aner mgmemng Anne Dysmnuof their brother Chester F. Mac-

about 20 years of age, who ran up stairs to where her grandparents, lvlr. and Mrs. Bishop, were sleep- rig.

It is reported that the girl was alone in the downstairs part of the house about 11.30 P.M. when the the door opened and a man walked in with his hat pulled down over his face so as to conceal his iden- ity. The girl was very alarmed by the intruder and ran up stairs to awaken Mr. and Mrs. Bishop.

The intruder was heard to leave shortly after, and on coming down stairs Mrs. Bishop discovered her pocket book containing the money was missing from where it had been hidden in the downstairs sec- tipn of the house where the in- truder had been.

When Miss Dyetent'; mother. Mrs. i-fuel Dystant retumed home a short time later police were sum- noned but were hindered in their '...vestigstlon due to the fact that I mowltonn in prucreoe at thh time had obliterated any tracks which the thief may have left when fleeing from the home. 8.

tion, Summersidc, has been a more than usually eventful one. Once again it has changed func- tion. Thie is the fourth such change during the history of the station which was a flying train- ing school in 1941 and a general reconnaissance school in 1942, an

has now undergone another chang to become a Marltme air command operational training

the position of the station is once more stable. Perhaps one of the most notable change: during this festive season is the lack of students from the various NATO countries with their different uni- forms and intriguing accents. But I can assure that although they will be missed in our homes this year, they are being well looked after.

One other noteworthy has been the

change arrival of a con- tingent of the Royal Canadian Navy. We have found them a very pleasant group. I hope that their stay may be a lengthy one

and that they will find it as pleasant as we do. On behalf of the officers and

airmen of R.C.A.F. Station, Sum- merside, 1 would like to extend sincere greetings to the Mayor and citizens of the town of Sum- mersidc and Prince County. inc inaugurated in-1953 has again been promised for 1954.

Forest Nursery

The Forest Nursery located at Southport continues to supply an unprecedented demand for bulbs, trees and shrubs. More than 87,- 000 imported Holland. bulbs have been sold during this past few months. This makes a total of 240,- 000 bulbs sold since the Nursery opened four years ago. Sales of trees and shnibs have also in- creased from year to year, A con- siderable number of orders are now on hand for spring delivery.

During the past year expansion of the Nursery became necessary. An additional 10 acre plot was pur- chased and another 12 acre plot leased. An additional building 30 x 00 was recently completed to pro- vide storage space for bulbs and shrubs.

Just recently the Department published a 32-page, vwo-color illustrated booklet titled "Prince Edward Island Produces." This booklet, the first of its kind put out by the Departmmt. features in word and photo the various in- dustrics of the Province. It gives facts and figures about agricult- ure, canning, forestry and general industry. A section is also devoted to transportation and another sect- ion deals with the island's trans- portation facilities.

"Prince Edward Island Produces" was written and edited in co-op- eration with George V. Fraser. Dir- ector of the Government's Tourist and Information Bureau.

Copies of this new booklet have been distributed to Trade Com- missioners in various countries and will be sent to leaders in industry and firms which are piroqoective customers for commodities which are produced on the Island.

Geological Sltvey

manly in the year arrangements were completed with the Depart- ment of Mines and Technical ur- veys for a geological survey the Province. This survey will continue for the next two or three years Dr, V. K. Prcet has Just ' t ed the first season's work. It is not expected a report will be made un- til completion of the survey.

The Electrical Inspection Divis- ion during the past year have ex- perienced one of the busiest years since the inception of electrical in- Qeotion in 1032. While we did not have as extensive a programme of rural electrification as in some previous years, yet a great. many are taking advantage of the Gov- ernment's plan of rural electrific- ation for me next year in having their buildings wired in readiness for the simply of power when it be- comes available.

Aiarge increase has been noted in the number of oil burners and elcctriml heaters installed during the past year.

During the past year as usual our trade representative has given his services cheerfully where re- quested.

Exports

The volume of export: from the Province has been well manteined. Potatoes and turnips, our principal: cash crops, have been low in price and the price for beef might ac- count for a further reduction in our gross income but vdlume and price have both been high in many of om other pi0dUCl.l.

Council Holds Adjournetlheeling

-A letter from the Summerslde Community Planning Association lread at the adjourned meeting of lthe Summerside Town Council ilield last evening recommended the installation of a two way radio communication system link- mg the town police patrol with the police office. Council mem- bers expressed agreement with the suggestion and thought thati the need of such communication was also evident in the muni- clpally owned electric light com- pany trucks engaged in mainten- ance work on rural lines.

After favorable discussion the matter was referred to the police and electric light committees for study and investigation as to costs, etc.

Another letter from the Amal- gamated Dairies requested that Noonan Street be paved. Noonan Street is ri short street leading off Water St. East, and in addi- tion to several private homes, also carries the traffic leading to Amalgamated Dairies. Polar Quick Freeze plant, and Jenkins Can- nery.

A resolution passed by the council approved the appointment of Raymond Mat-Kinnon its line and equipment supervisor and as- sistant to the chief engineer.

Last night's meeting was held primarily to dispose of bill: which were requirorl to he passed before the hooks endinz the fiscal year could he closed. Tlicse hills had been received since the last regular meeting.

After discussion the town clerk. 'lVlr. John Cameron. was instruct- iod to write the Government rovi- corning a rzrani available. to some municipalities in lieu of taxes on banks. incorporated companies. in- surance companies, etc., on it pop- ulation prn rain basis.

A special merilnr: nf the roun- r-ii will he held about Januaryi 20th at which time the etntrmcni of revenue and expenditure will be completed by the auditors.

Swine Industry (continued from page 0)

Ontario. Bred sows have been sold to these areas and to breeders in Alberta. A significant feature of these sales is that many leading breeders and exhibitors in Quebec and Ontario have purchased Is- land stock.

At the leading show in Quebec, Yorkshiires from Island stock cap- tured the bulk of the bacon class- es and mode a strong showing in the breeding sections. The most outstanding recognition of the merit of P. E. Island Yorkshires has been the recent sale of a number of young boars and guts to the Beltsvil-le Research Instit- ute in Maryland. U. S. A. This is cm of the largest live stock breeding experimental stations in America. Apparently the reputa- tion of our swine has travelled far and it has caught the atten- tion of the ' " stockmen be- low the border. We may hear more from this arcction in the future.

Last June the swine breeders of Nicolet county in Quebec held it show and sale where over fifty head were on exhibit. At this event only animals of pure Island breecdng from sowe qualified in Advanced Registry were eligible.

many parts of Quebec were pres- ent. This was a very important suvutisement for Island York- shlree. lliowe

In 1968 no exhibit of Island swine was made at the Tomato Royal show. It'was decided by the directors of the Swine Breed- ere' Association that in the face of the decreasing hog population here we would have difficulty in assembling an exhibit which would uphold our reputation of past years. Another factor ruponsible for our absence at the Royal is the apparent inability of the judges there to recogniu the mer- it of our exhibits on the hoof.

With the exception of the 1961 show, we failed to place anywhere near the top with our live entries in the bacon classes, while in the carcass classes we made almost a clean sweep. In many cases. the live bacon entries were litter mates to the animals shown in the carcan classu. Our breeders are getting somewhat exasperated over this situation. We have ex- hibited at the Royal four years in a. row. We have demonstrated be-

lyond a shadow of a doubt that tour Island Yorkshires are far su-

perior in bacon type to the strains found in other areas. Further Royal exhibits would not add much to this rating.

At the last Amherst Winter1"air, Island exhibitors captured every first prize and dominated the show completely. At the 1953 Charlottetown Show, the entries were down in numbers but the quality of the animals was of a high order. The Judge. Mr. Don- ald Stewart. Puslinch, Ontario. was so impressed with the swine ex- hibited that he made a purchase, as he stated, to improve the bacon type of his own herd. Mr. Stew- art is a regular exhibitor at the Royal. His general observation was that we have made is won- derful lmprovement in feet and legs of our hogs since we first exhibited at the Royal in 1949.

One point our swine showmen must remember is that show win- nings are of little value to our swine improvement if the winning animals fell to make a creditable performance when tested under Advanced Registry. No breeding stock should be kept in any of our key herds if the dam has sn AR. score under 85. Fodure to recognise the importance of this standard will result in disappoint- ment when short, thick pigs ap- pear in the progeny from such low scoring sows or boars. If the carcass quality of our market. hogs ever begins to fall, the first evidence will be found not in the stock at our shows but in the scores of the sows placed on test. There is some evidence that our swine exhibitors should heed this note of waming:-"Watch the length of your breeding stock.”

Advanced Registry

In 1953, in spite of lower hog production, the number of Island sows tested remained at ll. reas- onable level. Again we had more 90 scoring sows than all other provinces combined. On the debit side we had some increase in the number of sows which failed to qualify. This unsatisfactory per- formance on the part of mine sows was due to lack of length and a tendency to carry overtin- ish in the in-osen.v at market weights. This is evidence that our breeders are not exercising enough care in the selection of their foundation stock. There is alwsya the danger of keeping low scoring btrood sows on the ground that they look good in the show ring. A pretty face with s curvocious figure may be e delusion in more than one close of live stock.

It will be useful for our com- memiu gwlne producers to know that over a recent twelve month period the feed consumption per pig at the Charlottetown Test Station was 035 lbs. The pigs go on test at so lbs. live weight and are marketed when a little over zoo lbs. Past experience shows that it taku about 50 lbs. of feed to bring the pig from 30 lbs. at weaning to 50 lbs. This makes a total feed consumption of 585 lbs. per pig. The variation in feed used was very great. one lot used 466 lbs. per iris while on the other extreme one lot used about 050 Rue. There is much evi- dence that thie dinerence is, in a large measure. due to unthrifti- nose at weaning age and to worm infestations. Neglect in giving iron early and often enough to the nursing pigs and failure to pro- vide a proper starting ration to- gether with unsanltary accommo- dation results in unthriftinxand consequently an increase in the feed needed to develop the pig to market weight. These figures for feed consumption should warrant the claim thst,s.ny normal heal- thy pig should be grown from weaning to slaughtering age on close to 600 lbs. of a good bal- anced rstlon.
