situation was hotter than 1953 when

Mr. Lnhay said the disease in- creased because the 1954 crop was late and wet weather hampered proper inspections.

Prcsent day Canadian agricult- urc bears some resemblance in its behavior to the above mention- ed horse. Here and there along the road it gets into situations of creating and instead of gracefully cooperating in the ob- vious remedy proceeds to jump about and head in a number of. different directions all at the same time.

We have surpluses; we persist in producing more. our capital in- vestment is getting out of line: we go on adding to it, livestock we have found out no longer requir- es expensive housing but we go on building expensive barns. We know that organization and united action will over the long haul Improve the situation but we persist in being rugged individualitists when ,we can't afford the cost.

The report of the Dominion Marketing Services for December 5 notes that turnip exports to date have been smaller than last year down from 1.1 million bushel to 872 thousand but prices on Prince Edward Island are 28 cents per bushel or 7 cents less than last year. In Ontario. however, prices are higher than last year ranging betwccn 50-65 cents a bushel com- pared with 40-50 cents in 1954. Now this scents to be a rather puzzling condition.

WINTER DISASTER

with each succeeding year the Island farm population becomes

lgasoline, upon snow plows and upon getting to trading centers tor many of the necessities of life. In .the past and within the nieniury of many of us we have had winters in this Province with a continuat- ion of storms which produced snowfalls so heavy that the pos- sibility ul getting wheel traffic moving under similar circumstan- ces would be quite remote.

A percentage of rural people are depending on oil for heating and have no horses for transport- ation. The really old-fashioned win- ter could produce very serious in- conveniences if not hardships upon a people almost completely dep-l endent on automobiles and trucks. We do not know whether it is possible to plan in advance for such an emergency btit if and when it does occur our highway authorities will have a problem on their hands.

TWO CHAMPIONS

Eastern Kings County had good reason to be proud of two of its farmers who were honoured at the Rotary luncheon Monday. In many cases the farmers success is Judg- ed by the size of his operation and the volume of production but champions are usually decided on the basis of excellence. This is how it should be and Messrs. Mc- Auley and MacDonald prove their right to be classed as perfection- ists. It has not always been the custom to recognize publicly the outstanding achievements of in- dividual farmers. Possibly society must progress to a certain point before such functions take place. In any event Monday's testinionial dinner was a happy precedent and one which should be continued when and if similar worthy oc- casions present themselves.

The trophy presented by the Horticultural Council is an impos- ing one, costing 51.60000 and weigh ing upwards of 60 pounds. We are sure it will be the center of much interest in the Mcflulcy home at Campbell's Cove.

POTATO TARIFFS

While it is perhaps a trifle pre- mature to judge what the final action, on the part of the Domin- ion Government, may be with res- pect to potato tariffs, there is. nevertheless, some grounds for an uneasy feeling that there will not likely be much in the way of relief forthcoming.

The Canadian potato industry is convinced, and we believe rightly so, that the imposition of a modest tariff against American importat- lons would benefit the growers. partlculary in the Maritimes and British Columbia. It would. how- ever, be far from the truth to suggest that this tariff question is the most important problem for the lndustry. In this Province there are far more important pro- blems to deal with, matters which can and should be solved provinci- ally. We refer to marketing and protection of our reputation for a disease free porduct. It takes a variety of services to make up the Industry. Each has an important part to play and it is not enough

The Christmas worship program. "What Child is This." as outllnad In "The Monthly" was under the leadership of Mrs. John . with all numbers present assist- lng as readers of the uvsral scrip- ture passages. and Joining in the singing of a numb of Christmas carols. -

The business period was con- ducted by the president, Mrs. Ralph Myers.

Nice sums were realized from the opening of the Birthday box, p the sale of Christmas cards in the . members. and a generous offering, , which the treasurer reported would enable the allocation to be reached.

Mrs. Warren Ferguson invited the members for their next meeting when the leader will be Mrs. Jos- eph Trowsdale and the lunch com- mittee Mrs. John Leard, Mrs. John Nicholson and Mrs. George Nicholson.

The following slate of officers was elected for coming year: Pres. Mrs. .lohn Leard; Vice-Pres, Mrs. George Nicholson; Sec'y Tres. Mrs.

maintaining that they have nothing but the welfare of the industry at heart. There should be proof of these good works. To the potato growers of this Province, we sug- gest that Tariffs are not the most important problem; marketing, dis ease control. and promotion all rank above it.

CAUTION OR CRITICISM

The President of the Canadian Bank of Commerce in a recent address appears to suggest that Canadian farm policy may be res- pansibe for the development of surplus production. From the statement as it appears we are unable to judge whether Mr. Stew- art wss dealing in caution or criticism. There is little to indicate that the supports supplied in Can- ada are encouraging production, nor does there appear to be any likelihood of the Canadian Govern- ment applying prlce support at lncentiva levels. The reference to the wheat surplus would apply only with justice to the United States. Canada is not subsidizing wheat. The concluding statement that "we can surely do something more than rely on sets of God to solve difficulties and reduce surpluses" suggests that Mr. Stewart feels there must be some man-made answer. If there is. It should not be kept secret for it is being eagerly sought.
