JANUARY 16. - 1953

The Annual Meeting

f The Federation Annual Meeting will on Friday, January 9th con- llSlPd of two parts. The after- noon session was attended by gm-.ie fifty County and Provincial dilCCLOI'S who considered the act- ual administration of the organ- mtinn for the past. year.

The night meeting. open to the Watiic, gave the rank and file of mi-miicrs the chance to voice their a;v.nion on the policy-making as- pprls of their organization.

seine members may wonder why pm directors hold a closed meet- jug. The situation is as follows: Jn theory the County Annual n.-rungs provide the members the chmce to have their say and

' recommendations for the nclal Group. then it is tiie we of directors to act upon the ,.-mmmcndatlons already made.

The Killing Plant

The evening session was high- tjahtcd by a discussion, at times jffrlillllnlolll, on the report of the mrcinl committee appointed at A-,.. Queen's County meeting to Vxllldl the question of a public kiil.ng plant.

The report suggested that a eozmiittce should be set up to put in 2 a plant into operation and up meeting acted upon it.

ifiom some quarters the Feder- you has been strongly criticized for not taking a definite stand in

- mincntllng the project. This H... of action in no way stemmed Jfvrvvi opposition to the project, but ms the result of inability to ob- lIl.'i conclusive proof of the fi- ”:'iI soundness of the propos-

n one denies that such a plant w.-..id rend r- a valuable service. llzlil if dlfficu ties developed in op- yomiing at a profit some group would have to act as Godfather in order to perpetuate the venture.

'l'.ic committee appointed is it pron: one and will. we hope, he ahlv in find the answers to these and other questions.

Financial Responsibility

A resolution suggesting that all 'niili'iF vehicle owners be required 14 llil'l'iiSll proof of ability to pay for damage to life and property vru hotly debated and referred lurk in the Board for further con- lldcraiion.

iilIIGI' the Highway Traffic Act, proof of financial responsibility may be required in certain cases art! may be established in the fol- yowing ways: (1) By producing a

ialiility insurance policy; (2) By posting a Bond: (3) By deposit- lul: 511,000.00 with the Provincial Tmisurer for each vehicle.

in the opinion of the.meeiing the resolution was too far reach- trig for endorsement. hence the decision.

Artificial Insonilnatl-on

Two resolutions-one endorsing the hull loaning policy and urging in extension and another calling for the development of artificial lnsrmlnatlon were proposed. and the feeling of the meeting favor- ed the development of the latter.

'i..osc speaking in favor had en- jrllrlil the benefits of the old unit min were anxious to sea the re- turn of a similar set-up. The suc- ms of the unit depends upon do- ilnr a large volume of business and the willingness of the farmer to my a 55.00 service fee.

public life.

Mr. MacDonald represents the Fluid Milk Producers and Vendors Association on the Provincial Fed- eration Board and his contribution in that capacity made his choice as President a logical one.

Past Presidents

The first President of the Fed- eration was the late Captain John L. Reid of Borden. uho repro- sentcd the Horse Breeders on thr- flrst Board. Captain Reid was fol- lowed by J. J. Tralnor of Bedford. now retired and living in Char- lottetown. Then followed a suc- cession of younger men. R. A. Profltt. of Freetown; Louis 0'- Connor of Clinton; Charles Yeo of Sherbrooke; and finally Roland MacDonald.

Farm Forum

At times comparisons may be odious, but we take some satis- faction in the fact that only three Provinces. Quebec, Ontario and Saskatchewan had more Forums meeting on the night of Decem- ber 15th than had P. E. 1'.

There is every indication that Forum interest is at it high level since the new year came in with practically all groups meeting and reporting.

Monday night's topic, "Where Are The New Farm Leadersi”. produced an interesting National Broadcast and we were iniri,-zued with one speaker's classification of farm leaders.

First. there was the man with the steel trap mind who fastened on to an idea and never let go. Next was the cool, calculating business type of mind who ran his organization in a business- like way. Next was mentioned the evangelistic type with it zeal for inspiring people to help themsel- ves and the last the rabble-rousing rascal who appealed to the emo-

tions rather than to reason. The Wells Are. lip The concern which was felt

some time ago over the possibil- ity of hard winter setting in with many wells dry has been relieved by the continuing mild weather and heavy rains. Already dormant springs have come to life and many farmers report an increasing supply of water in their walls.

A Fatlierless 33.00

During the week of January 5th there was received at the Federation office a letter, post- marked at Hunter River. and con- aining three dollars in payment I a membership fee. The sender was not identified in any way and we would appreciate notification so that the nicinbr-rship card may be sent to the proper party.

Pig Prices

The thousands of Canadian farmers who rush their hogs in- to the promised land of the 326.00 floor are no doubt surprised along with many other people that hog markets held their own and even showed strength. Every hog that was within shooting distance of the weight target and a good many that wcrnlt got. a swift ride to the packing plants and the re- sult was that at the lieillmllng 0i the New Year the grunting and squealing in parking plants and stock yards had practically ceas- ed.

Strange But True

DII.I.ILoL.rthD

'I'here's a species of ant. in Bra- zil (Alta sexdens) which makes mushroom gardens and then fer- tiilizes them inth manure. The ants feed themselves and their young on these mushrooms. What. is more amazing each species of ant grows its own particular spe- cies of fungus, and none but this particular species is allowed to grow in the nest!

The ant garden is enriched from mzicerateci loaves gatliered from nearby trees. The mushrooms find their way into a new garden in this way. The female carries a bit. of the fungi in her mouth from an cstabiisiicd garden and spits it. out on the new plot where she wants to establish a. colony of her own. The queen keeps the fungi alive by mmuring them wii.h her own excrement. I-low astonishing clever it all seems!

Yet this well established fact as well as a few other examples I shall set down in today's column are the results of years of study by Naturalists whose authority we have no right to question.

The giant spider, Nephilo. Mucu- late lives in the Indian Jungle. This creature makes a web as big as the uheel of a wagon and oils her movable parts the same as a farmer oils the gears of his farm implements-that is, she does not smear all just anyhow. She puts it only on special spots such as the legs and body joints, and the opening machine located at the end of her abdomen. Why does Lb: particular species of ant resort to a very tedious operation that often IilSi.3 for an hour. The ons- wer is very simple: To prevent her feet sticking to her web.

The sagacious l;Ltlc ant could giie many of our farmers a lesson ill prudence and economy. No won- der the Good Book says. "Go to the ant thou sluggard. consider her ways and be wise."

Turning from the ant to the white butterfly, Vic find the fem- ale seeking out one species of plant on which to lay licr eggs, namely, the cabbage. or plants of the cab- bage family, such. as the wild rad- ish or the white mustard.

Turn to the hunting wasps. so named because of their instinct to paralyze their enemies until they appear dead. Their favorite sport in rounding up 8. cricket is to dig into the den. drive the cricket ouusidc. and then paralyze it with their poison sting.

It is than habit. of some wasps to go through a. curious ceremony be- fore carting off the cricket. to their bur1'ows. The captured in- sect is left for a time at the en- trance or until the wasp run in- side the burrow and pulls in the captive. wzilkiiig backward,

Certain female wasps hunt only one kind of victim, and having captured it, paralyses it in the manner already described. The victim is then dragged to a nest. where the female lays on it. seals the nest. and forgets about it. The larva. attacks the paralyzed vic- tim. devours. it, then changes into a baby wasp which cats its way to freedom.

It is the habit. of some wasps to in which the wasp paralyses her prey. The poison is injected into its nervous system. striking the spot. in that system which r-.ir cause the kind of paralysis re- quired. The stabs are three ill number. The first. is made under the neck. the second behind the prathorax, the third near the front. of the abdomen. One stab would not. penetrate. the ganglia. no more than one stat) of the dentists needle would deaden the nerve in the jaw in order to ex- traci. a.tooth painlessly.

These are most remarkable ob- servances and prove the wisdom of instinct! Moreover, the wasps in- jection pariilyses the nerve sys- tem without causing any bad af- ter effccts. Recovery takes place when the poison is absorbed.

Think of ill The act demonstrates clearly the wasps knowledge oil the anatomy of the prey.

l-lere's another amazing taken from the history of the 111-! dlaii Black Am. The ant. actu-l ally takes ciirirge of a bug known as Monoplilebus Slebbingl. The, bug sits atop a green plant busily, sucking out. sap. The out Slflllda, by and geiviy strokes it. vihich in some unexplainable manner causes. the bug to cjcct a drop of lli.llCl which the cunning ant. drinks, Thus we are the sap transfcricd from the tire to the bug, to the out. And only when the bug is sucking sap does the ant bother it. At. all other times the out Lakcs iin notici-. of its movements
