Island Hens Set Record In Production

Island hens laid one -mlllion. four hundred and thirty-one thous- and and eighty eggs last week or 127.590 dozens which is an all-time record for the second week of May of any year of which Mr. F. M. Nash. senior poultry products in- spector. has record. For the cor- responding period last year the production was 121.170 dozens.

Mr. Nash reports that last week's record production is moat signi- ficant because Island poultrymen concentrate on heavy winter and spring production when egg prices are at their peak and the fact that their flocks sre laying so heavily at. the present time shows they have mastered the art of feeding and caring for their layers.

The sale of baby chicks through- out Canada this spring has no‘. been so great as last season, Mr. Nash said. and this fact coupled with the prospect for good fall prices for both eggs and poultry should encourage the Island poul- tryman to maintain his 1941-1948 level.

The report of Mr. Nash con- tinucs:

"The quality of the product ls exoellentntnd eggsarebeing-pack- ed for shipment in dryers to be made into sugar dried egg powder for shipment to Britain. Smaller shipments are being made to New- foundland and Maritime points. A total of five cars were exported from the Province last week.~

‘There has been no change in paying prices on upgraded eggs and operators of grading stations

Maple Hills Housing Problem Discussed In Commons By‘ Mr. McLuré

Not Fair Comparison in ilousing Picture

SEIGNIORY CLUB. Que. May 10 -- (OP) - Comparisons of per- centage increases in population and housing units do not present a true picture of the housing eit- uation, DB.

He said that in the period ‘i039- 19411 the population increased l2 per cent and the supply of hous- 111g unit; 15 per cent, a com-pari- son giving the appearance of an easier housing situation in that there are less people living in each unit.
