They're smart, those boys, and the more chips are down, the more chips they get on their shoulders. We have a. protest to make to the Physical Fitness Department, however. We ask, Messrs. Reid and Hogan, why take the Sum- merslde boys and put them in a. class one notch above where they should be? Sydney, Glace Bay, Moncton, Halifax, st. John and Charlottetown all have large art- ificial ice rinks, so they're all put together in the "Big Six" class. Here on the Island, Kenslngton, ,Bedeque, Borden, Alberton and. O'Lesry have natural ice rinks, so they should go in one class. Right? Well, then, Wellington, Lot 16. Muddy Creek, Summerside and Miscouche all have open-air rinks, and should be put in another class. Right? On behalf of the Mercurys, we hereby challenge the last mention- ed teams to a round robin of games on some clear night when the wind is west, and light, for the open-air championship of Prince County.

R. Shaw, of the Sheep Breeders' Association. is impressing itself on the minds of farm producers. This change in thinking is not coming about because of the direct economic benefits of sheep raising, but through I numbe of other in- fluences which include iniprove- ment in farm fertility, weed coli- trol, lower labour costs, economy oi housing, and other factors. in The returns of the past year have kept pace with those from hogs and cattle, Mr. Show stated. in Lamb has been in keen demand and reached a high through 13' spected packing plants of thlrty- a five cents alive. These prices brought in snug profits at low a investment and Production C0lt5- Wool prices also reached the highest point in our history, and to all who marketed promptly through approved channels a. high of 81.05 was received. This price included a five cent bonus to pa- trons who marketed the 1950 clip through the Canadian Co-oper- ative Wool Growers Limited. Late p shippers unfortunately missed the high prices and received little better than half the market value p of early contributors. y In order to assist those who made late deliveries an extra five cents per pound was added to the market level and thus helped the ultimate receipts. The markets for the year were extremely diff- g icult to predict. War orders op- erating in the early months drove prices up to unheard of levels, and created artificial values. La- ter this prop was suddenly re- s moved and the market as sud- denly collapsed. Later prices have r recovered somewhat, but uncer- tainties still remain and it is s difficult at this time to say what is going to happen in the trade. Very serious losses have been ex- perienced by interests that bought heavily at the top prices. . Through this trying period the strength, stability, and business efficiency of the Canadian Co- operative Wool Growers Associa- tion, Limited, has been very clear- ly demonstrated. This organiza- tion stands at the very top of ef- ficiently handled busincss as- sociations in Canada, and sheep producers little realize the pro- tection that has been rendered through this medium to the sheep breeding industry. 50 Charges Skulduggery Practices sociatlon this year was increased over that of 1950." Mr. Shaw stat- cd. "In competition with the organization scores of itinerant buyers from as far away as Que- bec rangcd up and down the Province buying wool at ridicul- ously low prices, and never at any stabilized level. Neighbours living side by side very often re- ceived different prices on the same day from the same buyer, Prices ranged from less than sev- enty cents to ninety cents per pound, but conformed in a pinch to the advertised price of the Sheep 2Brceders' Association. Wool was taken from the door, very often under the influence of un- fair suggestion, and low market- ing skulduggery practises.

Other recommendations were that the Sheep Breeders' As- ciation, in co-operation with the cat packers, initiate a policy de- ducting 31.00 on all buck lambs. and that this money be placed in fund controlled by the Sheep Breeders' Association to be used in education and the industry: programme of within Mr. Shaw said that the As- sociation had worked in close co- operation with the Provincial De- artment of Agriculture in the importing of 24 North Cheviot ewes. Those ewes, he said, had roduced over thirty lambs lost ear. The Cheviot ram lambs were placed in the different sheep- raising centres of the province and the results had been most satis- factory. rams, The demand for those Shaw said, had been the supply, but Mr. reater than through co-operation of the var- ious breeders most were met. requirements The greatest drawback to the heep industry in the Province has been wrong breeding methods esulting from false show ring At present, the As- oclation is endeavouring to cross Cheviots, Leicestera, and the com- mon breeds of the Province in or- der to establish a superior type of commercial sheep. Dog Menace Next to the wrong breeding methods. the greatest drawback to the industry at present, Mr. Show said, is the dog menace. Last year 51,090 were spent in compensation for the killing of 175 sneep by dogs. Mr. Shaw concluded by saying. llstntistics indicate an increase in the sheep population of the Prov- ince, and it now rests, according to the June Survey. at 48,000 lll comparison with 47,400 in the pre- vious year. Jt is interesting to "The quantity of wool handled note that wool production in Can- through its Sheep Breeders' As- ada. excepting Newfoundland, amounted to 8,653,000 pounds in 1951, or a decrease of 9 per cent from the previous year. only about 54 per cent of the av- erage annual production in 1933-39 period. are, therefore, at an all-time low in Canada as is the recorded pro- duction of wool. of wool in 1945 was almost 20 mil- lion pounds-quite figure in comparison pouridage in 1951. disposition of wool by the Domin- ion Bureau of Statistics shows a total production in Prince Edward Island of 172,000 pounds, of which 161,000 pounds have been sold, and 11,000 pounds used on farms. if these Jlgures are correct pounds of wool have posed of direct to the trade. and itinerant buyers, entirely outside This is the Sheep numbers The production a substantial with the The estimated 136,000 been dis- ! the amount being marketed a handsome profit, and hurried through co-operative channels. back to repeat his perm;-mgnce, That record is not a good one."
