to seed out trans and clover mix- tures' with grain as a nurse crop. We have heard the statement made that the nurse crop was really a wicked uncle crop. Cer- tainly I heavy crop of cats pro- vides .pretty stiff competition for the tender seedlings.

We know that some farmers are seriously considering seeding out their fields after the grain has been harvested. It is quite possible that this practice might produce better stands of clover and grass. It is certainly worth trying.

Nova. Scoiia Chicken Barbecue

As a means of advertising and

promoting the sale of broilers the Nova Scotla Farmers Association is planning the biggest chicken barbecue ever held in the prov- ince. , The event will be staged at the Nova. Scotia Agricultural College and active committees are now working out the plans.

Iihrm Forum Comraittee Meet

Last Friday the provincial Farm mrum. Committee met to receive a report of the years work and make plans for next years act-

ltles.

Satisfaction was expressed by the Committee over the ration of 46 new forums last year, but concern was also evident due to the fact that a substantial num- ber of last years Forums had ceased to function or had tram- ferred their activities to other fields of endeavour.

The Committee felt that along with the Department of Agricult- ure and the Federation of Agri- culture that the assistance of oth- er Departments and groups inter- ested in Education should be en- listed in promoting this valuable project.

It was agreed that as many committee and Forum members as possible should arrange to at- tend the National Conference at Amherst on June lidth. 15th and 16th.

As a feature at the conclusion of the conference. plans are be- ing made to entertain visiting delegates from other provinces on Prince Edward Island over the week-end.

Displaced Persons

Numbers of displaced persons oi various European nationalities are arriving in the province and are being allocated to farmers. These persons will assist in improving a very difficult labor situation. but in many cases farmers will have difficulty in training men un- familiar with farm work. We won- der lf immigration and other gov- ernment officials realize the con- tribution which many farmers are making in training and assisitlng

such persons to become useful Canadian citizens. Menrlaer ” (Jampal

Industry and capital have been able to influence governments in developing favourable policies through personal contacts with cabinet members and the span- soring and assisting of political parties.

Labor. through unions that were not built up over night and have had in most cases. for many years the unswerving loyalty and fin- ancial support of members has gained a. position where fair treat- ment and recognition of the lab- oring man's rights can be en- forced.

Agriculture had only until a few years ago, 'a single weapon, that of numbers to use in influencing government policies. Snce 1935 farmers have realized that these numbers could only be a strength if welded into a. strong organizat- ion. Out of this realization grew the Federation of Agriculture which can be effective in promot- ing the interests of agriculture directly in proportion to the sup- port it receives from individual farmers. Farmers who believe in the future of agriculture as a business and 1 way of life support their Federation. No other major organization asks so little in the

National Meetings

The semi-annual meeting of the CJ'.A. will be held at MacDonald College. St. Ann de Bellevue. com- mencing Monday. August 6th. Previous to this conference a Net- ional Poultry Conference will be held on August 2nd in Ottawa. This conference will dismiss the setting up of National poultry machinery and also consider uniform poultry marketing processes for each province.

On August 3rd s-National hog conference will be held by the lndustry to analyse conditions and plan for the future.

Registration of Potato Growers

Last spring the Federation re- quested the Potato Marketing Board to undertake the registrat- ion of Potato Growers with a view 'to compiling information which would assist in the more efficient and orderly marketing of the crop.

It is our underpianding that this registration will be proceeded with in the near future. The pur-

. pose of such registration is to as-

sist the industry and not to ham- per it Veterinary Policy 3T1": Livestock farmers have. no doubt. been pleased at the recent announcement by the Department of Agriculture that 4 veterinarians have agreed to, set up practices, we understand at O'Leary. Sum- merside, Charlottetown, and Mon- .tague. Such a service will fillga long felt want and is essential to the prop-

er functioning of our livestock industry. Aside from the actual treat-

ment of animals. such veterinar- ians can be of assistance in pro- moting livestock policies and in directing interest to more Mficient methods of handling llvestoek.

Strange But True

37 F. H. MacArthur

The poorest peasant girl in all Russia was every bit as happy as the Grand Ducheu Marie who went through life with an infer-

iority complex, loveless, and so poor, she never owned a pair of silk stockings until after she'd been married. Sounds incredible. doesn't it? '

Marie's mothe died when Mar- ie was a mere infant. Then her. father married I. commoner and was banished from Russia and had his property confiscated. This royal princess of Russia was brought up by English tutors who had been instructed to keep the child ignorant of her high social standing. This they succeeded in doing. Later the young princess went to live with a tight-fisted uncle and a jealous aunt, both of whom begrudsed her the bite she ate and. the coarse clothes she wore. Finally she married. Not for love, however. but rather for the privilege of wearing her first pair of silk stockings. Think of it!

Switzerland has a railway over which trains run 8 1-4 miles and reach a place 3 1-2 miles away. Sounds bombastic. I know. but here are the facts: This remark- able stretch of track runs from Bergum to Freda. The two towns are only 3 1-2 miles apart. but Preda is 1366 feet higher than Bergum. Leaving Bergum, the line describes a huge double bend and starts a climb along the side of the valley until it is nearly level with the river. The track then crosses over and enters a spiral tunnel in the opposite side of the mountain. leaving the tunnel, the train recrosses the river and disappears into a second spiral tunnel. The line recrosses the river and enters the third spiral tunnel directly above the second, and so on through the fourth tun- nel to Preda.

The Royal Gorge on the Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail- road has an amazing stretch of track, or rather a double track in sections, which rim on either side of the river in order to find enough space on the rocky ledges. What railway runs 166 miles out to sea? It is known as the "Key West Extension." and runs from Miami, Florida, towards the Gulf of Mexico, ending near Key West. This unique railway crosses 47 islands enroute and has four gaps which had to be bridged with treaties and concrete arches. The track is 25 feet above sea. level. I I took the Journey in 1934, and it was quite thrilling, the train running along on solid ground and the spray of the ocean driving in through the open windows. No. where else in the world is there a. railway comparable to the Key West Line. because of its length and the fact that it actually runs in the, sea.
