Egg Production l

Appears 0n The Upgrade

1kg production in Prince lid- ward Island “appears to be on the upgrade with l ‘,. somewhat heavier, than last week." Mr l". M. Nash, senior poultry products inspector said yesterday in the Dominion Department o! Agricul- ture egg and poultry market re- port. “Quality is good," the re- port continued, "and all eggs are finding a ready market m the Mnritimee with some shipments going to Newfoundland. Car-toned rggs put up by A-l producers are receiving as much as ilve cents a dozen over other eggs. Prices remain unchanged. '

Dealers are quoting producers tor ungraded eggs: A Large, 44: A Medium, ti; A Pullet, as; B, l0; C, l9.

Charlottetown dealers are quot-

ing grading stations for graded pack: A Large, 49; A Medium, 47; A Pallet (regular) 88%. (airport peck) 40; B. 84; C, ll.

A-l producers are receiving from retailers for cartoned pack’ A Large. 55; A Medium, b3; A Pullet ss-s. These are retailing at: A Large. - A Medium, 60: A Pallet, ill.

"Poultry receipts are heavier and oi better quality," the report said. "Chicken and fowl are plentiful with ileese and ducks on the scarce side. Receipts o! turk- eys in a wholesale way have not been heavy but it is understood many retailers have sufficient sup- plies contracted for to ill] the Christmas demand. Wholesale dealers are not inclined to pay higher prices for turkeys than the prices quoted. Some geese and ducks are being marketed but mostly direct to consumers and retailers. Since last reporting three carlots of chicken consisting mostly of Nlillcfed A and B grades. along with some turkeys, have been exported. There has been no change in paying prices but some dealers are now buying on the new grades which became effect- ive recently and in line with the changes have added the grade Special and are now paying 36c for this grade. The new grading has been accepted by producers and one hears many favourable comments in regard to- them. The producer making an eﬂort to fat- ten poultry beneﬁts considerably."

Garden Parties Again To Také Place Of Courts

LONDON, Dec. 15 - (Reuters - Por the ninth successive year. the King and Queen will hold no for- mal Courts in i948 because of the "state of the Nation.”

Attendance at one of a series of afternoon garden parties at Buckingham Palace during the Summer will count as attendance or presentation at Court for So- ciety and will again substitute for the traditional pre-war cere- mony.

Clothing coupons have come in- to being since 1989, the last time Britain's debutantes in full Court dress made their official dcbuls by curtesydng before the King and Queen, who sat on a dais in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace. No Court dress will .be necessary for the garden parties; guests wear day dress. or service dress if they are officers.

Though head dresses of ostrich feathers, vcils and fans are cou- pen-free. women would have to give up seven conpons for a Court dress, four’ for a train. two for long evening gl0ves and seven for shoes.

Men could not hope to equip themselves 1n velvet Court dress or full dress uniform. A velvet coat takes 1B coupons. a waist- coat of satin or velvet five, velvet breaches Ill, black silk hoes three patent leather shoes five. gloves. tie and collar one each and a shirt five. such an ensemble would to- tal 46 coupons while the yearly allotment varies from 40 to 50.

Various rules govern official en- trance into Britain's top drawer of society:

Women invited to the garden parties may present their daugh-

ters and daughters-in-law and their husbands may accompany thorn;

If women have changed their names or styles. through remar- riage or because their husbands have received a title since their last attendance. they must be pre- sented again.

Women domiciled in the Domin- lons and Colonies wishing to be presented must apply to the High Commissioner or Secretary cd State concerned for presentation by that dignitaryh wife.

Women of foreign nationality. either by birth or marriage, can be presented only through the dip- lomatic representatives oi their countries, Fixcept in the case of women married to British sub- lccts, or those who hold British pass-ports.

eligible to do so again until 1950 except to present an unmarried daughter.

The last ruling, introduced by the Lord Chamberlain in 1929. was reported aimed at society women who made a considerable income by presenting at Court daughters. of well-to-do parents without mit- able social connections.

Advertisements in previous years would read: “A lady Whose daughter is hclng presented is willing to chalperon young girl for‘ the London season, introducing- her into the best society: highest rcfcrance given and received."

When a plant breeder considers developing a new cereal variety. he must keep in mind vrliat is wanted. since crop improvement ls related to agricultural practices and current economic conditions. lie must develop a variety that is adapted to the needs o1 both the grower and the consumer.

The plant breeder tries to combine into a single variety all the desirable characteristics possible. In the past it was necessary to comb the world for material, but now large collec- tions are available. Once he has" the materiel he makes a study of the manner in which the various characteristics are inherited.

When two varieties are crossed their progeny contains some characteristics from each parent. By selecting in such material. it is possible to find plants that
