the” production for the eiiii-T115 nonths was 4.687.000 pounds.

Big Cheese Increase

The same condition holds true of another highly necessary dairy product - cheese. For the first right months of this year produc- I;oii is 17 percent higher than in ll-at period of 1950. while the uionth of August alone saw pro- l':llC'1ion jump 31 percent over the rnmparable month last year.

In the first eight months there were 510.000 pounds of cheese pro- riuccd compared to -the 435.000 pounds of last year. The total pro- iluction for the 12 months of last year was estimated at 881,000 pounds.

Ice cream production also shows an increase of 20 percent for the period reviewed with 130,000 gal- lons compared to 108,000 gallons inst year.

Figures for milk production were unavailable excepting for the month of July when this year there were 26,908,000 pounds produced com- pared to the 24,002,000 pounds of July the previous year. The total production for i950 was 104.609.- 1940 pounds.

Livestock Production

The excellent pasturage available this year is credited with the bet- tcr production records being set as the number of cattle of all kinds is only slightly higher than at this time last year. Though no figures are immediately available it is be- lieved that the number of milk cows is- lower than last year while the quantity of young stock has risen.

The hog population of the Prov-

ince is greater by a small margin ,

than at this time last year. Live sales for export breeding purposes are higher and the demand re- mains firm. '

tial increase in poultry flocks this year with the opinion being based on the greatly increased number of chicks purchased from the hatcherles this season. Large num- hers of them are coming on the market much earlier this year than in past seasons and this too is taken as evidence of greater pro- duction.

There are more sheep in the Province than formerly with breed- ing now receiving considerable at- tention. It is also noted that the flocks are increasing at the same time as new ones are being es- tablished.

The importation of the N North Country Cheviot ewes has lent im- petus to the growth and better- ment of the flocks. They were brought here by the sheep Breed- ers Association and purchased by private breeders. The increase from these animals has been good and the quality of lambs produced has been of a high standard.

As the. North Country Cheviots increase they will be used exten- sively for cross-breeding with our native breeds. Where this practice has been tried the reported result has been the production of lambs of high commercial quality. At the present time rail-grade lambs are bringing some of the highest prices ever received. Department of Ag- riculture officisls feel that this cross-breeding plan will be vigor- ously explored in Prince Edward Island.

Potato Crop

The potato crop. for long the main dependence of Island farm- ers. is considerably reduced in acreage this year with the de- crease approximately 30 percent under last year. In 1950 growers planted 46,000 acres to potatoes with this figure including both seed and tablestock. This year the total is placed at 33,000 for both.

Although growing conditions were not of the best this season the yield is expected to be heavy with the poor fields estimated to producing approximately 150 bush- els per acre while the better ones are running as high as 300 bush-

els.

other root crops are about the same as in former years with tur- nip acreage estimated at 10 per- cent more than in 1950. Last year there were 12,500 acres planted with the resultant yield amounting to 0,000.lXl0 bushels. The manztl-5 are expected to be an average crop.

Prices Above Average

Generally speaking prices for all farm products. with the exception of potatoes, have been above av- erage and the farmer in Prince Ed- ward Island enjoys a relatively secure position. And this is not- withstanding the high production cost which is attributed in part to the scarcity of farm labor for which high wages must. be paid when help is available.

Kori. Mr. Baker feels that the various exhibitions held this year were an outstanding success as to the quantity and quality of the animals exhibited. He said this was particularly true of the cat- tle, hog and sheep showings. Horses and poultry exhibited were or good quality. but the number of exhibitors was not large.

Mr. Baker stated that the ver.i' outstanding event was the Rural Youth Fair held at the Exhibition Grounds on senlembef 13- ""9 a great deal of interest was shown by the club members who nllced 3 large number of animals and other exhibits in competition.

SHERWOOD CEMETERY - During the past three summer seasons great improvements have been made in this beautiful cem- etery. Much of the cemetery was ploughed up. levelled and seeded. This Iirge portion of the cemetery has been much admired. It was the hope of the Directors to have by this time treated the whole area in the same manner. but available funds for such improve- ments have been exhausted. A - though the capital fund of the cemetery has been increasing at I fair rate, expenses on account of higher cost of labour and of equipment exceeds the revenue. The directors state that it is the hope that many of those who have plots in the cemetery will make a liberal contribution not only to increase the Capital Fund. but help in the upkeep and improve- merit. of the cemetery.

rs MEN MEET - The regular Thursday meeting of the Char- lottetown Y's Men's Club was held last evening in the Y. M. C. A. banquet room with the pies- ident. Y's Man Ray Barrett in the chair.

K. Prcsby at the piano.

Better Education. For Drivers urged

The need of better teducaiion for car drivers in the under 25 age group was stressed at luncheo'n yesterday by Mr. W. H. Graham of the Public Relations Department of General Motors. Oshawa.

He was speaking to a group of General Motors dealers from Charlottetown and Summersldc and a representative group of citizens during a meeting at The Charlottetown.

Mr. Graham stated that young drivers from 17 to 25 although comprising only 17 percent of drivers were responsible for over 38 per cent of all accidents. Lust year they were involved in 35.- 000 accldenis in Canada. He. spoke of what governments can do towards providing highways capable of carrying the flow of traffic. but said there is one per- son who can do much to im- prove the situation. He is "the man behind the wheel.”

For this reason, he said. his firm has prepared a set of short films for showing Io youngsters in high schools. The films. which he ran off yesterday for the guests. demonstrate the proper procedure in turning. and signal- ng for a turn. These education- al films for youthful drivers nnd learners will be available for school use here.

OTTAWA. Oct. 4 -(OP)- Diffi- culties in the way of the St. Law- reme seaway probably will stall the start of construction beyond 1062. Ebrternal Affairs Minister Pearson said today.

Though Canada is going ahead with planning at full speed and there has been a surge of seaway activity In W-Ihingwn during the last week, Mr. Pearson emphasiz- ed that many political and con- stitutional obstacles still lie ahead, mainly in the United States.
