Need Poultry " Campaign For Increased Quality

' ‘I110 very faves-able oppm-tunity lor the export cf Canadian poultry also affords an opportunity of an- other kind. Briefly, in the opinion ‘ of all concerned in the industry, the ' question of increased quality should . be dealt with in a comprehensive ’ manner without delay. While ex- port outlets are very encouraging, states W. A. Brown, Chief, Poultry ’ Services, Live Stock Branch, Do- minion Department of Agriculture. like recent report made following a v it to the British Isles, it must not 1 be overlooked that Carlson's largest l market has always been her home i IIISXKQL ‘. ‘The time has arrived, Mr. Brown

points out, when the opportunity with respect to quality and nuan- tity is such as to justify a well-con- sidered increased production cem- paign in Canada that will include all of the interests ooncerned— breeders, hatcheryrnen, producers. trade and transportation. It is felt ‘that this opportunity will have a special appeal to breeders and liatcherynlen in the it is evident (some improvement in type of pcuih-y is needed to bring about the largest possible percentage of the higher grades and to _ volume will need not only expan- ‘slon and full use of all hatchery l equipment but a ell-ordination be- timers breeders, hatcheryrnen, and ekporters in the centres whL-re in- ,.die.sse in volume can best be a:- ringed. finished, and more readily lliisflmbled for export with the mini- ldlrm 0f expense.

So far as concerns. the present export opportunity, Britain is mak- ing little or no effort to develop her frown poultry trade, practically all of her poultry being marketed in the fresh condition. Poland and Hungary are at present Canada's principal competitors. Poultry from Canada and the other Dominions enters Great Britain duty free while that from foreign countries with the exception of Yugo-Slavia has to face a tariff of 3d. (6 cents) a pound.

The recent trade agreement with the United States has also opened up export opportunities with that country. Inquiry is reported for both live and pressed poltry, and some h pments of the former have already gone forward. The markets of the United States in the past have taken much fowl while Britain prefers chickens. .

From January to March is the best time to plant carnation cutt- irlgs, for the reason that at this period the plants are strong and vigorous. Later on the plants will be weakened by flower production. A great deal of information on the subject may be gleaned from the circular on carnation culture issued by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa.

Quality in beef cannot exist with- asonable amount cf fat. l-Iowev , it should not be assumed that, because beef must be fat in order to beaood, all fat beef is good beef. Cows may carry a consider- able amount cf fat, but neither the fat nor the lean from an old animal possesses the desired quality. The fat on beef from an animal of this kind can usually be distinguished by its softness and high colour. The best beef to buy iabranded beef.

Larry swung his feet to the floor and took. stock of his situation.

"I'll have to have ‘somebody patch me up, I suppose," he admitted. "But it may not be necessary to go downtown Now then, Mt- Jac-

"I'm sorry, Cutter. I was a very close friend cf your father . . . his best friend, I believe. I should hate to see a son of his get into trouble, if I could avoid it. I fear I am

doing wrong, but if you care to re-

turn my property . - - l misht con-

sider withdrawing my charges."

"That's very kind of you.” IAl-ry‘:

lip curled. “And just what do ycu want me to return?"

"Why, the . . . what you took from the cellar. The one you were trying to get away with when . . ."

“When your hired gorilla took a

pot shot at rue. In other words, you

don't know what it was. But you're

afraid you doi"

"I haven't time to quibble, Out- ter. You may take your choice."

"Well, I'll ease your mind. I found exactly what you think I did. But I can't trade with you just now, because it's in my lawyer's hands at, the moment."

A dull red surged into Jacob's face.

"Do your duty, Staples _ I'll see this through. This. young fool is hinting at blackmail because he knows I have money!"

“Just a minute." Larry perceived that his shot had struck home. He would carry the bluff a little far- ther . . Jorllackssaks aswellas his own. “I know about your friend- ship for my father, Jacobs," he said curtly, “I know more than you think. And I have put all aw in- formation in the hands of my at- torneys. They're Hicks and Hicks . . . just in case you're interested. They've been delving into things for me and, with this evidence I've just put into their hands, it should fur- nish grounds for you and me to set- tle . . . a - umber cf things."

Jacobs leaned back in his chair and stared. His small eyes were blinking rapidly. Jacqueline noticed that he wet his lips with his tongue; his moustache,'she thought, seemed to droop. She found herself feeling suddenly sorry for him. He didn't look like the man whose enthusiasm over Southern Furnace prospects has mislead her. He appeared old.

Larry, apparently, did not share her sympathies. i

“It's taken me quite a while to get around to this, Mr. Jacobs. But I'm trying to do a good job. You must nave had something in mind when you put this sleuth on my trail. You didn't have a thing on lne, but you thought it would be nice if the cops could turn me up on their own account, while you stayed in the background."

Lieutenant Staples’ eyes lighted a trifle at this suggestion. he lis- tened attentively.

"Just how you happened to find I was in town wasn't such a piece of pure luck as you supposed, either," Larry went on. He was car- rying his bluii to the utmost. now. hoping for some sort. of collapse on the part of his dapper engmy. “I've been able to turn up a few items of interest through a mutual friend . . Miss Mcrr ."

Jacobs leaped to his feet. His face was fairly purple.

“Do you mean to insinua‘ . . .

"Not at a.ll. Miss Morris has been in my employ, as well as yours. She's a very capable young woman."

"Wait until I sec herl" Jacobs‘ voice was shaking.

"I doubt very much if you find her when you get home," Inn-y ven- tured. "If you do : . . you'll find that she's quite able to look out for herself."

Jacobs made a visible eflcrt in control himself. He turned to Stop- lcs with u much dignity as he could

command. "I don't think Mr. Cutter will

MES. WESLEY I. WOOD

Friends throughout the Pro- vince, especially the mmunity of Hamlin-oak, were deeply Bricved to learn of the death cf Mrs. Wesley E. Wood at the age -of M which sccurred at her home on Saturday, February 8th at 11.10 a. m.

Although Mrs. Wood had been an invalid for some six or seven years, her death came as e great

and shook to all who knew her. She was formerly Miss Lena Waugh, youngevt daughter of the late Samuel Waugh of Wilmot. Her mother, Mrs. Jane Waugh. who resides with Mrs. Josephus smallman of Bummerside, was un- able of late to be at the bedside of her invalid daughter- but has llmg been a faithful and devoted visitor at the home of the deceas- ed during the trying years of lil- ness which preceded death. The end came peacefully as if in mercy to relieve the tired body of one who bore her sufferings for years in patience and faith. i

The funeral, which followed a brief service at the home, wended its way to the Pownal United Church were‘ many friends had gathered to bid adieu to one they loved. Mrs. Wood was a member of this church and was always possemed of a sunny and pleasing disposition which made it s. plea- sure and privilege for her friends to visit with her both before and during her prolonged illness-

A sad incident in the life of the deceased was the pas-ling of .her little son, Leslie at the age of six years.

Beautiful flowers which adorn- ed the casket were sent by sorrow- lng relatives and friends from Summerside, Charlottetown and vicinity, including a. beautiful pil-

low from her husband and daughter. Rev. Mr. Eliott, assisted by

Rev. Mr- Hayter, spoke words cl’ comfort and BESUHITICG lo the mourners, and a favourite hymn of the deceased "Saved by Grace" was tenderly sung by Mrs. Mat. Mac- Kinnon. The hymns , sung were "Rock of Ages" and “just us I am." The pallbearers were Mr. William Cody, Mr. J. C. Wood, Mr. Percy Myers, Mr. Elmer Myers, Mr. J. S. Cairns and Mr. Fred Webster. Interment, following the funeral service, took place at the United Cemetery, Pownal.

Those left to mourn ilcr passing are her aged molhcr, Mrs. James Waugh, her sorrowing husband. and daughter. Doris, Mrs. George Robinson and Mirs Josephus Smallman both of Summerside, and the brother, Mr. William Waugh, of Calgary.

During the latter part of llcr ill- ness, Mrs. Wood was attended by her physician, Dr. MacKcnzle from Charlottetown, and two nurses, the lVLlsses Mutch and MncPhail, who rendered every service possible in a loving and tender manner.

The deceased has left lhe most fragrant memories in the hearts of all who knew and loved her kind. Christian character and the remembrance cf her loving and syrnpathtic nature will serve to lighten the heavy hearts left to mourn her pasins in the years to come.

McIntosh has always been iocke upon as one of our hardiest sorts. and rightly, as it came through this last severe test with a small amount of bud injury and very little top injury. With main limbs badly sun- ecalded and large areas of bark on the trunk loosened, as a result of winter injury, it avails little to have the top portion of the tree coma through in good condition:

To discard a variety like Mc- Intosh on account of this weakness would be a. calamity, since at pre- sent there is no other variety in sight which coui actually replace it in our orchards and markets.

There is, however, available a method whereby much of this type of injury may be eliminated. This method is double-working. -

The cost of this method is greater at the outset it is true; more time and labour are involved in constructing the orchard, but since permanency is better assured and losses bound to be reduced the increased cost is well worthwhile. The procedure is simply to bud or grafts these hardier sorts-on seedl- ing root-stocks, permit‘ them to grow in the nursery until the main limbs, four or five in number, have been produced and then either bud or graft in the nursery to the dwired sort, or transplant to per- manent location and do the bud- ding or grafting later.
