(NEW CLASSES ADDED

The Guardien — The Fverine Patriot

Page 8-7. Females bors prior t July

There are a number of new developments this year that wil! |add a great amount of new in- terest to the Provincial Fxhibi- j tion here so far as the cattle en- tries are concerned.

There is always added interest when there is competition among the various breeds of cat- tle. Normally each breed of cat- tle shows on their own. but this year the inter-breeds best ud- dered cow class brings competi- tion among al! of the dairy classes.

There have been 15 dairy cows entered in this event and competition among the breeds will be exceptionally Keen as one seeks to outdo the other in this feature which is one of the most important in dairy. classes, so far as production potential is } concerned. | The competition for best |herdsman is another new fea- ture this year and six prizes ranging from a top of $75 to a low of $15 are being offered for the man who in the opinion of the board of three judges merits the award.

Considered for the herdsman's award are general neatness of the exhibit and the grooming of the animals—this is worth 50 points; and the remaining 50 points will be awarded on the basis of ‘courtesy of attendants and information provided by them to join visitors as well as other factors determined by the exhibition association.

ALL-DAY AFFAIR :

Judging of all of these factors will be done over an all-day op- eration, from seven in the mor- ning to 10 o'clock at night.

This: competition is for herds- men as they are the ones who have to be with the cattle throv- ghout the long day, though own- ers are eligible im the competi- tion in cases where they are also the herdsmen, as in the case with many Island herds.

To be eligible for this compe tition there must be at least six animals in the, exhibit.

The names of judges are mt released for this competition. | The -need for them —to—remaino anonymous is self evident.

The competition is for the hest display of cattle, not necessarily for the best quality of cattle in the show. It is open to beef as well _as-dairy classes.

HAYS FORMULA :

Also’ new this year is the fact that the Harry Hays formula will be used and it sharply re- duces the number of entries al- lowed for each exhibitor. This shouli produce much betier quality with the numbers cui drastically,

Exhibitors are limited to one entry per class, except In one class where two animals may | be shown.

To qualify for the inter-breed judder class a cow must have produced at least 125 percent of its breed class average in milk and fat through three lactations. Thus the animal has to be a proven producer as well as hav-

ing the udder conformation and |attachment, that will capture

gets attention

WASHINGTON (AP). —Water problems—a present crisfs in the U.S. northeast and a long- term source of American anx- jetv—get White House attention today.

President Johnson was to sten a $185,000,000 bill

iment's program to develop practical means of” desalting ocean water as a supplement to the overtaxed rivers, lakes and springs. \ Later, Johnsen was meeting with the governors, congres- sional’ delegations and mayors from four largely urban states that draw on the Delaware | River basin for water and may have critical shortages }mnext month because of the four- year drought now_afflicting the area. The states are New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware. r The —conference® was after Interior Secretary Stewart | Udall- reported that the cities-of ;New York, Pennsylvania. and New Jersey face a “water im- |passe’’ by early September. Although rains inthe last few days slightly eased the imme- diate crisis—New York City’s | reservoirs had a net gain for

ithe. first time in 67 days—there }was no prospect of a natural solution to the problem. Udall

“has said only a prolonged: series

of rains ora hurricane could do this.

‘GIRLS FAT NO EGGS

WHAT PRICE? One of the most

n

Interesting

Mayor Cox lays

| Livestock show broadened _to-create greater interest —

bits of speculation ip*this regard | 1s what price wil) the grand

champion and reserve grand champion steers bring when they are sold.

Normally the grand champion is named on the hoof and is sold alive as the grand champion. Prices here have ranged up to} $2.00 per pound for the top Steer of the show at the Easter Beef Show and Sale, which is the only: basis of comparison available here in Charlottetown.

But this time the buyers will | be buying a grand champion, or | a reserve grand champion as the case may be. At the time the sale is held nobody will know what steer will be the top anim- als of the show or the reserve animal

This way the buyer will have! solid protection, he'll know he is Zetting the hestcareass-of—t-h-e show. Often in the past his grand champion purchased on the hoof, went down as far as a half-dozen placings when he was judged on the rail.

LESS GLAMOR ‘

But this time there will not be the usual glamor of having the live animal wearing the big championship ribbons confront- | ing the prospective buyer as the auctioneer goes into his pitch. It will be interesting to see what happens

Prices received at such steer shows are the magnets that cause the best beef breeders and feeders in the province to enter some of the very best baby beefs in. the country. The men who have entered animals this year, and the exhibition people too, are hoping the price will stand up when the sale part of the show is held.

Some 544 head of cattle. have been entered for thie year's show which is considered a real- ly iarge number no that fae entries per exhibitor Have been decreased.

The Holsteins lead the list with 118 entries. there are 83 Ary- shires, 60 Guernseys and 59 Jer- sevs

The Dual Purpose Shorthorns are also classed as dairy and they have 57 entries. The Scotch or beef Shorthorns have 5] ant mals entered, the Angus %2 and the Herefords 34.

For the beef cattle, the new classifications provide for seven. breeding classes; which are: 1. Bull born between March 1, 1964 and April 15, 1964 (inclusive); 2. Bull born between April 16, 1964 and February 28, 1965 (inclus- ive’; 3. Bull born in 1963 and 1964-up to 28 February. 4. Fe- male with calf at foot— cow born in 1962 or earlier, calf born on or after March 1, 1965: 7. A group of four animals bred and owned by the exhibitor Both sexes must be represented. Each animal must be shown in one of the above classes.

EXTENDED BACKWARDS

It is proposed that the use of the ‘1-t March—to 28 of Febru- ary’ year will be estended hack- wards one year each year, thus in 1966 the birth period for year- lings will be 1st March-1965 to 28 February 1966.

In additidn, to qualify for the federal price money grants, an inter-breed steer class must be ffered._.This.class iste. be. judg-

day of judging of the beef breed- ing classes

The 1965 prize money schedul- es for the beef breeding classes and the inter-breed steer class are attached as Appendix 1. For the dairy cattle, the new classifications provide eight breeding classes, which are: 1. Bul! born between duly 1, 1964 and June30, 1965 (inclusive) and from a dam with at least one completed record with a mini- mum BCA. of 115 for milk; 2 Bull -born. between. .July- 1, -1963 and June 30, 1964 ‘inelusive) from adam with at least one completéd record -with a. mini- mum B.C.A. of 115 for milk; 3.
