The Harness Horse for June 21st 3 publishes a photo entitled "The; reasons tightest finish at Roosevelt I Raceway”. It shows six horses with one horse's nose and part of .'ilS face beyond the wire and the! others practically touching it, or an inch or two from it. The win- ner was His Brother. driven by

D00 more will place her on even terms with the famous Goldsmith

Maid 2.14. that holds the world's record for earnings by a trotting mare-3206.102. She was retired in 1877 and the year previous-on her 20th birthday-she equalled her trotting record of 2.14 to high wheels. Goldsmith Maid's earnings from races and exhibitions total- led 3264.573, but the powers that be consider that exhibitions should not count and that only actual racing competitions" should be conddcred, so no doubt within a month or two Proximity will have equalled or passed Goldsmiths mark.

Proximity' started tlve times in 1950 and won each start and set up three world's records at Santa Anita. one for one and one-eighth miles in 2.14 (V5, a mile and one- sixteenth in 2.06 U5. and a mile and one-quarter in 2.31 l2y5. She was the winner of the 350.000 Trot on June 17th. She was sold at the Walnut Hall auction in 1013 for 5350 to Dr. R. W. Scott of Baxter Springs, Kansas. Later he sold her to Ralph and Gordon Verhurst for SL000. She was of very little use as a race mare until her four-ycar- old form when she won over 310.- 000 and took a record of 2.061;; on a half-mile track.

Among the honors whiich Joe O'Brien added to his string at Santa Anita was the driving of the four-year-old pacer Robert

-Morris by Volomite. lo a time re-

cord of 2.00. His quarters were 30 U5. 1.00, 1.31 US, 2.00. Robert Morris took a record of 2.07 3,x5 as

la three-year-old last season with

Joe. This year he discarded the hopples and won several races with him. lt is the first two min- Joe ranked high among the money winners at Santa Anita and in the list of standings there topped with 22 victories. Clint Hodgins headed him with money won of 548,120 with Joe in second place with 333,- 266.62. Next on the list of money winning drivers was Guy Crippcn with S2l.425.

The good six-year-old pacing mare Mary's Delight. by Playdale 20455. has been sold by Wilfrcd Praught. Cherry Valley. to Dr. J. A. Dona-hoe. Truro, N. S. The deal was put through by Rollie Wood, well known purveyor of speed. who is taking the mare over by truck to Truro today where she will race Saturday night. Last season she made ten starts and won eight heals and is eligible to the 2.23 class.

James Flood has kindly given us it recent letter which he re- ceived from his daughner Mrs. Joe O'Brien. with the following information. It is from Saratoga Springs race track:-"We are fin- ally settled enough for me to write you. We had a very fast trip back from Santa Anita: left Sunday morning and got in here Thursday at noon-3100 miles. We came through Wyoming. Utah. lowa and up around the Great Lakes and very close to Buffalo. I had hopcd to see Niagara Falls but Joe was in a hurry as he had an engage- ment to drive a horse in a stake race the first night in. He finished second. He won a race on Friday night and another one on Satur- day night. all catch drives. We have not started anything from our stable yet. They will be ready by the end of this week. We tx- pect to be here until the middle of August and may go to the new plant in Detroit. It is rumored that it will be another Roosevelt. Everyone here has been very nice and are pleased to have Joe racing with them. Our stable consists of seventeen horses and as Joe has no second trainer he is very busy."

Elsewhere on this page will be found an ad. for the trotting mare Harvest Melody 2.l0l'i and her two months old colt by Big Gun. Har- vest Melody's breeding is of the very best. She was sired by Rob- ert S. Bcrgcn. a son of Bergen 2.063x4, and Plantista by Minor Heir l.58'-3. Her dam was Ethcl Har- vester 2.l5l-.v. dam also of Mr. Squires 2.l5l'4. hcr only two foals. She was by The Harvester 2.!.0l 'lfld was bred by Walnut Hall Farm. Donncrail. Ky. Her second dain was Ethel Toddington 2.l5'-.-, noted brood mare. and her third dam the celebrated mare Ecstatic 201'-.-, by Oratorio, and the fourth dam the renowned matron El-helwyn. dam of eleven, by Harold. Many of cur greatest horses trace back to Ethclwyn.

Big Gun. the sire of the colt. was foaled at Walnut Hall Farm nine years ago and is by Guy Abbey 3, 2.0694. sire of Greyhound l.5.':',z, world's champion trotler, also two others in two minutes and 125 in ;'..l0. His first dam was Maytag 2, 2.055341. and she is the dam of live in 2.10. four of them having taken their records over a hall-mile track. Maytag is by the world's greatest sire, Volomite 3, 2.029;. The second dam is Merry Maid. dam of seven in 2.10 and three with records of better than 2.05. His third dam is Enice Belle 3, 2.08V4 and his fourth dam Margar- et. Parrish 2.06Vi. one of the world's greatest brood mares. We trust some good stockman will purchase Harvest Melody and foal as they will be a decided assc: to this Province. She has now been bred to Playdale 2.04'.&. son of Scotland l.59V4. whose granddam was the celebrated Mabel Trask 2.0lVa.

ince for this time of year. Sprouting is quite a problem and

the dcmand the last oouple of

weeks has been very slow.

There have been several requests for the Federation to ask for some help because most of these potatoes are in the hands of the smaller farnicrs This whole situation has bcfn discussed with officials from the Pi-ices Support Board and the Dominion Department. of Agricult- ure. who are attending the A. I. C Cmifercnce in Charlottetown.

It is practically impossible to draw up a complete price support pi'0gi'am for such a small amount and in the long-run it. would not be price support. it would actually be buying and dumping. with all the administrative costs of a large scale support program.

Today. after contacting the Markets Division in Ottawa, the situation looks somewhat brighter for moving our crop, although prices will not be much stronger.

The Ontario crop is about two weeks late. The Markets Division and the trade feel there is It rea- sonably good chance of moving what potatoes remain within the next couple of weeks. Everything possible is being done to obtain outlets for what is left. The co- operation of everyone with potatoes still on hand is necessary.

Next step

representative meetings last week and the lively discussions on all subjects was certainly en- couraging to the directors. The al-

am the other provinces are taking pllce between formal sessions of the A. I. C. meetings this week.

Sheep Venus Dog:

A new approach to the sheep- kllling dog problem is taken from the canadlnn Co-operative Grow- er: newsletter.

"In view of the fact .that. the damage done to flocks by she p- killing dogs gets major blame or the decline in Canada's sheep population every "suggestion for control of these marauders de- mands serious consideration. The latest approach came from Anti- gonish. Nova Scotia.

"Dogs and Their Control" was their subject for discussion on May mnd. Noting that present legislat- ion and compensation for losses are not adequate it was urged that the castration of male dogs would prove to be a real remedy since they are responsible for most of the damage done to flocks. It .5 pointed out that a castrated dog is not a ioamer and that the dog which stays at home does not kill sheep.

The present dog tax is branded as a nuisance tax which furnishes some money to pay compensation but does nothing to prevent the slaughter of sheep. The placing of a tax of 525.00 on entire males and no tax on the famaie and the desexed male is suggested."

Dr. Hope Meets Directors

On Monday evening after his ar- rival in Charlottaetown. the Pro- vincial directors met. with our C. F. A. Economist. Dr. E. C. Hope. Formerly from British Columbia. Dr. Hope is a practical farmer op- erating a dairy farm just outside of Ottawa, where he milks a herd of some twenty pure bred Guern- says.

A great many questions includ- lng those on marketing boards. the butter problem, statistics reports, current. beef cycle, etc. were re- viewed and much helpful lnl'oi-rri- atlon was received by the directors which will certainly be of benefit in plmning our program for the next. few months.

Need suggestion Now

At the present time farmers are asked, through their Provincial Federations. to make any suggest- ions they feel important regarding changes in the Income Tax Form. Aocount Book, etc, for next year. Those suggestions are needed im- medlately before our C. F. A. of- flclals confer with the Income Tax people and agree upon these points for next year

There has also been a suggestion offered that farm labor should come under Unemployment Incur- ance. It is strongly argued that laborers will not accept farm work because there is no protection of- fered after they are la.ld off. as is the case when they work on other jobs. If this is so there might be some merit. in the proposal.

Of course this would involve an additional contribution on the farmers part and would entail more bookkeeping, etc. but in marry cases it might be worth the effort:

This move at the present time is being promoted by the laboring people and by some Government officials in Central Canada. If any of our Island farmers have had ex- perience in this regard. we would appreciate your guidance at the present time.
