     The P.E. Island Agriculturist was a politically nonpartisan 
     
     newspaper aimed at P.E.I. farmers. Beginning publication on 
     
     May 31, 1883, it was originally devoted exclusively to articles 
     
     on agriculture and housekeeping, but local, national and inter— 
     
     national news was also featured in the 18905. The proportion 
     
     of news gradually increased until the paper's demise, although 
     
     the essentially agricultural nature of the paper never changed. 
     
     During the 19205, the paper was variously the official organ of 
     
     the Co-operative Associations of Prince Edward Island, the P.E. 
     
     Island Egg and Poultry Association and the P.E. Island Potato 
     
     Growers Association. The Agriculturist was the sister paper of 
     
     the Summerside Journal. It ceased publication on Jan. 29, 1949.
