Damage to the Prince Edward Island turnip crop by the root mag- got. although heavy. will not be as devastating as reported earlier in the season, it was learned yester- day from agricultural officials and laboratory workers.

Mr. W. P. MacLeod of the Do- minion Fruit and Vegetable In- spection Service estimated that be- tween 800 and 1,000 carloads of Is- land turnips could be marketed during the 1950-1951 season. This is approximately one-half of last. year's record sales of I900 cars and about 400-500 car loads below the exports of an ordinary season.

In dollars and cents it amounts to a decrease of about 3360.000 in comparison to the money returns received last year. Averaging about 45 cents a bushel. Island farmers last your collected somewhere in the vicinity of w84.000 from the turnips they exported.

Owners. handlers, and dogs from such distant points as Indiana, Oh- io, New Jersey and Boston will join forces with Maritime owners and handlers to compete in the Third Annual Prince Edward Island Hun Trials which get underway at Har- rington this morning.

Sponsored by the Charlottetown Kennel Club, the event is the lead- ing one of its kind tobe held each year in local sporting circles.

Commencing at 7:30 th rnom- ing with the vetinary's ' I ctton of dogs. the contestants ki the Puppy Stakes will take to the field at eight o'clock for the opening competitions of a two-day program, to be follow- ed later in the morning by the Shooting Dog Stakes.

The Puppy stakes will follow course N9. 5 which starts at South Winsloe School and continues on out the Winsloe Road, while the Shooting Dog Stakes will be carried out over Course No. 1. its starting point being one mile out the Wirisloe R.oId from Hlghfleld Cabins.

There was also a good repruentation from St. Ste- phen's Church, Burlington. Bright bouquets of cut flowers were pleas- ingly arranged about the hall.

Mr. -Ernest Mill. capcbly ing the rc-lewof chairman, in a few sul:- able remarks. spoke of the purpose of the gathering. and -called upon Mrs. J. G. Townsend. who read nn address which convinoely conveyed the feeling of irreparable loss ex- perienced by his people following the announcement by Mr. Davies of his resignation as rector of New London Pariah. to take up the work of Field Secretary for the British and Foreign Bible Society. The ef- fectiveness of every phase of his ministry was ncted, and although the loss to this parish will not be light. there must yet be a sense of rejoicing that he should have been chosen for a work of a broader scope. Keenly felt will be the de- parture of Mrs. Davies. John. Mar- garet and Baby Linda. as well as Mr. McEwen, father of Mrs, Davies who has in several visits to the rectory. come to seem like one of the family.
