough from Maple Leaf School. (Applause) Tho last subscription to pay for the kitch- en was received ou January Sth, 'so that it had taken only three months to raise the money. lic regretted that Miss Stanway was laid up with the grippe and was unable to be present with them.
