Bracken Ayrshire" Tops List

The Honourable John Bracken went to Prince Edward Island and personally selected the Ayrshire cow Fslrvue Faihlon Linda from A.. Mscftse at Sons. Charlotte- town, P. E. 1.. which had previous- ly made two outstanding heifer records.

And so it is that a year or so later Fairvue Fashion Linda made her third record .in the Ayrshire herd of the Hon. John Bracken and his son George, at Manotick. Ont. This record is not only the high- est Ayrshire record mode by I Bracken-owned cow but is also the highest Ayrshire record mode in 1950 by an Ayrshire. , Feirvue Fashion Linda com- menced her latest record at I years, of age and subsequently -produced 10.01"! lbs. milk. 829 lbs. -butterlnt. 4.387.. in 365 days on 2 mil-kings per day. This being. es already mentioned. not only the highest record mode by an Ayr- shire in 1950 but also the third highest record ever made by an Ayrshire on 2 milking: per day. As already indicated her 2 year old record of H.602 lbs. milk. 884 lbs. butter-fat, 4.887., in 365 deys. on 2 milkings per day. was the highest record made in that class that year, as also the second high- est 2 year old Ayrahire record ever made by an Ayrshire.

Her other record. which topped the list the year it was made was 16.880 lbs. milk, 704 lbs. butterfat, 4.1796. in 365 days on 2 milking: per day.

Fairvuc Fashion Linda was sired by Glengarry Bit O'1i'ashion probably the most outstanding sire ever used in Prince Edward island.

Tumip Maggot

Control Probleln

Still Unsolved

Though investigations Wcse car- ried out last season on -a large scale. no solution to the prohlxn of turnip maggot infestation is yet in eight. reported us. T. M. Cannon officer in chargr of the Dominion Eqtom at Labora- tory. at, yestel-day's session of the Provino I Agricultural Conference. -. Detaied control and biological studies were conducted last year, as well as tield surveys. and these investigations are being continued throughout the winter. the report states.

Auangements .have been made to construct two rooms in the plant protection greenhouses at the Dominion Experimental Farm, where temperature and humidity "can be controlled. These rooms will be ready in the course of weeks.

While insect populations in gen- eral were below' normal during 1950. there was a ' outbreak of the red-backed cutworm in King's County on the eastern part of Queens. occurred dur- ing the latter part: of June and early July. several ”ousand acres of grain were infested and the damage ranged from slight thin- ning to complete destruction of the crops. Infestations were con- fined to grain fields in which pot- atoes or turnips were grown the previous year.

Another insect that is gaining -DI'0II'llllGI'lCO in (diet Provtnce is the barley jointworm. first noticed ab- out four years ago. which has since become widespread.

Further studies will be made this year in potato insect control. to determine the minimum amount of parathion that can be used safe- ly and effectively.

The report notes that in pee- moth investigations. it was found that parathion gave almost 100 percent control.

During the pa a two seasons. elaborate eapsrim ts were set up to further study the biology and control of the corn earworm. but infestations were so light that very little informs could be obtained- This project will be discontinued for the present.

Notes Further Improvement In Swine Production

380 Island breeders have par- ticlvpated to date in advanced swine registry and there has' been an appreciable increase during the past year in the number of sows qualifying in the higher scores. states the report of Mr. H. W. Clay. senior livestock field- man, Dominion Department of Agriculture, which was F "ml at ycsterdayis opening session of the Provincial Agricultural Cm- ference. -

"When the present you is com- pleted on March 31st, we should have more sows qualifying in 1950 than in any previous year," tlhe report adds. In 1048 only 70.9 per cent of the sows tested qual- ified. whereas this year 83.8 per cent qualified. The number of pigs raised to weaning age has remained more or less stationary at 9 1-2 per litter for the sows tested. ,

Test groups were found out- standing for maturity in that they roach market weights much earl- ier than the average for the sows in Central and Western Canada. The average slaughter age for all the groups tested 1950 was 189.6 days. .

In a detailed statement of hog marketln-gs and grading percent- ages, the report shows that the percentage of Grade A's increased from 35 in I941 to 51.8 per cent in 1950. "This improvement." the re- port states. "is all the more amaz- ing when we consider that our annual marketing in the some time has increased from 47,412 in 1941 to 97,150 in 1960."

During the coming year it is anticipated that there will be a material increase in hog produc- tion in this Province. largely due to the heavy I050 grain crop and the present unfortunate potato market situation.

After reviewing the sucoas of Island swine exhibits at the Mari- time Wthtcr Fair and Royal Fair. the report predicts that Islend.ed- forts at the latter exhibition this year "will have far reaching re- sults in bringing the swine allow standard from a hobby show to a commercial proposition."

While the movement of breeding stock out of the Province has been somewhat decreased. principally due'to high transportation costs. ithe movement within the Prov- ince has been very great. "The progeny of him tested sows is ,, L 'iy seeping out to a num- ber od our commercial producers. During the latter part of the year. the demand for boars and bred sows has exceeded the supply."
