The great Sahara like all other deserts. comes into being becausc lhe wind has to blow over great stretches of land before it reach- es the arid places. Clouds form and rain falls over the desert oc- casionally, but it seldom reaches the parched earth. The air is so dry it absorbs the moisture before it can reach the ground. it is one of the strangest sights to stand on the desert sands and watch the rain descending from the sky only to see it disappear like a vision in mid air. What we call a heavy flash of lightning is i-pally just several million little flashes rolled into one big flash. When lightning hits a tree it nearly always splits it open. The flash is so hot that it turns the sap into steam as quick as a cat can wink her eye so that it is the steam and not the lightning that splits the tree apart. Steam and hot water b o i l e r s ought not to be drained at the end of each heating season. Con- trary to popular belief. they should be kept full of water throughout the summer to prevent rust and curroslon. Trading wives 80 years ago proved to be a good deal for 1: Kings County foursome. The men decided to swap wives when they agreed that they got along bot- l.cr with each oihcr's lvriliicn when- ever the two families came to- gctlicr. One couple took all of the ten children to raise as their own. while the other couple got a coli- ple of cows and a pig as part of their bargain. The trade proved ll sound olic as the couplcs got :1- long splendidly alid all xv er c friends to the end of their days. Trading wives was taboo in those dliys but occasionally the swap was carried out lvithnut any intcr- fcrcnce from the law.

E. l. potatoes along with Compulsory Pool with one-man control because we feel that the net returns would be less than the open market would give, and based our thoughts on the following facts- 1. OF P. E. I. 1:2:-2-j-:2: 1. Marketing Board, desire public in relation to the Mr. MacDoi-laid did not consult the Potato Marketing Board roncexning the Pleblscite held last Spring; if he had done 3'! we would have pressed for definite questions instead of the ballot that was mailed out. Tile compulsory one-man Pool plan was aubmitte,d to (hg Potato Marketing Board as a finished product without any previous consultation as to its construction or purpose and after discussion was passed in principle by a vote of five for and four sgalr-st. The details were, later discussed by a meet. ling of the Board when two members were out of the Prov. net. The majority of the Board have named D, A, MgcDgnald m h! II". sole Selling Agency for all P. E. 1. potatoes and have imposed upon the dealers and farmers the same licence fees as were enacted during iht past two years. These fees it is proposed will be dqdllclol tram the first shipment of potatoes to the Pool. We pleaded with Mr. MacDonald to cut out the compulsory feature from the Pool and that if he believes the Pool system 10 IN. ll benefit to the Producer: he should try it on a volun- tary basis and if it worked there would be no trouble in hav- ing practically every potato in the Province in the Pool. This he positively refused to consider and demanded all or nothing stating that all he would get would be the skim milk and the dealer the cream. The present meetings being held have 4 not been considered nor autliorizd by the Potato Marketing Board or any othrn YOCOKYIIZEFI ASOMY that we know of but are solely the actjorr of Mr. MacDonald taking the farmers to have him handle all their potatoes working on his own experience of last year and his own judgment of policy. We understand that after the Charlottetown meeting a com. promise plan of action was submitted to Mr. MacDonald as chairman of the Board. The Board was not called to consider it nor was it mentioned at our last meeting held October 5th which meeting was apparently called to authorize Mr. MacDon- aid to represent Prince Edward Island are potato meeting in ttawa. ' With reference, to the recent publicity freight rates. We would point out freight contract recently announced was negotiated by the following Committee:-Mr. Rand Matheson, Executive Secre- tary Maritime Transportation Commission, Mr. J. O. C. Camp. hell. Q.C., representing the P.E.I. Government. and Messrs. A. A. Scales, E. D. Reid. L. H. Poole, G. E. Full, representing iii-w regarding the new that the agreed charges-- Potato industry and D. A. MacDonald representing the. P E. f. Potato Marketing Board. Actually the Board's only function was to confirm the arrangement of negotiations arrived at. The Marketing tseheme of last year was an entirely voluntary one and there is no foundation for the statement that A com- pulsory pool ls the only way to get assistance, from Ottawa. The Board applied to Ottawa for a renewal of last year's scheme. The replies have not been placed before the Board. but information would indicate I lower advanced price than was made last year. - This type of scheme is not government support. and is not in any way designed to lose money so that the next time pota- toes look like being surplus in the U. S. and Canada. the ads vanes under a Pool Cooperative Marketing Scheme will he set so low as to be of no value to the grower. Any other idea at this plan is just bluff. and in marketing other business responsibilities we opposed tllii' P. E. I. produced nine. million bushels. North America fouvl hundred million bushels of potatoes and as our potatoes art sold in competition with all other eastern potatoes, one area cannot influence the markel. either way by establishing an autocratic selling Agency, and any firm who tries to will go bankrupt. Our customers buy P. E. 1. potatoes because of quality. and price and the scheme is so drawn up as to service, to market minimum quality, and to demand top prices This scheme will divert the customers to other areas tiral and they will only come here wllcil they have to or to re ceive bargain prices. serviow lower the From 1924 to 1934 the Potato Growers Association conducted the Pool system for Marketing Seed potatoes and gt, the 3;." they had ninety-live percent of the Island Seed in the Pools. potatoes over one desk depres- sed the price. The independent price was so much higher that the Association abandoned the Pool system and came down. from handling ninety-five pexront of the Seed to fifteen per-i rent, and than were unable to render fair service to mug members. What happened? - Too many Take away personal contact-goodwill and past substitute, as the scheme does, an impersonal one desk be. tween the trade at this end and the, prospective customer at the other and and our customers will turn elsewhere as any customer will do large or small In purchasing any quantity. ' service mil Financing such A scheme is a big problem the Pool is in no position to make prompt only pay advances as funds come in, and settle when all II moved and paid for. in other words, the plan can only be financed by the returns from the, farmt-rs' own pointoeg, and the Board or payments and can As individuals, we are not conceited after thirty to forty years experience that we are handle with GNOUII1 to believe th in marketing potgtom competent singly or as a team to undertake to any measure or success the, marketing of the P. E. l. potillo crop. Ten million dollar business in n perlshablq product. like potatoes, is really big business, and any errors in Judgment will reflect drastically on the net return of A Pool. With only the P. E. f. potato crop withdrawn from the from market, we cannot help but end up in the position-that all other areas will get the advantage, of the goodwill and patron. age of the purchasers. Remember two years ago when the attempt was fiuenca the market by issuing nrdei-il as to the price to h( paid to the growers here. The attempt proved to be dis- astrous for those who paid attention to Mr. MacDonald's ord- era.
