Sei lip Domesii Science Equipment Al Wesi_Kcni

The equipment kindly made available by Premier J. Walter Jones, acting Minister of Public Works, to the City School Board, is now being setup in a basement room in West Kent School, which until June was occupied by Miss Riley's class. The equipment now being placed in position consists of ilva teaching tables, two double sinks, oven, and range, together with teacher's desk, cupboards, etc. Tables and desk had to be connected with the electric power. as well as ovens and range, while the plumbers have been busy connecting the sinks with hot and cold water and sewerage system. As soon as the floor covering is laid the above will be placed in position. The room is being newly painted.

Twenty girls will receive in- struction in this important branch of education, and it is hoped that as soon as a teacher trainedun this work can be procured, girls in grades ‘I and‘ B of the three City schools will receive instruc- tion in this roojn.

As an expert engaged in re- search on "Wiltshire" bacon pig production before the war, Mr. Duckham said, "You have bet- ter 'Wiltshire‘ types here than anywhere else in Canada."

While praising Island potatoes and swine, Mr. Duckham said he was disappointed in the serious lack of good grasslands. "As an Old Country agriculturailstl can- not see how your potato produc-

Mr. Duckham said he had a "soft spot" for P. E. Island since his niece and nephew, Neil and Pamela Foster lived in Charlotte- town with the Reg. Aitkens’ for four years during the war.

The British agriculiurist spent yesterday morning at the Science Service Laboratories discussing the control of potato diseases. He was shown around the Experimen- tal Farm in the afternoon. Today he will be shown other parts of the Island by Mr. Walter Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, and. will leave by plane for Fred- ericton tonight.

P. E. I. Man lias Different Business

A former Prince Edward Island man, Mr. Peter J. Walsh of Wor- cester, Mass, is making a name for himself in the States by operating s, workshop on heels.

Mr. Walsh is in the radiator business and his workshop is built from the chassis of a ton snd a half truck. the shop being 24 feet long. eight feet wide and seven feet high. The shop, powered from the truck's motor, contains two hydraulic lifts, s gas generator and an oil fired furnace, plus s pressure powered water hose for the flushing process.

l-lc conceived the idea indirectly through farmers who told him of all the work they could give him if he could get out to them in the fields or over to their homes and barns. He left here as e young men and worked at numerous occup- ations before striking out on his

own in the radiator business.

Island Airman's Article Featured

Ilbllowing is a review of an ut- lcle written by Wing Commander AJ. Bhslfoon, dlreotorof Ail-Fly- ing Weather Training in the RAJ‘. and, formerly of Charlottetown. The original article was published in the RAJ‘. periodical "Happy Landings" and reprinted in digest form in the Roundel, an R..C.A.F. magmas. Wing Commander Shelfoon is well known here. having lived 1n the city before enlisting in the ECAJ‘. He has a younger brothm- George who is very interested in

private pilots licence. They are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. J.A. Shel- foon. Charlottetown. "$111111 0X18 Dre-son" is the story of the despatchlng of the over- shadowing dragon o1 the air, the cumulonimbus cloud. The prob- lems dealt with include those which stem from the thunder storm, namely lightning and tur- bulance. He also discusses diff-ic- ulties arising from hall. Dealing with thunderstorm, he states that the thunderstorm pro- ject recently completed by the United States Air Force shows that this hazard is very much less a problem than rumor has led us to believe. He states that the matter of flying through a. thunderstorm should not he txmsidered lightly, but with the right technique no difficulty should be incurred. Lightning he claims is tile least worrisome factor in flight. He states that there are two kinds of lightning strikes with neither likely to cause any serious dam- age, although both can be alarm-

The major or greatest worry connected by the pilot with thun- derstorms, he states, is turbulence. Meteorological briefings, he claims, if properly carried out, indicate to pilots where they are likely to meet these jolts 0r gusts, and pil- 015 fore-armed with this knowledge should have no cau-se for alarm.

He outlines the several precau- tions which should be taken when- ever turbulence is encountered. Good instrument flying, he states, is essential. Others he lists as pre- paration, slowing the aircraft down, turning on pilot and car- buretor heaters, reeiing in trailing aerial, cockpit lighting i111. if at night. Destructive hall, he claims, is extremely rare. Superficial damage from unanticipated h-ail, he states, is very common but there is little evidence that aircraft have been lost through this cause.

Praises Beauty 0f P. E. Island

“Prince Edward Island is one 0i the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The colours are certainly the most striking with the varying shades of greens and yellows against the reds of the soil," said Mr. Alfred Rives, Canadian High Commissioner to New Zealand, in an interview with The Guardian last evening.

Mr. Rives is visiting the Meri- times with his wife. He states that the Department of External Af- fairs is now interested that offic- ers should be familiar with the whole of Canada. As be 1s a. native o1 Vancouver he felt he should visit the Maritime-s. He has met the Premiers of the various Prov- inces and discussed affairs tn gen- eral with the ministers.

During a visit with Premier J. Waiter Jones, M1". Rives learned that a number of the New Zea.- land grasses originally came from the Island, when settlers left here in the “early days." He says that PE. Island is one of the Canadian provinces "quite well known in New Zealand, especially since a num- ber of their airmen were trained here.”

Mr. Rives mentio and that one of the papers received at the 1118b Commissioner's office in Wellinfl- ton was The Guardian which was

Comments 0n Statement By Ontario Minister

Regarding s despatch in yester- day's Guardian. in which Agricul- tural Minister Kennedy of Ontario stated that because of mineral de- ficiencies in overgrazed pastures, "children and adults are starved and unhealthy," The Guardian 1n- terviewed Mr. 13.0.

"I don't say that we have ar- rived st that stage hers on the Island," Mr. Schurman conunent- ed. "But unless we recognize the condition of mineral deficiencies and take serious‘ steps to correct them, we are heading that way."

Mr. Brhurman pointed out that "the only minerals in chemical fertilizers we have really bothered about in late years is phosphorus, potash and calcium." 1n addition, s plant uses magndlum, sulphur, manganese, copper. zinc. cobalt, iron, and probably others we know little about.

“As s. Province which exports in

Mr. Schurman pointed out. that recently the Island has been im- porting considerable quantities of feed grains from Western Canada, When these are turned into man- 11". they become one source for Feliienisiling the deficient miner- als. But by far the greatest; sour-cg is chemical fertilizer which. until YBGBIIIIY. was practically devoid of these ail-important trace elements. Warning that “although chemical fertilizers have been a godsend with judicious use, their abuse is a dangerous possibility," Mr, Schurman continued: "If we ne- Blect the old-fashioned methods of maintaining fertility, the contin- ued use of chemical fertilizer alone may lead to serious nutritional de- ficiencies in animals and humans."

Fertility of Features

Mr. Schurman spoke specifically of the fertilizing of pastureland.

Ha advised that where Possible. "comparatively light dressings of barnyard manure will help greatly to maintain fertility. Where neces- sary, however, this may -be sup- ‘plemented to advantage with a complete chemical fertilizer of 4-8-8 or 5-10-10."

I-lo suggests that top-dressing of ‘pastures should be applied just before the ia.ll rains during Sep- tember. tvhiie there is still a ten- dency to growth. In this way the new grass will keep the manure shaded and moist and promote decomposition.

Spring applications of manure should be put on just a»; early ‘as the farmers can get on the land- the new growth again inducing decomposition. Cattle, of course, will avoid feeding on the newly manured areas for s. time,

Chemical Fertilizers

Mr. Schurmsn believes that where chemical fertilizer is used, late fa.ll applications may be more advantageous than those in the spring. Apart from the fact that top-dressing in the fell reduces spring work at the busiest time on the farm, it is possible that this is a better time to spread complete fertilizer. 111s phosphorus and potash may thus be made more readily available in the spring when the growth begins.
