INCREASED BREEDING
The first five months of 1958 have shown a marked increase in the number of cattle artifici- ally bred on Prince Edward Is- land over the previous year. To date 2967 cows have been arti- ficially bred. The month of May shows the highest number name- ly: 1077. The number bred each month are listed below with the numbers in brackets represent- ing those of the 1957.
January 367 (186) February 360 (216) March 509 (307) April 654 (409) May 1077, (617)
The figures noted above repre- sent an increase of 71 per cent over 1957. This period has shown the most rapid increase of any period since Artificial Insemina- tion was estazlished here in the province.
Ten breeds are available daily, namely: Holstein, Ayrshire, Jer- sey, Guernsey, Dual Purpose Shorthorn, Beef Shorthorn, Here- ford, Aberdeen Angus, Red Poll and Chaiiolais.
If you require service phone the Invseminator in your area be- fore ten in the morning to re- ceive service that day. It is im- portant that full co-operation on the pant of ‘the members is ex- tended to the Inseminators par- ticularly during the next three months which are the heaviest months in breeding cattle in this province. By phoning be- fore ten o’clock in the morning it affords the Inseminator the opportunity to lay out his route and hence cut down the number of miles which he has to drive and also to extend a better ser- vice to the members of the Club. Cat-tle which come in heat in the latter part of the day are far better bred the next day than they are bred that day. There is a greater chance of them getting in calf if this procedure is fol- lowed.

is shown in the following ex- cenpts from a bulletin on the “Effect of Air Temperature Rise on Laying Hens.” It says in part:
As air temperature increases groin 70 degrees to 100 degrees.
1. Body temperature increases (of the hen) rises.
2. Respiration rate increases 2.7 times. _
3. Heart rate is lowered.
4. Water consumption increases 35 per cent (for Leghorns) from 7.6 gallons per 100 hens to 10.3 gallons per 100 hens daily.
5. Feed intake is decreased 60 per cent.
6. Egg weight declines by 11 per cent.
7. Egg shell thickness dec- clines to 77 per cent. (After a short period of high tempera- tures, shell thickness did not re- turn to normal after two weeks of cooler temperatures.)
8. Blood calcium level decrea- ses 25 to 30 per cent.
9. Hens lose weight, paralleling reduced feed intake.
10. Egg production drops 53 per cent.
11. At 100 degrees F., ferility and hatchability decline and death losses increase. 0’Leary 4-H Calf Club

The accident (X:cllI'I‘ed at the corner of Prince and Water streets The Tracadie man's veh- icle caromed -off the other and collided with two other cars parked on Water street.
In meting out the penalties, Magistrate Martin told the court that there was intirely too much drinking and driving going on and that the court would be cracking down considerably in the future.
Gerald R. Foster appeared for the Grand Tracadie man and Somerled Trainer for the North River Road man.
Similar charges were issued to three other men on the 17-case docket, the largest" of the year.

In January 1944 the Battalion was again transferred from the Prince George Area to Vancouver Island where it was sucessively stationed at Port Alberni, Nan- aimo, Campbell River, Courtenay and Qualicum Beach.
While stationed on Vancouver Island the Unit took part in tactical training, combined oper- ations, mountain climbing, etc., T0 WAINWRIGHT
In August 1944 the Battalion moved to Wainwright, Alta., and spent the Month of September in advanced Tactical Training before moving to Terrace B.C.
From Terrace, in September 1944, the unit proceeded on em- barkation leave assembling in Debert, N.S. early in January.
On arrival overseas in Janu- ary 1945 it was immediately dis- banded and all ranks went into the general reinforemenl: stream_ MANY DRAFTS
At various times the Island Highlanders had sent large drafts overseas; the first and probably most important being in May 1940 when a complete Company was transferred to the North Novas.
Other large drafts went over» seas from the unit from Gander, Newfoundland, Sussex, N.B., Saint John N.B. and Nan-aimo, B. .
Although the unit left Terrace, B.C. for overseas with a strength of 1150 all ranks, less than 50 of those had been members of the original Battalion.
Original wartime Commanding Officer of the P.E.I. Highlanders was the late Lt.-Col. C.C. Thoma- son M.C., V.D. He was succeeded by Lt.-fol W.J. MacDonald, ED. now a member of the teaching staff at Prince of Wales College.

Shovel Arrives For _ Bridge Job
Contractors will begin placing “class two” material on the nor- thern approach to the Hillsboro bridge this week, according to Trans Canada Highways officials here. Brought to the Island for the express purpose of excavat- ing this much coarser type of fill is a 66-ton Lima shovel with -a capacity of two cubic yards.
The class two material will be used to protect the sides and the ends of the approaches which join the bridge abutments at either end. This material will be 12 feet in width on either side of the approaches near the shore but wil. widen to 50 feet at the abutments.
A second shovel is on order for the south approach and for the moment plans are being worked out as to how the huge machine can be transported to

The main body of the fill on the north approach_ has been placed and good progress is re- ported on the south approach which will require somewhat less material than on the opposite side of the river.

Potato Pests Active In N.S.
Potato beetles are laying eggs and flea beetles are becoming quite active in Kings County of Nova Scotia, states this season’s first potato bulletin issued by the Science Service Laboratory on Charlottetown.
The adult potato beetles will do very little damage but when the eggs hatch the young larvae will often destroy the crop.
Fles beetles will puncture small holes in the leaves of the young growing plants but unless they are very numerous they will not reduce the crop yield to any great extent.
This brood of flea beetles will disappear during the second week of July and the second brood will appear, early in Au- gust wnen they may cause more serious damage.
DDT 50 per cent wettable pow- der, 2 lbs. to 100 gallons of wat- er or DDT 25 per cent emulsion, 1 quart of 100 gallons of water will control both potato beetles and flea beetles.
If it is necesary to spray when the plants are small often one nozzle per row is all that is necessary.
Organ Dedicated AI Belfast Church

Society were dedicated at the service Through the generosity of
friends of the congregation and a substantial gift from the Ladies’ Aid of the Church, the aisles were fully carpeted for the Sunday service

ness Bill Reid reported that the display put on yesterday by the junior and senior ‘departments was a credit to Principal Frank Costello, his staff and the pup‘ ils of Parkdale. They presented a well-balanced program which the children particularly seemed to enjoy and which is certainly benefiting them by way of P05‘ ture improvement, etc. _ “Such a program could (Julie easily be carried out by any school in the Province and would benefit both pupils - and teach- ers,” stated the director. He went on to say he hoped more teachers would follow the ex- ample of Parkdale teachers in
giving their pupils the opportun- ity for such a program.
House Moves
OTTAWA (CP)—-The Commons Tuesday gave first reading to a bill enabling provinces to start drawing payments by July 1 un- der the Hospital Insurance Act.
In a review, Health Min-ister Monteith said at least eight prov- inces are expected to be partici- pating by next Jan. 1 and five are in line to start receiving pay- ments by July 1.
He gave this breawkdo-win.
Ontario and New-foundl-and have signed arg-reements, the former scheduled to start receiving pay- ments next January and the lat- ter July 1. Other potential July 1 starters are the four western provinces.
Manitoba was ready to sign. British Columbia had submitted an agreement to the federal gov- ernment. Saskatchewan had a draft agreement prepared. There was “some difficulty” in Alber- ta’s case, to be discussed here this week. It appeared that in its present form the Alberta legisla- tion might not meet the federal act’s requirements.
Meanwhile, P r i n c e Edward Island and Nova Scotia might be 1959 starters a-nd Quebec had not indicated its stand.
