Th matter has been taken up at Ottawa, but the reply has been that other provinces pro- vicle their own officials for this service. Mr. Shaw commended the work done in plant pathology by Mr. Hurst and his assistants at the Ex- perlmerltal Farm. He regretted that this work has been seriously cur- l tailed as a. result of the war. “more was nothing, after all, that would °f be more likely to solve our soil prob- lems than return to the use of Hlamyard manure. Mr. Murdock McLeod, Long Riv- er, suggested the possibility of working in with Nova Scotia. and getting our soil samples tested thc;'e'. He was "dead against" the 3PM fitment of any more officials. Mr. J. Walter Jones, M.L.A., cit- ed successful old-time methods of farm fertilization, which involved the generous use of marsh mud mussel mud and seaweed. Fiertilimr companies have now made us "chemically minded." and so we wony about soil analysis. He a- greed with Mr. Maclteod that we "didn't want any more professors sitting in offices, testing samples." ’I‘hc old system of getting mussel mud seems to be foo laborious for the present generation. Perhaps we could get the use of government- dredges in the winter time, when U18)’ are not busy. to pump mud from oyster beds. This mud would provide immense quantities of ferti- lizer “which apparently we are too lazy to get in any other way." He cited the advice given by the late Premier bee. with regard to the importance of mixed farming organizations can and will do. we as individual farmers must take, time to chart our course and do more and better planning than wel have evcr done before.

W. H, Dennis. Minister of Agriculiurc, welcomed the delcgatcs on behalf of the De- partment and the Govcrnmcilt. Re- ferring t0 a resolution passed _at the last annual meeting regarding soil analyses, he said the Dcpflfl- ment had been trying for a 1on8 time to obtain a full-lime official to handle this prnblcili. 'I"licre was no assurance oi obtriiiiina this scr- vicc at present. It would in any case require expenditure for a labora- tory.

His remarks on this subject are re- ported elsewhere in today's Guard- ian. Mr. Lincoln Dewar. New Perth. said Island farmers wcvc peculiarly situated with regard to poato growing. Our soil is well suited to this production, but there is no doubt that extensive growing of po- i-atoes has been detrimental to the ~.oil, and the industry has become a speculative proposition. It is eas- ier to produce a cash crop than one which has to be processed through live stock, and this has fended to surplus potato production. Potatoes, however. are a valuable feed. es- pecially for hogs, and the surplus stock, mixed with fish meal, can be profitably utilized. He cited oth- cr benefits of using the potato crop at home. legitimate farmers.

Wood-Lot Cultivation An interesting address was given 3 r. H. D. Long, provincial for- ester, on the proper method of growing woodlots in Prince Edward Island. He ivarned particularly a- Zamst the extravagance of clear- cuitlng. The Farmers Institute, he suggested, could achieve good re- suits by cc-operatlve marketing of wood products. It could also help in circularlzing individual farmers along educational and marketing lines. Answering a number of questions. Mr. Long explained what was being done in providing demonstrational . ivoocllots, consisting of one-acre ' plots in various sections of the Pro- i vince. They averaged about 10 cords per acre, about five cords of which were fit for pitprops. Our present woodlands. if pro rly thinned out, would double the output in ten years. he said. Deputy Minister Show commend- ccl Mr. Long's efforts ta promoting forestry. He cited the possibilities of Wellington swamp, near Mis- couche. which could be devoted per- manently togrowing valuable crops of cedar. After further discussion on this subject, and complimentary re- marks from the chairman on the value of Mr. Long's suggestions, the meeting adjourned. Evenlnx Session Mr, W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, was the first peak- er of the evening session. "Importa- tion of Feeds" was the topic of his address. which was listened to with much attention. The speaker ex- plained in his opening remarks the negotiations that have taken place with the Federal Government in connection with the importation of western feed in this province. to supply the growing hon pvpulation with the neces arv feed. A conference was held at Mono- fon in Ianuary, the spear-w said. and was attended by the three Maritime Ministers of Agriculture, who conferred with Mr. Rand Ma- theson, manager of the Maritime Irarisportation Commission. and Mr. McEwen. manager of the Live- stock Marketing Board. Freight rates and cost of transportation had been gone into. the speaker declar- cd. adding that in their findings the Maritime Provinces were producing at a loss of 81.80 per 200 lb, hog. l Other province showed gains, rfanizing from 11.82 in Alberta 25 cents in Quebec. Figures were arranged to show the Government that we were working at a disadvantage between extren e east and extreme west with the loss becoming more pronounced later in the season. Working on the same basis. the s aker stated that the loss the la ter part of November would amount to 83.65 per hog in- stead of . 0. A brief was drawn up re the dis- abilftie‘ of the Maritime Provinces. the speaker went on. and the case was presented at Ottawa. Promlne grain men of the western provinces were sympathetic and eager to get grain down to the Maritimes at a, lower cost. The Dominion Govern- ment. however. in view oi war con-i ditlons, felt it would be inadvisable, to grant the request and it was use- less to approach ihe Board of Rollq way Commissioners. As the situation became more acute. representation was made on the basis of supplying ten miilicns bushels of western wheat io the five eastern provinces. with the Island's quota being placed at 80.000. The wheat was to be purchased at 50 cents per bushel with the Domini n Government as umlna ope-half freight rafc at the head of the lakes. If this were done it would bring the price of grain down Ian"- ed in the Maritlmes to around $26.00 a ton. ‘rile three Maritime "ro- vinces again conferred with Federal members. and were again suwmcprd to Ottawa.
