The fact that our Diovlnce ll I Disease nee Area for rculosis in cattle, and that to date we have been comparatively fro: from Bang’: Disease. has been relwnsihle for attraction the attention of out- side buyers. particularl-r those from the puma States and Newfound- land. Carload lots o and ads dairy catt er than the previous year. BEEF CATTLE MARKET The market for beef cattle had. been very active during the first Dart. of this year and a rowing interest had’ been very no iceable ln many of :he districts through- out the province. In sctne sections the breeders. who had been carry- uig on dairy work in previous years, had changed their policy to some extent and had bred half their herds to beef tyl-‘e bulls of the various breeds. Vile consider ‘hat this prnc-‘ice will necessitate some curtailment due to the fact that our nuirkct for beef animals. has been limited to certain all. it was regrettable that the export tmdo for lirve animals from this province to Newfoundland had been curtailed dliring the litter part of the season due to airaiigements aucli conditions beyond our con- tro . A number of oure ored bulls had. bcen seiccved from out-side the pro- vince to head privately owned herds as well as a riurober for breeder gi- oups in outlying districts. This will, no doubt. Drove to be cf materinl assiszance in the im- provement of our beef rattle, both fOl‘ type and quality. Under the plan sponsored by the llfarltime Beef Breeder Improve- ment, Committee, ; number of ocef bred bulls have been carefully =ciccted and placed in new districts in several sections of the province aylcre it was deemed there advis- ~ble to marry on the breeding of eetter belt ca‘tle than ‘o be cater- lna to the dairy breeds This pro- iect was extended this year, and should the Committee decide to ccntinue this form of lave stock mprovemelvt. efforts will be made ‘.0 extend the policy this comin year. It has’ been desirable as we as economical on nnny farms where farm ldboi- was not available that they chaiiige over from dairy reduction to the procuction oi ecf. However. a fair standard has been maintained for both. It is considered advisable at this time to point out w the cattle breeders that if forced to reduce their herds, it would be to their advantage to select better- tyre breeding fstiialel for thefuture development-of the herd and to reduce the number of the inferior qu. lity and type rather than dispose o their good 5100K.

Never in the history of the world has the supply of food been such a vital necessity. and as time was on. the QUEEN” of food supply will increase in in» tensity. With peace when it comes. will come the call for food and more food. Since meat and other animal food products such as milk. cheese, butter, poultry. and egg-‘l foiln a very large proportion of the human diet, it. becomes es- sential that the live stock indus- lry must function as nevei- beforv: in an all out effort to increase our supplles of food.

Population vm Pure Bred Breeders A moderate demand existed over rocrnt ivcek for registered ewes o.’ the Oxford and Shropshire breeds. It may he of interest to our readers also to know that there ore at. least, forty-five pure bred sheep breeders in the province who have one or more registered ewes in their flocks. This represents a considerable increase in nmnber over recent years. As aibovc intimated, l Nmllde able nufnlicr of our commercial lambs lacked in fieahin when marketed ovtr the past fa season. Ami-her factor which undoubtedly was responsible for this eck in flashing was the presence of par- asitism.

We travelled for hundreds of miles over the rough, rocky roads of Sicily to the steep “Devil's Gap" of Italy. It is interesting to note that the song hit “Lily Marlene" was first recorded in our “Chevvy". But we nearly lost the truck and all when first we tried to record a close-up of “noise of battle". Our guns were going to pump forty thousand shells on a feature the Germans held, so we drove up steep brown hills where our batteries were parked in a dried-out stream. In the end the enemy was routed by our Infantry without a shell being fired and we were terribly disappointed with the loss of a fine recording. We weren’t disappointed, however, with the breath-taking never-to-be-forgotten trip through Sicily and the toe of Italy in our trustworthy old “Chevvy". E l!
