lllolewing is the text of the ad- dress delivered at the opening of the Agriculture Council Conference this week by Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Minister of Asriouiturez

"The normal policies of the Pro- vincial Depairtmerit of Agriculture have been fully detailed in previous reports presented to this Confer- ence, and it will not be necessary to deal at this time with these policies. other than to state that our Field Service. supplemented by tempor- ary employees, has rendered a valu- able contribution to our Extension Services. There has been a consist- ent build-up of existing policies in the production and organlzal-l0I18l phases of work.

"During the year a number of new activities have been undertak- en. The Department supplied fin- ancial assistance to grain growers during the period in which the crops were attacked by cutwor-ms. and the prompt action taken in this respect undoubtedly offset serious losses that might have otherwise occurred.

"Junior activities were OXIDMIGE0 through special features such as tours and Field Days. and a central Calf Club competition held in Sep- tember at the Exhibition Grcunds was so successful that plans are now underway to make a centraliz- ed two-day event, involving all Junior activities. an assured pro- ject for the year 1961.

"A remodelled Leadership Course, held during the present month. bas- ed on student participation and in- voiving training in social activities. proved higlhly satisfactory. and -painted the way to distinctive im- provements in future activities of this kind.

Cheviot Breeding Ewes

"An important addition to the livestock interests of the Province was the importation of twenty-fc-iir head of Cheviot breeding ewes from Scotland. These ewes have been placed in the hands of twelve far- mers and will serve as the nucleus of breeding units for the improve- ment of the sheep industry of the Province.

”lncreased assistance has been rendered in forwarding Prince uEd- ward Island exhibits to outside Ex- hibitions. The reocrd of island cat- tle. hogs. poultry, mid field crops. at the Maritime and Royal winter Fairs, was ample justification of the money and labor expended in this respect.

"it was intended to have a vet- etinafy policy in operation for the Province in 1960. but CW1"! 1" scarcity of eligible veterinarians it was decided to delay the establish- ment of this service. This matter is still under investigation and under normal conditions it may he safcly assumed that this service will be provided in due course.

'”I'he Department of Agriculture gave assistance during the year 1950 to students who attended the Gra- ham Scientific school for Animal Breeding field at Newark. New Jersey. Great satisfaction was ex- pressed regarding the value of this training by all participants. and the training thus received by young farmers selected from various parts of the Province should be of intSl-i- mable value to the livestock indus- try. Temporary assistance was also supplied in tho work undertaken at the Provincial Agricu'xl.um1 Lziliorzi- tory. '

Grain Silage

”'llhe Department has underl.ak- an an aggressive bra.-Lise regarding grass silage anrl about one liunrlreri and twenty-five tons of grass were saved in a pit silo nt Falconwoon Farm. Feeding of this excellent roughage was started on the Falcon- wood hard in August and there will be a sufficient supply to last until the last of February or perhaps la- ter. The experiment has indicated n sucessful departure in cattle nut;'it- lon. and has in2ilCl'If1iIy rcclucecl op- erational costs.

In addition pca. (int. and vcfcli. and corn silage. have been produc- ed, and have added a large volume of acceptable feeding iiiatcrisvls to the farm supplies. lniproveinerit in pasture techniques have also been undertaken. along -with the seeding of fall rye. which has been utiliz- ed as a soil cleaner and fertllizcr. Plans are under way to expand uu' studies regarding all these develop- merits.

Feed Seed Survey

"During the year a field seed survey was conducted and samples of grain were semi-ed out of scecl d-rllls in actual practise. one hun'l- red and fifty-four samples of 0.115. ninety-three of mixed grain. six of barley, and six of wheat were col- lected. These were properly reL':rd- ed and tested for grade and gor- mliiation.

The number of .x:ixi1l5'-95 K1'MIl'l-' No, 1 wcrc pitlahly small. The grc.il.. bulk went into the ”ReJecL" clzi . chicny because of weed seeds. If i.-- rather singular that the bulk of the samples were either hand or power cleaned find the i-esiilfs would show that there is a gencrnl 'lIl(I unfortunate i'filt0IE'SSllP.sb in ihe operation of -Willi cienning equip- ment.

The question of better seed for Prince Edward Island fnmrers rests primarily "-VILII the farmer liimsrlr. This Council. licivcxvr. iii 00iiaImr- ailon with both Federal and Pro- vincial 1)s'pai'mieiii.s of Agrivullurc. can do a J01) on t-duration.-ii work and the I.Il1pl'DY9nl9ilI- of 0poratirii- al activities in cleaning plant:-. There would sccm to be very little justification in this day and mm why a farmer siiould be seeding out over one million weed seeds per nrl'." in his seed grain. Nevertheless. that has been ascertained to be an actual fact in some cases.

Marki-ting Prncilsr-s

An intensive study of nuu'kctiri; practises has been undertaken nml distinctive improvomeiiis in the marketing of farm products lias been established. Dairy producers have drawn closer together in a common attempt to sell butt:-r and cheese on a cooperative basis. Cold storage facilities have been estab- lished at Charlottetovwi and the packaging of butter in an attractive one pound print liasreceived fa- vourable market recognition. Strum: educatioiral programs have Iiefli conducted among the farm people. and a potato Marketing Board has been launched and is now cperatlnz. "The trend is strongly in favour of further activities. aimed at im- provement in quality and market- ing practises. The application of inspection Services. and the grading of fruits and vegetables on the domestic market. has favourably in- fluenced the quality of farm pro- ducts handled through retail clum- nels.

”Aside frcm further iiecdfui dr- velopments in marketing practises there is obviously a great field of work in production that requires further investigation. The whole system of catnip brcerling is calliiuz for a drastic overhauling. while an impmved field crops prograni is awaiting immediate action.

”'f'liese problems are on our door- step and knocking for admission to these Ocuiiclis. They are a challenge in this Conference. and m,all -.viio profess in be leaders in Agi'Imiilui'hi and Extension Services in this Pro- vlnoe."

Let's Talk it Over

A Prince County Viewpoint

The "Stop-and-Go Boys" are one of the latest developments at Suninierside High School. Motor- ists who two months ago drove with considerable trepidation down the sections of Summer and Green Streets which face the school lest thoughtless urchins run di- rectly uito the path of their cars, have no such fear any more. Mem- bers of the Grade VIII classes have been organized into a Traf- fic Safety Patrol.

The patrol rigged out in bright yellow storm coats with' "School Safety Patrol-AAA" prominently displayed on the back. carry out their duties with efficiency. and the rest of the student body co- operate splendidly, obeying with- out question every order signall- ed while the patrol is on duty.

Seven cardinal sins against traffic sale!-y are impressed on the students: I Crossing against a patrol member's signal. II Cross- ing in the middle of the block. III
