High Oualiiy Peas Grown And Processed AI Bedeque

proof that horticultural crops Ci... be grown sucessfnliy in p...uce Edward Island is seen in me busy operation of the Cami?- bell and Burns canning plant at Bedeque where at present 250 cu- es of peas daily are being process- ..1. A new canning machine now on order will enable the plant to handle over 100 cases when It is installed.

Three years ago Harold Camp- bell and Lloyd Burngrtrled Glitteri- menting with the canning of vege- tables. Although their operations for the first year were on a small scale it soon became apparent lliat they could produce a quality at high quality which has since become popular in the stores of the Maritime Provinces.

The Department of Agriculture, anxious to help in the develope- ment of any Island industry gave financial assistance through the industrial Promotion Loan Com- mittee and lent the technical as- sistance of one the Provincial horticulturlsis.

Last year the Campbell and Burns plant canned between 17 and lit thousand cases of peas along

with other vegetables making a total output of about 25,000 cases. This year, their peas alone will acount for 25, cases. EXPERT ADIVCE

Giving technical advice to the plant and to the growers is Mr. George Wright, Horticulturist with the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Wright is a graduate of Mac- Donald College and is a farm boy whose father David Wright of Low- er Montague has long been known as one oi the leading swine breed- ers in the Province.

The young borticuiturlst who has a keen interest in the possibility of horticultural crops as a sec- ondary part of the Island's agri- cultural industry has made rc-

as high as 3). HIGH YIELD

The yield of peas on the Island is said to be about double that of the Canadian average and the sin and quality also surpass those grown anywhere else.

From the time the seed is pist- ed until they are safely packed

tons farmers when to plant their peas (Too many planted at the same time would result in a sur- plus at one time so that the plant could not handle them and many would be spoiled).

A record of daily temperatures is kept during the growing per- iod which shows the number at heat units the seed has absorbed. When a given number of heat units have been absorbed. The horticult ist employs what is wn as a tenderometer, a mach Inc which registers the amount of resistance the skin of the pea will offer before being broken.

Presuming the peas have reach- ed the proper-degree of tenderness the grower is advised to harvest classified three categories. fancy, choice or standard accord- ing to quality.

SIMPLE OPERATION When the peas are ready to har-

.vest, a special pea harvester oper-

ated by power take-off from the farm-tractor is used. This mach- ine takes a seven foot swath. A act of heaters 'sweeps the vines onto a moving canvas platform and deposits them in a neat wind- row to the left of the machine.

Next a hayloader is used to load the pea vines which are then tak- en to a huge machine called a "viner". The viner separates the pods from the vines and the peas from the pods. Next the hulled peas are run through a cleaner which is something the game in principle as a grain tanner.

Then begins a series of washings

A GREAT FUTURE

George Wright sees a great fut- ure in horticultural farming in Canada's garden Province. He sees many acres of sub standard soil which will not produce good forage crops being utilized for vegel table growing. I lie can see that families now living on what have long been spoken of desparagingly as blue- berry barrens. taking in as high as 345 a day during the blueberry scason. He is thoroughly convinc- ed that an acre of strawberries can give a famer a net yield of 3800 per acre. He believes that horticulture can save the agricult- ural economy of the Province

MUST INTEREST YOUTH

"We must Interest the youth of the Province in agriculture", said Mr. Wright. "It is a difficult thing to get the established farmer to change his methods of operation but the young people will take to new ideas more quickly and if more of them are convinced that is good living can be made from the soil. more will stay here".

Supervising the growing of hort- lciiltiiral crops is not a mere job with Mr. Wright it is a calling in which he delights. During the summer when important tests are being conducted regarding the groivini: of various fruits and veg- otnhlcs for the proposed frozen food plant here. many mornings at daybreak saw him in the plots examining the plants and record- ing the progress.
