More than twenty red and white sirea have been graded in the Province by the Ayrshire bull grading committee it was re-

Parent. Superintendent, of the Experimental Farm to' members attending .the semi-annual meet- ing of the Prince Edward island Ayrshire Club.

The meeting was held in the Provincial Department of Agri- culture offices and was largely ai- iended. The President. Mr. How- ard Ma.cLeod, Bridgetown was in the chair.

The bull grading committee is composed of Messrs. R. C. Parent, S. C. Wright of the Provincial De- partment of Agriculture and Mr. Fred Macllae, Central Royalty.

Mr. Parent reported that the committee had inspected a num- ber of outstanding sires which were graded double X. The ma- jority of the sires inspected were Grade X while a small number did not come up to the standards required.

A bonus policy for the top- novch sires has been drafted which provides for the payment of 840 a. year to the owners of Grade XX sires and 325 per annum for Grade X bulls.

Purpose of the bull bonus policy is to improve Island Ayrshire herds. It provides the Association with the knowledge of where the leading sires are located and make it possible for them to determine the real value of the bulls before they are shipped to packing plants or out of the Province.

Mr. Parent expressed hope that the animals that did not grade up

to requirements would be re- placed s soon as possible. He also co -mcniecl on the lack of

safety precautions taken by some owners in handling their sires.
