Good Response

Mr. W R. Shaw. provincial chair- man of the 1953 Red Cross cam- paign .re-ports excellent response I0 date from those he has approached as cancassers in Queens and Kings Counties. The first area chairmen to agree to undertake the organization of their own dis- tricts were: Mr. Albert McCardle. Middleton; Mr. Henry Mallard, Gowan Brae and Mr. Stewart Mac- Gregor. East Baltic. Mr Saw is using every means at his disposal to talk up the Red Cross campaign and viill be card in an inaugural broad- cast as advertised elseuhere in Hus paper on Thursday evening.

Forsees Demand For Seed Grain

"Many farmers will be feeding all their grain this winter and will he in the market for seed next spring. ' said Mr. Donald F. Stewart of the Plant Products Division. He felt that farmers would be well advised to save some good grain for their spring planting.

Mr. Stewart in reporting at the

Agricultural Council now in sessionl

said that there were only 15 regist- ered and certified growers of grain .in the Province during 1954. Out of these 11 grew Ahcgweit oats. He noted that the largest grower in

the Province was R. E. White andl

Son. Hunter River who produced 290 acres of Abegweit oats.

Speaking of turnip seed. Stewart said that Ontario turnip producers show a preference for Maritime seed. He told the meeting that a system of precision sowing has resulted in a saving of V. of the amount of the seed. He said that mangle seed is almost a thing of the past. with only 1.200 to 2.000 lbs being grown.

Mr. Stewart reported that the Is- land imported about 336.000 lbs of timothy seed. 140.000 lbs of this was straight timothy. while 196.000 lbs was mixed. He said that mixtures appear to be more popular among the farmers. He estimated that the total amount of timothy used for seeding in the province last year to be 736.000 lbs. In other words about lbs. of local seed was used.

Thirty-nine feed mixing plants were reported to be in operation in the Province in addition to a con- centrate mixing plant at Kensing- ton and a fish meal plant at Souris. The protein of local grain is not as high as Western grain, he said. and more concentrates have to be added to keep the mixture up to guarantee.

Greatly Enioyed Last Night

A capacity audience was on hand last night at Prince of Wales Col- lege Hall to honour Scotland's plowman poet and to be entertain- ed at the annual Burn's concert which was under the sponship of Zion Church Men's Association.

Mr. Walter Shaw was master of ceremonies and his many remarks tinged with Scottish wit. and other- wise. lent much to the enjoyment of a well balanced and much ap- preciated program.

Mr. Shaw, in his opening remarks said ”it is amazing the number of people who come year after year to these Burns concerts . . . us if it were something ricw." He li-lt that it was. not perhaps. the flash of the tartan or the skirl of

so much as their love for a man who was a lover of mankind. Mr. Shaw pointed out that Burns' fame was notgonly national but inter- national and it was worthy of note that the Poets works hate recently been translated into the Russian language and is the most popular of poetry behind the Iron Curtain. ”Who knows?” said Mr. Shaw. ”that perhaps this realm of friend- liness created by the Scottish Bard so many years ago. may be the
