Premier Jones is to be congratulated on his initiative in acquiring from the Crown Assets Disposal Corporation, at less than one-half the original cost, new steel spans sufficient to rebuild the Hillsboro Bridge and the North River Bridge as well. These projects are part of the Trans- Canada Highway scheme and as such Wl'.i be partly financed by the Dominion Gov- ernment. The Province, however, will still have a big problem in financing its share of the cost, and any saving in the expense of material-especially such costly material as steel spans-will be of major import- ance. In this case-in a deal involving some 3,600 tons of steelwork-the saving estimated by the Premier will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. With defense work now being under- taken on a huge scale throughout the country, this purchase may mean all the difference between being able to rebuild the I-Iillsboro Bridge within the next few years, or of having the project hung up indefinitely. It is essential, of course. that the new spans can be utilized here to ad- vantage. Presumably the Premier has ob- tained expert advice on this point, and is satisfied that there will be no insuperable difficulty. In making this decision he as- sumes a very big responsibility, as no doubt he will be reminded when the Legislature meets next week. The Opposition will of course expect to be informed of all the de- tails, and the Province at large will await this information with great interest. The transaction will provide I lively topic for discussion, with a refreshing oriental fla- vour from its association with General Chiang Kai Shek, for whom the new spans were originally constructed. Farm Loans The Government's decision to have Par- liament extend the Farm Improvement Loans Act for another three years is de- cidedly welcome. The total to which the Government will guarantee repayment to banks is being increased. , More and more credit is becoming cen- tralized. It is a much easier to arrange the financing of a multi-million dollar project today than one involving a few thousand dollars or less. Under the Act bank loans can be made to farmers on livestock, implements, land and other security. The provision for per- mitting land to be used as collateral is it- self valuable in improving the farmer's cre- dit position, quite apart from the Govern- ment guarantee. Farming is a new business, quite un- like what went by that name even I few years ago. It requires a heavy investment of capital and the young farmer, in par- ticular, is rarely in the happy position of having accumulated enough to operate on his own resources. Iir. croteau's Experiences Prince Edward Island's achievement in co-operative enterprise is told most inter- estingly in a book which has just been pub- lished by the Rycrson Press, Toronto. The author, John T. Croteau, Ph.D., is now as- sociate professor of economics at the Cath- olic University of America but is better known here for his work in promoting Island credit unions and co-operatives. Dr. Croteau came here in 1933 to oc- cupy the chalr of economics and sociology, endowed by the Carnegie Corporation, and for the next thirteen years he taught at Prince of Wales College and St. Dunstan's University. He began to take an interest in adult education and from organized study groups was led on to assisting in the building up of credit unions and the Credit Union League. Co-operatives almost forced their existence upon him and between 1936 and 1945'he had helped to organize: the Adult Education League, the-P. E. 1. Credit Union League, the Co-operative Council of P. E. I. (which quickly folded), the P. E. l. Federation of Agriculture, the Cooperative Central Co-oparhtlvo Association, Ltd, as well Is the numerous member credit un- ions Ind cooperatives and study groups, finally seeing his painfully nurtumd om!!!- luitioha join in national Ind international Lia ion, for without -iaenuarw ” I" I I the assumption by the government of new responsibilities for the common welfare. The Island telescoped the social evolution of fifty years into little more than I dec- ade." He notes that when he arrived here in 1933 there were only two or three miles of paved road outside of the main towns. Then suddenly, almost violently, in the course of a few years the winding, hilly, slippery clay roads disappeared and the country was cut by straightened, widened and paved highways. With the paved high- ways came a new way of life. Trucks ap- peared in large numbers. The trading area was widened from a circle of from five to seven miles in radius to one of twenty or twenty-five miles. The competition of the bus and car brought improvements in the railroad. Today air-conditioned coaches are drawn by diesel engines, while for long trips there are regular airplane connections. These changes are an important-part of Dr. Croteauls story, for they involved fund- amental social changes as well. One does not require to be a convinced co-operator to read with interest his experiences with Island roads, educators, farmers, fisher- men, politicians and clergymen during this period. His observation of human behaviour is keen, and while only one aspect is view- ed, whether of the automobile or the Legis- lature, that aspect is reproduced with photographic accuracy. His book, which is entitled ”Cradled On The Waves" and is priced at S325, will un- doubtedly rank high in the study of world co-operatives, and mainland readers will en- joy learning as much about the Garden of the Gulf, and the authors impressions of its people, as about Rochdale principles. Among other things they will be reminded that the first fishermcnls union in Canada was formed at Tignish in 1924, and that the Farmers Bank of Rustico, established in 1862, was probably the first "people's bank" in North America and served as an example to Alphonse Dcsjardins in form- ing his first Caisse Populaire in the Prov- ince of Quebec. I: oTnUiET.S1T6T :3 The liveliest subject among our farmers at present is potato marketing, which doubtless will be fully aired at today's annual meetings of the Potato Growers Association. " - On the principle that there are no bad boys but only bad parents, Summerside citizens should give anxious thought to possible shortcomings in teaching the young idea. 0 King's County seems too often to be left a bit behind in whatever advances are being made in the other counties. It is most satisfactory, therefore, to note that in the value of fish landed in 1950, King's has led the .three counties. ' The Provincial Red Cross campaign gets under way today. Like the proverbial good wine which needs no bush, it needs no bolstering by argument but only the whole-hearted effort of volunteer workers to put it across. It is reassuring to note from the reports submitted at yesterday's annual meeting of the Dairymen's Association that while pro- duction figures showed a decline last year, quality was well maintained. This is the one sure way of retaining the consumer market. Perhaps the Island need not be ashamed of its rural electrification efforts after all. Oil-rich Alberta is accused of only nibbling at the problem so that with only agriculture and fisheries to provide the wherewithal we are probably advancing at a creditable rate. The report that more than ten per cent of the rapidly enlisted Special Service Force have been discharged is not a serious crit- icism of the whirlwind campaign by which it was raised. It is, however, I very strong argument indeed for a policy of continuous enlistment which would make I repetition of that emergency campaign unnecessary.

QOOD NEWS 001' OF SASKATCHEWAN . o ' Sir, - Saskatchownn is I prov- ince within the Federation called Canada and we should rejoice at any goo" news coming from that part of our country. For I terrible seven years, from 1932 to 30. drought hit western Canada with one devastating blow after another. I well remember going about I part. of New Brunswick asking for bags of potatoes, turnips and clothing for the dried-out areas of Western Canada. and how generously and gladly the people gave. It was I joy to ask people. Now Sukatchewnu has come into an era of prosper- ity. Their great resource is the land. and they are always reclaiming thousands of acres of new land. They have also their forests. fian- belong to the people. The Government has Ioclallzad the bus lines. light and power plants, life and car insurance. health services. They are building new hospitals in outlying and needy districts in that wide land. Disease control, T.B. and cancer are getting more money and new attention. In 1950 815,000,000 was spent on health services, In in- crease of (H5 per cent. over what it was six Ybars ago. My letters from friends who live in Saskatchewan are enthusiastic about what the Government is do- ing fair the people there, the care and education of the children and providing security for the aged and the sick. They say also that the taxes have not appreciably in- creased. Of course. we cannot compare Saskatchewan with P.E. Island. for they have their natural resour- ces which we haven't got. We did think we might strike oil. but in Saskatchewan they have struck it rich. The point. is that all those natural resources belong to the people. and are developed in their interest. and this gives them I new and personal regard for their pror- ince. It will be argued that those people are not rugged Canadians. but Biloon-fed people; but in sick- ness and old age and -when child- rcn have to be educated, it is grat- ifying to feel some sense of security. I am. Sir, etc., W. I. GREEN. Stanley Bridge. , FARM!-IIlS' PROBLEMS Sir.-As .1, rcad' the weekly market reports given by Mr. W. R. Shaw. which I great many farm- ers follow, I find them incomplete without a remedy to solve the problems which the practical farmer is confronted with daily. One is. why I am growing 3 cu. lam kind of potato which I thought W35 100?. On my farm, and yet that variety is classed as "pig feed" when shipped to market. Also why fa-rm produce at the different stations varies in price per bag from two to three cents. leading the farmer to believe that in some cases he is not getting the market price for his product. There must. be a remedy to over- come this problem, or an explan- ation as to why it cannot be solved. We have heard recently Ibout I variety of potato known as Sebago. which according to I press report was classed as pig feed wuhevn shipped to market. To my mind this potato is a good one, I heavy yielder, and very much Id- Iipted to heavy soils. bpt it taken I long time to grow to maturity and must be planted no later than the first week in June. By the middle of October they could be harvested and will be I pretty fair potato to place on any market. On the other hand, if they are not planted till late in June they do not prove satisfactory and Ire eas- ily, blemished in digging. Ind therefore very often break down in storage rot. When I was in Quebec last fall I was shown I bag of potatoes of this variety put. up by I reliable firm with tho words "From P. E. Island" stamped on the bags. The grade was good but to my surprise t.he' quality looked bad. as they showed that they Ind been injured I great dcl.l in digging operations. To make matters worse they were concealed in paper bags which were closed so tightly that there was no ventilation, Ind no mois- ture could escape. cousin-g them to show decay and mould, particu- larly in the injured parts. This indicates that than potatoes were planted late Ind were not matured II time of digging. This is one remedy that I have used, to overcome storage rot in SevbIgoes. I found tint it improv- ed the eating quality so much that I would prefer to grow this potato -to my other varieties which we hove ever planted. We farmers who read our daily newspapers know that; during the put. xenon I lot of publicity has been given to the Federation of Agriculture. to the turnip mIuot. This was first discovered. Is for I! I know. during the Ieuon of ma wh hundred: of bushels of turnips were bought. by firms from Ontario and shipped ll their pro- duct into U. S. markets. They hot!

About price quotations. many farmers cannot understand why the prices should vary, even some- times, It the same shipping points. This difference is caused nearly always by competition of loaders. Some own trucks and the others have to hire them. If I man owned I truck he could load all he wish- ed pay the fanmer all he got for his potatoes or turnips from the dealer, without any commis- sion. This is unfair competition, and puzzles the farmer very much, who he has not got as much for his. product as his neighbor. This could not happen w-hivle roads are closed, for most of the hauling is then done by the farmer! them- 561Ve8. and the loader would not get any money except his com- mission, and I don't see why any person would work for nothing. There should be an agreement among shippers so that when I man is caught; paying under or over the market price for produce of any kind he would get his walk- ing tlokct. lm-medinteiy.

I wonder if they would prod-uca their invoices of what they receiv- ed for potatoes and what they paid the farmer to correspond with it. If we farmers don't stand solidly together and insist on our Marketing Board remaining, we mly as well fold up. Let the deal- ers get out and follow the tumu- I few 16-hour days and they will be convinced we have something to fight about. I up. six, etc., K.'l';NiKOR.A F POTATO MARKETING Sir. - Our potato marketing problems have been causing I good deal of controversy through your columns, and some good points have been brought. out. on both sides of the argument. Being a dealer I suppose I am naturally somewhat biased in my opinions, but there are certain angle; to this controversy which the ma- would remove the price trouble which so many of our former: complain of. In conclusion I would say to our hardworking Ianmers: When any white collared farmer approaches you to make you believe that he is going to make you rich, after you have already proved that you have made I success of farming, tell him to take his coat. off and go to- work; and if he does that. than -he can be classed as I farmer and can learn a lot. from some of the experienced ones. I am, Sir. etc., J. LEO PRAUGI-IT Cherry VII-ley, P. E. I. DEALERS CBITICISED Sir.-It. is amusing to read the different letters in your paper about the potato question, espec- ially the dealers having the farm- ex-s' interests so much at heart. I wonder what brought Lhis about so suddenly. I Im sure all anyone has to do is stop and look It the swell homes. luxurious ears and fat bank accounts the dealers en- joy to know to what extent they are concerned Ibout the poor farmer. Why not come out like men and say the reason is really that they are afraid they are go- lng to lose the fat picking: they have enjoyed those past years. Now they are afraid the farmer is going to organize and be in I pos- ition to demand and get. what is rightfully ours. Everyone else is protected by unions. etc., of their own except the farmers. When we were get- ting 6 cents I bushel for our potatoes I delegltion went to ob- tawa and were told. "We dare not interfere with the price of pota- toes; supply and dmnand govern the price and we can't inter- fere." The farmer .took his I' ' ' but during the last; war. when potatoes were going to go away up Ind we farmers were going to get back some of what we lost during those ti-cent years, the Govern- ment stopped in over-night and put I ceiling on.

I.) HOTIIIIS TIIAT IIIAII Jority of farmers fail to take into consideration and which I feel. in tau-ness to all. should be brought out into bhe light. It is well recognized by all that the producer has not been receiv- ing I fair return for his potato crop the past few years, but make no mistake, it has been no fault of the dealers. In fact. it. has been causing them considerable uneasi- ness. Every dealer knows full well that the producer is the foundation of his business. and if he is going to stay in business he must utilize every lelsona” means of keeping the grower in business. That is the reason he -has made it so easy for t-he farmer to buy his fertilizer. spray mate- rials, and other supplies ncccsaxy to the production of MI potato drop, on practically his own terms. The farmer. on the other band, should recognize the fact that the dealer is a necessary link in the chain of distribution of his farm products. and that everyone who renders I service is entitled to I fair reward for that service. This is the pivot point of the whole controversy; the considers the dealer is bleeding him white, while the dealer thinks t.ho farm- er is trying to freeze him out - cxactly the same situation we find existing between management and labor (and I have heard some farmers giving the labor unions I good sound cussing, especially during the rail strike). These differences of opinion have become greatly magnified in the minds of both dealers and growers to the point where I have bad fIrmei-I point out certain ap- parently prosperous dealers, most- ly large exporters, and openly Ic- cuse them of lining their pockets with fBfmEll'.I' money through un- ethical business pi-Ictlcea.
