Euslisge At Faloonwond
The farm staff at Falconwood is busily engaged these days in putting up what was undoubtedly the best crop of corn ever grown on the Farm. Three varieties, namely: 606, 250 and 355, were grown, ;and it is interesting to note the development in these varieties. In all cases there was great growth of cob and the re- sulting ensllage will.be of a very high quality and feeding value. A close check is being kept on the relative merits of these three varieties. It will be necessary uhen.the upright" silos are filled to construct possibly a snow fence I110 as a temporary storage place to take care of the surplus. This will lehve Falconwood with 'four different types of silage storage this season. namely: The Upright. the Fit, the Longitudinal against the side of the barn, and the Show Fence Silo. Tile latter will be tried out with both lined and un- lined portions. Approximately 000 tons of gram and corn silage will be available at Falconwood this year for the herd.
Cheese
Last year Prince Edward Is- land Cheddar cheese was placed on the market in small packages and received a tremendous patron- age. , The supply quickly petered out, to the disappointment of many consumers. This year the same product. packaged in the same way, is going out to the trade. There is no finer cheese in the world than Prince Edward Is- vlsnd Cheddar, and particularly when it is put up in small. at- tractive packages, suitable for the consumer. This cheese is now available in our stores, and the attention of the consuming pub- lic is directed to a Prince Edward Island article of higll merit and quality.
Markets
A great many changes have taken place in market prices since last spring. There has been an abrupt revision downward in all livestock quotations, but recent .snnouncemenis in connection with Support Prices, and a downward trend in United states markets, have not served to strengthen

The potato market :seems to be holding pretty steady, and it looks as if there will be a reason- ably goocl return to producers this year. The recent meeting of po- tato producers held at Prince of Wales College. the larg I: ever held on Prince Edward Island in an agricultural sense, has helped to clarify the whole situation. Many farmers came to the meeting with- out having full information with reference to the whole potato sit- uation, and the information given there very materially cleared up points that were not thoroukhiy understood. It is to be sincerely hoped that from now on there will be a better spirit of co-opera- tion and service rendered to our primary producers by all who are directly interested in the potato industry.
Feed Flavors In Milk and Cream
Certain feeds, when fed to the cows from 1-2 to 5 hours before milking cause a. definite feed flavor in the milk. The flavor is usually more pronounced in the cream and butter than in the milk. Flavorl substances of feeds are carried by the blood to the udder and are then imparted to the milk.
The substances may gain en- trance-to the blood in several ways. one is by passage through the digestive tract to the blood. Another is by inhalation, thus passing through the lungs to the blood. A third is by passing through the skin of the animal and then absorbed by the blood.
Tests show that the flavor of the milk was seriously affected when the following feeds were fed one hour before milking: corn. alfalfa, sweet clover, peas or vetches, turnips Or tllrnlll tops. potatoes and carrots. Practically no flavor was caused by green corn, green oats and peas.
when the feeds that cause a pronounced flavor an: fed in not- too large a quantity immediately after milking, the milk at the succeedlng milking will not have a pronounced feed flavor.
Potato Exhibits In the past few years P. E. I.
potato growers have, to a great
extent, received the greatest num-
ber of prizes and the top awards at the Maritime Winter Fair. It
is hoped that this year will see a similar occurrence. To make this possible, the growers must get busy. Get your entry in before October llth. Entaies must oe from fields of seed-potatoes. No one exhibitor may enter more than two varieties or more than one entry in any one class. Each exhibit must "be of thirty tubers of about 8 oz. each.

Hints on Preparation of Potato
1. Follow a potato .digger or picker in the field to make your first selections. .
2. The potatoes should dry at short time in the field before he- lniz handled.
3. Do not select any potato which is bruised or which has scab or other disease.
4. The potatoes selected should be carefully placed in astray or wooden box, and do not place any more than one.layer on the tray.
5. Make a large selection and place the trays in a dark place so that the tubers will not be- come sun or wind burned until such time that a final selection may be made. ,
6. The tubers should be cleaned by brushing with a soft brush but not washed or wiped with an oily cloth. '
7. For your final selections. pick iron-tithe trays a potato of 0 or 0 ounces in weight and as near to the true varietal type as possible.
8. Select about 3: tubers as -lnear to this one as ible.
9. Wrap,each tuber in soft pap- er, (not newspapers. as the ink may stain the tubers), and pack in a wooden box.
10. If you wish free delivery to Amherst, have your exhibit at the Seed Certification Offices by October 20th.
Tractor Tips
Now that tractors have taken the place oi horses on so many itarms. it is well to remember that tractors, too, can be danger- rous, and that a few precautions, 1taken.st the right time, can be very much in order. For instance.

IT'S A BOY.
The time has come. as the Wal- rus said to the Carpenter, to talk of many things-and instead of referrin to individual differences, in chil ren and,adults, in a. gen- eral way, we must carry the prob- lem further and discuss some specific differences that affect the lives of human beings.
First, we shall deal with the greatest single difference, that of sex. Although the role of men and women is not so rigidly set as it used to be, it is still true that boys and girls, men and wo- men, in the country at large, in the community and in the home. will develop different traits and different interests and achieve. merits.
Some authorities, more than others. stress physical differences, particularly glandular functioning. as a direct cause of this, but all agree that family attitudes and expectations, leave their mark. From the beginning one standard of behavior is set for the boy, an- other for the girl. He must be a "regular boy"; she must be "a little lady". The girl may cry when she is hurt. The boy must be "brave". Certain toys are bought for the girl, another kind for the boy-a.nd so it. goes on.
0 I
but one very important factor in the personality of both has undoubtedly been the greater par- tiality shown the boy. Through the ages, a male child has been preferred to s-female child, and even now, generally speaking, the boy-baby node a. warmer welcome. This has led to many weird rites and notions for influencing the sex of the unborn. The moon, the stars, potions of all kinds, have been called upon to help. Strange, .hat even now, it is not )widely known that sex lls determined at the moment of conception and is inherited through the fatherl
Wasn't it ex-King Farouk of Egypt who divorced hlsiflrst Queen two or three years ago because she bore him three daughters and no son? (He deserved to losebhis crown, if only for that!)
Sex is indeed a spectacular ex- ample of the interplay or inter- action between heredity and en- vironment in human beings.
- O I O
This is the way sex is deter- mined: out of the 24 pairs of chromosomes in any human cell, twenty-three pairs are alike in both men and women. The 24th pair, however, called the X and Y pair, is unlike. Every wo- man has two X chromosomes, while every man has one X and one Y. the Y being smaller. It is this XY combination in the mail, and the XX combination in the woman, that results in all the diilerences between them. Since every one of the egg cells of the woman contains an X chromo- some, and exactly half of the male sperms carry the Y chromo- somes, if a sperm carrying the X chromosome Join; the egg we have an XX individual, or a girl in- fant. But if a sperm carrying the Y chromosome Joins the egg, we have an XY individual, or a boy! (You will remember that every sperm or egg carries Just one of every pair of chromosomes.)
On this smaller Y chromosome handed down by the father, de- pends so much of the life history of the individual! Indeed , - ibllity to disease, and the length of life itself, are affected greatly. Authorities have. discovered, for example. that diabetes is one of the few major diseases that sf- flicts more women than men. Cancer, except for certain types found only in women, is much more frequent in men. ye de- fectlveness. including blindness, is far more prevalent in men. Speech disorders adect many more males.
