An event of outstanding irnport- ance to the Ayrshire breeders of Prince Edward Island will be the sale of breeding stock which is scheduled to be held in Charlotte- town on May 28th. This is the first feature of this kind that the Ayrshire men have tried in this Province. and if successtui would probably result in an Annual Sale being held.

An outstanding group of ap- proximately twenty-five (25) fe- males have been selected. and these will represent the herds of the majority of the’ breeders in this Province. In making the selections the Committee kept in mind the desirability of offering only high class animals that would be suitable for new breed- crs to use as a nucleus for a herd. They also kept in mind the publicity that would result from a breeder offering a good individual.

It is the hope of the Prince Ed-

ward Island Ayrshire Breeders’ Association that a sale of this kind will create additional inter- est ln the breed in this Prov- ince. and that many of these fe- males will go to establish new herds. It is quite apparent from inquiries that have been receiv- ed by different persons that there is a demand for Ayrshire breed- ing stock, and by assembling a group of this kind it should bene- fit both the buyer and the seller. The females offered in this Sale will consist of animals from nine months to two years of age. or a little better. Many that are offer- ed are heifers that are due to freshen shortly after the date of the Sale, and are all ready to go to work for those who purchase them. - The Ayrshire Breeders are to be commended for arranging a Sale of this‘kind, and all that will be needed is the support of the buyers to ensure success for the Sale.

Poultry New:

The Poultry outlook for 1954 does not look good. The prices of commercial eggs has been low all season and there is not ex-

effect on the egg and poultry meat markets this summer. With eggs the price they are today poultrymen will likely send their fowl to market when production drops. This is expected in large numbers and so consequently glutting the market and lower- ing the price of fowl. The mar- ket for heavy roasters will like- ly be weak this summer with a possible strengthing in the late fall for the Christmas market. Poultrymen are advised to raise birds on a good pasture with clean fresh water present at all times. As for feed. your own oats and wheat along with a little bar- ley can be fed in a 70 to 30 ration with growing mash after the birds are fourteen weeks of age. In order to produce a bal- anced ration and yet use as much of your own grain as pos- sible. buy growing ,mash con- centrate and mix with your own grains to produce an 18 per cent protein ration.

We have approximately seventy Approved flock owners in P. E. I. supplying our local hatcheries. These ﬂocks are blood-tested for Pullorum and are under govern- ment inspection throughout the year.

The chicks from our registered hatcheries are all R. O. P. Sired and of a fine quality.

It is a good practise to pur- chase a new flock of pullets each year as year old hens lay 25 per cent less eggs and have a much higher mortality.

The following approved flock owners had a hatchability be- tween 89 and 80 per cent during April 1st - 24th, 1954 season. The percentage figures are given af- ter each name:

Ralph Raynor 89 per cent: Ivan Dawson 86 per cent; Athol Ro- berts 86 per cent; Elmer Waugh 86 per cent; Albert Stetson 86 per cent; Melvin Hyde 86 per cent; Lloyd Burns 85 per cent; Ralph Raynor 85 per cent: Alvin Maclsaac 85 per cent; Mrs. H. Waugh 84 per cent; Calvin Mac-
