Today, your J-M reporter compared pictures of an ee- beltoa shingle 35 years ago end the modern J-M Dura- bestos Shingle. The basic ingredient: - asbestos end cement are the same-both are rot-proof and fireproof. But what a difference in ap- pearance! Today's .Durabes- tos Shingle has colour and pleeing texture. Its deep, rich gralning and staggered

FISIIERY RESEARCH

popular. The firm of J. H. Myrick and Co. Ltd., Tlgnlsh, at one time had s huge “ti-ap" locutcd between Tignish and Kiidare Cape. So large and heavy was this trap that its four corners and "mouth' were upheld by water-tight mackerel barrels.

Large quantities oi all kinds of fish were caught in it. Though cod was the principal fish, salmon, hail- but, and even lobsters were taken out of it, But the trap was too ek- perisive for the ordinary fisher- men and today none ls used.

Mr. George MacBeth, well- known on the North Shore as one of the more successful lobster end mackerel fishermen, conceived the idea about 30 years ago of using nets for the catching oi codfish. They had been used by Nova Scotia and American fishermen with allegedly good results, bu; while MacBeth dld succeed in making some fair catches with them. it is noteworthy that he soon abandoned the practice and went back to the trolls.

Fishing Seasonal

The great obstacle to the em- ploying oi expensive fishing equip- ment for codfishlng off the North Shore is that this fish is more or less "seasonal". When it arrives first, sometime between the last of May and the first of June, it comes in large bodies or schools. At this time the troll is the only method. apart from "jigging" (using a hook without bait and pulling it 11D B1111 down a. few feet in the hope of hooking the fish), that can be used for the cod will not bite readily

at that time of year. Veteran fish»

er-men say that the troll is then efficient because the cod reeds mostly at night at that season.

Later oii-in July, Augustnand September-the cod will take e bait from a hand-line practically as soon as it reaches a depth about three feet from the bottom. But while some good catches have been taken then by the hand-line me- thod, the fish do not appear to frequent Island waters in as ars! schools as those that are trolled earlier. Moreover, they 8T9 B 511151‘ ler “run".

About 000 people were X-reyed during the pest week by the Mobile X-Ray Unit which made calls at Murray River, Little Sends. Murray Harbour, and White sands. This brings e total of almost '10,- 000 people who passed before this Unit for chest examinations since its survey began three years ego. July 1945. '

It is very gratifying to note that in most Districts people ere tek- lng advantage of this service, in Why cases appearing for their third check up in.tlirce years. In future there will be en elapse of two years between check-we as the programme now is scheduled to cover about half the Island this season, therefore it is very urgent that everyone be x-reyed. again this time.

The staff of the Mobile Unit have reported their equipment to be standing up to the weer end tear 100% eo fer, but only under continual servicing and malntal - once and some good luck can they expect to carry out the complete survey without some major break- downs. Some of the equipment now in use has far exceeded itself in life and. weer. Newer and up to date equipment has been recom- mended on several different oc- casions but due to the lack of finances, the vast overhead, etc., not only are they working under- stat-fed but the possibilities of pro- curing new equipment seems ,re- mote at present. However the X- Rays taken by the Mobile Unit are still up to standard.

Next week the Unit, which is owned and operated by the TB. League, is scheduled to set up at Caledonia, Grand View, Uigg, Ver- non River and Lake Verde.

Crowersllilviseii lie Late Blight

Into blight has not yet appear- edd-n the fields, but the growers are advised that it was found on the young sprouts of: small cull

pile in a wood in the vicinity of Charlottetown on July 3. This l: the earliest recorded date of its

appearance in the province ec- cordlng to a bulletin issued by Messrs. L. G. Cellbeck, Dominion Laboratory oi Plant Petholosy. and F. M. Cannon. - Dominion Entom- ological laboratory. This discovery indicates that late blight is potentially p ' end a continu- ation oi wet, humid, cool weather could easily lead to field infections. Farmers, warehouse operators, etc.. e strongly advised to re~ move cull potatoes which are an always dangerous infection source. All cull potatoes should be deeply buried or sprayed with a chemical top killer to destroy the sprouts and eyes. It is recommended that fields be sprayed with 8-4-80 Bor- deaux or a commercial copper fungicide as soon as the plants ere 10 inches high. -

Potato flea beetles have been prevalent for the post iew weeks. In early planted fields moderate damage, by eating small circular holes in the leaves hes been re- ported. The first brood should be over within a week. If however. these beetles are still causing dam; age. spray with DDT 50 per cent wcttable 1 3-4 pounds to 8O gal- lons of water. or dust with a 3 per cent DDT dust. When the plants are small the side nozzles on the spray boom could be plugged using only one nozzle per row. In this way a large percentage oi material ls prevented from being wasted on the ground. It might be necessary to reduce the pressure when using e smaller number of nozzles.

Colorado potato beetles have been noted during the past week and a good deal oi egg laying has taken place. When the larvae come out the potato plants should be spray- ed with DDT, the some as for flea beetles.

l‘ ruckmen Cive Position In Event 0i Rail Strik-

TORONTO, July 9 -(Speoiel)— In the event oi s railroad strike on July 15, Canada's trucking industry will be able to provide the nation with an alternative freight service "oi very limited scope and durat- ion."

This is the position of the nat- ion's motor freight carries as sum- marized in a. statement by John Magee, executive secretary and director of public relations of the Canadian Automotive Transportat- ion Association. Tihe C.A.T.A. is the national organization oi the trucking industry embracing 5,000 member-trucking companies in a federation of six provincial truck- ing associations.

"Apart frcm the railroads. truck transportation ls the only surface freight carrier operating in every province of Canada." said Mr. Magee. "The question immediately arises as to whether motor trans- port can provide alternativefrelght service in the event of a nation- wide stoppage of rail transport.”

"The answer is that we can pro- vide alternative service but only of very limited. scope and dura- tion."

"Within provincial boundaries, and inter-provincially bet/ween neighboring provinces. the trucking industry can, and ‘will, perform a substantial emergency movement oi freight which normally would go by rail," Mr. Magee declared. However, this emergency freight movement will not lest for long. The railroads are the bulk carriers of petroleum products. If rail dis- trlbution of petroleum supplies ceased. trucks, busses and motor cars would soon be stalled for lack of fuel."

"Although the nation cannot do without trucks any more than it can do without railroads. truck lines are the arteries, not the backbone of our transportation system." said the C.A.'l‘.A. spokes- man. l-ie pointed out that "every- thing we eat, woer or use, et some stage in its journey from ploducer to consumer. moves by truck."

"The railroads ere the backbone of the nation's transportation sys- tem." Mr. Megee declared. “No form of transport exists which can replace the railroads in that role. For example: except for the odd movement of furniture no trans-continental trucking service has yet been established in Can- ada. A railroad strike would cut the nation in two. It would. in fact, create two separate nations- East and West - interdependent but unable, through lack of rail transport, to receive commodities none oi us can live without.”

"A two-week reil tie-up would

even to civil wer. A railroad tie-up of three weeks or more would

bring the nation to e stale of anarchy!" Warning that "brdh rail and

highway carriers are still exper- iencing the abnormal tcnnege vol- ume which has been e poet-war phenomenon,” the tr “ spokes- men said that this will limit the efforts of highway transport oper- ators to substitute trucks for reli- roed box cars."

"Even now, the rolling stock and terminals of a large portion of the trucking industry are employed ‘almost to Qpacity to cope with the heavy movflnent of freight ton- nage,” said Mr. Megee.

‘Ilhe possibility oi a nationwide sympathy strike of trucking em- ployeea, if a rail shike Occurred. was ditcounted by the C.A.'I‘.A. spokesman. He pointed , “the majority oi employees oi the triacking industry are not yet cr- ganised or represented by labour unions. 11pm the union leaders of.

Shortlhoms Dropped

I

In connection with the annual meeting of the Central Artificial Co-oiperative Association Ltd, for- merly known as the Central Arti- ficial Insemination Unit, held at Prince of Wales College Friday night, it was stated that the organization had served an area last year within. a ten-mile radius of Charlottetown. This year an area in the region of Kensington will be serviced. Shorthorns have been dropped from the unit this year as it was this breed that caus- ed the most difficulty in the first year's operations, it mos said. This will leave four dairy breeds to be serviced this year, namely, Hol- steins, Ayrshires, Guernseys and Jerseys.
