_____.j?___._ it clear that the dealers with whom I have done business have given me excellent service but under the present setup we can not qualify for Government aid."

Mr. o‘Connor the stated that a lot of dealers were willing to co- operate but some dealers who were also big growers did not wish to see farmers organized.

Mr. Urban MacQuaid. poultry dealer, stated that the small deal- crs were behind the organizers. They recognized that they must have the surplus marketed in I proper manner.

Mr. Woodrow Wheatley. East Royalty, also urged organization. He said he raised 18'! pigs here this winter and had a market in Newfoundland for them but there was no place in Charlottetown where he could set them dressed.

Address by Mr. Parent

Mr. Parent gave an instructive outline of the role of grass in the province. He pointed out that is- land soils were not rich and were partlcularly low in organic matter Methods of improvement. he stat- ed, were by barnyard manure, grasses and pastures.

For .1549 he reported the follow- ing crop acreages. Wheat, 6.500: oats. 113.033: barley. l0.C00; buck- wheat. 1,000: mixed grains. 09,000: pctatocs, 49.090; hay and clover. 225.000; good pasture. 337.000: rough pasture, 80.000. and roads. l-17.400.

He pointed out that today farm- ers in this province are buying $2.- ouopoo worth of fertilizer and put- ting 90 per cent of it on potatoes with the consequence that they have to import about $2,000,000 worth of feeds. He showed by ll- lustration that alfalfa. clover and timothy crops were followed by heavier productions on the follow- ing year than were the other

crops.

He stated that there was I fut- ure in the province for the making of grass siieage. During the talk he was interrupted several times by farmers who wished to express their opinion on certain problems and who questioned him repeatedly on questions pertaining to them farming areas.

Three directors for each county were appointed. They were Messrs John Myers. Edwin Lord and Ers- kine Forbes for Prince; sarriuel Hume. .l.J. MacDonald and Wil- lard Proud for Queen's Ind P. A- Mclsaac. Russel Ching and Doug- las Coffin for King's. Mr. John Myers was appointed at delegate to the Federation of Agriculture.

Satisfactory i-epoi'l.s were receiv- eal from the following branch in- stitutes, Dunk River. Four Branch. Lot 45. North Bedeque. savage Harbour. Sourls East. Tryon and Lot 17. The President gave special congratulations to North “edeque for outstanding work.

Only one resolution was passed. that of the meeting favoring the marketing board. A motion of 9.?‘ preciation to the Federation of Ag- riculture and particularly to Mt. Leo Mcfsaac. Secretary. was moved by Mr. Claude smith. East Royalty and seconded by Mr. Wilfred Mac- Aieer, Hope River.

been received. .

‘There are ‘aornepwbo claim that I Iuppo . price should not be placed on potatoes in Prince Edward laland and New Bruna-' wick alone. but that any assist- ance given should be Canada- wlde. I submit that I support price under potatoes in tbeee two Provinces, II was provided',last year. is I definite Idvaatageto every Province in Canada. because the holding of our mar-keta It a moderately high level. would pro- tect the other Provinces to al- most the same extent.

"I am not altogether sold on the idea of support prices or sub- Ildiu II I long-term programme. but here is an emergency. and I feel that some redress should be forthcoming. I have had cor- respondence with other Ministers of Agriculture, and with the Fed- eral Minister and everybody seems to be pressing along the same line. We trust that something may come out of it yet. but I wouldn't be too sanguine that it will come in time to be of much use to us this year."

Veterinary Assistance

The. Minister announced that I Veterinary Assistance Act will be introduced at the present session. He hoped that sufficient funds will be provided to mt up I ve- terinary service. In the past year the Department subsidized a

group of twenty-one young men to the Graham Scientific School at Newark. N.J., and this course will prove of much benefit to them in their future operations. - The Minister regretted that more? people are not taking advantage: of the courses at the Vocational , School. A short leadership course_ at St. Dunstan's University. spon-' sored by the Department last sum- mer, proved a decided success.

Seed Cluslflcaflon

Noting that the Potato Growers Association was requesting a change in the classification of seed potatoes, Mr. Baker said he. was of the opinion that it would be advantageous to have the seed going into the United States con- I fined to Foundation A stock. “It, would give this Province an ad- vantage because we produce more Foundation A seed. but owing to the lateness of our season the U.S. quota is largely filled by New] Brunswick before our shipments get under way. If we could get an agreement whereby the require-; ments of that quota would be; Foundation or Foundation A, I believe we would get a much larger share of the U. S. mar- ket." he said. '

Potato shipments to date from this Province amounted to 7.180 carloads, representing an ln.cr:ase' of 1718 carloads over the same date last year, he reported.

He referred aso to failure in the I efforts to obtain an equivalent} freight reduction over

i l l

Canadian‘ lines, to that granted by the In- terstate Commerce Commission to Maine growers in the United $155. This resulted in a dif-,' ferential to our disadvantage of about 13 cents per bag in the New England markets. i

The Minister strexed the need of closer supervision over the quality of table potatoes mar- keted in other Provinces, citing an instance which was called to his attention in Toronto in this connection.

Apart from potatoes and tur- nips. inspection of vegetables is not compulsory in this Province. This matter has been taken up with the Federal Department. and it is hoped that inspection of other vegetables along the same! lines will be provided. A go_od percentage of Island vegetables are shipped to Newfoundland, and some of them have, unfortunately. not been “up to scratch." Now that Newfoundland is part of the Dominion. it is desirable to have this service

Exhibition Program

Referring to the five year ex- tension programme of the Pro- vincial Exhibition which is being aided by Federal and Provincial contributions. Mr. Baker said he considered this to be directly in the interests of agriculture and livestock promotion. "The im- provomenta to be made will result in one of the finest exhibition set-ups in Eastern Canada." he declared.

On the subject of rural electri- fication. he lnstanced the example set by the Bedeque. Fernwood and Shelton communities. ‘They didn't wait for the Government to build a line," he said. "They formed a company and came to the Government. putting up their personal bonds to the amount of

money they wanted. They made arrangements with‘ the Summer aide municipal plant and they have had that service established all around that area. The Gov- ernment made the money avail- bio for them, that was all. I will take off my bat to any com- munity that will go ahead and do I thing that way.

"Practically the same thing happened in Lower Freetown. They didn't have to borrow any money. but they put up their own money and built I line and they are getting the service in that way."

Continuinl. the Mliilater ‘Illd that heretofore the Provincial la- boratory bas been operating un- der the Department of Welfare in conjunction with the Department of Agriculture. While this setup has been of great benefit. there has been I little coiiilietion, which could be eliminated if the labora- tory iI operated entirely by the Welfare department.

Up to I short time ago the blood tests for Bangs disease were not recognized at the Provincial inb- orntory. and the specimens had to be sent to Sackville, N.B. As I consequence, shipments of cattle were held up until the results were received. Mr. Baker said he had been able to get thla situa- tion remedied. and the Provincial- telts are now being accepted.

Commends Pi-edeoecaor

"Many of the things accom- plished in my department during the past year are entirely due to the good management of my pre- decessor in office (Mr. W. F. A. Stewart), the Minister said. He referred particularly to the of-

ifice accommodation provided for

the Women's Institutes on Queen Street. He commended the ex- cellent work of this organization.

Staff additions have been made to provide supervision for boys and girls clubs. and the farm in- dustry will benefit greatly by these activities. he said.

Mr. Baker complimented the Island \vinners’at the Amherst Fair last fall in hog and cattle classes, as well as in the ‘achieve- merit of the hon. member for Second King's (Mr. Burge) in'win- ning the potato crown.

"I feel that we would be well advised if we considered assisting exhibitors from this Province in paying their transportation on selected animals at Amherst, as well as at the Royal Show in To- ronto." Mr. Baker said.

One thing at the Royal which interested him particularly was the display of dressed poultry from Nova Scotia. "Our Province has the finest quality in Canada but up to the present we have not been able to put it up right, or get it where we should have it.“ He had been assured by Mr. Nasli. local Dominion poultry products inspector. that at next year‘s Royal Fair island dressed poultry will be there with an exhibit which it is hoped will hold its own with that of any province in the Dominion.

Packaged Products

Mr. Baker was also‘ impressed with the display of packaged dairy products. The Toronto stores sell packaged cheese wrapped in film. without rind, for 55 cents a pound. "The Provincial Department is now investigating ways and means of introducing this system here. The Dairy Association is also like- ly to introduce automatic butter wrappers, which one dairy com- pany in Charlottetown has al- ready in-troduced. “I think this is a wise step." the Minister said; “and I can assure the House that our department is willing to give any assistance the Association may require."

He referred also to the exhibit of Island hogs at Amherst. which were later sent on to the Royal

Fair. The animals were out of their own p s for about three weeks and d not make I good

showing at Toronto. but when it came to the judging of carcasses —-which was hot done by live- stock breeders but by representa- tives of the packing houses who knew I good product when they saw it—ihe Island exhibitors scored top honours.
