New Strawberry Records Nlade At Montague

....°'l"hls year has seen the great. est activity in the strawberry industry in this locality that has over been witnessed. Although many farmers in the past have grown one or two acres of berries. none have even approached the heavy production as was witnessed this summer on the farm of Mr. Fred G. Maclntyre. Having grown strawberries on a small male for many years, Mr. Maiclntyre, two years ago decided to go in for commercial production and start- ed off with three acres to test growth. There are now twenty acres under straw-berry cultivation. and this year Mr. Maclntyre pick- ed off twelve and next year plans to increase the picking acreage to fifteen. Beginning of the 2nd day of J-uly an average of eighty pick- crs moved over the field for 2'3 days, gathering the ripest, and loveliest strawberries one has ever had the ornortunlty to behold. To give an example of growth, one sample was given to the writer which contained ten berries gro\v- ing from a single hull. Undoubt- edly it was an unusual one. but in general all the berries were of fine color, shape and size, in- dicating that Mr. Maclntyra has chosen an excellent variety to grow. yielding some 6.000 boxes to an aore. On the last day the pick- era totalled up the 50,000 box mark. which was gamered by six pickings over the same acreage. Approximately half the total yield was sold to the local cannery un- der the management o! Mr. Leon Johnston, who canned the berriw, and also made strawberry preserve. A word here might be inserted on the valuation of this new, grow- ing industry which employed over 160 for the growing season. To- gether with the pickers and the 60 some employed at the canning fac- tory. one may easily realize what importance this industry is to the people of Montague and. vicinity. al-l of whom benefit from the added employment which this in- dustry la giving to the residents.

The remainder of the crop was BNPped to various points through the Charlottetown Strawberry Growers Association of which Mr. MacIntyre is a director. Besides the 1,000 boxes sold locally to citi- zens. many trays each containing l0 boxes were shipped by refri- gerator cars to Montreal, flown to Boston and New York and trucked to Sydney. N.S., with a truck leav- ing Charlottetown daily carrying 6.000 boxes from the Charlotte- town exchange which has some so growers throughout the Pro- vince. Although strawberries is his principal crop, Mr. Maclntyre has 40 acres of hay, I! acres of grain. and ten acres potatoes on his large farm which comprises 240 acres. Throughout the season many tourists from various parts of thc country. particularly Ontario, went lo see Mr. Macfntyrei berry fields many of whom had never seen such large production even in On- tario. Such initiative and enter- prise is to be duly commended and the citizens wish Mr. Mae- Intyre every success in this field.

Massey . Commission Begins Ottawa Hearings

. [tam large halls for

By Herold Morrison

OTTAWA, Aug. 3 -(OP) — The Massey Commission on Art and Science Development today fired two hours of questions as it prob- ed into functions of the National Museum and its relationship to Canada's cultural needs.

Before it adjourned-to hold hearings on the National Gallery Friday-tho commission heard from director Dr. F.J. Alcock of proposed plans for turning the natural history exhibits centre into "one of the world's great museums" through allocation of added space and more Federal Government funds.

The five ccmmissioners. headed by Rt. Hon. Vincent Massey. ohan- cellor of the University of Toronto. showed lively interest in the pos- slbllity of bringing the museum to the people by means of travelling exhibits and greater use of museum publications.

As the commission opened its hearings, Peter Wright of Toronto. the commission's legal counsel. des- cribed what may prove to be the most important role of the art and science body.

He said creation of the com- mission w-as “a new step forward along the path of Canadian unity and development of Canadian con- sciousness . "

Three museum - expanding pro- posals were placed before the com- mission by Alcock.

1. ‘Transfer of the geological survey offices. housed in the mus- eum since 1910, to some other building. Dr. GB. Hume, Re- sources Department director, who followed Dr. Alcock in testimony before the commission. said this would be done either next fall or winter.

Dr. Alcock said this would free

“down on sick-leave

exhibition purposes and would be sufficient to expand the museum during the next five or 10 years.

2. To make the museum "one of the world's great museums", the next. step would be to remove the National Gallery which takes up one side of the museum. That would provide space ample for the next quartercentury or more.

3. Later. if there were need for further expansion. and Dr. Alcock had in mind the construction of a. children's museum, two buildings could be erected on either side of the present building and connect- ed by underground tunnels.
