Premier Jones Honoured

Another well merited honour is to be conferred upon Premier J. Walter Jones, LL.D., today at Sackville, when he will re- ceive a Fellowship in the Agricultural In- stitute of Canada for "outstanding service to agriculture".

We can imagine no more fitting reci- pient of such a distinction, and it is one which we are sure the Premier will value highly. Since 1909, when he graduated from the Ontario Agricultural College with his B.S.A. degree after writing four years' examinations in two years, he has scored many honours in this field. Among his achievements are his important. volume on "Fur Farming in Canada", published in 1913, and his subsequent success as a breeder of pedigreed Holstein cattle which won him the Master Breeder's Shield from the Holstein Friesian Association of Can- ada in 1918, scores of prizes at inter- national shows, and the world champion- ship for his cow Abegweit Milady as a but- ter fat producer in 1943 over all breeds and ages. Not so well known is the fact that some forty years ago, while Acting Superintendent of the Arlington Experi- mental Farm at Washington, he took act-

ive part in campaigning through the news-

papers here for the establishment of our seed potato industry.

While hc has been singularly successful in politics. Premier Jones has always look- ed upon farming as his life work and its interests have always been closest to his heart. As a Fellow of the Agricultural In- stitute of Canada he takes a place to which he has long been entitled, and which he will fill with marked credit and dis-- tinction.

A Valuable Service

The first of this season's bulletins issued by the Potato Growers' Advisory Service appears in today's issue, and should be studied carefully by our potato growers. it warns particularly against the danger of late blight, which may be expected some- time this month if present conditions per- sist.

Conducted by Messrs. F. M. Cannon, Do- minion Entomological Laboratory. and L. C. Callbeck, Laboratory of Plant Patho- logy, the Advisory Service was inaugurated in 1947 to assist the potato growers of Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia in protecting their crops against diseases and insects. Information is received from plant pathologists, entomologists and seed potato inspectors in both Provinces and the bulle- tins are prepared at the Charlottetown offices of these divisions of the Science Service. One bulletin is issued weekly through the growing and harvesting sea- son. Each one is brief and to the point, which is a cardinal virtue in a service of this kind.

war Souvenirs

During and after. each of the World Wars there was a series of accidents from the explosion of munitions, our own and enemy, which had been thoughtlessly ap propriated as souvenirs. There are fewer left today, because of the accidents and because the owners took steps to have them destroyed by responsible autlioritles.

Remaining charges of explosives, i: is well to note, grow more dangerous rath- er than safer with age. Many forms of high explosive which are reasonably stable when manufactured become very tricky indeed after a period of years and may be detonated by a very slight shock or oven none at all.

Because that old grenade has been lying around for years does not mean it is safe. in the case of explosive substances age is like a fuse bringing them ever nearer to a possibly fatal blast.

of interest to all our farm producers is the (mango which is occurring in the prac- tise of1'Western Canadian farmers. They am cutting down on their production of wheat and increasing their production of livestock and the feed grains required for llvubdt. Tic! in with this switchover is 3 growing appreciation that grassland fanning. at relatively low labour cost, pro- vlb In excellent and cheiip source of cattle feed. '

-- 'The. immediate. cause of the change,

says the Winnipeg hes Press. has been the rapidly increasing price of hvestoclt, a price which makes its production much more attractive financially than the pro- duction of wheat. Credit is also given to the technical experts, who for years have been hammering home the virtues of di- versification, both from the point of view of money returns and of soil conservation.

The Free Press commends the activ- ities of the Agricultural Institute of Can- ada, which recently met in Winnipeg, in providing a great deal of valuable infor- mation on livestock production and grass- land farming.

The Misty Isle

(Anna Dunlop in ”Scotlnnd")

We were luckier than most. fol” our mother called Skye home. She had been a Mncleod, and so had her mother, so that she was a double-dyed Macleod, and it was a safe bet that anyone on the island bearing that name (and there were many) was related to us in rsome wa '.

I)t was a family joke that every- one in Skye was related to every- one else. and although this was it wild exaggeration there was s shadow of foundation for it. Like all island communities skyemen intermarrled more than mainland- ers.

Another piece of luck was that we had a slight smattering of Gae- llc, and so were not utterly at sea among the soft syllables floating around us when we were holiday- ing in Skye. Our attempts to speak it were few and feeble. but we were at least able to catch the drift of what people were saying, and when our mother met acquain- tances wc had some idea of what they were sEyl.ng.ab.Out us.

From Edinburgh. it was 9. ions journey to a child oblivious to the lovely scenery of the Invei-ness routc. Later we came to look for- ward to crossing the Highland Linc, but we never grew to like the bleak moors across country to Kyle. it seemed to be always raining in the middle of Scotland. But we waited eagerly for the burst of glory in which we em8l":'Z1 high 0" the slopes above Loch Carton and at; last caught a glimpse of the mountain peaks of Skye. Suddenly the distinctive colour- ing of the west were all around us: the loch an unstable colour that wavered between tn-sen and blue. running through all the in- tcrmcdiate shades as we watched. and the water so clear that we could see from the train the loch bed. chocolate-brown seaweeds. black rocks and pink sands, through this changing screen. In in contrast a steadfast. heavenly; blue.

Mlemories of Skye, like the changeable colors of the west that are the despair and inspiration of artists, run into a shifting pattern. It is almost painful for the mind to wrench itself from the driving curtains of rain, like the Northern lights come down to earth, to a heat-hazy sky above serrated blue peaks scored with navy-bllle B8311- cs; for the image of s shazly Highland steer. lmmoblllzed ln thought astridc a narrow 703d and calmly disregarding the ap- proaching car, to be aupel'lmP050d on mm of a. tiny. wild. purple- and yellow pansy B1'0Vv'ln8 in U19 centre of the same road. W pull- ed up that pansy. carefully wran- plng up its roots. and took it home to our Edinburgh sarden. where It actually grew and multiplied for awhile.

We brought other from Skye. including shells and "gruth" or ci-owdle-mild. crum- bly cream cheese. Occasionnlly we brought animate objects. There was the baby rabbit presented to us the day before we left. within it week it had died of s Iurfelt of greens. for the poor thing had as little idea of its capacity as we had. our Skye terrier PHD. how- ever. was more fortunate. although we thought he would never reach Edinburgh when he got stuck ba- htnd the bot pipes under the train

Moreover. the islanders themselves, living amid such splendid land-and-sen scopes. do not display the customary in- difference of the inhabitant, but now how to appreciate their gor- geous, slow sunset: at well as well u the misty days when sen. il- land and cloud seem to mingle.

You turn you head one way and you see in the distance the jagged range of the Coolins; you turn it the other to face the shadowed, flat-topped Mncleod's Tables. Whlle out to sea, sparkling in the sun. lies the green slab of the island of Carina. You find a steep. Elli-353' promontory, Cl'L.3 the intervening sand bar and climb up among the sheep on its ridge. only to find it hollow, for there is 3 huge cave under your feet.

You chamber down among the rocks sprinkled with cherry red sea-anemones, while the sea, so still as you cam: across the bar. creinnginto the floor of the cave, leaving pools. in one of which lies an eel. It is called the singing cave, for the smallest sound pro- duces s. long, mournful echo and re-echo. And when you leave this, magic place. you find your promon- tory has become an island. Sori closely is Skye set in the unis of the sea.

Don't believe those who say the Misty. isle is always so. The breath of the sea may sweep over the island one day, wiping out the mountains with white mist, and be followed by one of those bril- liant jewel days only to be found in the west. There will be a white. trailing waterfall pouring over the cliffs at the mouth of the loch. and the next day it will be gone.

No wonder Skye is full of stories about the fairies! The sea-lochs themselves seem alive. So still sometimes that you can hardly tell where dark hill meets dark reflecting water. and at seven olclock on an August morning, when the cattle have waded in up to their knees. you can almost hear the midges dipping in the surface. Within a few hours the tide may be in, and the grey loch leaping like a wild thing under shining splinters of rain.

As you pass along a road you see

neat white tent-tourists. A

few miles further on you find two black. dome-shaped ones -tink- ers. The post-office window has a letterbox in it, but its twin brother is full of biscuit tins and boot- laces. There is no end to the many facets of Skye; and the essential Skye we used to know is still there, as unchanging as its aspects are changeable. ...And still we have not recalled the distinctive smell of Skye. a. sweet pentyseaweedy smell. Noi- its history and legends. Nor: its links with the far world through its emigrant sons."

And the whole w..gregsti.on of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: and the children of Israel said unto them. would to God we had died by the-hand of the Lord In the land of Egypt. when we snt by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger. . . . And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying. I have heard the murmui-lngs of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying. At even ye shall cat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.

"The Unicorn, in coming down the river on her last trip from Quebec, ran aground near Riv- lere du Loupc, and was thereby detained ten hours. In order to guard , as much us possible against the consequences which may result from the recurrence of suph cnsuultics, it is intended. we understand. to place, next year, a second boat on the stu- tlon between Quebec and Plctou. thus affording additional security for tho punctual transmission of the mails.

"At the same time Mr. Cunard could not avoid expressing him- self struck at the want of accom- modntinn in Charlottetown for trnvcllcrs. A, number of those who had previously arrived in the Pocahontas were in town, and when the Unicorn arrived with upwards nf forty more. although some were nccommodnterl in pri- vate houses. many were unable to procure beds. and during the two nights the vessel remained here. were under the necessity of sleep- ing on board. . .

On Wednesday evening the pass- engers by ihe Unicorn had to scramble in the dark over the decks of two square-rigged ves- sels before they could reach the wharf, and when they did effect a landing. they had then. at the risk of their limbs, to pick their step: over huge heaps of lime- stone ballast. which hnd previous- ly been thrown upon the wharf.
