unusual increase in apvlklllvm 1°!‘ certification was also received. Out of a tots; of over 35.099 acne in- tended for seed purposes over 31.- 000 passed inspection. as couspand with “alto passing inspect-ion in the previous season The yield gen- erally wee satisfactory ranging from, fairly light yields 1n the centre and Eastern pa-rt of the Province in early varieties to eiriéeptionally heavy yield! in Prince County. The quality of the crop was exception.- elly high.

There ta no doubt that aha quant- lty of marketable potatoes in the hands of growers at. the completion of harvesting wee very much high- er than in the years of average pro- duction Great difficulty was exper- ienced tn satisfactorily housing potatoes and if it were not for the foot that the Fall was extremely favourable for both harvesting and temporary storage. great. losses would have occurred from frost damage. 3

A further saving factor in the situation was tiho large quantity of potatoes exported from the Provq inoe during the Fail months. At the end of tihe year some 700 car loads of potatoes up and above the quantity shipped in the same per- iod last year were exported.

The whole question of potato production should be very wisely considered. A disturbing factor in marketing has developed due to the t ,. on the part of T013. Dicks and Harrys to speculate and gamble in potatces. Acreages or: DlB-nted by mar-y producers who simply do not look ahead or pio- vlde storage for their crops. Lame quantities of potatoes stored in barns and other outbuildings de- velops. as frost conditions approach. a selling hysteria. Tine tendency then is to unload and the result is a depressed market.

This practise Ls f a t a1 to tihe position of sane ban-a ltd-e producers who are carry- lng a normal acreage, but who wish to dispose cf n portion iii their crop early to clear exnensv. There was little justification in the year 1946 for a. general over-all in- crease in acreage of potatoes in view of the fact that it was one cf the food products the production which was discouraged rather iiian encouraged at the CanadH-uh Ag-ri- cultural Conference, and by Feder- al and Provincial leaders across Canada.

fire in the Davis 8: Fraser plant at Charlottetown the Dmblem °I storage has developed to an alarmingly acute stage. Faculties available are entirely inadequate. Dairy men are particularly 5m!‘ tons regarding the outlook for the storage of butter and cheese. while fox brecdrs who are de- pending an cold storage supplies in their industry are also exper- iencing anxiety regarding the fu- 1111?.

The general storage probicm is one which Ynust. be handle-d with pmmptncss and vigor if the rtccds 0i our farmer producers are to bc adequately cared for, and in this respect the thoughtful co-or- dinated efforts of all existing pro- vinciai organizations is suggested as an initial stop in solving the problem.

Fox Industry Fox breeders continued t-helr

\\'iil‘k of improvement with that intelligence and vigor that has ai-

wziys been characteristic of this group of producers. During ille war years inferior types have

been eliminated and newer and

i improved types have been devel-

Prioe Support

During the latter part of the year representations were made to the Prices Support Board to support the price of potatoes during tlic present season and as a result an arrangement has been made to an- ply assistance during the coming Spring months. Negotiations are still goiniz on by provincial agri- cultural ieaders in. the interests of our potato producers.

During thr- vcar legislation was P855011 providfniz for more strenuous resolutions over control of disease and pests. Under the provisions of the legislation. committees were ap- pointed to confer with the govern- ment Departments in relation to protective measures within the potato industry. Th;- legtslatiori pro- vides for the deduction of one-half e cent for every one hundred pounds of potatoes exported from the Province in order to build un it fund from which at any time neces- sary disbursements may be made covering the‘ carrying out of neces- sary protection and improvement in the industry. Considerable sums of money have already been expended in disease control in accordance with the spirit and purpose of the Act.

The protective movement hns been well received by producers and M‘ wirioarnsd "*1! sh:~\v='\ 0'31]- mendabie spirit within the industry.

Provincial Laboratory

The Provincial Laboratory has been e centre of industry durfnz the year. A large amount of work

hes been done in diagnosing poet mortem examinations on various classes of livestock but more par-

ticularlv within tihe poultry ar-zl fox breeding industries.

The service that the laboratory has rendered has been of a. very outstanding character and its in- fluence is under constant growth. Under conditions of inadequate, general veterinary t-crvlce the Pro- vihcinl Laboratory has rendered an outstanding contribution in needy cases.

During the present year testing of approximately 50.000 blood sam- ples taken from poultry flocks in tho Province has been successfully conducted while upwards of 25.000 foxes have been inuociilated as a preventative measure against dis- eases. The detail necessary to a euooelafui examination and disg- nosis is of a most comprehensive character and the accurate services performed in this respect under the guidance of Dr. George Bishop has be; d a inost veluobie nature.

Sheep and lambs

The Sheep industry continues! to remain about stationery in‘ numbers although distinct im- v-ovements have been made inl quality and methods of market-l ing. An nalasla of type o! lambs‘ placed on the market has devel- oped an interest in more suitable breeds od’ sheep for common-Jail purposes. As a result of such in- I terse! over l0 Ohevlot rams were . imported and distributed in the‘ sheep sections west of Sumner-t side during the hi1 months for crossing on local types.

The Department of Agriculture, allo allilted in the dlstribtltlonr of local rain supplies. These sup-i plies were quietly picked up by sheep breeders and sold under the allstafree rendered through, the rem premium policy. Approgl- l mately I00 reins were distribut- ed. An encouraging patronage of rail grading o! lambs was also experienced. This practise ts not

. only commendable from the stand-

polnt of improved rk tlsi practise but also on thembsslea o: the information it provides for_ tmltroved sheep haetiendrv.

oped. The cost of production has increased very materially. never- theless fox breeders hold on in the hope of better days ahead.

At the present time. the im- incdiate outlook is of a gloomy nature. Mnrkct levels on pelts have sagged and costs stiii con- tinue to increase. This is u most discouraging outlook for our breeders. However. such situa- tions occur in rill industries and no doubt the svticcl will slowly re- vnivo to bring the industry out or its present situation to one of briithter prospects. In the meantime if there is ii possibility of tho industry. which is of such "real vniiie to both tho oenoie and tho Government of this Province "rid Canada. being supported in cnv wav to tide ovr-r the rircs- "WC situation than every effort should be made to bring about such assistance.

Conferences and Organization

A great many important confer- cnccs took place within the Pro- vince among nrovinrilil groups and Wllll rcnrcscntativcs from various parts ni’ Canada. Newfoundland and tho Old Country. Ono of the itiost imnorlnnt of thcsc was the special mccting of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture held in Charlottetown in Septr-mhpr, Rap- rcsentutivcs from ail provinces in Canada were in attendance and received first hand impressions of some of our disabliitics as well as some of the natural assets which wi- have in the Province.

We cannot possibly estimate the ereat value of this conference. We fool confident, however, that any subsequent claims which may be made on brlialf of agriculture. will receive from the representatives ivho vlstcd us very sympathetic consideration.

Maritime conferences between Provincial Ministers and officials were also conducted and problems oi’ mutual interest rcccivcd care- ful study. As a result a unified front is possible when matters oi’ interest to the Maritime! are discussed in National Conference. A representative of the British Ministry of Food visited the Province in October and discuss- cd matters of inter-national im- poi-lance. and with particular ref- erence to e38 contracts.

Possibly the most valuable of meetings held were those tn which the rank and file of farmers and farmers‘ wivcs participated through Btwdy Club tedlnique and other pro \ncial organisations.

i! Matters dealt with at these ma? lngs are moulding agrlcultilfl policies and directing the attelv tion of the average farm produo- ors to the many problems of pro- duction and Irwlrketiirg which file mers of today have to ertoollntei Ill lithe, "
