The silhouette for dresses is slim and figure revealing. The main interest has moved upwards and takes the form of cupped sleevetops, jutting pOCkets and wings of material that sprout in all directions. Colors favored are drab olive and mildew greens. greys and soft browns. Topcoats are cone-shaped. Col- lars rise high to envelope the ears then tied down to follow the sloping shoulder line. Folds stand out stiffly to the sides. The cos- sack coat, with the wide skirt and high collar, shares honors with the cone coat. Both are trim- med heavily with fur. l-lemlines are continuing to re- treat but this trend ls apparent more in the fact that conserva- tive designers have conformed this season with designers like Dior who raised them to mid-calf last season. The new tweed suits shown by Dior and other designers have full jackets belted tightly into the waists. small turndown collars and raglan or dropped sleeves. Box jackets of varying lengths are popular. Mounted sleeves, often padded. are back in favor and the type cut in one with the bodice are on the wane. Neckholes are tricky. The plung- ing variety are around. but high cowl and choker neckllnes and t ,.' wing collars that rise upwards and outward are most favored. A heavlly-pouched back bodice ls frequently seen. It comes on jac- kets as well as on day and cock- BORN THIRTY vcAizslJ soon _ likely to be higher J-RWILLIMMS " ‘- -- manned . . ~ 8'25 coca. new all: Zelifeéllét. vac. l -_-....___. tail wear.

Aug. 22 —('Reuters) - In spite of the sulnimer-‘s drought French wine production in 1949 ls than in any year since the end o! the war. The industry has so far recovered that production. now nearing the pN-WHI‘ level, is today less a prob- lem than its export and sale. The alcoholic content of the 1949 crop is also likely to be above normal-an important factor for export because some foreign mar- kets demand a high alcoholic con- tent. Low alcoholic content was responsible for example, for reduced imports by Switzerland and Bel- gium last year. France produced 1.474.000.000 gallons o! wine and Algeria 3'74- 000.000 gallons in an average pre- war year.

Deer ' Mother and Dad:- We. your children, are assembled here tonight to pay to you .our sincerest respects on this. your 60th wedding anniversary. an oc- casion which is. undoubtedly, a memorable one for you. and in- deed, an unforgettable one for us. Many haprpy years have passed since that first day when you stood together to pronounce those evcr- lasting words and promise "To love and cherish one another." Those golden years have brought to you every measure of fulfill- ment in your life together, and in the happiness which you gave to us, your children. Many times. un- doubtedly. we have caused you uneasiness with our childhood pranks, or our childhood ills, yet you were always slow to scold the one. and always ready to soothe comfortlngly the other. As you pass this great mark of time, your 50th anniversary, we know yo“! are looking back on those years which have brought you closer together, not only through times of joy. but also through those of sadness. and 1n these your love has brought you through to a. fuller measure of happiness. we, your children, can- not empress to you our full mens- ure of gratitude for the many years of love and devotion which you have given to us; however, although our words may be totally inadequate, yet from our hearts we say "Thank you." On behalf of your family we wish you to accept this small gill. in token of our-appreciation of ‘ed as a result viewed by farmers bore out this particular fact. On the other Burnt Point. hand. late seeded grains and field crops which were planted or seed- Mr. and Mrs. John R. Stewart ed late appeared to be suffering from drought. The speaker point- cd out that only too frequently late seeding in this particular area resulted in lower yields, and root crops, particularly turnips, man- gcls and corn came on at a per- iod when haying operations should be underway. By early seeding. crops would be in a position to take advan- tage of available moisture and hueing and thinning operations would be fully completed before the hay was ready to- harvest. Early cutting of hey resulted in a feed of superior quality to late mown hay and facilitates the growth of the aftermath which serves as a very important sup- plementary feed to pastures which often suffer from drought in the mid-grazing season. The inclusion of alfalfa in the regular seeding out mixture has proven very beneficial. particular- ly on the light soil areas of the province. Alfalfa with its deep root system has withstood drought remarkably well and has persist- ed in the meadows for several years thereby improving the qual- ity nf second year hay. The importance of maintaining crops free from weeds cannot be overstressed, the speaker pointed out. and the Supervisor congratu- lated Mr. I-licken on the example he was setting other farmers in the eradication of weeds by care- ful cultural practices. At 4.30 this group reassembled and talks by the different De- partmental officials were heard. The I-Ion. W. F. Alan Stewart. Provincial Minister of Agriculture said that the Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture was aidinE farmers in buying 2-4-D. Mr. Stewart complimented Mr. I-licken on his farm being so free from weeds. Better Swine Mr. E. l-I. Saunders, Livestock Fleldman Dom. Prod. Service, who spoke on Hog Production, said that P. E; I. has an enviable po- sition in the hog industry. Over 50 per cent of our hogs dress Grade A. All other provinces are considerably below this figure. Mr. Saunders said that five carloads of breeding stock has bren ship- ped from P. E. I. “island farmers don't appreciate our own good stock." _he commented. Too many hogs are over-finish- of raising the wrong type of hog. he continued. Further. many farmers were changing too quickly to a low protein teed when raising hogs for market. Another factor which tends to affect the economy of hog production is shipping ovsr- weight and underweight hogs. A farmer receives only about l0 cents for every pound overweight and is losing 50' cents for every pound underweight. For the bene- fit. of the boys and girls present Mr. Saunders outlined the form- ing and operation requirements for a Swine Club. Good Seed Stressed Mr. A. Lelacheur, Dominion Seed inspector. Plant Products Division. stressed the importance of good seed. He stated that an increase of 3 to 4 bushels per acre of Island grain crops would eliminate the need of importing your love and kindness to us, and as e measure of our devotion to you; and es you peu this great milestone we wish for you many more years of happiness together while you walk down the road of life. The Iemlly. ‘(Patriot ploeeo colt!) ' niounraclos '_ your Rest. . inferior quality western grains. The best way to increase yields 'the Speaker continued was to secure a good variety. and the best strain of that particular va- | riety end plant only clean seed. ‘Mr. Leiacheu did not recom- mend that tprmers change com- pletely frorn one variety to an- other in one seilson but to limit their purchase of new seed to .ou- ough for 8 or 4 acres which would supply seed for the next yser if it proved to be superior "l"! the variety already grown. Many Questions Mr. Black then save a brief review of the different projects ,that were being undertaken at the station. During tbs afternoon many questions came up concern- ing farming practices and were ‘dealt with by the different De- partmental officials.

This signal honour is shared by only twenty nine other Councils in the Dominion of Canada and demon- slrates the effectiveness with which the Council operates. Two other Councils in the Maritimes~ St, Leonard, New Brunswick. and Halifax, Nova Srotia, have been given similar recognition.
