Most Profitable

Continued from page 5

last year's crop was cleared away and when our early potatoes be- came available the last of July. they met with a very keen demand and this condition has since been maintained.

Growing conditions during last summer were exceptionally good in Prince Edward Island and we have had the best average yields in our history. It is gratifying, to realize that every farmer who grows potatoes has a fair volume to market and can take advantage of this year's profitable price lev- els. -

Potato acreage was increased from 29,600 acres in 1951 to 33.400 in 1962. A year ago we -shipped about 6,000 carloads and present indications are that we will mar- ket around 10.000 carloads during this shipping season. Abouthalf of those have already gone with every indication of a substantial move- ment continuing during the early part of next year.

In Favoured Position

Last year's acreage in Canada and the United states has produc- ed just about enough potatoes to properly supply our market needs at price levels which are profitable to the prdducer and fair to the consumer: Any further increase is liable to cause an over supply and unprofitable price levels. During the coming months the production trend in other potato growing areas should be' closely watched. we are in a favoured position because of the fact that when our planting season arrives we already know what the acreage has been in other areas and can govern ourselves ac- cordingly. -

F07 the in-dlntwo years our potato industry has been the major factor in our Isls,nd economy. The value of its production this year has been estimated A at almost s1s.oooooo.oo and thatikind of money is ce'rtain- ly whetw: need to raise our stand- ard of IN no. we must continue our efforts to control disease. to advertise. to produce a good pro- duct. eddabove all to strengthen 0111' melketing position so that we can take full advantage of our abil- ity to produce the best potatoes on the North Amlericsn continent.

SEOUL, Dec. 31 ..(Wednesday)- (AP)-The south Korean capital of Seoul blacked out for 40 minutes Tuesday night and Allied anti- aircraft guns on the western front roared into action when two uni-f

dentified planes flew over but dropped no bombs.

Radar screens picked out the slow-moving craft as they pene-

trated south of the battle line. ap- peared briefly over Seoul then dis- appeared to the northeast.

only last Thursday what the air force described as the "largest Mig jet force seen in months" smaptiar south to near the battle line. This force. whose numbers were not announced. reached to about 40 miles north of Seoul before it was driven off by Allied Sabre jets. Meantime a Communist propa- ganda broadcast beamed to Allied troops on the frigid central front Tuesday night declared the Reds would launch a "general offensive" Sunday. The broadcast was made by a woman.

An Allied corps spokesman told about the Red propaganda offens- ive but declined to speculate on the

threat. only a week or so ago the Reds boasted they would be in Seoul by Christmas.

The I55-mile fighting front was relatively quiet Tuesday.

Marine and air force fighter- bombers hit two Red supply depots behind the western front Tuesday but results wereconcealed by heavy cloud banks.

Let's Talk It Over

by "d"

We have had our first snow storm. and our Summerside streets have been transformed over night from a sale pavement high in friction to a slippery. treacherous surface of show. All this is inevit- able, and we can only be thankful that the treacherous conditions were postponed so long, even if we had to accept a "green Christ- mas" as part of the bargain.

, O O 0

Double parking on our Summer- side back streets in the winter months is not inevitable. however. and should be rigidly controlled by those in authority. The matter will probably be looked after in the near future. but there was evidence of double parking after this first storm, ui4.1ecessarily in- creasing the hazards of driving in the town.

Correcting examinations leaves. in addition to a headache or two, at least one -definite impression: Sixty per cent. or more of our pupils make a pretty sorry mess of putting down on paper the an- swers that are in their heads. Many of the simplest words are constantly misspelled, proper nouns are not capitalized, and the spoil- trophe ls, among a surprisingly large number, as extinct as the dodo. Many pupils do not even put down on paper what they ap- parently intended to put down. This may be due to a feeling of being rushed for time. but with proper drill very few of these er- rors would be in evidence even when the writers are in a hurry.

. - . We can't give you a cure-all remedy for this state of affairs. But if teachers in general will ad- mit the condition. a good honest. coordinated effort might be made to control it. Are we over-empha- sizing in the early grades a lot of other less important skills at the expense of a thorough grounding, both oral and written. in our mother tongue? Are we careless in the upper grades 50, that the writing habits once formed are being dropped? We believe that if correct forms are drilled thorough- ly through as many as three con- the habits formed from this drill, with a reasonable amount of refresher work. should stay with the pupils for life. e e e I

As the pupils advance from grade to grade. it becomes pro- gresslvely difficult to erase incor- rect form habits. and put correct ones in their places. The secret may be to establish the correct forms well fry the early grades, and call attention to them as much as time will allow in the later class- es of school life.

reach our markets by schooner. Then the schooners declined and the railroad triedato take their place. It is my opinion that trucks could restore all and more of the trade we formerly enjoyed by schooner: if the Federal Gov- ernment. whose responsibility it is, would provide adequate ferries across the Strait of Northumber- land. Also they might subsidize freight steamer traffic to New- foundland and the North Shore of the St. Lawrence. which also is their duty as defined in the Confederation agreement.

"We note with pleasure number of immigrants who coming to live with us. This new migration will supply us with citizens who will acquire farms and put into operation new ideas. They are most welcome and should be encouraged in every possible way.

"This is the tenth time I have. as Premier, wished you a Happy and Prosperous New Year and I feel that the possibility of achiev- ing happiness and prosperity is greater now than it was ten years ago. It may be that the Government had nothins 10 d0 with it. but there has been im- provement in transportationdn-oi enough of coursei, in provincial roads, in education. in fisheries and our progress in comparison with adjacent provinces has been equal. Let us hope you will all carry on just a little better and we'll try to provide a Government that will not hinder you and may light the way in some respects."

Country Chevlots. Crossing with this breed has proven successful. and a vigorous crop of lambs that show up well in rail grading has resulted. Practical experiments in crossing North Country Cheviols with the grades of "Down" breeds and an occasional infusion of "Leicester" is now under study-

Under the impetus of intelli- gently directed crossing and breeding practises greater interest has been noticeable in sheep nut- rition and care.

were marketed through the Can- adian Co-operailve Wool Growers' Association. Returns have been made to producers on the bulk of the wool at thirty-eight cents per pound. with higher Hades 81
