The passing of Mr. John Redpath Dougall of the Montreal Witness removes an almost unique figure from Canada's Journalism.

His was a splendid example oi’ consistency, persistency, and stability, but if, was bad journalism, for if there is one thing the average newspaper reader ldcfcsts it is a propagandist organ eternally thrusting its nostrums and platitudes under his eye. A little propaganda goes a long way in a newspaper, which was something Mr. Dougall never realised, hence the collapse of his daily paper, and its relegation to the weekly field.

POTATO GINFVVBES Shy-Having read with interest the various letters in your paper pro and con the Potato Growers’ Association, I, as a former member, would like to give my opinion. I think that it would be to the interests of the farmer and of the province as a whole to have an investigation into the matter to flnd where the fault is, if any. If the Association is in the right, an in- vestlgution would be an especial benefit to them, as then the mem- bers would have some confidence in their organization. Otherwise there has been so much cold water thrown on the mutter that suspic- ions are being aroused, all of which is having a very detrimental eflect on the Asoclatlon and which may mean its downfall. We all know this would be a great loss to the Province. An Association of any kind should be working to the advantage of each individual con- cerned, and if this is proven to be true, why should there be any dissatisfaction ‘I I am Sir, etc. lVM. M. STAVERT. Bedeque, Sept. 18. THE ISLAND POTATO S IT UATION Slr,--'I‘he report in this morning's "Guardian" of the meeting in Woodstock, N. B., of New Bruns- wick potato growers and shippers has, I am sure, been found of universal interest in this Province. Furthermore, our friends on the mainland have set us an example that it ‘might be well to follow. It is of special interest to note that Premier Tlllcy was presBnt at the meeting and expressed a willing- ness, on behalf of his Government. to render assistance of a practical nature. The reaching out for new markets, such as that of Egypt, is certainly an excellent move. The idea, also, of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island coming to- gether for marketing purposes, possibly under the Dominion Mar- keting Board, would seem to be worthy of further consideration. Possibly, too, our New Brunswick friends could obtain some valuable information from this Province regarding the conversion of pota- toes into starch, I have always understood that the production of starch from potatoes in Canada is profitable only when the raw pro- duct is marketed at a vcry low figure, because of the competition of water-home corn from South Africa, the cost of the starch con- tent of which, I have been led to believe, is very 10w indeed. There is, however, another way in which potatoes can be processed, and in which apparently a full value not only of the starch but of’ all the contents of the potato is obtained. viz: by desiocatlng and flaking the potatoes for food pur- poses, principally for hogs but also for calves and cattle generally. ‘In Germany, potato flakes are being used quite largely in the making of soup for human consumption. I have not the latest figures at hand. but I do know that in Germany the flaking industry grew from 3 plants in 1900 to 762 in 1918. 'l'hrz following extract from a report on this question by a Germany econo- mist will, I am sure, be found nf interest by your readers: "With flakes we are in a posi- tion to increase our stock of pigs, which is at present such a lucra- tive branch of agriculture. and to make this more remuneratlve. Pigs are ‘nose animals’, i,e., smell is their principal some, and In addition, like dogs, they | do not chew their feed for a long time. Bearing‘ these two points in mind, it is interesting ‘to watch pigs when they are eating. It will be seen that alter having smelled at steamed or un- sound potatoes they will not eat them, but throw them out cf the trough. On the other hand. porridge made of potato flakes. which has a good smell, is eagerly eaten. "My own experiments have proved that feeding flakes means s considerable saving in the amount of potatoes. This snvinq is so large that at first I thought I had made a mistake in the calculation. I could give figures. but"! will not do so, because these might give rise to much com- ment nnd-my statements might be considered as not being correct. "June, July and August are very unprofitable months here for the runners. as during these months they have no income. But flakes which remain in good condition for years enable, them tosccurelgoodincomeby pig raising. On light soils good oats particularly law. v KFY/‘F-‘i’ 5 i».

Potato flakes work dietetlcally. Many farmers will be aware of the fact that flakes are an excellent feedstuff for cows and sheep, but on the other hand very fcw know that they are also a very good feed for calves. The demand for potato flakes, also, for human consump- tlon, increases steadily because their taste is good and they are easy to digest. In many places ln Berlin they are not mentioned on the menus as ‘Potato Soup’ but exclusively as ‘Potato Flake Soup’, thus eluphnsizi lg the fact that the latter has a greater value." From such enquiries as I have made, I believe that the machinery can be obtained at a moderate cost, and that it can be kept work- ing all through the winter, night and day. if necessary. To my mind, one of the most important features of the flaking industry is that the flakes can be kept, as stated above, “for an ‘indefinite period of time ". thus placing potatoes on a par with wheat in keeping qualities and free- ing their owners from the need for precipitate selling because of the danger of freezing and sprouting. Furthermore, as there appears to be an excellent market for bacon and hams in England, the feeding of potatoes, in what the German economist regards as the moot efficient manner, to the pigs of the Island would seem to be a profit- able solution of the present diffi- culty in marketing this year's crop of potatoes. ‘this is a case in which time is an important element, for we seem to need a policy regarding the dispos- al of lhe maturing potato crop quite as much as the actual de- mand for our potatoes.
