1-1-JDERATION MEETINGS
The Federation has staked out I claim on Monday eyenlns. April we lath for the holding of meet- ing; in each School District of the province. The chairman and set.-retary in each district were notified 50139 '1'” 339 ml" 5 wppiy or material would be sent "cl, sgcretary. this material is new in the mall and the Secre- my will receive two posters for auvu-aging the meeting, applica- tion forms for both membership anu insurance and the necessary instruction for the holding of the meeting and information on the insurance DIOKFBWI, :

While more may I19 "10"? 03' i-iiement at a provincial meeting in Charlottetown or at a county meeting. nevertheless the small meeting at the school district level has a very important part Ii) plays this is where the in- dividual farmer can display his interest and take effective steps in placing a -really firm founda- tion under his Federation. This is int-reasingly important as the Fed- FliIlIOI'I becomes recognized as the iiilluential voice of agriculture in national and provincial policy making.
'l'he success of the meeting in each school district depends al- most entirely on whether or not the farmer attends. there are ii-ry few who cannot arrange to be away from home for one even- ini: at this time of the year. We iiiiiild. therefore. suggest that all farmers plan to be present and to encourage their neighbours to attend as well.
'l'HAR IS GOLD
The fortunate farmers who are in possession of potatoes and tur- nips to offer for sale have good reason for feeling that there was gold in last year's potato hills. While a variety of prices are being quoted. in general the price appears to range from 34.00 to 34.50 per 75 pound bag. In a few cases the farmer who was lucky enough to be in a position to load a car last Monday is reported to have received as high as 55.00. :3.000 for s carload of potatoes which could come off two acres is. we would feel. a completely satisfactory return.
it is believed that approximate- ly 1.000 carloads of potatoes yet
prices remain atl present levels this balance of the crop represents close to three million dollars. a very worth-while sum for this small province.
The turnip grower who usually does not operate on as large a scale as the potato man also has strong sunlight,shining on him these days. we hear prices as high as 31.30 per bushel quoted. admittedly the quantity of turnips left is not large and at this time of the year the cullage is high. A few hundred bushels of turnips can realize a tidy sum and it would be a very persuasive cow that would rate a meal of mar- ketable turnips at this time.
T0 SEED OR NOT TO SEED
Should the present price of pota- toes continue through to the plant- ing season we can see where many farmers are 'going to be facing a real tdilemma. At present prices and present rate of planting it would be possible to use 5100 worth of seed in an acre. This is a fairly heavy gamble and a farmer will be faced with decid- ing whether it is better to take the certain 3100 or to gamble it on winning sometime through the coming year. if planting dear seed means harvesting cheap potatoes then prices are really going to be low next year.
INCOME. TAX
Without any thought of raising an unpleasant note we remind farmers and their wives that in- come tax returns are to be com- pleted and filed by April 30th. Greater accuracy and greater sat- isfaction will be. in evidence if this pleasant task is not left until the evening of Friday. the 29th.
DAIRY PROMOTION
Visiting the province today is Mr. 0. J. W. Shugs. Director of Public Relations for the Dairy Farmers of Canada. It is Mr. Shugg's iesponsibility to admin- ister the national advertising pro- gram as conducted by the Nation- al Dairy organization. Mr. Shugg's visit at this time coincides with the making of arrangements for the June check-off of one cent per pound on butterfat. Prince Edward Island's record last year in this connection was an out- standing one and Mr. Shugg will be meeting an interested and co- operative group of representatives comprising delegates from the various factories and Director
of the Dairy Association. '

hay can be a very expensive under-taking. For this reason early grazing is valuable and even a small plot of ground to which chemical fertilizer has been applied as early in April as pos- sible will yield feed early enough to effect a substantial saving in purchased feed. '
RECORD MEAT CONSUMPTION
Last year Canadians consumed the largest amount of meat per capita than at any previous time in history. The average Canad- ian's meat consumption in 1954 amounted to 146.4 pounds. or 4.1 pounds more than the previous year. The per capita consump- tion of total meats last year was almost one-quarter greater than the prewar 1935-39 average of 118.1 pounds. In 1954 llie aver- age Canada ate 72 pounds of beef. 53.7 pounds of pork, 10.1 pounds of veal. 2.5 pounds of mutton and lamb. 5.3 pounds of offal and 2.8 pounds of canned meats. Pork and canned meats were the
