John Himmen, Mr. and Mrs. iert Himmen and Mrs. Annie I". Peer, of Lancaster and Sterling, Mass, ‘are guests of Mr. and Mrs. William Fretwell, Hillsboro Street. Mrs. John Himmen is a native of this province, a daughter of the late William and Mary Lund. It is forty seven years since Mrs. Hlmmen vis- lted this province and naturally she notices many improvements and changes. She was’ born at St. Pet- ar‘s Island and remembers quite well when there were only three houses on the little island. On Thursday, with a party of friends she visited the school at Rice's Point, which she attended as a. girl, the view from the window brinzihl; 1150K hBPPY memories.

A change in the pmgramme for the mid week's en- tertainment has been made and will be announced in the press Tuesday. WELL KNOWN HERE-lion. D1". Murray MacLaren, minister oi’ pen- sions and national health. and his daughter, Miss Margaret MacLai-en. escaped injury Friday afternoon when their motor car went into a. ditch a few miles from Shediac. The car did not overturn, and was un- damaged. The accident occurred when the MacLaren chauffeur was forced to swerve suddenly to avoid striking a car which turned out as the MacLaren car was about to pass. NEW ANNAN 2.23 AND 2.20 CLASSES-In view of the prospec- tive extra. large entry list in the pro- posed 2.28 Trot and Pace (mixed), it was thought advisable to split the class and supplement the purse, making a 2.23 straight trot (purse $200.00), and s. 2.28 straight pace (purse $200.00). This change ought to giveall the ‘slow (?) class trotters and pacsrs in the province a good chance. Not more than eleven starters will be accepted in each class. The first eleven paid up en- tries will qualify to start. 1848-7-17-21 POLICE COURT — At the Police Court yesterday morning, William Power, charged with being unlaw- fully at large while under sentence of imprisonment, was sentenced to six months in jail. ‘The driver of a car which had been involved in an accident at the corner of Elm Ave- nue and Gerald Street, was reman- ded. in custody till Monday. Two men, charged with having stolen goods in their possession had sen- tencs suspended. A case for breach of the sanitary by-law was adjourn- ed. i PROFITAME BOYS CAMP-A combined boy's camp under the auspices of the Maritime Council of Religious Education and the Y. M. C. A., was held at Canoe Cove last week and part of the week preced- ing, and broke up Saturday last. Between seventy-five and eighty boys were under canvas. and en- joyed a. most profitable outing. Reueation and instruction periods were combined in a well balanced programme, with Rev. E. Aitken, St. Peters, as dean. _ NUPTIAL RECEPTION-At their beautiful home in Strathgartney Friday afternoon Mr. and Mrs. W. Fitz Alan Stewart held their first post nuptial reception. The event took the form of a delightful gar- den party, attended by many friends from city and country. Mrs. Stewart, who wore an attractive hand embroidered Roumanian gown of white was assisted in receiving by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Cameron. The bride's parents, Hon. W. M. Lea and Mrs. Lea also Joined in welcom- ing tho visitors. Mrs. Keith Bos- well ushered the guests to the tea tables which were set on the lawn and from three to six there was a constant stream of callers. Mrs. Windsor, Miss Eleanor Green and Mrs. Heath Crosby poured tea, as- sisted by Mrs. John MacMan and Miss Marjorie Callback. The ladies serving were Mrs. Hibbert Howatt, Mrs. H. R. Stewart, Mrs. Barry Tait, Miss Ruth Rattenbury and Miss Edith Lea. The Strathgartney resi- dence, surrounded by five hundred acres of land, including large groves, commands a magnificent view of the surrounding country dressed in its glorious summer verdure. The weather was ideal for the reception, which was one of the most enjoy- able social affairs of the season. ~lfldfifll ~ _“ saunas-sameness- Trinlty Unifod Church ' i Yesterday was the centennial of what is known as "The Oxford Movement." This must not be con- fused with the Oxford group move- ment about which much has been heard recently and has been the subject of many talks by Rev. Mr. Brown in the Wednesday evening services. The group movement has its devotees notonly in the Angli- can Church but in all the evange- lical churches. It is deeply spiritual and aims to promote the abundant life. The Oxford movement, on the other hand was the start within the Church of England of the Anglo-Catholic movement which has been in definite repudiation of the Reformation and its principles, in Canada the movement has made iii/tie headway. Dyson Hague says the majority of the Anglican peo- ple in Canada “believe that the Church of England is Catholic, Apostolic, Reformed, Protestant and on that four-fold rock it lands and will stand." It was a. great pleasure to have with us the preacher of the day, Rev. C. W. Kierstead, Ph. D.. who was ordained in this Church 22 years ago and later held a pastor- ate at Little York and many from that charge were present at the evening service to greet their form- er Minister. There was a very good congregation in the morning when Rev. Dr. Kierstead delivered a very fine sermon from the text 1. John 5-4. “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our What is the way out? but the question should be. What is the way up? Faith is realizing the ideal. It is the ability to discover the impossible. In the evening Dr. Kierstead took as his silbjwt the challenge of youth, has text being 2. ‘Timothy 1-12. "I know whom I have be- lieved." Mr. James Calder sang in splendid voice a solo "A song of heaven and homeland." s1. Peter's Cathedral celebrated in St. Peter's Cathedral yesterday at B a. m.. the Rev.

Dr. Hunt preached a mast instructive sermon taking as his text the 3rd and 4th verses of the 126th Psalm. The preacher spoke of the change which had come over the Church of England ‘by Divine Oversight through the leaders of the Oxford Movement, who were scholars, holy men and saints. They hadtaught and stood for the/doctrines of the Dicamatlon and Atonement. The religion of the Church is not an easy one. mem- bers of the church must be in earnest, faithful in giving of aims, braver and fasting and amend their lives and draw nearer to Christ, ‘with thankfulness for the past and looking forward in faith to the future.

The price of tablostock early in the season, was very low. The re- ports from Ontario and Quebec, seemed to justify higher prices, completed. Consequently, the bank was obliged to allow the seed to go out on time drafts. Th, bank has used every means t9 make collections, nevertheless, we have not yet received sufficient money to pay our out-of-pocket expenses; and thq item which you notice in the financial statement, under foreign ledger, is made up of money due from Cubs, and which is coming in by decrees. On tho last day of June, ws received some 8000.00. One large dealer has agreed to pay $100.00 a week, and thus we are with 812,000 or $15,000 outstanding, for which our mem- bers, who supplied the seed. must wait until payment is made, for settlement. and we were loathe to urge our To clear your mind of the idea that any dealer made money out people to ship for tablestock, when ranted, based almost entirely on mediately, there was s reaction in in storage were cleaned up.

We are glad to be able to report, that your Association did not place any potatoes in storage at either of these points. We never speculate. Our potatoes held in storage, were at Halifax, and were placed there by those who did not have the ac- commodation to take care of them and who paid the storage thereon. All seed thus stored, was marketed the last part of February, along with a considerable quantity ship- ped direet from the province. Fall Shipments The A lotion shipped seed to New Jersey in the fall, and made a second sh‘ ‘ in 1‘ ‘ 0n this December shipment, the idea in the tlnds of many, was that the price would become high- er, and we found it difficult to se- cure all the potatoes we required to iui our order, and were obliged to buy some few cars from others than our members.

We meet with considerabie confidence for the future. We have laboured under most adverse conditions during the two years just passed. and we are proud that under such trying con- ditions as those we were forced to meet. we have been able to hold together, to maintain our trade uuuXlBCtIOXB in tho South, and to prove the benefits to the industry of having an organization, which is seeking, not personal gain. but the development of the industry. Benefits It is not necess y that I should enumerate the benefits which ac- crued during the fifteen years of our existence, raising of standards, opening up '01 markets, and much educational work. We have had our years of adversity, but they have been more than outweighed by the years in which ws were able to command larger markets. and in which we moved tremendous quan- tities of seed potatoes. During those years when misfortune overtook us, there was no standard by which to make comparisons of our losses. The potato market during the past year, was not easy to follow. It was impossible to sell during the RETAIL AND 58 Queen St- OOA L We represent the VICTORIA Coal Co- Ltd- for P. E. I. and the BRAS D'OR Coal Co.

Throughout the entire year, we paid for the potatoes on the basis of the current price at time of shipment. This was not the way payments were made in former years, but it has been so satisfac- tory to our people, as well as to your management, that we are loathe to again adopt the old meth- od of pooling, which occasionally resultedin disappointment. This is s. matter your Board of Directors will give careful consideration to, and in all probability, if conditions warrant, will follow the same meth‘ od this coming year. Taken altogether, the handling of the potatoes, the distribution of the fertilizer, and the spray ma- terials, were onducted without any particular anxiety, and notwith- standing the scarcity of money, our collectio on the distributions, have been better than in previous years. The distributor's ledger, shows outstanding accounts scarce- ly over half as great as’ a year ago, which means that we not only were successful in having the accounts paid 0n this years business, but made good collections on last year's accounts.

Island Seed Desired As for seed, there La a. keen de- sire on the part of the growers in Virginia to again have an oppor- Wllltl’ 0f using our potatoes. The variety used is largely Cobblers. and with the very small acreage under certification-only about 8,- 000 aores,_ we would urge our peo- ple to use the utmost care, to pro- tect the crop, not only to insure certification. but also loss against‘ Blight. which is a most dos: uctive factor, and which results in a dead i loss. We are glad to be able to tell you that we have the same strong Ofkanization ready to do business with us. that we built up years ago. Everyow 0f the dealer‘. with whom we do business in New Jersey and South. are enthusiastic that this year will again see our Island seed used in largo quantities. I talked with each of them, Those who did use our seed last year did not have one complaint to register. They were unanimous in stating that never before had they received Maine at a price which did not give us cost in Virginia. One larger grower, who formerly used annual- ly from 20,000 to 25,000 sacks of Island seed, tried hard to buy a cargo from us, but we could not cut down the difference which ex- isted, as we were able to sell in Prettier seed. This would be ac- counted tor, partly from the fact that it was freshly graded, and rc- ceived just prior to time of plant- ing. The stand was almost perfect. High Roputaifon New Jersey at much better ad- vantage, where planting is later in the season; and the Maine seed potatoes were becoming scarce. Virginia The ‘growers of Virginia are re- ceiving a good price for their po- tatoes. The majority were sold at prices running from $4.00 to $5.00 a. barrel. ‘Ibis, they said, was as good to them as $7.00 and $8.00 a few years ago, when expenses were" higher, and they were spending ‘money more freely. 'I'he crop throughout almost the entire sec- tion, was light. Motoring through the potato sec- tions of the State of New Jersey. I noted that the tops did not war- rant a heavy yield. and with the dry, hot weather which followed, there is every indication that the yield through New Jersey ‘will not be up to normal. This makes it possible to clean up the entire crop as fast as they can place them on the market. Harvesting begins in that state around the 20th of this month. The shortage of old potatoes will make a demand by markets north Th; one exception which still worries us, was the sale of the Bliss seed sent to Cuba in the fall of‘ 1932. Some twenty-five of our mem- bers were very grisvously affected‘ by this sale. When the first cargo was as- sembled. we felt it was sold at a price which would make good re-‘ turns to our members. The second cargo was assembled, and before it! was ready to sail, we were having unfavourable reports from the first steam , as tho Bliss seed could not b; disposed of. because of lack of funds on the part of the buyers. Our seed, unfortunately, was a little too late arriving on the mar- ket. Sasd of the Bliss variety should reach Cuba the last of Sep- tember, or during the very early part of October. Our second steam- er did not sail until October 31st or later. The first planting was TGIIRISTS If you are Interested in Historical Sketches and Polk-lore, got “An Island Scrap Book” by Benjamin Brsmner, at Carter's Book Store or i the Maritime Stationers, Charlotte- 1808-1-15- of New York. These will c- most of the potatoes from Long Island. which come on the market about the same time as the pots- tces in New Jersey. Summing up the situation, it means to the potato dealer in New York and other points. this; that when Maine is ready to start mar- keting her crop, which is slightly later than other years, she will have a pretty clear market. and thus any probability of s. congestion is not likely to exist. U. S. Crop Coupled with this, ws have the latest report for the United States, that the estimated yield the first of July, is 306,000,000 bushels. against 377,000,000 bushels a year ago. This is practically a l5 per- cent reduction. From the best information -wc could get, the acreage in the State of Maine, was estimated at i5 per- cent below that of last year. All these things, encourage us to believe that, even though the Prov- inces of Ontario and Quebec should It is a. pleasure to be able to report these conditions to you, and to know that our seed still holds the high reputation established 801115 Years ago. through the most rigid oversight, and which we could not have reached, without the co-operation of‘ the Federal Di- vision of Botany. It is a wonderful thing. that we are still enjoying, during these years of financial stress experienced by all govern- ments. the same careful inspection, without expense to the individual grower. We would also like to men- tion our appreciation of the inter- est taken by the Chief Inspector, Mr. Peppin. and his staff, who strive to accommodate the growers and shippers on every occasion. These factors lie it easier for your Association to put a good pro- duct on the market; and with the anticipation of good prices for the coming season, we must strive, first‘ to grow a crop that will give the right quality for grading. and when grading. to adhere to the regula- tions as laid down for certification. Prospects Good We have seldom been more en- thusiastic over the prospects of a good market. Dealers are already wiring for quotations on steamer cargoes, for later fall shipments. This leads us to one conclusion,- that they too anticipate a shortage of good seed. We feel it is not out of place hers to give a word of caution. High priced potatoes this year are likely to induce larger acreages of potatoes next year, which, may or may not be a wise procedure. From a careful study of the conditions affecting‘ farming in this province. over a number of years, we cannot but ncluds that it is in the fann- erk own interest to stress the growing of livestock, rather than any particular field crop. Balanced F. ‘action Urged There is a tremendous market for livestock and‘ livestock pro- ducts, right at our door. The price paid during the past yesr for hogs, may seem low. After all, if you analyze the prices paid for differ- ent farm products, it reveals that s farmer would make more money have a better crop of potatoes than by feedinl it t0 the h0g3 than by prevailed during the past, year, In addition to receiving the high. er price by feeding the crop, it also reduces his fertilizer bill. It is sure- 1y evident to all of us, that we are not porducing in this province either in livestock or field crops lmywhcre zicar ihc possible max- imum. Our hog production is from 40.000 to 50,000 per annum. We could produce 70,000 0r 80,000 just as easily‘. The hiariiimc Provinces do 110i DFOdIICe much over 10 percent of their meat requirements. The bal- ance is brought in from other provinces. We have been advised on good authority, that 20 oarloadl of livestock and livestock products come to the Maritime Provinces ev- ery week of the year. ‘This is an astounding revelation. Could we in the Maritimcs, take care of a larger percentage of our requirements. ii would leave a greater quantity available for export, u; Gregg; 3m. ain, whore there is fast developing, a. market for much greater quan- titles than we in Canada can guarantee to supply; and one thing necessary to maintain such a mar- ket, is a guarantee of supply. You may ask, "what has this to do with potatoes?“ We think it has a lot to do. Looking upon potatoes as a cash crop, we think of the oth- er crops as being grown to be manufactured on the farm into products of greater value. Should it happen that the price for potatoes is exceptionally low, we can then market our crop through our live- stock, to better avantage than in any other form of marketing. We, therefore, believe we are act- ing in ihe interests of our members, when we point out those circum- stancesnnd urge balanced produc- tion in all lines of farming mcsl suitable to our province. Cir-operation Stressed In conclusion, I should like to impress strongly upon you, the ne- cessity for the farmers to link themselves together in co-operativs schemes, We do not preach tho principles of co-opcration as much as we should. We have been satis- fied to go along, with the idea that co-opcration is a good thing. and yet. we do not become quite active in participating in its enlargement. This is a your for us to become boosters, and to be ready at all times to give every support within our power to ihc movemonL-to enlist those whom we think would be valuable members in, our ranks. The following quotation. from the presidential address of Dr. Banerja. Professor of Economics, Calcutta University, delivered at the Bengal Co-opcrativc Conference, is, we believe, applicable to ourselves:- "Self-help and self-reliance- thrso are the basic principles of fro-operation. God helps tllcsg who help themselves. It is through co- operation, rathcr than isolated in- dividual effort, thnt society pro- grasses. Those who are acquainted with the social sciouccs, arc aware that the one-limo ‘(as in favour of individual action, has now changed in favour of corporate action . . . The co-opcratin way is the way oi both individual and co-operative effort. Individual effort finds in co-operation, unlimited scope: co- operative effort finds in it the only means of success. Co-opera- tion offers the best channel in which diverse wrrents of thought are unified in one life-giving stream. The path oi‘ co-oporation is the path of union-social. religious and political. If Hi1 I s and Mahomcdans, and Christians. In- dians nnd Englishmen. all and sun- dry. um to be united together—- then the hope of such union lies along this path. It is my firm be- lief, that those who arc engaged in co-operativc work, arc engaged in a very noble task. If we work togeth- er beautifully. without selfishness, then we shall deserve God's bless- wrl. s §=$§§5§5£22EE 7in'.~?;.unp-¢__.. Col~ d an- ntaris field Grain n b- Alta. ff the strain lo no!
