A('ADlA -. A WELL PROVEN SPRING WHEAT
ii is not often that a new var- letv of any crop meets the OPDFOVEI ai'virtuaily all growers, nor is it niicn that Agricultural Denim- meiits include only one variety of a crap on their recommended list. However, this is the current status pf Acadia Spring Wheat. . g
The original seed multiplication and distribution of Acadia on Prince Edward island was handled hv the Experimental Station at Charlottetown. where the Vlrtetv had ten previous years of out- standing performance in Yield trials to its credit. -
The first distribution was in the spring of 1953. in that year yields of this variety ranged from eigh- teen bushels per acre to fortY'fIV9 bushels per acre with an average yield for all growers of thirty-two bushels per acre. In each case where yields were low the grower found no (suit with the variety but rather with the field he had sel- i-cted. in addition, quality of grain, iisease resistance and resistance to lodging were highly acclaimed. There was a wide distribution of the available seed for the 1954 planting and in that year the variety again received praise for its excellent all-round perfor- mance. The demand for Acadia seed has been stronger than ever for the current crop. This in parti- cularriy encouraging because is- isnd millers are anxious to obtain as much of this variety as pos- sible. The operator of one of the largest mills has sug eaicd that the continuance of tho sland mill- Ing industry may well depend on the amount of Acadia which can be obtained for milling.
Considering these facts I is natural to suggest that those who have not yet tried Acadia wheat should do no at the oarlioat op- portunity.

In an area such as Prince Ed- ward lsland. where at its best the margin of profit on produce is small. probably the most important aspects of farm building are the factors affecting the investment value. These might be summed up as follows:
Type of Fanning Operation - The quality of farm structure will. depend upon the fncome- ro. ducing capacity of the farm. w lie the service requirements will de- termine the type nnd nu.
Productivity - Good production and good buildings are generally closely associated. There are many exceptions to this general conclusion however.
Climate - Building costs vary according to the climate conditions. and within a region costs may vary according to location as to shelter and drainage. etc.
Individual Preference - Pride of ownership may be a deciding factor in the investment in certain buildings. Farms that remain un- der the ownership of the same family group for several gener- ations tend to have a relatively high building investment. Changes in the farming system may re- quire new structures. or decrease the usefu' of existing build- ngs.

Over the long Memorial Day waak-end. my friends scattered to mountains. seashore and "31;-r:
corn,” what will you do with your- self for three days? There wont beasoulloftiatown." Butl stayed on In this deserted city-- I. and millions of New Yorkers. 200.000 visitors from points near and distant-.-and I had a wonderful tisnetso did the others I observed).
Within three short blocks from where I am staying in Washington Square and from it radiate the narrow colorful streets of Green- wich Village. As if for my special pleasure. the annual side-walk art- show was in progress. gayer. bl!- ger than ever before. It burst at the seams. overflowing into Fifth Avenue itself. Pictures were str
up like wash (fastened wit clothes pins. indeed); leaned against stools. bid crates. fences. walls, trees. any and every sup- port.
Perhaps the vanvasses were not. as a rule. too exciting. but the painters were always arresting. Some were young. and how I wished I could write a check and carry off a work of each of them! To follow Art in this Technical age. is surely a more precarious ad- venture than ever before!
The majority of the artists were middle-aged, however. and I could only hope they were not depend- cut on their paintings for a livli- hood! So many people looked; so few bought!
But one class nf artists did do a thriving business--those who sketched your likeness there and then. They. their sketches and their subjects were fun to watch. Talk about sitting stiff and self conscious to have your photog rayh taken long ago: One man scarcely dared hrcathc while the artist stretched and the crowd watched every line he drew (same situa- tion at the Exhibition Grounds in Charlottetown during Old Home Week.) The result was as wooden as that from the camera of the Old Photographer!
Incidentally, side-walk art shows have spread to many small towns. Why not a few in the Island? And art exhibitions of recognized painters are no longer confined to galleries. The other day I read it the New York Times that "such artists as Georgia O'Keefe will be featured in such unusual places in (Princeton. New Jersey) a barber- shop. a super-market. and a hard- ware store." That's really spread- infl the good work around!
When my feel-not my interest. dragged. I sat under a shady tree in Washington Square and noted with delight the entilcsslv differ- ent human beings around me. I
Gov'i' Sued For Millions
OTTAWA iCPi - The govern- ment is being sued for millions of dollars by property owners around Toronto's Malian a ir p o r t who claim federal zoning restrictions have reduced the resale value of their holdings.
About 80 damage actions have been filed in the Exchequer Court of Canada. Officials said they
"I have not yet tabulated the total
amount of damages requested. but they guessed it may run to more than 87,000,000.
They said that some applica- tions do not ask for any specific amount while others ask for as much as 5300.000 each.
The complaints arose from fed- eral zoning regulations which went into effect two years ago. restricting the height of buildings which can be erected in the air- port area. A transport official said the regulations were aimed at protecting aircraft taking off and landing at the airport.
Gougan showed some interesting films. it was moved and second- ed that the meeting be adjourned. The semi-monthly meeting of Greenfield Poultry Club was at Greenfield School on Monday. May 25, 1955. It was moved by Kenneth Sullivan and seconded by Carl Ennis that the roll call for next meeting be answered by ”What you would like to be." The meeting was then adjourned.

The unpleasant task of King's Whipping boy fell to Barnaby Fitz- patrick of the Court of Henry VIII in 16th century England.
Barnaby was brought up with the young prince who later became Edward VI. Each time the future king misbehaved. Barnaby was soundly thrashed. This uncom- fortable occupation was thought necessary because the "Prince as the Lord's nnninted was consider- ed sacred." The. theory was that Edwards conduct would improve in order to spare his royal play- mate a beating.
Barnaby survived the ordeals and later in life was created a baron by Queen Elizabeth lat.

A farmer friend of mine once saw a young duck get its first suit of down. He picked up the egg just as the bird inside was trying to get out. Suddenly the shell fell apart. and lo and behold the duckling was in his hand. "It appeared to be covered with coarse "black hairs," said my informant. ”which in a moment began to burst open, one by one. and out of each blossomed a soft fluff of down." Thus while my farmer friend stood by the side of a brook on his farm. the little wild duck was all decked out in its pretty dress.
There is only one male bird that never comes to the neat, either to watch the eggs or to assist in feeding the young. That is our humming bird. the ruby throat. Why? Because his shining ruby would reveal the hiding place of the nest.

Sadly missed and dways to-
Mr. and Mrs. Louis
from Flying Officer Archie J. Johnatnne. of lurungtoa. P.E.L now travelling in the United King- dom on a Nuffieid agricultural scholarship: continued from a previous issue.) The laster week-and is over and the holiday crowds. which have been .fiiilug the roads have. for the most part, returned to their homes. A court reveals that on the route between Scar- borough and York over a thou- sand cars per hour passed a cer- tain point. Considering the narrow twisting highways. it can be eas- ily understood that there was terrific congestion and why traf- fir slowed to a belt at some points. The Automobile Association esti- mates that there were at least 40,000 can an hour returning to London yesterday. Train travel was very near as heavy and extra buses were added to carry the trippcrs to and from the resorts. Considering the numbers of cars being sold in Britain. which are greater this year than ever. it may be readily seen that the road system is in for drastic changes. Communication will be improved greatly in the future, but some- thing of the charm of rural Bri- tain may be lost in the process. it is to be hoped that large num- bers of the narrow, winding lanes will be retained for the tourist and the lover of the countryside. it is however undeniable that the main arteries (or trade and com- merca convert rapidly to the more modern trend of super high- ways for speed and safety. Another change that is taking place in Britain has been the intro- duction of myxomatosis, which is slowly progressing across the countryside and reaping a sad loll among the once too populous rabbits and hares. The dead car- cnses of those already succumbed to the disease may be seen every- where aiong the roads. For some unknown reason the animals take to the highways, where they are being killed by the hundreds by passing motorists or humane ped- estrians. who carry sticks for the purpose. I think that secretly the farmers are rather pleased to have these rodents reduced in numbers, but officially there seems to be some concern about the final outcome. From Austra- lia comes the word that despite the reduction in rabbit population there during the past few years due to myxomatosis, there now appears to be a strain, which is more or less immune to the dis- ease. Perhaps this animal is not due for final extinction just yet.
WI-IITBY REVISITEI)
I had another view of Wiutby yesterday. This time from Haws- ker, where n point-to-point meet was being held. As we arrived early for the races 1 took a walk through the green. stone-wnllctl fielda to the cliffs which line the coast facing the North Sea at a point between attractive Robin Hood's Bay and the rugged out-
foot of the giant cliffs was any- thing but attractive at this point however, and not being able to find my way down to the rocks which line this part of the coast I turned toward Whitby. Arriv- ing at the top of a small green bill I had a splendid view of the city with the remains of the Whitby Abbey in the foreground.
At this pont I met two people from a neighboring farm. who had lived for many years Within sight of these venerable ruins They could tell me nothing of its history except that Lady St. Hilda ii-ii been its um Abbess. Of the story that Cawdman was supposed to have composed the first English verse here. they seemed to know nothing. One vol- unteered heipfully that she thought it had been built almost three hundred years ago. That it was founded in the yanr 660 by Oswi. King of Nothumbrln. would think have lntsrastad bar. as sha seemed genuinely interested. but living so close by had never troubled to inquire. It might be of general interest to know that the Vikings destroyed the first Abbey in H1, only to be later rebuilt by the Benedictine Monks. The final indignity was commit- ted by tbs Germans. who shat- tered It by a Naval bombard- meat in World War I.
FIELD SPOIITI
There would be no point-to point racing if foxbunting were stopped. we are reminded by the British Field Sports Society. The point-to-point held on Easter Mon- day at Hnwskcr near Whitby was my second experience with this type of racing for we had taken in the point-to-point at Dalton lfolme. Dalton Park, on Saturday. I was a little wiser yesterday. not even having had beginner's luck on Saturday. I left the betting to the more experienced horse- man, being contented with a few side pools among ourselves. Fif- teen thousand people turned up at Dalton Park and a much great- er number yesterday up North Apart from the actual sport in- volved in these races. the really important thing is to raise money for the continuance of the Hunt money which maintains the bounds and the horses used in this sport. which seem to be national in character. Contrary to what I al- ready believed many of the htracs and hounds are not maln- tainad by the members of the hunt but by the racing and by public subscription. Also contrary to my earlier opinion. anyone can take part in the hunt. even the in hourers. providing they abide by the regulations as laid down. The jumps of course are the moat exciting part of the course. which is usually about three miles in length The horses with their riders at various points around the track are lost to sight and at times hlwociilns are valuable. Usually it talies twice around the track In cover the required dis- tance. Often there are some empty saddles before the race is over and several usually drop out before the completion of the course.

YORKSHIRE MOORS
On the way home from lite races. partially to avoid heavy; traffic and partially with the view: of seeing new places, we turn- ed into the Moors. where there; are huge areas of wasteland un- dergoing reforcslation. Thousand i of fir and pine have been neatly planted in straight lines over the hillsides and in the more advanc- ed pluntations there is ample evi- dcnce of the success of the scheme. in all the woodiots. pub i he and otherwise, fallen trees, are carefully stripped of ifleli" limbs and boughs, the latter be- ing carefully disposed of and thel former turned to good account in industry as firewood. .

most of them kept trimmed. Sheep do quite a lot of the grass trim-
busy throughout the country. it is little wonder tiial the rural scene overflows with city peo- ple on holidays and is further crowded by out of the country visitors annually. Already for this time of year the influx of vis- itors from America is larger than ever before.
For those iiitcu-sled in lllliqlil-' villages I have already liit'llIllill- ed the little village of liution-lc- l-foie in the Yorkshire Moors. not far from Kirby Muorslde. which village is so bcautliuliy cut up by tiny streams. To this i would add the village of Ha:-kness a
little further to the East and reached from the North by n steeply windinc road. WIllCIl dc-
cends into the village below. At almost every turn the villnizc is visible immediately below. a- mid ils selling of ponds and trees. I think it is well worth a visit and it can be workr-(I Ill without leaving tiie main liigiiiiay very far. And for anyone interested in monuments, I believe that a drive over the Wolds to Slednicre would bc most rcviardiiig. Tiicre are two monuments in this area. one to the soldiers who fell in World War I and a much older one to one of the early landowners in the area.
FARMING IN THE WOLDS
Not least rew:-irding is thr- fnrming in the Wolds. in some areas the top soil is very thin and unsuitable for deep or intensive cultivation. bill on the iowcr ground there is quite a lot of land suitable for the growing of potatoes and a if g a r beet. All through the Wolds the chalk de- posits which underiie them can tic seen mixed with the soil. Pro- viding the percentage of chalk is not too high it is not harmful to the growing of grain and grass. In fact the quality is considered better than in the Vale to the North. but the yields are lighter.
Now changing the subject to something more constructive if not instructive. Concrete, stone
