1.223.000 pounds for the same per- iod last year. This is an increase of .000 pounds or approximate- ly percent.

It is difficult to make a report on the manufacture of cheese in this Province during that period of time as there is very little cheese made from January to the first of June. It would appear from observation. although there are no figures to confirm it, that our pro- duction this year will be much higher than last year. '

The stocks of butter held in Can- ada bave been on the increase as a inter-storage movement has taken place since May is. On May 1st the stock of cream butter held in Canada. which will no doubt represent the carry over. amounted to 63.ll05.000 pounds. This carry over was higher than last year by s mething over five million pounds.

e five year average stocks as of May in for the years 1951 to 1956 are 81. m.ooo pounds.

The stocks of butter held in Can- ldn oii June 1, 1956. amountgd to 09.511.M0 pounds and was higher than last year's total stocks by 1.5 million pounds.

It would appear as though the -outlook for creamery butter in this Province is good at the present time when we consider that the trend of production In Canada is much below that. of last year and

down 1.2 per cent.

The quality of our butter,ha.s been very well maintained for the past five months.According to the May. 1056, issue of the Dairy Products Review from November 28. I955. to April 25. 1956. 98.03 per cent of our butter was placed in first grade and 1.97 per cent in 4 grade. This record is very pleasing when we conside that approximately 90 per cent of our butter has been graded during that time.

Every creamery in the Province that has surplus butter over and above their print trade require- ments is presently selling this but- ter to th Agricultural Prices Sup- port Board delivered to the storage in Halifax or St. John at 58 cents per pound. Freight and handling charges will be deducted from this 58 cents when butter is stored in our Provincial storages.

The price of cheese has advanc- ed considerably this year. This ad- vance is due to an agreement made between the Producer-rnem- bers of the Milk Products Board in Ontario and the Bl1Yel”'m9m' bers of the safe board in Ontario. The agreement made on the 31st day of May. 1956. was that the minimum price to be paid by every cheese buyer for all cheddar cheese produced in Ontario and sold f.o.b. the cheese factory dur- ing the period from and includipl the 1st day of June. 1956. to and including the son. day 0' June. 1956. will be as follows:

Canada First Grade 32 cents Pt! pound.

Canada Second Grade 30 cents per pound.

Canada Third Grade zsvz cents per pound.

Below Canada Third Grade to be negotiated by as: R 59' tween the cheese factory and the Bellville. Brockville. Cornwall buyer. '

Reports of cheese board sales at Belville. Brockville. Cornwall and R ; 1lle indicate that the price of colored cheese in Ontario is anywhere between 33 and 3396 cents per pound. The price on the Montreal market is also strung- thened considerably with first

grade large colored cheese selling"

at SZV4 cents per pound.

Due to this agreement on INC?! between the producers and buyers in Ontario. the price of cheese will be advanced in this province at least 2 cents per pound over that of last year and possibly more. The wholesale price of cheddar cheese at the present time is in the vicinity of 34 cents per pound f.o.b. the factory.

The loveliest in the garden here are the yellow roses. -the first to bloom and very fragrant. The har- dy shrub rose named Agnes, a Canadian origination is always looked forward to in thd later days of June and it has never failed to cheer us for many :years. Planted on the south side of the home and where we can see and smell the fragrance when the windows are opened it does not require any care except to cut out the old wood and to mulch with rich earth.

THE SOUND OF SUMMER

Besides the singing and the cal- ling, therelis a peculiar sound which is only heard in,summer. Waiting quietly to discover what birds are about. I become aware of a sound in the very air. It is not the midsummer hum which will soon be heard over the heat- ed hay in the valley and over the cooled hills alike.

It is not enough to be called a bum, and does but justtremble at the extreme edge of hearing. If the i)s8l'lChES wave and rustle they overhear it; the buzz of a passing bee is so much louder it overcomes all of it that is in the whole field.

I cannot define it. except by calling the hours of winter to mind they are silent; you hear a branch crack as it rubs another in the wood you hear the boar frost crunch on the grass beneath your feet. but the air” is without sound in itself. The sound of summer is everywhere in the passing breeze. in the hedge. in the broad branch- ing trees. in the grass as it swings; all myriad particles that together make the summer are in motion.

The sap moves in the trees. the pollen is pushed out from grass and flower. and yet again these acres and acres of leaves and square miles of grass blades. are

drawing their strength from the

atmosphere. Exceedingly minute

as these vibrations must be, their number give them a volume al- most reaching in the aggregate to the power of the ear.

Besides the quivering leaf, the swinging grass," the fluttering birds Wing, and the thousand oval

"IL membranes which inumerabie in-

sects whirl about. a faint reson- ance seems to come from the very earth itself. The fervour of the sumbeams descending in a tidal flood rings on the strung harp of earth. It is this exquisite undertone. heard and yet unheard. which brings the mind into sweet accord- ance with the wonderiul instrumen of Nature. I - Jeffries. There are many flowers and shrubs to write about this week but

' my favorite shrub in bloom is

the Beauty Bush, and it is well named. Of course the butannical name is Kolkwitzia and it came from China. While upright in growth its branches at the ends are arching, almost pendulent. so that they cover the ground about them andnever look "leggy and bare. It is perfectly hardy any where, has excellent foliage and la a fountain of bellahaped, light pink flowers not unlike the Weigela. I must plant more of these lovely shrubs which do not require any :59 except pruning and mulch-

A dozen snowball shrubs are beautiful at this time. they were taken from an old shrub next door by layering and have now grown into large bushes making the gar- den 885' every year without any care except pruning of dead wood. It is possible to have a lovely gar- den of shrubs alone and for busy gardeners they are such a help.

When I returned to the garden after an absence of three days the shrubs were making the gay. den presentable, and the borders were overgrown with weeds and grass. However, after several days hard work it is looking much beg. ter and the evergreen hedges af. ter trimming are especia'ly neat and l 10V9l)' background to the flowers. The new growth on these hedges each year makes them beautifully fresh and green and they are the best feature of the garden. Garden visitors always re- mark on their beauty and wigh for some in their own gardens. They must know when, and how. they were planted and cared for through the years.

In our three days away from the garden we were on the look outpfor gardens and signs of gar- demng. Well tilled fields were not ed as we hurried by and this pas sage from Proverbs came to mind

I Went bycae field of the sloth ml. and by the vineyard of the man VUlCl of understanding: and l0. it was all grown over with thorns. and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stonewall thereof was broken down.

Small homes showed loving care wit. ' walk: edged with colorful pansies and shrubs bloomed by the doors. We followed the wide river noted for the salmon and some times a small tug pulled a large '3” 05 lilgs along.
