PASTURE IMPROVEMENT ..

Last Friday was the deadline for making entry in the provin- ces first Pasture Improvement Competition and a total of eighty- eight farmers got under the wire. In spite of a slow start Queens ended up with thirty-three en- tries, followed by Prince with twenty-nine and Kings with twenty-six. These numbers in- sure that there will be a good competition in each County, cer- tainly the provincial finals should bring forward something quite special in the way of win-

each County.

It is a rather interesting fact that the competition should coin- with a year that has pro duced an unusual amount of win- ter killing particularly in the old

for the same system is planned for eggs and already is in. effect with respect to milk for manufac- turing purposes. ABUNDANT BUTTER

For the week ending May 9 butter production in the province Was over a hundred thousand that figure has been reached so early in the season. For the first four months of the year butter production rose by 14 per cent in this province as compared with last year. No other province increased by as high a percen- tage. If pastures are average .this summer, production of but- ter could be a record this year.

In addition both cheese and ice-cream production rose sub- stantially in the province for the first four months of the year. URBAN OR RURAL

Undeniably Canada is chang- ing from an agricultural econ- omy to one in which industry is relatively more important. Agri- culture {aid the. foundation im’

commercial farming widened the agricultural demand for an ever increasing variety of manufac- tured goods.

tional changes and changes in attitude as well.

FEWER FARMERS

Back home on the land the re maining farmers must accept

Rural living changes too as the arming operation gets larger and provides the farm family with a mode of living more close-
