Fzitiicr Gncte is in the Morl- timcs to study the co-operative movement rind its effect on the life of the people. He is a guest of St. Dunstan's University while here.

Attended by an unexpectedly large crowd of young farmers and farmercttes as well as a number not engaged in agriculture. the Fair was described by agricultural officials as very successful from every point of view.

And from every point of view they were right too. The live- stock exhibits in the morning were featured by both quality and quantity. The quality in the sewing. food and poultry classes was high and the public speak- ing contests in the afternoon drew the favorable comments of all.

One of the sharpest drops in any cost of living item in sev- eral years came yesterday when the price of hogs fell from 335.25 per hundredweight last Tuesday to 528.50 yesterday. The drop had an immediate reaction on the local retail market with the consumer saving up to 15 cents per pound on pork products.

The steep reduction in the price of pork is expected to be reflected in decreases in beef and poultry.

Main reason advanced for the sudden drop is that at this time of the year there is A heavy run of hogs to the packers and the price usually goes down. Mr. H. W. Clay, Senior Livestock Fleldman of the Dominion Dc- psrtment of Agriculture, said it was not unusual to see hog killings three and four times as heavy in October and November as in July and August.

A resolution iislrlng for some governmental solution to the problem of the pollution of the water at Murray Harbour by the starch fnctory was unanimously passed at the rinnunl meeting of the P. E. I. Fisheries Federation yesterday.

.II was claimed thut the pollu- tion destroyed the oxygen in the water and that lobsters were i:illcd from 8 to 14 minutes after they came in contact. Fishermen also claimed that due to the pol- lution of the writer they could not hold their lobsters for fu- ture mnrkct shipments and they. were forced to assemble them in small lots.

That the proposed one season for the fishing of lobsters would aid greatly in the control of pouch. ins and the taking of undersise lcbsters was the feeling of the In- nusl meeting of the P. l. 1. Fisher- ies Federation yesterday. However. on other grounds there was con- siderable opposition from differ- ent fishing areas of the Province.

several alternate solutions were proposed. including a suggestion by Rev. Eric Rabin. North Rustlco. that the fishermen do as the co- operative fishermen of his district do and impose self-fines for the taking of small lobstsrs.

Mr: A. Wiltneri osudet. sears- tiiry of the Federation, pointed out that on convictions for the offences the convicting maslst awn were useming fines of I nominal nat-
