Years ago the Malpeque oyster was the aristocrat of its kind and was very much in demand but for various reaâ€" sons the supply gave out and it was thought the famous oyster had disâ€" appeared like the great auk and the passenger pigcon.

Howâ€" ever, along comes the entrancing story from the Department of Fisheries about farming under the waters of the sea that breaks mpon the shores of Prince Edward Island. _ We are told that the people there have increased their production of oysters by ten times since 1982, which is a marvelâ€" lour increase in any line of business. The department calls the industry "ayster farming." The seed is planted and crops are being harvested in ten regions. Surveys were made and the‘ grounds leased.

Trade relations have been tainted by the potatoâ€"orange controversy ever since, and ali efforts from this side to arrive at a settlement of the disâ€" pute have been so much waste of time. The real issue is political, and so no solution appears possible until the citrus growers of Australia gain sufficient political influence to outâ€" weigh the potato growers. Of course, the citrus growers have on their side the majority of the manufacturers and others who are interested in exâ€" panding trade with New Zealand, and it is possible that the more favourâ€" able disposition towards New Zeaâ€" land now appearing in Australia may turn the scale.â€"Auckland Star. I In a recent debate on defence Mr. Lloyd George reminded the country that through food shortage Britain was brought closer to defeat in the Great War than through vulnerâ€" ability of the kingdom owing to parâ€" tial disarmament and foreign strength in the air, he urged that the food question was just as important in defensive plans as expansion of armaments. A realization of this inâ€" creased vulnerability probably lies behind the Stateâ€"aided enterprise for the production of petrol from â€" coal and schemes now afoot to carry out deep boring for oil. The second aspect of the question is the Imperial one. Not only must the seaways be guardâ€" ed for the freighters that must transport Britain‘s food, but there must also be close coâ€"operation with the Dominions, the only sure source of supplies in a time of crisis.
