He predicts that the island liiiii'llllBl in this product is a iTlllllf'llI dollar industry. six years ago the Central F;i!'llN'rS Co-op began process- 'll..' blueberries on the island and tho industry has grown to the iiiiiiii. where they now employ 5 people for several months of the year. "There is still plenty oi mom for expansion." Mr. Mac- i.v:in said. 'i".'lie Co-op manager stated that lsl.tIlIl producers are harvesting iiiil) about twenty per cent of the berries in demand. He em- plluaiI.l'd the fact that all the berries grown on the island have a rcmly ”taiior made” market right here. QUITE PA.VItiUS island blui-berries. hir. lilac- Lcan said are lieconiing quite famous for the high quality of the product. From the time of harvesting they are actually processed twice-once in the field where 95 per cent of the leaves and other foreign matter are removed and again at the plant where they are re-cleaned and made 100 per cent pure. "The potential return for those interested in blueberry grow- ing on the island is tremendous." said Mr. Niacisean.

It is doubtful if any firm processing frozen foods could reach this existing volume in several years." Asked whether the advent of another firm in the frozen food industry would effect his busi- ness. Mr. MacLean replied. "We would welcome anything that would help promote new markets for P.E.i. markets and we shall be happy to supply any firm with the small fruits that they will require." STORAGE FACILITIES During the height of the blue berry season it was found nec- essary to store the fruit at Char- lottetown. Summerslde and Sou- ria and much of the crop has been shipped to Moncton and Saint John for storage. "There is a definite lack of freezing facilities in the Mari- times but there is plenty of stor- age room." said Mr. MacLean who pointed out the handicap this presents in quick freezing the whole crop at one time. He saidhis firm are now plan- ning to ship berries to Upper Canada for processing. He spoke of this move with regret because he realized that it would mean tiiui the cleaning now being done would no longer take For those interested in the blueberry industry it was learn- ed that a Summerslde man.

I nnzcamlyua The Maple Leaf 4-H Calf Club of Siimmerville. held its second annual achievement day yester- day afternoon at the fann of Mr. Hamid Dunn. A greatly in- creased number of animals were on display over last year. On behalf of the club. Rev. John Cash, club leader welcom- ed the large crowd which includ- ed Miss Audrey MacMillan. Queens County Agricultural Re- presentative who Judged the ni- mala. and Mr. Davod MacLe . Agricultural Representative for Kings. Father Cash also thanked everyone for the enthusiasm shown and hoped that next year would bring an even better show He went on to say that each club member must work even harder and that "the results will show as they do here today." Mr. Dave MacLean. Kings County County Agricultural re presentative, spoke briefly to the group. congratulating the mem- bers on their fine showing. He especially mentioned the great improvement in the animals shown over last year. He also warned the boys to look to their laurels as the club now had several member. of the fairer sex who displayed a keen com- petitive spirit. Miss Audrey Macliiillan very capably placed the animals. out- lining her reasons for doing so to aid club members in future achievement days. this means a gross take of S9.- 000. Experts say i tis possible to produce ll high as 6.000 lbs from one acre. Mr. Macbean recalls that in the Parrsboro area of Nova Sco- tia a large area of what was formerly considered waste land baa been made to provide a mil- inn dollar industry which of course was the salvation of that community. it is understood that American interests who are prominent in the Parrsboro area are looking toward the island for further ex- pansion. Mr. MacLean believes that Island farmers would be well advised to hold unto their land and reap the benefits of this crop for themselves. THE TERROR Another quaint story by Gregoi'Y Clark.
