Production from these boss arics greatly from season to sea- on. New Brunswick. for example. eports a low of 21.000 lb. and a igh of 275.000 lb. per year during is last ten year period. It is also rue that the berries from these ogs lack the uniformity and col- ur of those produced on cultivat- d bogs' and are consequently at disadvantage from a market tandpolnt.

TM to be mgumirtgh f may seem rs sr or es- tablialng a cranberry area but at an average annual return of 0005.00 per acre- the venture would seem quite profitable. In this province we have many areas which are now producing some ctlllberrlel and which could be brought into good production at a very- low cost. in most cases all that is needed is some brush and weed control and an occasional insect dust. In some instances drainage is required but we have many other upland areas which could be cultivated and planted to cran- berries. With a low overhead such asgwouid be required for many areas is this province cranberry production could not help but be profitable.

Two varieties. Early Black and Howes. are town at Cumberland Point. The Howes have a slight advantage in yield and appear to keep better in storage but the Early Black have excellent col- our and ripen about ten days earlier than the Howes. This early maturity is an important factor because of the danger of fall frosts. Grasses have been the most com- mon weeds at this location. but good control has been obtained with kerosene sprays.

Further information on Cran- berry Production may be obtained on application to your nearest Ex- perimental station or local De- partment of Agriculture.

AN OUNCI OF PREVENTION Have you ever heard the expres-

sion "lets get our shoulder behind the wheel"? Not so long ago peo-

g pie in the Western Provinces got

their should "behind the wheel" and in a mighty, costly, effort stamped out that dread disease of cloveu footed animals - Foot and Mouth Disease. There is another expression which has a much more pleasing sound and which is usu- ally uttered under much less anxi- ous conditions - "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." This is the happy situation under which most stockmen of Prince Edward Island find them- selves. at the moment. with re- gards to Contagious Abortion. alias Brucellosis. alias Bang's Disease. Notice please that the phrasing

"most" stockmen is used - not "all" stockmen.

Contagious Abortion is a dead- ly foe. and. if allowed to run

uncontrolled. can spread quickly from farm to farm over large areas. The appalling, thing about it is that it strikes e pocketbook in three ways -- first. through loss of calves; secondly. through milk because it causes Un- dulant Fever in man: thirdly. cows fiscated to prevent further spread of the dis- ease. In other words. the farmer whose cattle contract the disease is quickly and efficiently put out of business. How can this disease be controlled? The ans are is sim- ply Calfiiood Vaccine on.

Far sighted men seeking in make Prince Edward Island a Ben a Free Area have succeded n inauguratL.4 a plan which is backed by the Provincial Department-of Agriculture. and which if support- ed by cattlaman on Prince Edward Island has a good chance of suc- ceeding. Effective April 1. I955, the Provincial Minister of Agricul- ture gave the "go ahead' to a plan which is designed to place Calfbood Vaccination within the reach of every cattle farmer on Prince Edward Island.

- Surely a total cost of .75 cents per calf to the farmer is a sound astment against Contagious ' I on. If we can agree on this point. then surely .75 cents invest- ed at the beginning of the life of a calf is a much smarter move ec- onomically than waiting until the

PLAN YOUR GARDEN

Now's the time to plan your garden for good nutrition in 1955 and on into next year. We'll leave it to horticulturallsts to advise on the exact time of planting, the soils best suited for each vege- table and the care and nurture of the garden.

The rural homemaker must de- cide what she needs for good sum- mer eating and winter preserva- tion and storage. For canning-plan on having ripe tomatoes, our 4- H garden club members have proven this possible. the late ones which fail to ripen will provide chow and pickles of secondary im- portance, nutritionally speaking. They are 'ie easiest vegetable to can either whole or as Juice as

processln period. For careful can- ning or easing plan to grow -plenty of green and wax beans. spinach. peas. and corn. For cool dry storage. carrots. onions. pars- nips. turnips. navy and brown eyed beans. and the winter varieties of cabbage will provide nutritious means tliorughout the winter. Farm rige ' . squash and vege- ta le morrow will keep until well into the New Year.

No farm land prduces more pro- fitably than that planted as the vegetable garden. A garden thirty by one hundred feet will save fifty

In the winter of 1058. the H. D. Glendenning family of Hudson Heights. Canada. moved to the Mallgre, Quebec. with them went their white kitten Snowy. Short-

ly after arrival at their new home.

the cat vanished.

Two months later it was back in Hudson Heights. a soiled lean critter. Snowy had covered a dis- tance of :35 miles in the dead of winter T t January is and late March. The cat wanted to be at the old address so did the Gleudennings and they too, mov- ed back to Hudson Heights.

The bible speaks of giants and dwarfs.

In Pretoria. South Africa. are strange ruins which suggest they were built by a vanished race. of dwarfs. The ruins reveal some well constructed kraals of dif- ferent sizes and shapes. Scient- ists who examined tbe site re- ported being puzzled over the pint-sized huts. The entrance, on the ground level. is too small for and ordinary sized person to squeeze through. Nothing what- ever is known about the myster- ious litle people who once 'lved there. Certainly they must have been dwarfs to get in and out of such tiny entrances.

But my journey will lead me through ever ripening Spring and Summer and when I get back. as so often in the past. the lilacs will just be opening to greet me.
