in the next two weeks.
The Old company officials said the presence of a drilling rig in the Province ‘does not mean that they. are sure oil will be found. They ‘pointed out that the average through- out Canada is one producing well out of 23 bored and the average for production in commercial quantities-that is 1,000,000 bbls - is one in 75.

Mr. Colpitts in answer to a querry said the Company would definitely develop its pro- gram should oil be found in commercial quantities. He noted that the Island with its proximity to marine transport- ation would offer an economi- cal outlet for the products of an oil well.’ In contrast to this he noted the laying of long pipe lines to transport the oil as is the case in some other areas.

possible to pray a selfish prayer but that effectual and powerful prayers are those that are pray- ed in the spirit of sellessness such as the Gethsemane prayer of the Saviour. He then went on to say that prayer is not an escape from the trials and temptations of life but a means of facing and over- coming them with God's help and power.
The speaker concluded his ad- dress by quoting the familiar verse concerning prayer “The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." He then added. “such prayer is confidence. God’s treasury has an inexhaustible supply of power and blessing for all those who will call on him, believing.”

The tendency on the part of many dairymen to breed good dairy cows to beef sires had been attacked earlier in the meeting. But Mr. Thompson suggested that the situation was righting itself because dairymen are find- ing it improfitable to do it.
The matter was raised first by Roland MacDonald of Southport, a former Federation president, when he reported for the Fluid Milk Producers Association. He said that in ten years time this province will be short of butter if the practice is continued. some dairymen, he said, are breeding dairy cows to beef bulls thinking they will get more money for the surplus animals they have to sell for meat. It may not'make much difference now, but in three years it will begin to tell, and in ten years we shall be short of butter in the province unless the trend is changed, he complained.
The tendency to breed to beef bulls has increased alarmingly all over the Maritime provinces, Mr. MacDonald warned.

OTHER REPORTS
Kenneth MacLean, Central Lot 16, reporting for the Co-operative Union, said that the union which was all but bankrupt two years ago is now back on a sound foot- ing and is looking forward to the possibility of increasing its field work and stepping up other act- ivities next year.
The Central Farmers Institute has lost many of its member in- stltutes in recent years but three or four are still going strongly, J. Lincoln Dewar reported.
The poultry industry is not in good shape, C. B. Waugh noted when he reported for the Approv- ed Flock Association. Mr. Waugh said that the poultry revenue in the first nine months of 1957 was 48 per cent less than it was for the corresponding period in 1957. He felt that there should be a pro- vincial poultry association. The Approved Flock Association only includes the hatchery flocks and the breeder hatcheries.
