They came to Summer- side to live, where Mr. Corripton established a furniture factory and undertaking business, which he car- ried on until his death about nine years ago. The business is now in the hands of their son, Keith. Mrs. Compton It once endeared herself to all classes and was a faithful member of Trinity Church. She brought up a large family, six of whom are living. She was at all times an affectionate wife and mo- ther. There are left to mourn, three sons, Bruce, in Collin’; Prank, in New York; Keith at home; and three daughters, Mrs. George B. Hillis and Mrs. A. E.

The minutes of the last annual meetng were read by the Secretary and adopted. The Aud tor’: report quoted above was then presented by R. V. Lona- worth and adopted. - Mr. Frank Tinney, Assistant Superintendent of the Experiment- al Far-m gave an interesting addresl on the oost o: feed compared with producton, citing figurm from the Experimental Farm Records from vi/hloh the conclusion was drawn that unless the production amount- edtoaboilt 150eggsper hen per year a reasonable proft could not be obtained. The figures illowed that the profit increased with the production until when a production of 20 dozen eggs per year was reach ed the gros profit per hen amount- ed to about three dollars. Mr. F‘. M1. Nash. Poultry Promot- er for the Province believed that ‘f poultry are kept under sanitary conditions no trouble from white dal-rhoea. would occur. He stated the greatest need in this Pmvince at the present time is for betel- feeding methods. Aibout two thirds of the poultry raiser-s are not feeding enough and production! cannot be maintained without prop- er feeding. ‘ He referred to the Cockerel Dis- tribution Policy oif the Federal Government by means of which 125 birds were placed here last year and urged all farmers to take ad- vantage of this. He dealt with diseases of poultry, and advised that suspected birds should be immediately segregated from the rest of the flock. - Mr. J. J‘. MoGillivray took an op- timistic viow of the work but stat- ed that the h'gh production nec- essary for good profit could not be obtained by the average farmer.- The Secretary referred to the Poultry Show being held in the Nash Show Rooms, Queen Street by the Mince Edward Island Poultry Asscciation and recommended that all» should visit it. The meeting adjourned until 2 o'clock. AFTER-NOON SESSION The afternoon ". session opened Sharp, Minister of Agriculture. I-Ie on behalf of the Government wel- comed the organization in the Cap- ‘tal, and invited the mcmlbers to visit the Government offices at any t'me. l-le’ said that the opinion abroad is that the Prince Edward Island Egg and Poultry Association h; a, model for all Canada and even for other countria. l-fe remarked that the egg market was not», as badly hit as others W101i as the ipofato market. Outlining tile steps taken for the removal d? the Brtish embargo against Canadian potatoes, Mr. Sharp said that hopes wcrc enter- tahied but ii; is riot known who! may be aecomplshed. A‘. the Im- perial Corliermze to be held in Ottawa, Great Britain will be seek- ing trade concessions and it is thought possbls the embargo re- moval might, be granted as a zest- ure of friendliness. w. Slurp stressed the import- ance of proper marketing with re- card to the producers profit, and added that. cooperative marketing stabilised the market and thereby benefited trade. Ho urged the adoption for the next fewyears 0f branches of fann- ing having unimmedbte yield and re marked that mixed farming was the most suitable type for Eastern Canada. Ho stated he was advised that New Brunswick was ouitng out all III-MI to elhibitimis for tile com- ing year and advfsed farmers to W1? Qllnusel and carry on.

Resolutions The report of the resolution com- mittee wastalren up and after some discussion a resolution t0 the ei- fect that the bonus should be paid twee a year instead of yearly was amended and the motion that the ‘bonus remain a. yearly one was passed by the meeting. The following resolution aitcr| much discussion was passed. "Whereas the present depression is greatly affecting the poultrymen of this Province and whereas we are forced to sell our eggs and poultry at a very low price, and whereas under present corlditons we cannot carry on if the over- head of this Association is not re- duced to a minimum. Be it there- fore resolved that the incoming directorate be asked to take this matter ulp and if feasible have some adjustments made to suit present condtions.” During the discussion lviir. Leigh’:- izer stated that We have the low- est overhead Ol any smilar associ- ation ln Canada. He explained the necessity for paying reasonable salaries to hold the expert graders employed. He attributed the low average price to the seconds and cracked eggs sent in by a number of producers. The presentation oi’ the cup do- nated by the "Agrioulturist" for the E“ 61"“ making the 5mm“ ‘m?
