AMONG THE FARMERS ~

Federation of Agriculture Newsictter

VERY CLOSE The passenger plane which made a faulty landing at Malton irport Sunday was carrying five officials of the Farm Broadcast

making contracts with the officers of both active and inactive Farm Forums and in any communities where there are prospects of de- velopment

In a general way it'is hoped to develop a program whereby the farm forums will be used as con- -tact groups for extension workers , ‘who are interested in contacting - farm people on whatever promo- tion may be indicated. As an ’ ¢ndication of the results of farm forum one of these groups in Kings County has inspired an ex- tremely successful 4-H club and in addition organized through the credit union the purchase of a large thrasher for use on a com- munity basis.

All in all farm forum prospects are beginning to look up and with the holding of the Provincial Committee’s annual meeting on October 14 the show should be getting well on the road.

TOBACCO PROSPECTS

Tha Financial Post for last week contains an article on the pros- pect of tobacco becoming a ma- jer crop and an important part of \the Maritime economy. The article suggest that recent experi- ments in growing and curing to- bacco indicates the possibility o° developing in the Maritime pro vinces a 30 million dollar indus-

try.

Should this be the case no doubt some, perhaps even most of the production can be located in this province.

Tobacco growing requires somc special skills and a considerable investment as well. Long term in- dications are for it continuing tc be a profitable crop with increas- ing demand.

AGRIC. STUDENTS Of the ninety-three students tak- ing first and second year agricul- ture at the Nova Scotia Agricul- * tural Colege, seven are from Prince Edward Isand, nineteen from New Brunswick and four- teen scattered among Newfound- land, Quebec, VWamaica, Santz Lucia, Trinidad and Kenya. The balance of fifty-three being Nova Scotians. : F Im the second year degree class: are: E.S. Banks, Conway Station; N.J. Beaton, Summerside; anc HG. Coffin, Mt. Stewart. In th first year class are: R.L. Clay, Charlottetown; Jean LeLacheur, Georgetown; J.A. MacDonalc Glenfinnan: W. McCardle, Ki- kora, This is the largest class for some years but certainly there i still room for more Islanders.

HIGH PRICES The Maine Artificial

sale of bred heifers. Predomir- ating were the Holsteins which averaged well over $300 and many of these were grades. In fact a grade heifer topped the sale at over $500 and a number were ‘over $400. It is significant that

. these heifers were all vaccinated for bangs disease. This marke is not so far from Prince -Ed- ward Island and our breeders mizht do very well to be thinking in terms of getting into it.

POTATO DIGGING

This week finds potato digging’ well underway with very favor- able weather for at least the firs part of the week. There are re- ports of sound crops and crop with considerable blight. General- ly the crop is expected to be somewhat lighter than was the case last year. Certainly August with its absence of sunlight w not favorable to potato growth. Two fine weeks should see th great bulk of the crop harvested.

There i¢ still a quite substanti2’ acreage of grain to be saved an¢ there js still some hay remaining in the fields to be gathered up.

evenly distributed county wise.

When on the night of the Harvest Exhibition the winners received their prizes, it was noted that they were practically all young farm- ers.

The provincial champion, Ster- ling MacRae of Brookfield is quite a young man who has already ta- | ken an active part in community | and provincial affairs. Runner-up | for the province A.S. MacEwen } of Stanley Bridge proved that he has mastered the art of pasture | improvement, Listed below are the winners:

Prince County — 1. Urban Gal- lant, Urbanville; 2. Elmer Waugh, Wilmot Valley; 3. Walter Ber-| nard, Freetown. |

Queens County — 1. AS. Mac-| Ewen, Stanley Bridge; 2. Sterling | MacRae, Brookfield; 8. Sterling | Wood, Mt. Herbert.

Kings County — 1. Ernest Un- derhay, Eglington; 2. Thomas| Cullen, Midgell; 3. George Ken-| nedy, New Perth.

The weekly meeting of Trinity Y.P.U. was opened: by worship service lead by the president, Bob Stead. The meeting was then called to order and the business conducted.

The program was led by Rev. R.S. Latimer and was en- titled Missions and World Organ- izations. He bri told of some of the impo missionaries throughout the world. The group divided into four and discussed six questions.

For recreation the four teams played shuffle board in the social hall. The meeting was adjourned with Taps.

Woodleigh Coins Added To Total

The 94 pounds of coins dropped into the ‘Wishing Well’ at Col. E.W. Johnston's showplace, “Woodleigh’’ in Burlington, when coumted at ‘Red Cross Headquar- ters amounted to $448.20.

This splendid sum is being credited to the 1959 carhpaign and will be a wonderful ‘boost to the receipts to date which are still only about 87 per cent of the obj- ective of $29,500.

Every year the coins dropped into the ‘‘Wishing Well” have in- creased in proportion to the num- ber of visitors, and this year’s re- sults have topped them all as there were 20,000 visitors at Wood- leigh during the past summer.

Truman Was Not Roosevelt Choice

WASHINGTON (AP) esentative James Roosevelt (Dem.-Calif.) says his father, Franklin D. Roosevelt, ‘‘didn’t|* give a damn’’ whether Harry Truman was chosen as his run- ning mate in his 1944 bid for a fourth term in the White House. * The eldest son of the late president says he believes his father ‘“‘really preferred” Su- preme Court Justice William 0. Douglas the No. 2 man on the ticket.

FDR's purported Yack of inter- est had fateful consequences.

Political experts agree that the wartime president could easily have swung his own choice for a running mate. As it turned out, Truman won the vice-presidet- tial nomination and ‘succeeded to the presidency when death took Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Ga., April 12, 1945. Truman went on to serve nearly two full terms.
