Balanced Farming Theme
Field Day
. Balanced farming was introduced in a practical way yesterday to the Veterans' Land Act officers of the Province in a session that be- gan at nine and lasted until neu- ly midnight. It began with the productive capacity of the soil on the farm of Pope Thorpe, West Royalty. and ended with the esti- mated net income likely to be de. rived from the 1951 farm program. Chairman of the programme throughout was F. F. Kennedy, V. L-A- TE-sional counsellor. Guests included. besides Mr. and Mrs. Thome. the Hon. C. C. Baker. Minister of Agriculture; his Field Promoter. S. C. Wright; G. B. Whiteside, Dominion Dept. of Ag- riculture soil specialist, and W. N. Black. supervisor of Illustration Stations.
Senior V. L. A. official present was H. R. Hare. Ottawa, superin. tendent of farm development for Canada and widely-known farm economist. Mr. Hare planned the this Programme and led the even- ing discussion on the economic as- pects of the plans suggested.
' L. Session
The morning session. spent oh. serving and assessing the physical resources of the farm, was damp. ened somewhat by showers. but the 15 agriculturists inspected ev- ery fleld, looked at soil horizons and viewed the buildings, equip- ment and livestock.
After lunch they returned to the V. L. A. regional office and. after listening to a resume of the farm resources. divided into two groups, each group being instruct- ed to bring in a programme for 1951.
Only speaker at the luncheon was Mr. Baker, who said that any effort to aid farmers is all to the good, and promised the V.L.A. Ad- ministration the full cooperation of his department. He also invited the farmer-veterans to participate in the agricultural short courses run by the Department of Education in cooperation with the Depart- ment of Agriculture.
- Neither of the two groups had completed their plan when the - time came to reassemble for the final resume and analysis. Mr. Hare pointed out that. considering

ed sound, although different.
"Even if we had five groups," he said. "we would have five different proposed plans, each quite satis- factory."
Analyzes Results
Analyzing the results of the day's work, Mr. Hare pointed out that the whole objective of the V. L.A. balanced farming program is to make the farmer and his fam- ily comfortable. It can be done, he said. by efficient farm practices and management and a sufficiently large volume of business. Before the meeting ended. such a hypo- thetical plan had been prepared for the Theme farm.
Other speakers during the even- ing included E. W. Campbell, re- gional supervisor. who expressed the appreciation of all concerned . to Mr. and Mrs. Thorne for their excellent cooperation in permitting their farm to be used as a guinea

- Mr. Wright remarked that he was pleased to see that the V.L.A. programme was aimed at building soil fertility and controlling eros- ion. He approved. too. the idea of ' a completely planned farm pro- gramme, from the back fence to the farmer's kitchen, as Mr. Hare put it. and said that too many farmers have followed a hit-and- miss formula too long.
Answering a remark that it is easy to make money on paper. Mr. Hare ' replied:
"Economic studies of farm in- come have invariably shown that the net returns from farming sel- dom exceed the vision contained in the plan prepared months earl- ier." ...M:..M.A---:--

session I brought this matter up on the floor of the House. At these times, both yourself and Hon. Mr. Mayhew, Minister of Fisheries, ex- plained that site of the proposed bombing and gunnery range had not yet been decided-a reply which I aappreciated perfectly at the time.
"However. on June 29. during the passage of the estimates of the Department of Fisheries. Mr. J. Watson MacNaught, parliamentary assistant to Mr. Mayhew. said at page 4365 of House of Commons debates: 'Many negotiations have taken place and many meetings have been held with the nshermen of the area affected. I am sure a site can be agreed upon which the majority of the fisherman will say is tisfactory.' .
"I would call your attention par- ticularly to the expression area ei'fected'. It is true that Mr. Mac- Naught qualined his remarks by saying that a site had been 'tent- atively' chosen. but clear interpre- tation of his words is that the choice has already been made.

Yesterday Scouts from three counties descended on Camp Bu- chan for a. 10-day Provincial Camp under Camp Chief Fred A. Drie-
coll. Frequent and heavy showers also descended on the camp but failed to dampen the spirits of the Scouts and their leaders. Thirty-seven boys had arrived by early afternoon and the number was expected to increase to 43 with the arrival of a contingent from the 7th Charlottetown Troop.
Assisting the Camp Chief are &. A. P. Ceretti, Executive Com- missioner Gordon Kerr, Mr. Harry Pineau, Mr. Frank Costello and Mr. Frank Zakem.

Milion Junior Farmers Have Successful Tour
Undaiinted by heavy rain the Milton Junior Farmers group armed with banners and sign covered cars participated in a very successful tour of several farms yesterday. '
The group saw six different breeds of cattle on their visits to the following farms: Lewis Bros.. York. I-Iolsteins; Guy Rodd, Brack- ley. Guernseys; Sanderson Bros. North River. Herefords; Fred Coles, Loyalist. Jerseys; R. R. Bell, New Glasgow, Shorthorns; and Earl MacRae. Brookfield. Ayrshires.
The group had their lunch at Cavendish after which they en- joyed a short recreational period. Mr. W. N. Black, supervisor of Illustration Stations. P. E. I.. EBVG an interesting and instructive talk on the value and care of farm woodlots.
Afterwards the group visited the farm and wood lot of Mr. John L. Clark. M.B.E., Rustico where selective cutting has been practised for several years. Much fine standing timber was noted proving that the woodlot should be given as much care as any part of the farm.
Tours of other sections of the Island for other groups are pian- ned for today, Wednesday and Friday.
Inquiry Opens Into Loan Act Operations
Appointed as Commissioner, by Order-in-Council under the In- quiries Act. to inquire into the op- erations of the Fisherman's Loan Act. Jvudge J. S. DesR;0ches will open the Commission hearings this morning at the supreme Court
room at 1 a. in.
Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell. K.C.. Deputy Attorney General, has been appointed counsel for the Commission and Mrs. J. J. Con- nolly will act as Commissioners secretary.
It is expected that three witness- es will be called at the opening session, the first of these being Hon. B. W. LePage, first chairman of the Fisherman's Loan Board. Other witnesses are Mr. Marin Gallant. who was chairman for a period while he was member with- out portfolio in the Provincial Government. and Mrs. Kathleen Higsori. clerk-stenographer for the Board.
On the agenda this morning will be the reading of the commission- er's findings and the taking of evidence regarding the setup of the original Board. Commissioner DesR.oches will also announce the initial part of his itinerary.
ing on the Atlantic coast-line is not only arduous but complex? The fishermen must plan ahead, observe the seasons as laid down by the Fisheries Departmennse-lect his gear depending on the species of fish or crustaceans he is seek- ing. choose his crew and obtain his supplies in accordance with the duration of his trips to sea and with the different fishing-grounds visited.
"Any sudden enforced change of fishing-grounds would result in a very real hardship to the fisher- men on the north coast of Prince Edward Island and a substantial lowering of their annual incomes.
"It is on this account and on ac- count of the large volume of cor- respondence I have received from Prince Edward Island on the sub- jeci that I am respectfully re- questing you to make public at the earliest possible date the decision of your Department regarding this proposed bombing and gunnery range. I am aware that a member of the Government might not care to make an announcement of this kind through a member of the Op- position. 1 appeal to you, however. to announce the decision regarding this range in ample time through such channels as you may see'iit. in the interests of the Prince Ed- ward Island nshermen who are gravely concerned over the situ- ation.

Type Cattle. Barn At Experimental Farm
Works llaily in Blacksmith Shop At Eighty-llinc
At 89 years of age. Mr. John T. Gill of Eliiotvale, King's County. P.E.I., still does his eight hours work a day in his blacksmith shop.
With an enviable reputation as blacksmith, wheelwright and car- riage-maker. Mr. Gill claims that he is in line health. but odds, with a glint in his eye, that he "can't work as fast, or jump as high" as he once did. He made a record years ago for shoeing horses when he did 19 horses in one day, and still had a little daylight left for a couple more.
Mr. Gill has been married twice and is the father of twenty child- ren. His first wife was Margaret Bennett of Brackley Point, and his present wife is the former Mary Murray of Traca.d.ie. Of the four- teen of the family of twenty who are lzving. five are in this Pro- vince. They are Edmund and John at home. both of whom work with their father, and William, Francis and Raymond who are on farms near Peake's Station. Those resid- ing outside the Province are Mrs. John L. Sullivan. Mrs. Joseph Lawlor, Mrs. William Paquet. Mrs. Harry Mitchell. Mrs. Stanley Jones. Mrs. Conrad Benoit. Mrs. Pius Redmond and Mrs. Ivan MacE.ach- em. all of Boston. Another daugh- in
ter, Miss Teresa Gill, livu Moncton. Rev. Templeton At Montague ..'one dares to believe that
Montague made history Sunday afternoon, made history in gath- ering under one roof for a religious service such a. congregation as
assembled in Yeo's. Theatre, to say nothing of those, who standing by open doors and windows, sought to catch the spirit of the inside.
The Evangelist had the advant- age of a fame that came head of him. and the asset of a congreg- ation that came with expectancy. And they were not disappointed. The preacher has the a.dvant.lI89 of a personal charm that predis- poses one to be interested in him until he feels the deep and urgent. sincerity that makes the man a good salesman for the Kingdom of God.
One felt. while listening to his word pictures. that the Cartoonist. who heard the call to become a preacher did not throw away the
gifts that equipped him for his former profession. so often the Cartoonist is one of our most
effective teachers of lifes values This one is still a Cartoonist. only now he gives in words. and leaves to one's irnaginatioiri to see the picture. The result is the same.
Who can forget those pictures that describe the descent of the Man, that tried to dismiss the law of God as a rule of life, until he turned the asset. in which he boasted, into a liability that de- stroyed him? Who can forget the story of King David's traitor son Absalom in the poignancy of the fathers grief as he said: would that I had died for thee!

Construction is underwaysod a new type cattle barn. at the Do- minion Experimental Farm at Upton that will pr vide accommo- dation for twent ve or thirty cows and literally allows the an.- imais to eat their way into the building.
Tex-med a "Loanng Earn”, the building is the first of its kind to
built in the Province and should be completed in about two weeks. One of the features is that all animals are kept loose and. such things as stalls and stanch- ions are unknown.
Two-thirds of the building will be filled with hay and straw ex- tending the length of the barn and from the top of the roof to the floor. The cattle will be placed in the remaining space and through a self feeder will eat their way to- wards the back of the building.
First work in the construction of the 65x39 foot structure was the sinking of 24 long creosotcd poles at a distance of 13 feet apart. Pavement has been laid as the barn flooring and extended to a small space in front of the build-
ing.
The poles are being joined by bracing timbers which are spiked on and in many places overlap. Creosoted plank to a height of about three and one half feet has been spiked to the bottom of the building. The walls from the plank to the eaves will be boarded and sheathed. An aluminum roof will top off the barn.
The caves of the roof are 13 feet from the ground and the peak of the gable is about 25 feet high. There will be large doors in each and through which wagon loads of hay may be driven in and unload- ed. There are also two doors in the front of the barn through which the cattle will enter. The doors are left open most of the time ex- cept when the wind or snow blows directly upon the animals.
A yard surrounded by a high board fence will be prepared for the cattle. At one corner of the yard as silo is being built ' which will keep the animals in ensilage. An electrically heated water trough will enable the animals to have drinking water outside the year round.
Chopped hay will be placed in. one end of the barn and the or- dinary long hay in the other. A quantity of straw will be sand- wiched between the two varieties of hay. The chopped hay is being used as an experiment to see how much of it the animals will eat.
No manure will be removed from the -barn during the winter but will be allowed to build up under the cattle. Planking will be placed along the bottom of the walls in order to prevent rot.
A nve-foot concrete base for the silo has been laid and building work has started. This silo will be 21 feet high and 14 feet in dismet. er. It will provide, storage facili- ties for nearly 70 tons of chopped clover and grass. The silo will be ready for ensilage in several days.
