- fish landed on the Island was

52 million and of this 01.4 million was due to the lobster. The lab- ster catch has shown no tend- ency either to grow or decline during the period since 1910 but the higher prices of recent years have raised its value by three or four times the pre-war level. The production of oysters, the only other shellfish of importance, has increased substantially in re- cent years. This. together with rising prices, has made the oy- ster fishery one of rapidly in- creasing value. In the year: be- fore the war. the annual catch was usually below 830,000; while in the three years 1947 to 1949 it regularly exceeded 5100.000. Over the years 1919 to 1940, the shellfish species have never ac- counted for less than 60 per cent of the total value of all fish land- ed on the Island. and in several

years the proportion exceeded 80 per cent. The quantity of groundfish

caught has grown substantially over the past thirty years. This is due mainly to an expansion in hake landings which dates from about 1937. The average annual catch of groundfish for the period 1919-36 was slightly less than six million pounds a. year while. since 1937, it has averaged almost- eleven and one-half million pounds. Due largely to the de- cline in demand for canned groundfish. the catch of make has fallen off sharply during the past few years.

The value of the groundfish catch reflects the higher prices of recent years but, of course, not to the extent of shellfish. Since 1909. the grounclfish catch has, on the average. accounted for ap- proximately seventeen per cent of the total landed value of the Island's fisheries.

Pelagic Species

,The catch of ipelagic species varies consid ra-bly from year to year, but there is some evidence uf a gentle growth in production over the period 1909-49.,

The principal species in the pelagic group is the herring. In the best years, the catch of her- ring has exceeded six million pounds. Mackerel is next in im- portance -but, during the period 1919-49, the catch never reached as high as three million pounds.

Due primarily to higher prices. the landed value of pelagic spe- cies has risen greatly in recent years. The honing catch. which was valued at 520.000 to 330.000 from 1933 to 1040, has recently bcen running at 350,000 to 380,000. In 1948, a good catch and high prices pushed the value of her-

Seeli Milk Price Boost In Halifax

HALIFAX. Autz. pa -(0P)- An application by Halifax milk dis- tributera for an increase in their margin of profit mot little opposit- ion at a public hearing before the Public Utilities Board today.

The dealers said increased oper- ating costs and recent wage boosts were the reasons for the applica- tion.

The board also is dealing with an appllcaton from the Nova Scotla. Milk Producer: Auociatlon for an incease of 60 cents a hundreclwelght.

This. coupled with the 1 1.3-cent hoist asked by the producers would probably increase the retail price of a quart of milk in Halifax from 19 to 22 cents.

LONDON. Aug. 23 -(APl- Brit- ain announced today her oil men will hang on to Abadau indefin- itely, under protective measures if necessary. Prime Mlhiister Attlee proposed they stay in the Iranian refinery centre--shut down by the nationalization row--"until reason prevails."

with warships anchored only 40 miles away and planes based 'ln neighboring Iraq. Britain warned Iran she will take "the necessary measures to protect" technicians if the Tehran Government falls to do so.

These moves followed suspension of talks between the two countries on the oil issue which already has stopped the westward flow of Iran's prized output. normally 30. 000.000 tons a year.

Two of the leading players in the Tehran drama were quitting the scene. Britain's chief negotia- tor, Richard stoloes. hurred back by plane to report to the Cabinet tomorrow. W. Averell Harrlman, President Truman's special envoy --leaves at midnight Friday for Washington.

It was clear the departure of these envoys was intended to bring about a. change in the attitude of Iran's Government under Premier Mohammad Mossadegh.

The Foreign Office announced nucleus of the British-owned Anglo-Iranian oil Company's start has been ordered to remain in Abadan to be ready to carry an operations "whenever the Persian (Iranian) Government makes it possible." ,

Britain has taken its stand on a decision July 5 of the International Court of Justice, which recom- mended that oil productlonbe con- tinued by the A.I.o.C. under its own management. pending any final settlement. I

The A.I.O.C. chief in Abadari. Alec Mason. said about 350 Britons will stay on. Nearly 300 other tech- nicians--Brllons, Indans, Pakis- tanis-have been recalled from the more remote fields and should be

Discuss-io and explanation of the recently instituted progeny testing programme featured the annual field day of the Ayrshire Breeders Association of the Prov- ince held at the Experimental Farm yesterday.

One of the breeding projects be- ing earried out at the Farm, this programme. using I bull of known qualities as a check against other selected purebred Ayshire bulls, is planned to compare the ability of the various animals to raise the production of daughters over dams. Full co-operation with the pure- bred breeders was stressed. and the hope was expressed that other outstanding bulls from among the herds of the breeders would enter the tests. .

Due to recent weather conditions and the Provincial Exhibition last week, the attendance was lower than expected, but the field day was adjudged a definite success by Mr. R. C. Parent, Supervisor of the Experimental Farm and Pres- ident of the Association.

Before lunch the members were conducted around the Farm and saw a. general cross-section of the work being carried out in the cult- urIl areas. particularly I series of plot! on which potatoes have been grown continuously in rotation for

Annual Field Day For- Ayrshire Breeders Held

Here. the value of barnyard man- ure has been seen to a great ex- tent. other points visited were the erosion plots and the new hen- house. with its flock of White Lea- horns and automatic feeders and waterers.

After a pleasant basket lunch. Mr. Parent addressed a few words of welcome to the members and briefly outlined the afternoon pro- gramme. He placed special emph- asis on the value and importance of livestock to the farming econ- omy of the Province.

Mr, Stuart Wright. Provincial Department of Agriculture. deput- lzing for the Hon. C.C. Baker. Minister of Agriculture. commend- ed the Ayrshire breeders on their progressive policies. and foresight ill the purchasing of two purebred bulls from Scotland. He stated that the Government would carry on their bull bonus plan this year and that the Provincial Department would be glad to co-operate in any plans for improvements.

The quality, "even -tlic i.ail-end- crs", of the Ayrahircs shown at inst week's Fair. was a credit to the P.E.I. breeders. stated Mr. Howard Truman of Aulac, New Brunswick. Mr. Truman. one of the Maritime directors of the Can- adian Ayrshire Breeders Associa- tion. then spoke of the annual meeting in Montreal. saying that the site for the permanent location was still in Ibeyance.

Britain already has been award- ed most of the 1,300 place; for Atlantic Pact trainees in Canada annually under the present train- ing plan but there is little doubt she would like more if Canada would provide them. An enlarged training plan has been under con- sideration here.

At Montreal a week from Friday. he will see a ceremony marking the re-equipment of two R. C. A. F. squadrons with the Sabre jets they later will take to England. Canada has announced plans to establish a three-squadron wing in England by mid-1952 as a starter on putting an ll-squadron air div- islnn in Europe by 1954.

Prcseiit prospects are for I steadily expanding market for Irish moss due to the wide variety of uses to which it is being put by industry. the P. E. 1. Fisheries De- velopment Committee was :;)d at the closing meeting of its esent session yesterday afternoon. The Committee will meet again either Sept. 28 or 29 depending on the ni-rival here of Dr. Stewart Bates, Deputy Minister of Fisheries. ot-- 8Wi'I. -

It was stated at the meeting that toothpaste manufacturers are lhe biggest individual users of Irish moss at present. although there are several other national business house: using large quant- ities. The quality of Island moss had improved and as a result com- mercial users were now more fav- orably inclined towards buying here. The improvement had come through inspection. which is ent- irely voluntary.

A brief discussion on the pos- sibility of establishing a process- ing plant here ended when Dr. A. W. ll. Ncodlcr. director of the At- lantic Biological Station. St. And- rews. N.
