IlA'I'!'. OF CUTTING

Goud management endeavours to keep as much of the free stock .5 possible in the tut-iirowins grape, so that the growth rate of the stand is high. As certain FOO! becnmc older and the growth rate slows down they should be used.

it the woodlot is cut too heavily. and vigorous young trees IT! M moved along with the older ina- ture timber, future growth ' rate will be substantially reduced. A stand of fast-growing young trees iiiny be compared to a reserve of capital which pays n hish rate of interest. If Iiay are out too soon the interest, or growth. ceases and the woodlot forest is reduced to a stand of seedlings and bushes. An- other reason for leavin the ous young trees lies the act that it hardly pays to cut them. So little usable wood is obtained from the -i-and-5-inch trees that its value hi the pile is often less than the coat of euttin . when labour must be hired. - Richards.

Rodney. a new variety of oats developld st the Coral Breeding Laboratory in Winnipeg. is receiv- ing much publicity at the present time. Tests indicate that it is well suited to Ontario and Western Que-, bec-.hiit elsewhere in Eastern Can- ada it has not proved too satis- fsctmy in the Maritimes particu- lnrlry. Rodney made a very poor showing in 1953 and 1954 tests. Yields were low in both years and the 195-1 crop iiuflcrcd heavy dam- age from Septnria black stem dis- ease. in view of this performance Rodney cannot be recommended for the Maritimes and certainly not for Prince Edward Island.

ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION

The basic reason for the com- mercial use of Artificial Insemina- tion is to rapidly improve the We, quality and productivity of cattle. Also to extend the use lllilh grade and sometimes proven sires to herds which are unable,

for economic . , to maintain a good quality bull. The consumption of dairy and beef

prodiirts has been lncreasln while there is little possibility rats- in: the caite population at a similar rate. is necessary. there- fore. that the overall production level should be raised by increas- ing llie production potential and efficiency of individual However. the added practical ad- vnntnues inherent in the use of Artificial Insemination are so num- eroiis that the farmer may employ the services of a Centre for any one of a number of reasons. -

The cost of purchasing or ear- ing for even one bull. plus the ex- NINE! of maintenanc . homing. feeding, etc.. is quite considerable. The comparative costings favour lhocommeroial Artificial Insem- ination services. Further. lhl buy- lls of bulls and disc them innevu-ending pi-ac csiatbe

DIABETES

It is estimated that there are 130,000 diabetics in Canada. plus a further group of 70,000 diabetics who have not yet been discovered. For those diabetics who are aware of and who treat their disease. the outlook is increasing- ly favorable. Those in whom the disease is undetected. however. face a much more sombre out- look. since uncontrolled diabetes is a forerunner of many injurious and frequently irreversible con- ditions. particularly in the heart. blood vessels and liver.

Diabetes now ranks seventh among the leading causes of death in Canada. In P. E. I. in 1053 there were five deaths from diabetes.

If it were not for the discovery of insulin by Banting and Beat the situation would be vastly worse.

The present outlook for diabe- tics is distinctly hopeful. Insu- lin is necessary under medical counsel. Diet restrictions are few. Occupati are plentiful. even if somewhat restricted. Life on- pectancy isn't as great as that on the non-diabetic. but increas- in . Life can be fairly normal. e insurance can now be had. Can diabetes be prevented? Di- abetes is a disease of middle- age. Two-thirds of diabetes de- velop the condition after 40; one- third after lib. The great majority of them are overweight. it is ex- ceptional for a thin individual over 40 to get diabetes.

Recent research indicates that the accumulation of excess weight may actually induce diabetes h people who have diabetes in their families. What is inherited is the tendency to diabetes. not the disease itself. so a real measure of prevention I to keep your weight down to normal. particu- larly after 40. This is good ad- vice anyway. for many disorders of the heart and circulation stem from overweight.

BIIOISIDQIII

In Memoriam

There passed peacefully away at the Sacred Heart Home. Char- lottetuwn, on January liith. Mrs. Michael Ready. formerly of Tig- niah. She was born at Nail Pond on February 7. 1860, and was approaching her 95th year when the call came. She was the dough- ter of Patrick Clohossy and Jo- hanna Foley. She and her husband moved into Tigniah about 40 years ago and were very happy in a very comfortable home. where she kept boarders, among whom were Senator Murphy, D. McBride. Frank Slgsworth and three young men who later be- came priests, Rev. Father Dal- ton. Rev. Frank Nelligan, S..l., and her grandnephew Rev. How- ard Shed. S.F.M. Everyone received a warm wel- come at her home and were al- ways pleased to call there. In church work she was very zea- loua and ever ready to do her full share. About four years ago her age and failing health caused her to leave her happy home and come to Charlottetown. where at the Sacred Heart Home she made many i friends. She leaves to mourn. three step- daughtcrs. Mrs. Angelina Foley. Mrs. Anselm O'Brien and Mrs. Merton Fortune; also a step-son. Wilfred Ready. in the United States. Two brothers and two sis- ters died before her. and one sis- ter, Mrs. Annie Gaudet, still lives. She had twenty (20) nep- hews and nieces. among whom is Rev. Sr. M. Camillus of the S. H. Home. who was as a good mother to her during her pro- lon ed illness there.

or funeral took place to Saints Simon and Jude Church at Tigniah, where Mass was of-: fered by her venerable pastonl Rev. John A. McDonald. while. Rev. Dennis Gallant assisted in the choir. i The funeral was very largely attended.

Pallbearers: John P. Wallace. Howard McCue, Wilfred Shea. Alfred Ciobosaey, Edward Gand- cite. Joseph MacDonald.
