The de- fects were chiefly had flavors, such as NOT CLEALN. FRUl'l`Y.‘ OFF FLAVOR? and RANCID. We had some complaints during 'the wsrin seaon of COARSE TEX- TURE. This wus due chietly to ink-ing over -ripe and bad flavored milk. cooking high, and in sonic cases harsh treatment giving too much acid and not maturing suf- ficiently before samng.

This report - was followed by :i .good deal of discussion which treated ofthe advantages and dis- advan-tages of grading as it was affected by Island conditions and therefore not always entirely sat- isfactory. Mr. Wilfred -Bouiter. -Secretary of Agriculture, in -reviewing the condition of the dairy industry in this Province, spoke of the effort that was being made to centraiize it, getting the products together and making direct shipments. lt had been found impossible to have direct winter shipments on account of -the -restricted quanti- ties moving. Again the run.-tier of a central storage plant had not _inet with iuiicb approval from Dr. Ruddick. However the question was one for the directors. _Another im-po-i‘tii»m_ question was that up to March of last year the federal agricullual grant had paid the salary of a. dairy instructor. This had been discontinued and the ma.u~te‘r.ance of this office inow 'developed upon the Provincial llc-` pairtment. li’ _the iniliistry was to be brought to the highest possibie| siaindard the full time services of! an inspector were necessary. ‘It. would become an obligation- on part of the salary fo'r this mail, Fortunately one half would be paid under the technical gi'ant._ The Provincial Departniont wasi prepared to pay one half of the get the Ottawa concession.

Myers, the iiexl: speak er, said »it- was indeed s pleasure to see somanydairyinem present. 8-.Yen though .Fiirmer's Week was but a week on and it might have been expected tliatmany would ro- iimln away in order to be able to come to town thou. _ `So far as daitying was concern- ed, the speaker had always looked 'bu tI1at‘Industry as the back-bona of 'P.'E, I., and he thought it would remain so for many years to coma, He doubted lf there was any bet-_` ter way to build up a farm thaiiby keeping a good dairy herd, At present the hue and cry will about so many leaving P. E. J. and in fact all rural Canada and flock- ing to the cities of this country and the United States. Despite this fact the dairy industry and its pro- ducts were on the increase, and according to those who made it their busines to know, the field crops of Canada were also increas- ing This all might be because far- ming was being carried on in a more eilicient way than ever be- fore. Dairying was a good means of tiding over tho winter season. As to the question of grading, this was a practice that was being adopted everywhere and the Island would have to fall into line. There was no reason to be afraid of it. The past year might be said to have given the Island ii back-eye so far us diiirying was concerned. According to Wr. Morrow’s report this Province was the only one that had fallen down in grade, This was not pleasant to think about but the only thing to do was to see if an improvement could not be made and a_ right step in this direction was to get a competent man to succeed Mr. Morrow, The speaker had been asked why an inspector and instructor was needed, but this was almost self- evident_ The inauguration bf a cen- tral agency had been under dis- cussion for tho last twelve months lf this movement was started it .would go a. long way to remedy many faults, The regulation of but- ter and cheese would do away with the falling down in- grade, Special railway concesslons'wou`ld give many advantages to the smal- the part of -manufacturers to pay ‘er Producers- The SDGUKBP. HDWSV- er. did not want to see factories coerced into the agency, but he had noticed, during the last year, the smooth way in which the .Pota- to Growers' Association had work- ed. A suggestion he would like to make was that at each of the thir. ly-five island factories an annual summer picnic be held; that would be another long step toward structor for P. E. i. The speaker believed that the iiisi;'uct.'>i~ and in-,‘ specter should be a man from out-I side the Province. Nobody could question this nian’s ability and high standing ini dairy work. _ | What the industry needed was] co-operative buying and seiiing._ The'que-stion this raised was could the Railway he induced to load; cars part at one. and par: at tho» other, station. The Potato (‘n~up- i~.ru.tive Association had given a good example of what could be done in this line. There was no doubt that something had to be done .to briiiug back the industry to where it should be. A lack of co- opera-tioii and interest was helping to keep down -the 'price and quality of dairy products. Mr. W- S. Lea stated that tho' standard of quality ilcpeuded on iho class of in-struction obtained. Tho greatest weakness of the in- dustry was bccauso of zi failing down in inspection. lt was no longer possible to fight iuzaliist the qucslioir of grading. As had -been suggested it should bo com- pulsory to grade the milk. Mr. J. A. Dewar thought the tone of the directors was against -getting a man from away to act as instructor. island -mon when bad' liorui engaged in tho industry for many years should hnvu the first opportunity of filling the position. The butler :ind clieosc inakers could couie togtvilicr and -suggest one from among their -izfuiiiber for the job. llut by all nicaiio he should bc an island man. Holi J. ll- Myers. Minister of Agricui-ture. said that the question had been gone into with l)r. lind- diek and the way was now open. to secure the services of Mr. Barr. lie thouizlil. it would be a mistake if -the opportunity to secure liiin was not seized. Mr George P. 'l`rainor said he was opposed to the idea for tho reason that it was not an instruct-- or that was wanted. The trouble was that the knowledge already possessed was not put into prac- tice. l\ir,.John Profitt 'stated that a radical change was needed nc- cording to Mfr. .\lorrow's report_ An inspector was wanted and one of the best that could he got, regard- less of cost. lf there was any is- lander was a more outstanding fig- ure in the dairy industry than Mr. Barr, who had a reputation thai was world-wide, he was the logical man for the job. Mr. M. T. Lamb seconded the tilllf 8 C0mD0l.€Ill. lllllll WHS the Mr. J. W. Jones thought the in- dustry wns getting better every year and that in choosing the right msn for the vacant position salary should be no objection. Mr, Barr was the most competent mnn in sight. Mr. .l. A. Dewar said he could see no need for an outside man. Evening Gestion The first business token up at the evening meeting was the Ap- pointment of the board of dimet- goes -to show No- 1 cheese can be ,‘ors, which resulted so follovlp: ._ better dairy protluctiori. ln regard to thc Disease Free Area proposal the speaker thought that this should include nothing less than the whole Province. ‘lt would then mean a tremendous ihilli-Z for the Island. There were hopes tliiit the matter would soon be taken up and at any rate assur- ance had been gained that tho fed- r-ral minister would give the ques- tion full consideration, .\lr, Walter-Lea said that after twenty or thirty years of co-opp,-. ntivo work the dairy industry had not made the progress that should be 0XDected. The production per factory patron and per capita had not increased to any appreciable extent. - _ He had been told that low pro- ducing cows could not be kept at ii profit and his own opinioirwas that it was because of this fact that many people had no faith in dairying. Ho had been asked often if it paid to koop dairy herds gn winter and his answer was that if it was llono right it ,paid and paid well. This year had not been a banner one but diiirymen had got un average gross price of $1.50 por hundred pounds of milk. _Mix Leu followed with some ad- vice as to the best methods of dair- Ying, and niivornted the keeping of only the best breeds. He held out liopc thaut tliwdiseaso free ar. cn might, for the Island, very soon become a fact. Superstitious be- liefs were ull that prevented some farmers from getting on, l\ir._ Waiter Jones moved that the meeting go on record as favoring the establishing of a disease free area on the island. This was sec- nnded by Mr. w_ -i., Johnson. Discussion followed on the as- sessing for the Ass'n expenses begun by Mr, Dennis, M,L.A_ Mr; Jones asked that the directors al- ong with Mr. Alfred Dewar and Mr. Wilfred Boulter, take -up this question and revise the bye-law in this respect, A resolution that it be requested that grading be done in tho- fac- tories and not at the car-doors as heretofore, was moved by Mr_ An- derson, seconded by Mr, Jones and adopted - A discussion on grading and the value of cooperation was taken part in by Messrs Roy McLean, W.
