One step we have ‘taken in the proper direction, is the institution of the School ‘Fairs. These local fairs for the children are surely a won- derful education. The pupils not only learn to do by doing, but the fact that their exhibits come in competition with those of schoolmates leads them to ‘take pleasure in their work that will surely tell in after years.

Besides these opened oysters there were imported 1,269 barrels of shell. in 1910 the Maritimes produced 27,005 barrels, so our production is not increasing rapidly. and if looked iuito ‘it ‘would ‘be discovered that the oysters so shipped were not of the quality we ‘should be shipping, but ‘time taken largely from the rivers ‘with low salinity. which do not ‘produce the high grade of oysters found in the bays no were the lMaipequea and other hllh grade oysters from these prov- inces which found a ready market. ‘ill 130M011 81nd other ‘eastern cities. Something iregiarding the value of oyster farming may be ‘gathered from the fact that those who have cultivated oysters state that each acre when put ‘in proper pro d-uct- "ion should produce 50 bushels of oysters per year. This year the av- erage price of good oysters on ‘the Montreal ‘marioet was $4.00 per bushel. The annual ‘report of the Commissioners of Shell Flohorlevs for Rhodc island for the year 1913 gives the production value ofFys- ters from the walnuts of Namganaett Bay and ‘its tributaries as follows: "Dulring the ‘early Seventies and in fact within the last ten Yea-N it ‘hiad made ‘P195855 but slowly. but durirng the last ten years it has progressed very rap- idly.
