AGRICULTURE

The following report was sub- mitted at the annual meeting of the Charlottetown Board or Trade on Wednesday by Mr. R. R. Bell. chairman of the Agricultural Com- mittce:

Various matter of importance to ﬂsrlcultuzc and the Agriculture 1n- terests of this Province were taken wider the consideration of your Agricultural committee during the year just past.

shortly after your Committee's formation two matters pertaining to agriculture received considerable Publicity in this Province. I re- fer to the scheme In respect to farm rehabilitation and the sub- Ject. of soil analysis. Early in the year the Board were privileged to hear an address on farm rehabili- tation by Mr. E. L. Eaton, Super- visor of Illustration Stations in this Province. Your Cormmlttee

lent its aid and support to this and are hopeful still despite the outbreak of war that this matter will not be dropped by the authorities, that some scheme of rehabilitation, [pressingly needed in this Province lat the present time. will be pro- cﬁeded with in the near future.

_ In reference to soil analysis, this IBoard passed a resolution drawing the attention of both local and federal Governments to the need of a. properly equipped soil labora- tory and a trained soil chemist to be stationed here. and that a soil survey be conducted. through the Province. Your Committee is pleased to note that provision is being made for a soil laboratory in a new building now under con- struction at the Experimental St-a- tiOn here. Your Committee feel that the matter of the appoint- ment of a soil chemist and the commencement of a. soil survey are matters of so sufficient importance that they should be strongly press- ed for to fulfilment.

Your Committee also in con- junction with the Board made ap- plication and expended consider- able effort in an endeavor to have lowered the freight rates applic- able to oar loadings of live stock consigned to Halifax.

Throughout the Province gener- ally the crops were good dining 1939. but your committee is not unmindful that there is consider- able distress among many of our farmers. We are more hopeful for a betterment of conditions in ithe future years and your Corn-

mitteo is of the opinion that a5 iagriculture plays such an import-

ant part in the prosperity of this

Province that more attention be lgiven and help and assistance be ‘provided, so that farming should

lllourlsh in this Province as it fshould. I - MANUFACTURING AND INDUSTRY The following report was sub-

mitted by Mr. K. S. Rogers, chair- man of the committee on Manu- facturing and Industry:

"Improved business conditions throughout Canada and the Uni- ted states have been strongly re- flected in every phase of activity in Prince Edward Island. While few new enterprises have been launched, most. well established concerns report excellent progress. over previous years.

"Great interest has been shown generally among various groups of our most progressive business men, in the possibility of launching new manufacturing businesses. Among possibilities considered, the most often discussed is the matter of calming vegetables and small fruits. The packaging of potatoes, with a view to capturing the select table market and a tropical market which is felt to exist in the West Indies and South America. has also re- ceived a great deal of careful J1- vestlgatlon which may shortly re- sult 1n the establishment of new industry in this Province.

"We are pleased to be able to re- port that the demand for Canned chicken, pgopond in Prince m-

and I

Reports

ward Island. has shown a steady increase. We are still more pleas- ed to report that, whereas, in 1938, Island poultry producers were un- able to supply the demand for canning pllrpOses and several car- ioads of Weslem Zrown pﬁultry had to be imported. the year just passed saw an increased out-put of canned chicken from Island can. neries of approximately 12% over 193B, which was a banner year, with practically 100% home grown Poultry. The Royal Packing Oom- pony. for instance, report an in- crease of 50,000 lbs. over 1938, pro- viously the banner year, for them, with only one car-load of lmrport- ed poultry as against three oo-r-

{I118

thousand can: less than in i938 due largely to ﬁle stormy weather season, resulting in the loss of gear. A study imzcaso in de- ported for certain brands of canned shell-fish. These items adl Nadily in the markets of Ontario and Quebec but it is only profitable to ship to these markets 1n carload lot-s. In many cases less than car-load lots are ordered, often necessitating ex- press shipment. The relatively high express rates from Charlotte- town render this sort o1 business impossible from the economic Blﬂ-hdllolnt. Efforts should be made to secure more advantageous ex- press rates 1n the interest of our manufacturers of food products. ‘The progress of electrification in Prince Edward Island ha. been steady. Rural lines have been ex- tended in 1937, to Mount Stewart, in 1938 to Hunter River and New Glasgow. in 1939 to Dalvey and the North Shore as well as to Murray Harbor and Murray River. The Maritime Electric Company report the sale of 6,345,605 kilowatt hours in 1939 as against 5.719.195 kilowatt hours in 1938. an increase of 11% r where the previous year showed only an 8% increase over 1937. Increased out-put facilities with modern equipment has made it possible to supply electric power for manuﬂacturing purposes at . -mucli better rat/gs than in the past. l With increased demand, rates for l power pin-poses can be still moie- greatly reduced. Contrary to pre- I veiling opinion, there is every rea- . son t0 believe that, with our proxi- mity to the low cost fuel fields of Nova Sootia, electric power for , manufacturing purposes can be r produced at a. cost comparable w l hydro-electric power. In i-efrigera- l tion. so important in canning of l meats and other food-stuffs, elec- tric power has proven of great service already in this Province.

Decrease in Turnip Shipments

"While there has been a decline of approximately 121 cars of tur- nips shipped from the Island this year over i938, it is noteworthy that at least one concern which has paid attention to the careful waxing of their shipments, have enjoyed an increase of approxi- mately 20% over their previous year. The waxing plant in ques- tion OmDIOys approximately forty men during the waxing period and thuscontributes materially to the increase of wage rolls in Charlotte- town. y “Tiler-e is no question in the minds of your Committee but that Prince Edward Island is showing progress along industrial lines in relation to the processing of our primary products. Unfortunately. this progress is too slow to take full advantage of the opportunities offered in world markets. Most local enterprises are under financ-

loads the previous yea-r. New can- ning enterprises actually started include one in Murray River which will be in full operation for 1940 and will specialize in canned chic- ken. At Mount Stewart, the can- ning of blue-berries and the grad- ing and packaging of cranberries has added to the industrial activ- ity of our Province in a manner which is obviously capable of con- siderable expansion. With the progression of the Adult Education lmovement, classes in the proces- iing of fish at St_ Dunstanb Unl- lversity short courses, resulted in a remarkable improvement in prices received by the fisherman for fresh fillets. This also. is 08-p- able of great development w the advantage of our primary produc- ers. BusIncSs Increase "In heavier lines of manufacture the old established firm of Bruce

ed, with comparatively small out- l put and without the esentla-l money for the carrying on of ad- vertising and salesmanship in for- eign markets. It is felt that for the l present, with the possibility of a_ considerable proportion of war or- ders being obtainable, the PrO- vince should have a capable and well informed Commercial T99R95- entative in Montreal or Toronto. covering Ottawa as well and seek- lng to sell all lines of Prince Ed- ward Islémd produce, both raw and

processe .

"In view of the fact that the other eight Provinces will all benefit more or less in war 11111‘- choses other than food stuffs. while we can guplply little else, it is 1m- perative that every effort be made to sgguyg all possible orders for material which can be produced by our farmers and fishermen.

Equitable Freight Rates Sought

stewart 6r Co, Limited, report an excellent year, with collections somewhat slow: a. steady demand for marine engines and a. consid- erable repair trade in road mak- ing equipment.
