' His Honour contributed a cup for the whole Island, the trophy being won by the school in Hampshire, formerly a very poor school. A new (school was built after mvch opposi- ‘ii-ion. and the shool went on im- piovlng and finally won the cup. Recently Mr. Shaw stated that lie said at the ‘Rod Cross meeting that {he visited fifty schools. and that [from his observations he thought iii-lat the schools had improved more ‘in the last ten years than they had in the time preceding since the en- aotment of the school act.

It was through the Min-j (bier of Agriculture that the schema‘ cars infiieorgetown. Shipping pro- duce tn such quantities is a tremend- ous proposition. ‘There should be better facilities for storing possessed by individuals, as it shown by the fact that the amount of potatoes on irimd was oontinuallyincreasing de- spite the fact that. three steamers irr/‘e loading at once. If the potatoes in New York were still on hand. (he situation would not be as favourable as it is at present. Protected cars are not as well in- suiated as they might be. It seems to be all right for all psi-tics con- cerned to place the potatoes iii stor- age. One of the‘ difficulties met by the Association ' is the contention that all members of the organization are not treated similary, but thee are often circumstances over which the body has no control. In the load- ing of the last steamers potatoes have come in in cars on cold days. Pot- atoes ofien arrive at their destina- tion frozen. when the fault is found to lic with the shipper there is noth- ing to do but pny the shipper table stock prices. Such a coiidiiion oc- curred frequently in December. A few [frozen sack,- may easily condemn a whole car. These potatoes cannot then be regarded except as table stock. When the potatoes are report- cd by the inspeoiors as frozen before being placed in the cars the railway cannot be licld responsible. Of the two steamers which load- cd at Christmas one was sent to Carolina and the other lo Cuba, boili xirrlvii-ig in perfect condition. The question of what (o do with ipoiatoes at the present time i._s a difficult one to answer. The demand for seed will come only from Oun- 1tlc and New York, as southern grow crs bought their} seed last fall. _ Florida has 32,000 acres planted this year, (he largest ever planted there. Conditions in the southen states should show how many ac- Ii-es it, would be wise to plant here next mason.
