On interviewing these directors, they seemed vary pleased with the progress being made by the local plaiit. They stated that the first year of, operation is more or loss of an experiment for the Company with regard to the quantity and quality that can be produced here, as well iis for the Efowfllniii learning to grow a crop of the proper quality and size required. One point which they particularly wish to bring before the farmer, .s not to become dis- couraged if their first year's crop is not sis successful as was hoped for, due to the fact that they might have grown a. lot of over- sised oultumbsrs which are not as desirable, and therefore come un- der a lower priced grade.

It has been proven in the Pro- vince of Ontario. through 35 years of growing experience. that it is a very profitable enterprise for the farmer. "The Island growers,’ Q. Wells said, “have poved that fir; can grow the type oi cucum- ber desired as the quality of this year's crop is splendid."

This plant which anticipated handling about two million pounds this year, have already taken in over 75 per cent oi that quota,‘ and expect to go well over that amount this year. In fact oflic- iala i charge have already com- mence work on the construction oi an additional platform which will accommodate some 100 more storage vats. These extra vats have already been ordered. to handle this year's production.

Looking ahead to next year, they expect to do a big business in the packing of strawberries and possibly other fruits as well. They feel confident that they will more than double their acreage and production of cucumbers.

Messrs. Walls and Matthews commented on the splendid co- operation thcy have received from all those whom they have dealt with during the setting up of this new industry. They expressed hope that it is going to be a pro- fitable one for the Island as a whole, as well as for their own interuts,
