Have 2,000 Chickens In
Search For Best For Farm
Upwards of two thousand baby chicks, representing 17 «crosses, six of them three-way -crosses never hatched before in this pro- vince, are in the brooder house of Ivan Dawson’s poultry esta- blishment at Central Bedeque" for a random-sample test that has the blessing of the Provincial and Federal Departments of agri- culture. The test is designed to find the most practical bird to_ place in farm laying flocks inthe province. ’
An example of the three-way cross is a chick whose dam is a White Leghorn-Rhode Island Red Cross which in turn is crossed with a White Leghorn male from a different strain. ~
125 pullet chicks from each
of the 17 crosses have been"p'ut ‘
into the broader house for the
TIGN-ISH HIGH
test. They were hatched a few days ago. -
The objective is to produce a light type of laying hen, "becom- ing popular in North America, that will have the ability to pro- duce the maximum quantity of eggs from the smallest amount of feed, C. S. Scranton, Federal Poultry representative, said last night. Mr. Scranton is giving a great deal of time to the super- visory work connected with the tests.
These pullets will be ready to place in laying cages by the lat- ter part of June when another random~sample test, now under- way, will have been completed.

STUDENT COUNCIL ’
A film “Little Boy Lost” spon sored by the Student Council was shown to the pupils in the audi- torium on January 15.
High School socials were held twice in the last half of January ‘at which the seniors and other invited guests enjoyed themsel- ves immensely. We owe great thanks to our two musicians Leon- ard Gallant and Carl Perry, both of Grade XII. We also must thank our chaperones of the past two socials, Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell Mclnnis, Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Shea, Mr. Terrence Gavin, Mr. Henry Arsenault, and Mrs. Ed- gar Peters for making these jol- ly entertainments possible.
It has been decided by the Student Council that a yearbook be published this year. The staff is presently being appointed and plans are getting underway. PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Wednesday and Thursday after- noons are really awaited in great anticipation in our High School. For then boys and girls try their
. skill at basketball. All are doing
wonderful work at this game but, as usual, Grade IX boys are II- head.
'The latest dance being taught to the Senior pupils by our in- structor, Gerald Keough is “The Girl I Left Behind Me”. We like it very much. .
Hockey this year is really go- ing ahead even if we do have to go to Alberton to practice and to play. One of our Grade XII boys Elmer Perry, plays with the Tig- nish Aces.
The Junior High School boys now have a good team of their own “Tignish Bantams" and the Tignish Pee-Wees from the inter- mediate grades would perhaps be island champions some day if they could get more practice. The Bantams in their first 7 games lost~three, tied two, and won two. The Pee-Wees in four games lost tow, tied one, and won one. All games were played against Al- berton, Elmsdale, or 0’Leary teams.
MEETINGS
Besides Student Council meet- ings, the Sodality, the Junior Red Cross, and the 4-H Clubs meet regularly. These latter ones are most interesting and profitable to the girls of Grades V to IX who are doing very well at their sew- Ing.
We really have made a success this year with our March of Dimes cards, which have been com- pleted and sent to headquarters.
Is At Alberton
The pupils are to be commended on their generous donations for the polio victims, especially Gr. VI who had the highest donation in the school— a total of $8.20. DEBATE .
The High School pupils recen- tly enjoyed a well prepared de- bate which was presented by Gr. XI pupils-"Resolved, that youth should stay on the farm”. On the affirmative side were Eva Calla- ghan, John Gavin and Freda Ber- nard, while Janette McCarthy, Lorranie Gallant and Audrey Ric- hard upheld the negative side. The affirmatives won, therefore we expect to see many more far- mers and farmerettes in the near future.

straight crosses. Poultrymen par- ticipating in both tests are Mr. Dawson and W.J. MacDonald and Son of Covehead. Each con- tributed a number of pullets to the test. The provincial; depart- ment ofagriculture assisted fin- ancially. ,
Crosses tested include Rhode Island Red, X Barred Plymouth Rock, White Leghorn x Rhode Is- Rock, White Leghorn x Phode Is- land Red, Light Sussex x Barred Rock, Light Sussex x New Ham- pshire, Rhode Island Red x Light Sussex, Barred Rock x New Ham- pshire,’ Barred Rock x Rhode Is- land Red.
Not only are these crosses be- ing tested but there are also var- iations of the cross tests being carried out. . For example the MacDonald strain of Barred Rock x pullets are crossed with Rhode Island Reds, New Hampshires and Sin- gle Comb White Leghorn cooker- els. The same crosses are used on the Dawson Rocks. Several other crosses are also included in this test which ends in June. ' The birds are housed in com- munity type laying ‘cages and this is the first test of its kind conduted in Canada on wire-bot- torn pens. Similar laying cages have been used in Newfoundland for several years with success. Mr. Scranton explained Mr. Scran- ton designed the cages in use in this test, also the community nests that are used.
MOST IN SPACE
The use‘ of the wire-bottom cages makes it possible to ac- commodate a large number of birds in a comparatively small space. The laying cages are eight feet by sixteen feet and in this 128 square feet of area 110 birds are housed during the test.
The test brings together the

quality, feed conversion and over-
all profit. NOTE TREND -
It is interesting to note the trend toward cross bred chicks in recent years. Indeed it has become ;so strong that only the breeder hatcheries in the province sell pure bred chicks at the pre- sent time. The commercial hat- cheries here sell chicks from var- ious crosses of pure bred cocke- rels and pure bred pullets.
As noted already, one of the many qualities mentioned in the test is livability. It has been learned from Ottawa, for ex- ample, that the Canadian Ran- dom Sample test which has birds from all parts of Canada, has shown birds from Prince Edward Island to be outstanding in so far as livability is concerned.

TOKYO (AP) — «Ja-pan’s dog lovers launched a move Tuesday to build a monument to 15 Husky dogs strandedat a deserted Jap- anese scientific base in Antarct- ica. The dogs were left behind after heavy pack ice prevented the Japanese icebreaker Soya and the U.S. icebreaker Burton Is- land from reaching the base. A scientific team, a female dog and her eight pups were flown out.
