These were “Country Gardens” and “Amiairyllis” Mr. Cudmore on head respectively. V These measures are designed to improve the quality of Prince Edward Island lambs by discoun- ting farmers who market lambs in the wrong weight range and who market lamibs which have been neglectful in castrating, doc- king and finishing. The Sheep Breeders Association also recommend rail grading and marketing of lamibs. This is real- ly the best way to market lairn-bs in that the producer is then paid on the dressed weight basis ac- cording to the grade of the car- cass. It ensures that the producer gets paid according to the qual- ity of his production. Rail grad- ing has been available to farmers for a number of years with little interest shown and is still avail- able but this system of live grad- ing may be more popular. Now is the time to makeplans to have top quality lamlbs for sale this -summer and fall. (1) Take a little time now to dock and cas- trate your lambs. (2) Plan to dip,, spray or dust all the sheep and lambs after shearing for tick control. (3) Pill ad-ult sheep and drench lambs with phenothiazine, for worm control, before going on pasture. (4) Make plans now to have a special pasture to fatten the lambs this fall. This may be hay aftermath, oats, turnips, kale or other crops. (5) Plan to mar- ket your lambs at the proper weights. PACKAGE BEES For the beginner it is impor- tant that all of the necessary e- quipment be ready and set up when the bees arrive. If the e- quipment is not ready when the bees arrive, serious losses may result due to the last minute rush. When the bees arrive, smear the package with a sugar syrup and place in a cool place. The syrup will quiet the bees and when they are released. If the day is cool and dull the bees could be released upon arrival, otherwise they should not be released until late afternoon or evening.

HOW TO INSTALL One of the many variations In the method of installing package bees, the one given below has give us the best results: frames to make room for the ship- ping package. Put the frames which were removed in a safe dry place until needed. 2. Pry off the small square board on top of the package. Jar the bees to the bottom of the pack- age then remove the feeder and queen cage. Remove the cork from the end of the cage, making sure that the queen doesn’t get out and then fill the hole with granulated honey. . between the top bars of two of the frames of the hive, shake a few bees out of the package a- round the queen cage. Place the package in the space provided when five of the frames were re- moved. If the package opening is left on top, all of the dead bees can be removed when the pack- age is taken out. If the queen comes in a cage fitted with candy in the hole, insert a metal through the candy so as to enable the beeslto release the queen more readily. 4. Place a wood or heavy pap- er convering cut the size of the super to keep the heat in the hive. The cover should have a hole in the center over which the fedr can be inverted. 5. ‘Place the empty super on top of thehive to project the can and close the hive with a cover weighted down with a weight so “Praise of Vienna" -- (St..rauss).‘ totp super and the hive cover so‘ 1.

In Magic, Hearing Told By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer FREDERICTON (CP) —— The word “magic" still haunts the consumer and as a result she feels she still can get something for nothing at the corner store, spokesmen for Atlantic coopera- tives argued Tuesday as they criticized buyers’ hafbits. Co - operatives and consumeri struggle: organizations had to “against a plethora of advertis- ing that appeals to every emo- tion e_xce.pt common sense,” W.H, McEwen, manager of Maritime Co - operative Services Limited, told the royal comrmission on price spreads. “Truly here common sense is not too common. It could be said that the way to sell is to put the cheapest possible article in the most expensive possible package with the most elaborate advertis- ing and with the greatest possible appeal to the people’s belief in magic or desire to get something for nothing. “Then price is no obstacle and price spread of no significance.” The co-operatives’ attack de veloped as the association argued that packaging can add to the producer-consumer price spread. “I gather,” said commission member Howard MacKichan'of Halifax, “that you don’t approve of fancy packaging." BUYER VICTIMIZED “Certainly packaging can be popular but it is definitely being ioverdone," Mr. McEwen replied. The hour Chorus number left’ “The buyer is being victimized. “There is a real need for use- that i can not be blown away. Re- duce the entrance of the hive to about 1/2 inch. , 6. After the colony has "been sat- isfactorily installed, you may re move the empty package the next day if it is warm, but do not dis- turb the frames with bees on them, replace the five frames and close the hive up again. Do not distrub again for a week when you should look to see that the queen is okay and laying. Note: —- Keep sugar syrup in the can at all times. 4-H‘ CONFERENCE Mr. S. D.
