_ POTATO SITUATION.

.1

' Elsewhere in this issue we pub- fi ‘a comprehensive analysis of the potato situation in the State of Maine by the secretary of the Maine ‘TOWN Shippers and Growers, Inc, together with recommendations for the" better marketing of the pro- duct. It will be observed that em- phasis is placed upon two main factors: the control of production the quality of the tuber. It will also be noted that one of the

recommendations is to protect the - United States producer by a higher tariff on the Canadian product, and in this connection Prince Ed- ward Island is specifically men- ,tioned. u So far as our potato growers are, concerned, they now know the,‘ situation. The United States mar-i ket will in all probability be either closed to them or so nearly closed as to be oi little dependence. They must therefore seek ‘elsewhere for their market. Recent experience allows that Central Canada. has a large and as yet uncxploited mar- ket for Prince Edward Island po- tatoes, and for the purpose of reach- ing this market the analysts above referred to is as applicable to us m, Vb the United States growers in reaching theirs.

A survey has been made be- tween Hermitage and Peake's Sta- tion; another between Lake Verde and Mount Stewart is being undel- taken. Either oi these lines if‘ built would be aDllmXllllfll/ely tell‘ miles in length, and would doiibt- less serve a useful llllfl9°5¢ m!‘ ‘he people in the territory concerned. It would also serve as a temPOTBYY provision for the carrying On 0f the traffic with the southern side of the Province while the Bridge is bellll! reconstructed. So far as the Mur- ray Harbor-branch is concerned, the proposal would lengthen the mile- age for shippers and passengers, but this would nb doubt be overcome. presumably by specious promises. How the link between Charlotte- town and the new junction, where- ever it may be located, is to be negotiated has not yet. been re- vealed.

is reason to believe that the Cana- dian budget of i939 will provide for a two cent rate between Canada and the British Isles.

In Great Brltian, where rheuma- tism_ is so prevalent and causes, so much dlstressand loss of time from employment, mostintensive study oi the cause of rheumatism is being made. -

It is agreed that about 80 per- cent is due to infected teeth and tons ls, l5 percent to the intestine including gall bladder, and the other 5 percent frdln other points in the body. ‘

However after the infected teeth and tonsils are removed there are often further attacks of rheuma- tism. much to the distress of pat- ient and physician. ,

This simply means that although the factory that is manufacturing the pcison- has been destroyed, the product of the factory, the poisons. are still in the body, and set up ‘trouble in the joints afid in. the heart itself.

Islands are in the torrid zone. A federation will probably be formed, as in Canada sixty years ago, em- bracing the larger colonies. but not all the l7 different units.

How recent was the date when men began to fly will be noted by a coming celebration at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. It was there on 17th December, i903, that Wright Brothers made their first public and successful flight. Delegates to the International Aeronautic Confer- ence wi! assemble at Kitty Hawk to dedicate a monument alld other memorials of the great event and otherwise celebrate its 25th anni- versary. '

There were Republics thousands 0f years ago, but those of ancient date became Kingdoms or Em- hires lB-icr. The first half oi the nineteenth century _was fruitful of 119W republics, especially in South America. More. recently. during and since the Great War, monar- chles fell in Russia, Germany and Austria in Europe and ln fgr-ofl

lChina. Omitting Russia, which is

still in a'state oi political chaos, 100-000-000 °f Pwlile in Europe and 400,000,000 in Asia have passed from under monarchial rule and become republican. I
