CLOTHING CLUBS

For the first time In the 4-Hl Club Program at the Maritime Winter Fair the Clothing Clubs of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island were fea- tured. The public often has but a vague idea of any phase of club work until a demonstration is given; the demonstration at Am- herst was in the form of a fash- ion show. As all of the provinces have a slightly different work pro- gram ill the clothing project there was a good variety of garments shown from pyjamas and house- coet to a tailored suit.

Prince Edward Island was rep- resented by: Norma MacQuarrle of I-Iebron. P. E. 1., who wore a

petition in September and Queens County team was chosen on the basis of age and achieve- ment in order that all parts of the Island might be represented. A green wool cardigan the fifth year project of Kathleen Gillis of Grandvlew and a blouse made by Bonnie Maciiie of Southport were also shown.

4-H Club work is on the increase in the Maritlmes and the 4-H Club features at the Winter Fair are becoming more interesting to both club members and the general pub- lic each year. From five years ago when a straggling parade around the ring was the only part the clubs played in the opening. the smart formation of 4-H's in each corner of the arena, by the members with colorful standard and banners was a credit to the 4-H club members of the three provinces.

The 1954 club program at the Maritime Winter Fair has passed into history and I am sure that the boys and girls who were privi- ledged to participate have bene- fited greatly by their experiences. The participation in the different contests and the mingling with boys and girls from New Brunswick and Nova Scotla will tend to broaden tiie outlook of our own young peo- pa. The sixteen young people who took part in the contests this year were representing the I957 mem- berll who are enrolled in the 4-H cllib movement in this province.

The results of the contests show the keen interest taken by those who represented the province and I am sure all our rural people will want to congratuatc the con- testants on their cxcclent show- ing at the Maritime Winter Fair.

CI 0 O

In the very near future. 4-H calf clubs will be re-organized once again and any district wishing to organize or re-organize a 4-H club should write the Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture in Charlotte- town. In order to qualify. each club must have a minimum of ten members composed of both boys and girls between the ages of 10 and 21 years of age. A mini- mum of five calves of the same breed (grade or purebred) is es- sential or If two breeds are de- sired then there must be five of each breed in the club but in order for a member to derive maximum benefits from club work. each and overy boy or girl should have and own his or her own calf.

CLOVER SEED PROSPECTS

Preliminary estimates of clover and alfalfa seed production in Canada for I954 make a gloomy picture indeed. Briefly this is the situation: Red Clover and Alalke- down 25 per cent; Alfalfa -down 70 per cent; Sweet Clover --down 50 per cent. (All based on the ten- year average. 1944 - 1953). Al- though Red Clover and Alslkc. our two most important clovers. are down only 25 per cent. the supply of need will be greatly af- fected by other factors. The U. 5. seed production of these two clov- era is estimated to be only 60 per cent of the average crop. Wet weather In Europe has also great- ly lowered their seed production resulting in big demand there for North American seed.

These facts all point to a much increased cost of clover seed for Island farmers next spring.

What can be done to ease the situation? At the present time there are hundreds of acres of red clover aftermath in the province which should be well worth-while harvesting. The seed set app!!!" to he good and if only 40 OT 50 mun.-lg per acre is harvested In all probability the cost. would he gmply justified. Swathing. and combining on a dry. sunny after- noon ls probably the best method of harvesting.

A small reduction in the clover portion of the grass seed mixture could he made provided the rate of grain seeding is reduced to not more than three bushels per acre. The majority of farmers are seed-

Farmers might also be well advised to experiment with Ladino clover for silage and pasture. Although the seed has in the past cost more than either red or alsike clover only 1.i to 1 pound per acre is required. A large reduction of the other clovcrs in the mixture should be made when Ladino is used to permit establishment of this valuable clover.

Only once have I met an indivi- dual who adopted shakeepeares advice about borrowing and lend- ing as life principle. It. was many years ago when I was a substitute teacher in New York City. I re- ceived a hurry call one day and ran off to the school w1t.h an empty purse. Fortunately the school was within walking distance and I planned to go back for money during the lunch hour. But it was important that I cancel a luncheon engagement. During the morning recess I laughlngly explained the situation to the teacher next door and asked her to lend me a nickel
