SALAD WEEK

Juli 26 to August 4 marks the rm-niitl Annual National Salad Week to be held in Canada. This is an event of more than ordinary iiiiiiortaiicc. It can Very Well ll3V9 for reaching effects on the health of the peuiiic.

Why is it that Canadians are nit-ii poor patrons of delicious and licaitii promoting salads? our good friends from across the line line their salads and many of our .i.iinrs remark on the dearth of snlzids as the main course in our illt'fil5. Prince Edward Island veg- etables and fruits possess the cris- pm-ss, tastiness and quality that go to make salads of outstanding appeal, Very little effort, how- nor, has been expended by 0111' hotels". restaurants. stores and oth- rr public service institutions to popularize salads in the diet.

'liliroi.i.szh the efforts of the Can- Milan Horticultural Council, a Nat- inilal Salad Week was inaugura- ted in 1951. Large magazines.

daily paperii, inthistrial organiza- tions. and Women's Departments enthusiastically supported the idea and right across Canada. Salad Week went over with a bang!

This year the effort has expand- ed, and it is expected there will be an increased and, we hope. permanent popularity developed for more salads in our diet. Salads mean increased health, and low- ered costs of living.

Watch for salad recipes in the press and magazines. Insist on ap- petizing salads. Put Salad Week, from July 26 to August 4, over in a big way in this Province. RAGWORT AND RAGWEED

There appears to be some con- fusion in the identification of Rag- weed and Ragwort. These two bad weeds are similar in name only. There are two kinds of Ragweed, Common and Great. Common Rag- weed grows about 18 inches high and its leaves are much cut up while Great Ragweed may reach six or seven feet and its leaves have only three points. Neither type has showy blossoms. The large amounts of pollen which they shed is produced in numer- ous green flowers borne on a spike. It is the pollen from this plant which causes hay fever dur- ing August and September. About 2 per cent of the people are sus- ceptible to ragweed pollen. Ef- forts are being made to eradicate this health menace. Information on the occurance of this weed is welcome by the Department of Agriculture. :

Ragwort goes by other names such as Stinking Willie or .St. John's wort. It is a hardly bion- nial found in pastures, bay fields. rondsides throughout much of

Kings County, and some sections of Prince County. This weed is poisonous to horses and cattle if eaten in hay. but is usually avoid- ed by animals in pasture.

It is not harmful to sheep and may be controlled to some extent by their close grazing. Ragwort is easily indentified by its num- erous showy yellow blossoms and rich green leaves which are deep- ly cut and wrinkled. The period of blooming lasts from late July to September.

JUNIOR CLUBS

Junior Club work began on Prince Edward Island in 1922 with the formation of the Pioneer Ayrshire Boyss' Breeding Club. This Club was organized through the efforts of the Ayrshire Breed- ers. Department of Agriculture and with the assistance of the banks who gave credit to the boys for the buying of heifers.

By 1926 five Heifer Clubs had been organized and during that year six Swine Clubs were organ- ized with a membership of almost 200. Two boys from the Pownal Swine Club competed in tllc Nat- ional Competition at the Royal Winter Fair.

During the next few years Heif- er Clubs were being replaced by Calf Clubs and fromA I931 Calf Clubs only were organized. .

In 19.15 there were twentyrllV9 Calf Clubs and four Poultry Clubs in operation in the Province and in that year girls' Club work was also started when fourteen Clubs were organized. In the period from 1935 to 1946, there was a steady decrease in the number 0i Junior Clubs in operation. The decrease in the latter part of this period is due to the Second World War. but from that time until the present Junior Club work has shown a marked increase. '

in 1955 we had a total of 127 Clubs in operation in this Prov- ince. These Clubs comprised a total or approximately 170 boys
