Four mines and a hit! Con- gratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Bernard for a successful blue rib- bon event. All the others were pink ribbon affairs. We under- stood Gerard and the Mlssus were working on a softball team, but we reckon the plans have been changed. If this newcomer ever fogs the old apple over the plat- ter like his dad did in Dartmouth, Middleton, Chatham and home here in Summerside, you proud papas with one and two-year-old future batting champs in your high chairs, don't take too much for granted!

Well, Alberton downed the Sum- merside Mercury: in two straight games, and we congratulate the Regals on their accomplishment. We haven't seen the Alberton ag- gregation play this year but we think they will have to be slight- ly better than Just good to take that doddering old man of the blades, Oscar Campbell, and his cohort into camp. They're smart, those boys, and the more chips are down, the more chips they get on their shoulders.

We have a. protest to make to the Physical Fitness Department, however. We ask, Messrs. Reid and Hogan, why take the Sum- merslde boys and put them in a. class one notch above where they should be? Sydney, Glace Bay, Moncton, Halifax, st. John and Charlottetown all have large art- ificial ice rinks, so they're all put together in the "Big Six" class. Here on the Island, Kenslngton, ,Bedeque, Borden, Alberton and. O'Lesry have natural ice rinks, so they should go in one class. Right? Well, then, Wellington, Lot 16. Muddy Creek, Summerside and Miscouche all have open-air rinks, and should be put in another class. Right?

On behalf of the Mercurys, we hereby challenge the last mention- ed teams to a round robin of games on some clear night when the wind is west, and light, for the open-air championship of Prince County. Bring along your shovels, fans, and root for the home town.

We're kidding, of course. But it could come to that in the course of a few years. if - - -. There are really no "ifs" because Doc Clark and his committee are on the job, and we have faith that they

The past year has brought about distinct changes in the sheep raising industry of Prince Edward Island. stated Mr. W. R. Shaw,

of the Sheep Breeders' Association.

is impressing itself on the minds of farm producers. This change in thinking is not coming about because of the direct economic benefits of sheep raising, but through I numbe of other in- fluences which include iniprove- ment in farm fertility, weed coli- trol, lower labour costs, economy oi housing, and other factors. in The returns of the past year have kept pace with those from hogs and cattle, Mr. Show stated. in Lamb has been in keen demand and reached a high through 13' spected packing plants of thlrty- a five cents alive. These prices brought in snug profits at low a investment and Production C0lt5- Wool prices also reached the highest point in our history, and to all who marketed promptly through approved channels a. high of 81.05 was received. This price included a five cent bonus to pa- trons who marketed the 1950 clip through the Canadian Co-oper- ative Wool Growers Limited. Late p shippers unfortunately missed the high prices and received little better than half the market value p of early contributors. y In order to assist those who made late deliveries an extra five cents per pound was added to the market level and thus helped the ultimate receipts. The markets for the year were extremely diff- g icult to predict. War orders op- erating in the early months drove prices up to unheard of levels, and created artificial values. La- ter this prop was suddenly re- s moved and the market as sud- denly collapsed. Later prices have r recovered somewhat, but uncer- tainties still remain and it is s difficult at this time to say what is going to happen in the trade. Very serious losses have been ex- perienced by interests that bought heavily at the top prices. .

Through this trying period the strength, stability, and business efficiency of the Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers Associa- tion, Limited, has been very clear- ly demonstrated. This organiza- tion stands at the very top of ef- ficiently handled busincss as- sociations in Canada, and sheep producers little realize the pro- tection that has been rendered through this medium to the sheep breeding industry.

Neighbours living side by side very often re- ceived different prices on the same day from the same buyer, Prices ranged from less than sev- enty cents to ninety cents per pound, but conformed in a pinch to the advertised price of the Sheep 2Brceders' Association. Wool was taken from the door, very often under the influence of un- fair suggestion, and low market- ing skulduggery practises.

Mr. Shaw concluded by saying.
