' ` " \ I as one of the principal advantages. In most of the.

, ` "‘ `,» it has vastly imiproved the agricultural status of the -
 D0 You [1 Island. _‘An eminent authority, Sir J. W., Dawson,
F.R.S.C.M.G., Principal and Vice-Chancellor of
   McGill University, Montreal, sa.ys:_-‘T_he_ great
wealth of Prince Edward Island consists in its fer-
tile soil, and the preservation of this in a productive
state is an object of imperative importance. The
ordinary soil of t`he Island is a bright, red loam, pass-
ing into stiff clay on the one hand, and sandy loam
on the other. Naturally it contains all the mineral
requisites for cultivated crops, while its abounding
in peroxide of iron 'enables itrapidly to digest organic
manures, and also to retain well their ammoniacali
products. The chief natural manures afforded by
the Island, and which may be used ‘in addition to the
farm manures to increase the fertility of the soil, or
restore it .when exhausted, are-(1) Musselnvud, or
oyster shell mud of the bays. Experience has proved
this to be of the greatest value. (2) Peat and marsh
mfud and swlamp soil; These affords organic matters
to the run-out soil, at a very cheap ralte. (3) Sea~
weed, which can be obtained in large quantities on
many parts of the shores, and is of great manural
value, whether fresh or eogiiposted- (4).FiSh Offal-

some %ortioi;1s of old England. The people, too; are i -
more ng is in appearance than those of any otiher ,,
of the provinces with the exception of New Bruns- “  Island
wick. This is probably owing to a cooler climate,
and the contiguity of the sea._ Prince Edward
Island is covered with a so'i'l that is easy to cultivate,'
sound and healthy, capable of giving excellent crops
df roots, grain and grass, an honest soil that will not J I l  I ' _  S
fail to respond to the skill of the hu'sban‘d`inan. The
Island grows very good wheat, and probably better
oats than most other pai‘ts of the Dominion. fOf the ' ‘
former the crops are from 18 to 30 bushels, and the
latter 25 to 70 bushels pei' acre. Barley, too, makes "
_ a very nice- crop. Wheat, at the time of-my visit,
` ' was worth 4s. per bushel of 60 lbs., oats 1s.~9d. per
a  , bushel uf 34 ies., and buriey 25. od. eu ss. per bushel
of 48 lbs. The Island is noted for its large crops of
excellent potatoes, which not uncommonly foot up
to 250 bushels an acre of fine handsome tu‘bers.
Swedes make a fine crop, not uncominonl_v reaching'
 _ i _ I 750 bushels per acre of sound and solid bulbs.’
