“THE GARDEN OF THE GULF”
In 1764 the Island was surveyed by Captain Samuel Holland, who
received the King's Commission "to survey His Majesty's possessions in
America as far west as the Mississippi, and as far south as the Potomac
river_" The work commenced in 1764. , '
At this time the Earl of Egmont submitted to the Home Govern-
ment a proposal which. if adopted, would have meant the establishment
of Felldali-sm in the new Colony. There appeared other claimants to
the division of the land, and these claims were so persistently pressed
that the Board of Trade and plantations in Iendon decided that the
-whole nude, with oei-tain' spooinod ros3"rv3`tlli`i'i`s. should so ollottod by
ballot. On the 23rd of July, 1787, the ballots were drawn, and thus be-
gan a condition of absentee landlordism which created a land question-
for more than one hundred years the cause of much difficulty in the
affairs of the country. By the terms of the Land Purchase Act of 1875,
the tenants eventually became freeholders. and it is of interest to note
that Mr. Gladstone used the Prince Edward Island Statute as a guide
in drafting legislation dealing with the Irish land question.
Responsible Govemmeni
The struggle for Responsible Government ended in 1851. and
twenty-two years later the Island entered Confederation. On April 15th,

have the effect of still further strengthening those
imperisliablc ties of loyalty and affection which'
bind us to the far-filing British Empire. 
All deeply regret that the stay of these em-i

(By Hon. W. M. Lc‘a_, Miniilcr of /Igricllllllra)
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND offers unsurpassed possibilities to the
agrlculturalist, particularly the mixed farmer. The cost of facilities
and public services to the individual taxpayer is less than in any other
part of the continent, and its free and eiiicient educational system, its
excellent transportation facilities and manufacturies for the transforma-
tion of raw agricultural products into finished commodities, are added
inducements to prospective settlers. `
The Province has developed the spirit of agricultural co-operation
to a greater extent than'any province of Canada, and in this respect it
may be classed with its greatest competitor, Denmark. It was the first
province to take up co-operative grading and selling of poultry and eggs, ,
and one of the first to embark upon co-operative dairying and the grad-
ing and selling of wool products.
Shipping clubs are numerous throughout the Province for the sale
of live animals, and a complete organization is in existence for the pro-
motion of live stock husbandry. There is also an organization for the
community breeding of live stock, so that those who desire may secure
the services of pure-bred breeding animals at little cost.
On account of our cool, moist climate the Island is particularly
sdspiod to tho brooding or livo stool: and poultry( Young animals inure
