guest of our most iordly upland game bord . . . . the miffed grouse.

Last fall in the i/wo weeks 09¢“ season he bagged 9 of those grand game birds and v/hiie he was hunting the grouse he shot, 7 big

tom cats. Several of these were_

killed over 3 miles from any habitation and were twice as large as ordinary cats. In I0 doing this sportsmen rid the youhs Blouse. und old ones too, oi seven of their greatest enemies and‘ was thus responsible for saving many more grouse then he put in his game beg,

The Horned owl is another bitter enemy oi our Ruffed grouse. Too often I have stumbled across tell-tale evidence o! their destruct- ivc work. The crow is another black villain who accounts for more black ducks every spring, in the form of eggs and young duckllngs, then are legally killed by hunters in the fail open season. Gunners ‘can do a lot toward making up for the ducks they shoot by destroying every crows nest they can find and wiping out the parents as well. l

In hunting crows care should be exercised in the selection of a hunting ground. It is advisable to steer clear of duck marshes or their immediate vicinity, Crows may be drawn from such areas by the placing out of offal, such as the entrails of butchered live stock, gt some distance from where the ducks are hatching. After the crows have fed on the bait for a few days a hide may be built and scitne snappy and sporty shooting enjoyed. Especially so if one gets placed in position before daybreak. When it comes to shooting at n tricky target the block duck is a cinch compared to a darting, twisting crow that is missed by the first barrel or spots you before you have time to fire the first shot. If you don't believe me try it some time. '

‘The game was fast and wide .open all the way, with the play raging around one goal mouth and then the other, with both goalies, Schurman and Sprague, doing a nice Job of net minding.

imethodsof handling, etc.,_we re- commend that. the Act of May 23,, 1940 be enforced. This Act, per- tldiflng to the licensing of all lint receivers poultry products states in part: “No person slull carry on a business as a first re- ceiver of poultry products unless he is the noldc; of a valid and subsisting license issued by the Minister and authorizing hicn to conduct such business."

"It is further recommended that truckers of poultry products be re- quired to arrange, through the medium of refrigeration, or by other means, for the retention of quality of prod/tic! ufhliist err-route."

"That the production: program for 1948 be maintained as in 1947. The advances announced in Brig- ish Contract prices favour the production of fall eggs. Strict at- tention ahould be given to culling and feeding practices, and the use of labour saving devices. The pur- chase of early hatched chicks would seem tn be indicated, as fall eggs are the most rccnumeratlvc."

. tllh Contract

"Ill s’ recommendations tending to the improvement of the industry" the report states, "your committee has kept in mind the findirlzs of the Dominion Provinc- ial Corilference held at Ottawa. This body, after due deliberation stated when referring to’the ‘out- look for- 1948 ‘this means the pup. cihase of the same number of chicks at the srme date, or earlier, than

lost. year.’

In view 0d’ British (Xmtract Prices, referred to aibove. we are in agreement with this recom-

mendation and would stress the advantage of early hatched chicks in order to profit by higiher prices paid under these contracts for fall eggs, that is from September 1948 to January 1949.

Believing that increased effici- ency is the keynote of success, your coermiittee makes the follow- ing suggestions:

“With proper attention todeiaila in care and management, we be- lieve that sazncwlhat larger flours imight prove to be more efficient and make greater economic re- turns for: moneys invested than- d-oes the 60-10-100 bird flocks now comnon in this Province. A sug- gested minim/loan is 200 layers.

“We believe that lack of suitable and adequate housing facilities, particularly laying house occcmo- datlon, is in this Province, one of the most acute problems effecting economic production. In view of tihlis, encouragement should be given to the provision of satisfact- ory and properly equipped housing units, Factors effecting the hous- ing problem such as insulation, venrtilatinn, Dabour saving devices, adequate nesting space gnd floor space, freedom from drafts, etc. should be brought to the attention of producers with definite inform- ation made available as to the ad- ditional efficiency accruing through the adoption of these lac-tors.

“As o, means of answering many problems re rousing, it is strongly

recommended that a new laying house be erected at the Experi- bo mental Station, Charlottetown.

This housing unit should be of the double deck type, at least 30x70 feet in aise, l0 feet being taken up by feed and storage room. Various factors should be featured, such as ventilating system, lndlllfltéd walls, proper flocc- arrangement, manna-c pits versus no pits, running water with e/uwmatzic fountains, etc.

"In recent years thee-e has been introduced into this Prcvlncemam breeds and cross-bred; not former- ly found here. In view of the con- fusion arising in tllie mdnds of many flock owners as to the relat- ive merit of many of these, we believe the time opportune for making u-reful ocuvoeriaom oiiiho economy of production within nearly of these breeds and crosses. We reconlmend that such work be mlderta/ken at the Experimental Station at an early date."
