P. I9. I. iDe'pa.rtment of Agriculture GOOD PLOWMANBIIIP ..n..,.n.

The Plowing Matches have now adults in each provincial oom- uw, completed, and large numbersniunity, and youth itself, to deve- of people throuzhout PHD” Ed-iiop a spirit and an activity among

ward Island have attended these: matches. They have followed the work performed by single, double. and triple plows, horse and tractor drawn, and have no doubt dia- cuseed fully the various P113593 or good ipiowrnanship.

Most of the plowing on Prince Edwlrdrlliand is still to be done. and no doubt the lessons, if any were learned at the Dlowinl Gom- petitions. will be applied with re- servations, of course. involving the character of each individual and his own pgrgonal opinions on the matter. There are one or two things, however. that might bel pertinent in, connection with thtsl activity. The first is that the plow. is still the greatest implement in in. cultural practices of agricul- iure. No other implement through- out the ages has been as important in securing tilth and promoting food production.

The value of the blow. h0WeVeI'. can be. very materially reduced in the hands of a careless operator. Where carelessness is evident in plowmanshlp the subsequent cultural practises are not able to overtake such carlessness. Ind NI 8 consequence the land is left in a condition thapjs not as satisfactory as it might hoveibeen under more careful plowi.ng.methods.

This. is quite noticeable when comparing cultural methods on dif- ferent farms. The good plowman, taking extra care in the turning over of his furrows, on the even- ness of his workmanship, and in the turning under of organic material, grass. and rubble, pro- motes to a very large degree. the ease with which subsequent cultur- al activities may be conducted. and an increase in production of sub- sequent crops.

In almost all cases the good farmer is a good plow-man. Con- sequently very strict attention to plowing practises is an important part of successful agriculture, and the Matched to conducted. 11'- respective of the mechanical power, are capable of supplying lessons to our farm pooplepof outstanding importance.

From these Matches it is ex- pected that two of the competitors who won prominent because of their plowmanship and skill will go forward to a great National and International Plowing Match to be held this year at Ccbourg. Ontario. It may be possible that Prince Edward Island will produce a world champion -in this year's Competition. In any pvent, the ex- perience should be of fine value, not only to the immediate con- testants, but to the Province. Fann- rrs on the Island wish the com- petitors who will go forward every success,

Youth On The March

The 'Rural Youth Fair and activities in Junior Clubs have now come to a logical conclusion for the your 1953. Club members can look back from the present vantage and assess the value of the Club to thanaelves individually. It must be remembered that the value of Youth Clubs is not involved in the final selection of competitors to attend any particular event, or even the Royal Show. but in the education and information secured by the, Club member on any particular project. These clubs are for the purpose of building up a youth that is better informed in the feeding of livestode, in the growing of crops. in the making of a dress, or apron, or in many other activities that are involved in oxganiutions of this kind.

There is too much of a tendency. possibly, to view Club work from the standpoint of who is going to be at the top of the prize list at the end of the year. This is not the right attitude. although a Competition of that kind is an in- centive to greater effort, and con- grltulltlonn should go out to those who are finally selected as champ- ions in the Judging of various farm products, or in the production of handicrafts. or in preeminence in public speaking.

The Rural Youth Fair was a fine demonstration of what youth can do when properly organized. This is an event that is capable of tremendous expansiomund could very easily surpass in its import- once and attractiveness the main livestock and product exhibitions

held by the e people of the Province. It the umast im- Dortnnce that e y effort should

be expended by Departments, the

young people that will bind them closer to the farm and rural life. and build up a more aggressive

type of citizen in this Province. While the

agriculturist and rural season of 1958 is practically fin-

ished as far as the Club Work is concerned, it should not be :or- gotten that Club Work is con- tinuous and as soon as one years program is over a program of I

broader and morg aggressive na- ture in each Club and community,

and in each Club project, should

be laid down for next year, That is progress; and it is a wise pre-

caution in developing a strong and enthusiastic youth on the march.

W. I. studies Conservation During the past four years the

Women's Institutes have been urg- ed to study Soil Conservation and

have been given direction in this

study by F. W. I. C. and the Pro- vincial Conveners. Many have urg-

ed soil analysis in their com- munities and have Studied Cl. B. Whiteside's book "Prince Edward Island Soil Survey". To further interest is Conservation of Soil, Wild Life and Forests the Prince Edward Island Women's Institutes are sponsoring the Audubon screen Tours again this year.'I'hese beauti- ful moving pictures oi birds flow-

ers and wild life are fascinating for

both young and old. The lecturers are experts in Wild Life and Con- servation. This year's series begins at Prince of wales Auditorium on Thursday, October 1st. 8 p.m. Charles Audubon who founded the Audubon Society over fifty years ago did a great deal of wild life research at Grand Marian. NGW Brunswick, At that time many Audubon Societies were started in Canadian schools but these seem to have died out to qultc a. large extent. The study of wild life and conservation impresses on youn and old alike the dependence o the human race on nature Ind the necesity of keeping a balance in nature for the good of humanity. On Thursday evening Mr. Carl Buchhiester will speak on "Wlld Lifei Down East”. For thirteen years Mr. Buchhelster has conduct- ed Boys Camps where the study

of Natural history was particular-

ly emphasised In the winter, he teaches at Lawrence School at Hewiltt, Long Island.

Contaminatio Of Milk

From the time it leaves the cow until it is consumed or used in manufacture. milk is constantly subjected to bacterial contamina- tion and growth. Every change from one container to another. every hour it remains at ordinary temperature adds to its total germ content. The number of bacteria

lin any sample of mik will depend

on the amount of contamination from outside sources, and ,the ex- tent to which the added bacteria have increased. The prod etion of bactcriolcgicaily clean ilk de- pends on keeping outside con- tamination at the lowest point and checking the growth of germs that enter. which of course, is done by cooling.

Two sourvcs stand out very pro- minently in contributing to con- tamination. namely, dmperfectly cleaned utensils and dirt from the cow.

Oontanilnation From The Body

The cow's body is one of the greatest source: of visible dirt found in the milk, The trouble is caused by particles of manure, hairs, dandruff and other foreign material dropping .into the milk pail during milking. and this can be prevented by making sure that the animals are clean at milking

cow's

'tlme. Even a small speck of dried

manure contains millions of un- desirable bacteria which will cause spoilage of the most objectionable kind. Consequently, the efforts of the clean milk producer should be directed toward keeping the body of the cow clean. The flank: and udder of the cow should be brush- ed oif every day and she 'should not be permitted to lie in unsani- tary bedding. Brushing of the cow is best done about a half hour before milking and reinfection should be prevented by removing any source of contamination out of reach the animal. Stable and

bedding must be clean.

The cows can be kept clean more

easily if the hair on the udder

and flanks is kept'short by clip-

ping. A disinfected damp cloth shoud be used to wipe off the ud- tier and tests before milking to remove dust and loose hairs. This cloth should be dipped in the dia- infectant solution before being used on each cow. Disinfectants for this purpose may be purchased from any dairy supply house with the direction for use enclosed.

Sanitation and Disease

Invarisbly in the problems re- lating to the health of animals the word Sanitation is used fre- quently. In order to properly apply sanitary measures one first must know what sanitation means. Ac- cording to the dictionary defini- tion "It is the establishment of environmental conditions favorable to health." In other words, any measures which will minimize the incidence of disease by cutting down the germ population will be favorable to the health of the ani- mais.

Sanitation, or the lack of it, also has I-direct influence on the qual- ity of such by-products as milk. butter, cheese and many other farm products. In this regard it must be borne in mind that the misuse of disinfectants can be injurious to the product, such as using too strong a chlorine dis- infectant in the milking utcnsils will taint the milk. Therefore, it must be realised that in order to obtain effective sanitation. that these products be used as directed by their manufacturers.

O

In poultry raising sanitation is a must. Dueto the fact thht 'the birds live in such close contact. disease once introduced. can mreui very rapidly. Our greatest loses in the Poultry Industry are due to poor sanitation coupled with faulty nutrition.

one of the best examples of the effectiveness of good sanitation is in the. control and prevention of mastitis in cattle, Very few herds are seldom entirely free of mastitis or infection in the udder. Once an active infection has been est- ablished in one or more quarters in the herd strict sanitation must be observed in the stable and in milking practices. If this is not done the disease can spread with great rapidity from one cow to an- other. The udders of the cows should be wiped off with a clean cloth which has been dipped in a suitable antiseptic solution. The test cups should be dipped in be- tween each cow. Make sure that any known infected animals are milked last, this will help minimise the possibility of spreading it to the healthy animals. When milk- ing is finished make sure the milk- er is properly washed and stand. also. the miiker should be taken apart at least once weekly. this not only prolongs the usefulness of the machine but will eliminate a lot of milk scum. etc, which is an ideal place for germs to multiply. In hand milking avoid using wet hands.

Other steps in the sanitary pro- gram should include a good, clean Water NDDIY. proper stebllng ac- commodations which can be readily cleaned, and disinfected. Minimize dust hazards and any other prac- tices which would lend to the spread or the carrying of germs.

sanitation can not be too strong- ly stressed for the care of the new born. One of the main con- tributing factors to the high in- cidence of calf occurs is dirty utensils, feeding pails nndtrougha which have become coated and dirty. This is an ideal medium in whlch.gei-ma will multiply. The yard should not be overlooked. Establish proper drainage so that the water can get away. Wet, mud- dy yards soon become conic n- and, and are one of the min factors in the spreading of Foot Rot and Muutis, In this article we have attempt- ed to Itimulain thought in rela- tion ic 'tation rather than lay out detailed instruction. It is through the establishment of en- vlronmentaiconditions favorable to health that lones can be greatly

MORE THOUGHTS ON DISCIPLINE

We found last week that dis- ciplining or training a child even in such a comparatively simple matter as table manners, involves more than that single problem. 1 freely quoted from Professor La.ngmuir's chapter on discipline in the fine book, "Our Children Today" (Edited by sldonie Gruen- berg. Published by Macmillan Co. of Canada) to emphasize the need for parents and teachers to be a- were of the total learning of the child, in any learning situation.

It is not enough, it was pointed out, to ask, "What am I trying to teach the child?" One must also ask, "What does he seem to be learning?” The mother can be quite clear that she wishes the child to "eat properly," but does she also realize that nagging at meal-times often gives the child a distaste for food, and for family gatherings? i

Or to teach Mary to become a "neat little housekeeper,” seems a desirable goal, but is Mary learn- ing at the same time to value a neat house above a. comfortable and friendly home?

Again, children should learn to be prompt in school. But if they achieve promptness at the sacri- fice of the nomial chlldis pleasure in school. its friendships and activ- ities, is it worth-while?

O O

I pointed out another factor stressed by Professor Langmuir. Parents, she said, often fail in their attempts to discipline the child, because they expect "too much too soon." For example, they often isue such an ultimatum, "Wo won't have any quarrellng a- mong the children in this famllyl" Since normal children will quar- rel (and make up, too) such a command can only result in re- peated punishment and increased bad feelings all around.

Setting too high and unrealistic to goal for children, can be par- ticularly harmful in regard to their feelings and emotions. Training or disciplining the child, usually means interfering with him, or ask- ing him to do what he does wish to do. This arouses in him strong feelings that parents too often ex- pect him to oontroi. But self- control can come only slowly and gradually; it is really never com- plete, and is far beyond the ability of a. child to achieve.

0 O O

Unhappily, parents and teachers, sometimes confuse self-control with repression. Fear may prevent open expressions of anger or jeal- ousy, or of "answering back," but these repressed or "choked clown" emotions often do limitless harm to the child. Indeed, psychologists believe that their influence can be felt through a life time.

”The goal of sensible discipline, in its broadest sense,” says Pro- fessor Langmuir, "is to keep anger, humiliation, guilt, and fear at a minimum in.order to help the

' child develop a sense of self-con-

fidence. For one thing is certain: fear, anger, pain and humiliation, may stop undesirable behavior momentarily, but they can also keep the child from developing the self-confidence and self-reliance that lead to self-control. And like our parents and our parents' par- ents, we believe that discipline should lead to self-control."

What specific methods of dis- nipline does our authority sug- gest? Flrst, she does not rule out punishment, when it is the rea- sonable consequenoe of ones be- havior. ”To punish, means to im- pose a penalty. Life imposes many

Address and Presentation

on September 10. about so young people gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Claude Carroll to bid farewell to son Claude (Angus) who was about to leave for,Mon- treai where he will enter training camp for the Junior Canadians. And adclreu was read by Sterl- ing Moore and wail-filled purse presented by Sam Gregory. Music was provided by Messrs Wendell Burke and Charles Peters. Lunch was served by Misses Doreen Smith and Joan Moboan, a sing song and, playing "For He's a Jolly Good l"ellow" brought an CIIJOYIIJIQ evening to a close. All wishing Angus the best of luck.

Following is the address:

Dear Angus:

We are gathered here to-night not only to bestow our congratula- tions to you on the opportunity you have received but also to con- vey our best wishes that you will continue to be as highly regard- ed by those who you will soon be meeting as you are by your friends gathered here.

We have watched your increas- ing skill as a hockey player and most of us expected the opportunity to come your way long before an official announcement was made, we know you can and will make good of that opportunity.

You have brought considerable honor to your friends, youmelf and your native province.

We will min you while you are away. so when you leave our midst it is our wish that you leave with the knowledge that you are held close in the hearts of' young and old for your athletic abilities, sport- manshil). and friendliness, when the season is over we will look forward to having you again :- mong us.
