For this family it has been a great haying. Never before in memory has so much been mow- ed and made and gathered in harvest, in so short a time. The weatheruwhat perfect. days there were tor it. . .haying — sun and breeze, and good health to wait on them to make it altogether ideal.
The trailerdmower which t h l 5 year took the place of the mow- ers formerly used at the mow- ing, contributed much, indeed amazineg to the progress of the Work, leaving the farmers well satisfied with this addition to the machinery of the farm. It, as one of the younger genera- tion had anticipated of it hatpA Dilly, “knocked it down" in style, thus contributing more time to the making, and tor the farmers to attend to other phas- es of the endeavour.

Pretty And Sweet—You Know The One I Mean!
Then to own a hay-fork and carrier in the barn as well, to do away with the necessity of lifting the bundles by hand to the mow, was to be enviably equip— ped for its toils.
What changes there have been since in the machinery of hay— ing! And what added improve- ments and changes therel is bound to be through the years ahead. We doubt that -even the most speculative could even envision them in part.
“Will the pelleting of hay be- come a common farm-practice" one interested reflects. f‘Or of more immediate interest, will hay conditioners or stem crush— ers prove their worth in the hay fields of eastern Canada?” "
(Will balers, we wonder, have

Handicraft Exhibits Show Hand Of Women’s Institutes
Throughout its lenghty history in ’ Prince Edward Island, the Women’s Institute has always worked to promote the interests of Islanders in general and Its- land women in particular.
Just one of the many ambitw
ious projects which the P.E.I. W.I. has sponsored tor the bene- fit of the people of the province has been the management of the handitcraft‘exhitbits at the Provin- cial Exhibition. , " _
The history of the Women’s In- stitute participation in the Ex- hifbi-tion began in 1949 when the Institute petitioned the Provin- cial Government to replace the building which had previously been used for handicraft exhibits and which had been destroyed by fire some years earlier. W.I.‘t Members felt that the fire had' deprived the women of Prince Edward Island of their only op— portunity to receive recognition for their handicrafts. TOOK OVER
0n the. condition that the In— stitute members take charge of the displays, the petition was granted and the W.I. took over part of an existing building which they used to display handicrafts.
So in 1949 the huge task of re- ceiving, cataloging; displaying, and returning handicraft items was taken on by‘ithe Prince Ed- ward Island Women's Institute as a voluntary project
In that first year 2000 entries,
were received. Since then, the quantity of the exhibits has de- creased slightly but the quality has increased remarkably.
In 1949, the members experien— ced some difficulty in organizing the project but in ten years the procedure has become far more systematized. , fiHANDICRAFT VAN
Most Institute members feel that the credit for the impmve- ment in the quality of the exhibits is due. to the Handicraft ,Van. The Handicraft Van is another vol- :untary project of the PEI. W.I.
Best ,described‘ as a travelling handicraft class, the Van is equip- ped with sewing machines and weaving looms. The project, un— der the management of Miss Bertha DesRoches, was initiated so that country homemaiketrs, who are not able to attend home economics classes in Charlotte- town, might be able to get ex-
pert instruction in the handicraft arts. ‘
During its six years in operation the Handicraft Van has been in wide demand by the three hun- dred Institutes of the province.
The efficiency with which the handicraft display ,is managed may be credited to the executive of the P.E.I.’ W.I. and to the staff of the Women’s Institute of- fice“ ' , ‘ Miss Theresa MacLeod, super- visor of the Prince Edward Is- land Women's Institutes, and Miss Jessie Bingham, assistant super- visor, began their work in con nection with the handicraft dis— play long before the exhibit .be- gms. - ‘ , GETTING READY
Compiling; sending, ad receiv- ing entry forms, compiling judge sheets, and tabulating the results
of the competitions are among-
the tasks performed bythe com— petant stafif of the W.I. office. However, during Old Home Week the burden of management falls on the members of the provincial executive.
Representing all three Island counties, the executive consists of Mrs. Lloyd Wilkie, Alberton, president; Mrs. Murdock McGo- wan Kilmuir, past president; Mrs. R.L. Burge, St.\P‘eter’s Bay, Secretary; Mrs. Philip Matheson, OystertBed Bridge, first vice—
