g BREEDING CLUBS
Joseph Mallard of Souris River is the new Inseminator for the Eastern Kings Artificial Breeding Club. He is replacing Albert Mills who is‘ leaving on next Tuesday. Ami 1st. Albert has given service and developed the Club since it first began in May 1956. Since that time he has bred over fifteen hundred cows in the Club. The best wishes of all those he has served so faithfully go with him in his new venture.
The new Insemin-ator, Joseph Mallard will commence on Tues- day, April 1st. From that day on all calls should be placed to Sou- ris 100. Why not start off by as- sisting the new man by having your calls in by not later than 10 in the morning. This will help to cut down his operational costs. 0’LEARY DISTRICT
Ted Sabine has tendered his re- signation to the,President of the O’Leary and District Artificial Breeding Club. He has accepted a position with the Department of Agriculture. Since the Club started in May 1956 approxima- tely three thousand cows have been artificalgly bred. On the 1957 record the O’Leary and District was the second largest club in the Province.
The new position that Ted will assume w-ith the Provincial De- partment is with the Dairy Div- ision as the Dairy Herd Improve- ment Promoter. An announcement will be made later when Ted will be leaving the Club.
Aptplications for the sition of Inseminator in the O’Leary Club are being received at the De- partment of Agriculture office in Summerside until Thursday, Ap- ril 3. I HOW TO LIGHT LAYERS
Egg producers are agreed it is necessary to use electric lights in laying pens in order to obtain high production during the short days of fall and winter: But there is still a wide difference of opin- ion as to how the lights should be used.
Here is the way we see it, after discussing the matter with a num- ber of practical poultrymen and reading various official reports on the subject. '
1. It is important to locate the, lights in such positions that the, light will fall evenly and uniform- ly on roosts, feeders, waterers— and all parts of the floor. Us- ually, this calls for spacing the bulbs 10 feet apart, both ways—;_ and about 6 feet above the floor.:
Wide-angle reflectors (14-inch dia- l
meters) will help spread the light‘ evenly.
2. Yearling hens require more hours of light than pullets. In the case of pullets, the ‘best bet ap- pears to be to start with a 13- hour day (using 40-waft bulbs) and gradually increase to 14 hours if production shows sings of drop- ping. In the case of yeanlingts. it appears advisavblewto start with a 14-hour day and stall “P t0 15 01' 16 hours if necessary. _
3. Best results are obtained when all the artificial light is giv- en in the early morning and the birds allowed to 80 l0 T005‘ at dusk. But this presents a chore- time problem on many f3'1"{n5- The birds must get their evening feed of grain an hour before go- ing to roost, which in December

means feeding about 4.00 p.-m. The most practical arrangement IS to have the evening lights go off at 7.00 or 7.30 p.m.. . .and morning lights come on early enough to produce the length of day the birds require.
4- If you havenft a time-clock to turn the lights on and off, it seems to be better to burn d-im light all night than to depend on turning bright lights on and off by hand. In the ease of pullets, start with 10-watt bulbs and change to 15-watt bulbs if pro- duction fails to stay high.
In the case of yearling hens, start with 15-‘watt bulbs and step up to larger bulbs if necessary.
Funny Jahing a-bout lighting l-ay, ers. We used to think the extrh hours of light enabled the birds to eat more and that the ~xtra feed‘ intake stimulated egg pro- duction. Now we know it works the other way around. It is the effect of light on certain glands that stimulates egg production. . . and the birds eat more because the‘ higher production sharpens their appetites. This same direct influence of light on egg yield makes it profitable to keep the lights burning through dull, clou- dy days.’
NON-LAYERS COSTLY
A non-laying hen will still go through 25-30 cents worth of feed a’ month. She’ll be much better off on the’ dinner table.
Culling is an important factor of management in making a flock profitaible. A mature hen will re- quire in the neighbourhood of 25
to 30 cents wosnth of feed in one '
month whether she is laying or not. Since non-layers are kept at the expense of good layers, the whole flock may be kept at a loss if culling is not practised.
No two flocks are alike from the standpoint of breeding, feeding and management. » Poorly fed flocks require more rigid culling than flocks for high egg pro- duction. In the feeding and management field the old

Always the Sign of a Good Place to Dine
rule “feed for egg production and then cull,” still applies. It is an easy matter to eliminate the loaf- ers from a well fed flock but in a poorly fed flock it is almost impossible to judge by appear- ance, what a bird would be cap- able of producing if given the s- sential feed nutrients for high pro- duction.
The weak, under-developed pul- lets should be culled at housing time. The first few months after housing the only culling neces- sary should be sick birds or birds that are off in condition and will obviously not lay enough eggs to be profitatble. From December through the rqmainder of the laying year the amount of culling that should be done will depend upon the relation of feed costs and egg prices.
Feed costs and the current market value of eggs determines the level of production to yield a profit. A poor producer may pay some profit when eggs are worth 50 cents a dozen but will be kept at a loss when eggs bring only 30 cents. ’ HERBICIDES
Ever since 1945 when 2, 4-D weed chemical was first used on a large scale as a selective weed control herbicide, the acreage treated in Western Canada for weed control has been steadily increasing. Although ad-verse wea- liher interfered with spraying in many parts of Western Canada there were still 15,476,000 acres of field crops treated.
In Alberta, 4,067,000 acres were sprayed using 2,4-D or MCP. This was 93.3 percent of 1956’s total which was considered a top re- cord for acreage treated. Acres of field crops treated in the other provinces we're 8,316,000 in Sask- atchewan, 3,011,000 in Manitoba and 82,000 In British Columbia.
In addition to selective sprays, soil sterilants have been used ex- tensively to eradicate _scattered patches of persistent perennials and for reducing larger areas of these weeks. Over 200,000 olonate- borate compounds were used on this way in Alberta last year The development of effective, newer and cheapter sterilants will no doubt increase their use.
Chemicals have been a major factor in checking and decreasing weeds and farmers realize that this economical aid to their cul- t-unal practise can overcome the weed menace. On an ever increa- sing scale sltepped-up research is providing better herbicides while ‘extension and teaching programs deal with more effective applica- tion.
CROP PROJECT CLUBS ‘
4-H Project Clubs are organized in the same way as other 4-H Clubs', that is, in co-operation with the Provincial Departinent of Agriculture. Ten members be- tween - the ages of twelve and twenty are required as a mini- mum numlber to form a Club. For clubs which have already been operating as Garden Clubs, mem- bers who were ten and belonged in the past may continue. There can be no members under eleven for the 1958 club year. Each club must have at least one local lead-

er; the number of assistants. III any, will depend upon the size of? the club..
Several projects are available from which the members may choose. Five must choose each project to be eligible for prize money. Each member may part- icipate in only one project per year. Members must undertake a new project at least every third year. Members who have spent two years or over in gardening may continue with that project for the present year but must change to another project next year. Clulbs operating longer than two years on one project in ay continue under the supervision of the Department of Agriculture but without financial assistance.
Prize money is. awarded in the same wa-y as for Calf Clubs. That is, the Provincial Deupartiment con- tributes one-third, the Federal Government one-third and the Club itself must- raise one-third of the prize money.
Six projects are available. These include Forestry, Garden, Grain, Pasture Management, Po- tato and Weed Projects.
The Forestry Project consists of two years work in woodlot manvagempnt. Achievement D a y exhibits to include leaf, twig and wood collections.
The Garden Project consists of two year wonk in Rte fertiliza- tion, care and management of a home garden. Vegetables in sea- son are to be exhibited at the annual Achievement Day in the fall.
The Grain Projecti-nvolves two years work in the culture, plant- ing, weed control and harvesting of grain. A peek of the grain har- vested is to be exhibited at the annual Achievement Day in the fall.
The Pasture Management Pro- ject consists of two years work in pasture care, fertilization, lim- ing, supplementary crops and gen- eral management practices. Ach-
