Ill * n- Ill For several years the Queensland (Australia) Main Roads Commission has been experiment- ing with a machine invented by L. H. R. Irvine, a sydncy engineer, for the baking of the surface of formed-tip clay and black soil roads. The tiiachine is a travelling furnace, the heat of which as the tnachitie moves over the surface 0f the road, bakes the soil and converts it into a suit- able and lasting pavement. The experiments, which have been eoutiiietetl iii the Toowooiiiba district, have proved so successful that the com- mission has purchased a new and larger ma- chine for baking roads throughout the extensive black soil regions of Western Queensland. The new machine, which embodies many improve- ments on the experimental model, will weight when iii oporation about twenty-seven tons. lt is thirty feet long and is able t0 bake~the soil at the rate of approximately sixty feet an honr. its operating heat is about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. n- : a The Chicago Daily Tribune carries a fiill page advt. of the ltlarshail Field C0,, displaying a tnagttificeut illustration of the silver fox pelt 'o. 298i) for WlIlClI they paid $2.100 at the Fromm Bros. fur sale.

Sin-A wise man has written that the measure of a man's re- liability can be gauged by his ut- teranoesand writings on public questions. If that statement ts cor- rect, then I am afraid the reliabL- tty of Mr. J. Walter Jones, M. A., M. L. A., is seriously jeopardized. In a former letter I corrected some statements made by Mr. Pro- fit and Mfr. Jones. at. a meettnK 0X the Prince Edward Island Horse Breeders’ Association, believing that,‘ the information supplied would sat.- isfy the interested parties. Mr. Jones comes back with s, letter In yesterday morning's Guardian re Exhibition Grants, etc. which I am replying to so that people can see for themselves the lengths to which Mr. Jones will go with misrepre- sentations tn order to injure the Exhibition. The following ls a statement from his letterz-"Thiit it is not; even up to any Class B or lower grade exhibition of which I have any record." It. ls certainly surprising that Mr. Jones would not have tak- en the trouble to go through the prize lists of other Exhibitions be- fore writing to the press. To put the matter briefly, THE NOVA SC-OTIA PROVINCIAL EX- ,IIIBITION—A CLASS A FAIR»- whicli has the entire province of Nnva Scotia behind it with a popu- lation six times greater than Prince Edward Island, offers in its CATTLE classes a total of $3,649. 780.60. In the same HORSE CLASS- ES as appear in our prize list. Nova Seotla offers $1,518. as against our $1.686. In SHEEP CLASSES Nova Senlia offers $529. as against our $496.50. In SWINE Nova Scotia of’- fers S302.-as against, our $436. In POULTRY it is impossible to make up from their prize list. the amount offered. Ours ls equivalent to 5H1. The above figures refer only to LIVl-J STOCK and do not include the prize list for the dairy products and the hundreds of exhibits which are shown in the Main Building. In addition we paid out. to our various livektock exhibitors for freight (train or trucks) the sum of $996.06. Freight allowance was first sug- gested by the ‘ate Honorable Walter M. Lea, who believed that the ex. litbitors all over the Island should be on an equal basis so far as cost of exhibiting is concerned. In order to carry this out it was necessary to guarantee the Efillibit/OI‘ from any‘ pat". of the Island the amount of‘ freight. it, cost. htm to bring 1115 ex- hibits to Charlottetown. Mr. Jones‘ WF-dvrs Whv this freight bill has increased so mtteh in the past; two years. The reasons are-ll) that the number of exhibits have tn- creased and second that; we now pay freight on every exhibitors" stock. even within the ten miles radius—Mr. Jones‘ stock included, It. would involve far less clerical wottk for us if the Prize List was increased by the amount paid out In freight. and would no doubt make the Prize List look much more attractive without costing the As- sociation any more money. But it would also cut down out‘ entry fist, by making it more difficult for the far away competitor to show. As the obiect of the Exhibition is to improve the SllOCk of the many, rather titan the few breeders. we believe the freight allowance should be continued. Mi‘. Jones does not give us any credit for having year after year increased our Prize Last. until the past year 1t. was the 2mg- est in history. JUDGBS- Re Judges Fees. which have increased very considerably and were $812. last. year. Our exhib- ttois have demanded that the very best. judges obtainable in Canada be bicuglit. here, and sparing no ex- pense we brought them. If the ex- hibltois were satisfied with Mart- tlme men as ivere formerly supplied, the cost. would have been very much lessened. The time occupied l" Judging has increased very ma- lerlfllly. and that. of course adds to the judging expense. RIBBONS FOR LIVE STOCK. Mr. Jones is certainly hard up for somethinfl to find fault, with when he obtects w the ribbons given to the prize winners. The mater-tat for these ribbons has for years been purchased locally and they are made up by the Patriot Publishing COIHDBHY. and we believe that we B?!

Durlng I-ai-mers’ Week a discus- sion came upon this subject and a member of our legislature found .12. to criticise our county exhibit- ions aiid parochial fairs. I am sorry titat. the gentleman was not. better informed on the matter. He left the impression that. the Prince County Exhibition comprised only a part of West Prince which is not so. His criticism was fn stronger language when he dealt with the Mont Carmel and Egmont. Bay fair, of which I am a. director. Now fn order to give your readers m idea of the progress achieved by this fair I may say that, over 30 years ago the ratepayers of the Urbinville ‘ district decided to have an exhibition at, the suhool. In order to foster the interest In Farmer's Institutes which were even then doing a. great deal of good it was made a. strict mile that. only members of Farmer's Institutes and their families were allowed to oom- pete. The first fair was small, es- pecialiy 1n cattle. If I remember correctly only one calf (a. very good exhibit) appeared‘ tn the fink. Nothing daunbed the directors de- cided to take 1n all the Institute members or the parish o! Egmotit. Bay, followed the following year by the inclusion of the members of the same organization of the neigh- bouring parish of Mont Carmel. The prime reason why I mention the Itistltute member is on ccount of the remark made by the member of’ the Legislature that a certain 1n- dlVldUBl had told htm that he ltved within five miles of the exhibition grounds and was not. allowed to compete. No doubt this Individual Ls not a. member of the Farmer's Institute. We still hold firmly to the same rule as we think we recelvt! better cooperation from people who will join ‘some association for the advancement of agriculture. I have great respect and even admiration for this M. L. A. but feel that in live stock especially we wing; hQpg for financial and other reasons, to be able to compete with him t,“ exhibitions. We also have never missed one year since its institution. although some years we had to get along without a grant. As for provincial grants, I may say that we have succeeded afhr much effort tn obtaining first $100.00 which amount has been gradually raised until now we are tn receipt of an annual grant. of $400.00. Last year we had over I100 entries and paid out approximate- ly 81000.00 in prizes. The fair is we‘! patronized and tn poultry, do- mastic science. grain, vegetables, fruit. butter. etc, we think we are doing excellently. 01 the one 3°11- Ell-I‘? calf shown the first year at Urbanvflle we now see tn the ring 40 to 45 calves. some very credit- able We have made some progress and ff we were not short of space both in ground and in buildings we would be glad to extend over the whole country.

Our educational system and cur- riculum, particularly of P. W. C01- lege. came in for a heavy over- hauling. Some zealous and well-, meaning spirits would revolutionize‘ the system at one fell swoop, and all, or nearly all seemed to labor under a miss ension of the uuilIClIIlHn of P. W.

One speaker propounded l. unique and one might almost; say pervert- ed, idea of selective vocational training. He may be right, but. his theory seems w be opposed to the Natural Law. Another speaker stated that “we, have been educating qur boys off ~ the farms for the last. fifty years”. With all deference to Mr. McKen- zle's dtsoemment and mature judgment. there fl a. possibility that he 1s right. only to a small degree. "Even great Homer nods." It is an involved question, a great many factors enter into it. Time- and space will not permit. the enu-i ineration of them-even if one could think of them all-our insular po- sttfon.

IS PRESENT ' Most of us are apt to think that 1f iui X ray has been taken ot‘ tJu stomach and there ts no cancer OI ulcer present, there can't. be much wrong with the stomach. Our stom- ach and Intestinal specialists-gas- tro-entierologist-s -— usually O-ESSIIY Xray stomach examination results as either pos1ttve—sliowing cancer or ulcer, or negative — showing neither cancer noi- ulcer. However me fact that. the Xrzy film reveals no cancer or ulcer doe: not mean that, there is no trouble In the stomach because at. the Mayo Clinic, Dr. Geo. B. Eusterman tells us in the Journal of the Amencan Medical Association only about. one- flfth of the cases of chronic dys- pepsia are due to cancer or ulcer. It 1s cheering moi-mutton then t4 know that. despite the great number of cases of chmnlc dyspepsia that: four out of five are neither cancer nor tiloer. Dr. Eusterman further stat/es, “Stomach disturbances due to dis- ease ofthe abdominal organs (um to disease of t/he stomach Itself), in my opinion, exceed in importance the upset or nervous stomach so frequenty seen." These cases due to trouble or dfs- turbance of the other abdominal organs make up from one-third t0 two-fifths of all cases, whereas the number of cases of neurosis (or nervous stomach) make up about one-fourth of the total." Now as chronic indigestion m‘ dys- pepsia is so common ft; ts interest.- fng to know that only about; 20 in every 100 of these cases are really due to ulcer or cancer; about 35 tn 40 are due to trouble in the other organs tn the abdomen; about 25 are due to neurosis (emotional disturb- ances or upsetments); and about 15 to 20 are clue to disturbances in organs even farther away, that. is tn lungs. kidneys, and other organs. Naturally this means that ff the Xmy shows no organic trouble of the stomach itself, the physician, by questioning, further examination and use of laboratory methods, will try first. to find 1f nearby organs- particularly the liven-are at fault, and then later look to organs still farther arway. If no trouble is found anywhere, then even further questioning may brfim out. the fact. that the patient, perhaps without realizing it. is undergoing some emotional disturb- ance. In fact the emotional disturb- ance may be due to fear that: con- 061‘.
