TRUCKS 1N COLLISION-An |Irving Oil truck proceeding to- , wards Sununerslde about 11:30 » (Daylight Saving Time) last night was in collision with a parked ravel truck about a mile and a iall‘ on the eastern side of the Western Capital. The rear tank of the oil truck was torn completely off the vehicle as well as the gaso- line tank taps. About three or four hundred gallons of gasoline were spilled on the road as a result. The other vehicle was also damaged. Nobody was iiurt in the accident. OVERSEAS VOTE RECEIVED- The results of the Provincial Pleb- _iscite are now complete with the returns of the soldiers’ vote frcci overseas which was 193 in favor of ,the sale of beer and wine as bev- erages and six in favor of the pro- hibition act. This gives a major- ity of 187 against prohibition. Be- ‘fore the overseas vote was re- ceived there was a majority of l 1565 for prohibition and this fig- Qure is now reduced to 1378, the final totals being—10,432—9.054. ,The soldiers vote in Canada was 3 1,000 for beer and wine, 28 for pro- |hihltlon. 995 for government con- | trol. 43 against. 66 for reducing the ,doctors’ subscriptions and 966 ag- lainst. The overseas vote respec- ltlvely was as follows 193-6; 197-3: 9-192, making the respective totals for the soldier's vote 1193-34; 1192- 46; 76-1158. Exclusive of the sol- diers’ vote (overseas and in Can- ada) the figures were, beer and wine, 7.861, prohibition 10,308; for government control, 7,212, against 11,368; for limiting prescriptions 10,772 against 7.765.

It was moved by Mr. Harvey Douglas and seconded by Mr. Rob- ert Coiinelly that this meeting go on record as protestin against the increase oi’ t5 per on in the cost of Sulphate of Ammonia. That as this is a by product and is not subject to the import tax, there should not be this heavy percentage of increase in cost and it should be brought to the attention of the proper authorities in order that they should investigate the reason for the advance in price. The meeting was then thrown open for general discussion and the President called on Mr. J. A. Gil- lies. Manager of the Livestock Marketing Board. Mr. Gillies gave a very comprehensive address pointing out the work done by co- operatives when there was a need and urged that when that need was nolonger apparent, farmers should not forget that it might again exert itself. He also suggested that a vigil- ance committee be appointed that would keep track of the costs of that which the farmer must buy. Quite an interesting discussion followed taken part in by Messrs. Tolvnsheiid. Gonnelly, Douglas. Howatt and others. larger Potato Movement At the close of the meeting the Manager had a talk with the ag- ents oi the Association and poiiit- ed out that in all probability the movement of potatoes would be later this fall than usual and that their patrons should be warned in time to make proper provlslml 1,0 protect their crop against frost, The Directors met after the meeting and Mr. E.

We should emphasize that the potato industry in this province provides a wond- erful source of revenue. This has always been true.

And so began the work that expanded in influ- ence and results far beyond the hope of the organizers. “It is now an old story that in the following eight ears a com- plete reform was ef ected both in production and in marketing and the value of the potato industry to the province due to the work of this Association was increased many times. It is still necessary to maintain such an organization. A good work has no ending. There are many matters in connection with the potato industry which un- less they are followed up will cause serious loss. That this is true is demonstrated by the report which your management and directors submit to you today. Best Year Sfnoe 1931 "We can report the best business year since 1931 and while our tum- ovcr was not as great as in 1931. we are able to show a better net operating profit than we had in that year. We had an increase in quantity shipped over 1939 of 200- 000 bushels of potatoes. There iras a drop in the number of bushels of 'I‘urnlps shipped. but this decline was a saving rather than a loss. "Ollr total business turnover for the year was not quite a million do Ifl1'$, but was considerably over the nine hundred thousand dollar Victoria, 13.

"Your Board of Directors natur- ally is pleased with the outturn for the year, not only from the getting letters whilc iic is abroad. smndpomt 0g prof“ but also from the fact. that there was such a good "eilliqilrmed increase in the volume of business. The good year yvlll afford a meas- ure of satisfaction to the entire membership who understand that the profits. instead of being rebat- ed to the membership. are now ap- plied against the deficit which has always been and is a liability of the membership. "In looking over the accounts previous lo 1931. it may be noted that one year alone there was re- bated to the membership a bonus of 325.000. How unfortunate it was that those rebates of the past had not been ordered by the Board of Directors to be set up as a reserve. “It might be of interest to those present and in fact to the public at large to give you a short state- (xmglllded, the two merit regarding the ootato industry of the province for the past year. The total shipments fioni the pro- Rlnce (this hicludes all potatoes shipped) was approximately four milfion bushels of seed and table- siock number one and two grades. This would net the farmer at least two million dollars. and that net menus for the most port at his farm. All dealers provide the con- tainers. This cost is not borne by the farmer. Market Regular "The market for the entire year was regular There was not much fluctuation in price as often occurs 11-112- during the ycor and the fall prices for seed were better than the spring prices. Unfortunately. our fall biwers of reed suffered heavy losses this mineinnloaueuaw obiiged to administer the year's work without him. Nevertheless, in view of the work that he is do- lng, we must make sacrifices just cause in which we are all en- gaged has its triumphant finish. “We regret to record the pass- ing away of the lat; Angus Mc- Phee, M. L. A., who was until his death on our board of directors. Mr. McPhee was keenly interested in the success of the organiza- tion and his wise council at the Board Meetings was appreciated. “We offer our congratulations to the l-fon. B. W. LePage, a former member of our board of directors. who has been elevated to the high- est office in our land, that of Lieu- tenant-Governor of the province. Future Prospects “And now what of the future? Many of you would like me to say something about the outlook for 1940. What a great thing we are not gifted with the power of fore- sight snd therefore anything which we may say is merely a guess. Of course, we may share each others opinions and derive what comfort we may from a discussion of them. but there is one warning we think shouid be sounded and that is that every grower should make provis- ion to house practically his entire crop at time of dissing and thus prevent any loss from curly frosls. "It was almostamlracle that last. year we were able to get away so many potatoes before heavy frosls. We cannot see a possibility of do- ing the same thing this yoai‘. Therc are at least two rollsons against early shipments. First. the prcsezit seed potatoes the same tllrouglioiu the year. Therefore. it ls not nov- Carolina'have their potatoes 3ll'l'i\'(‘ _ before the 30th of November as it was heretofore. 'I'hey may arrange to have them come later in the season. say the last of December 0i‘ first of January thus saving storage charges. handling, and lu- terest on money. about the same as for your ‘As-l soclatlon to bring in its FYFEIIIZCI‘; requirements in Mai-ch that i: (Ild l not nccd until the middle of May. Another reason is that dealers have been losing money by buying early in the fall rather than later in the season and the severe loss expor- ienced in 1940 may work against us this year in making early sales. We may also mention the possible difficulty in securing steamers. ‘That is from the marketing stand- int po . "On the other hand. we have a small increase in the total acreage for the province. which is more than offset by the increased acre- age under certification. Mr. Pep- pln advises that there is at least 2,500 more acres this year entered for certification than we had in 1939. This increase does not mean the farmers are growing a largcr acreage but rather that hundred: more have applied for certifica- tion. Afler all. our average acreage to the farmer is very low. Even the acreage of those who grow corti- flcd seed does not. exceed six acres per rower.
