Norway, South Africa, Southern Rhodesia, Aus- lralin, New Zealanrl, thirty from the United States, and the' Cana- rllan visitors will be from British Columbia, Alberta.

It is htressed that through understanding of the linsir problems confronting every country there will consequently follow peace and harmony among nations. Swine Erysipelns Swine Eryslpelas is an acute sometimes rhronlc disease of swine of all ages: p rticularly of pigs weighing fifty o one-hundred and fifty pounds. It is caused by a germ and characterized in acute cases by the usual signs of a gr-nrral infection and in Chronic cnses by iinihriftincss, general de- lxility and arthritis. Distribution Swine eryslpelas and infections rnilsed by the same germ in .other animals are known to occur in many parts of the world. In Eu- rope the infection in swine ap- pears in epidemic portions in cer- imn countries from spring until l'RI'I' fall and occasional outbreaks are observed (luring the colder months of the year. The disease has been reported from North Am- crira. China, Japan. Australia and in New Zcaland. The germ has been isolated from various species of fowl In Europe and especially in America it is lmown to cause serious losses among turkeys. it .1 nlso interesting to note that upon occasion the same germ has liven isolated from calves. In Prince Edward Island the disease appears to be assuminit in- VITRSIIIR importance. Cases have llrvn reported throughout the an- lire summer months. but chronic forms of swine erysipolns have been recognized throughout the vntire year. It has been observed Iii all forms and in pigs of all .-igrs. Transmission Nnturnl infection in swine oc- curs most commonly via the all- mentary tract. Soil, food, and water are readily contaminated by wk animals haeausr the manuri-pencil to club member Dorothy Dlx's x N his hly 'iiid ii;ii'an'F and urine contains the germs. Willie ilyniptoms of swine ery- slpelas vary according to the severity of the case, the resist- once of the animal, and the stage of the disease. Four chief clinical forms are recognized. There is tha acute or septicemia, the arth- ritic form, the skin form, and the heart form. Acuta eryiilpelas is the most im- portant. and common form. and the one in which most deaths occur. It presents symptoms of acute in- fection which chiefly localizes in the intestines nnd skin. The skin form or so called Diamond Skin Disease is the mildest form of swine erysipeias. The symptoms resemble those or hives. The arthritic and heart forms are usually a sequelae of acute erysipelas. It must be borne in mind, as one can gather from the above description, that it is not always easy to differentiate the different forms of swine erysipeliis; also it must be further remembered that several forms of this disease can easily be confused with some of the more serious infectious and contagious diseases such as Hog Cholera. Therefore, it is very im- portant to have a correct diag- nosis established. When an acuraie diagnosis has been made the sick pigs can then be treated and the others pro- tected against the ravages of this disease. Since the disease is transmis- sible to man extreme care should be taken in handling infected ani- mals. ' Swine with the chronic Qrpe of erysipelas should be eliminated from the herd. Houses and equip- mant should be disinfected. Every effort should be made to safeguard against bringing erysip. alas infection onto the farm. Only hogs from eryslpelns free herds should be purchased. Consult your district veterinar- ian in regard to prevention and control of swine erysipelas. If your pigs become sick do not hesi- tate to obtain help from your dis- trict veterinarian thus minimiz- ing your losses. Club News On August 3 the Baldwlnis Road Poultry Club held a very success. ful poultry tour. The club tour was under the direction of Mr. D. 5. Pentock and Harry Robbins of the Department of Agriculture and Mr. Peter MacKenna of Baldwin's Road. Mr. Leonard MacDonald of the C043? Services gave the club mem- bers a very interesting tour of their killing plant and Egg Grad- ing Station. The club members were very fortunate in seeing an up-to-date chick hatchery operated by the Island Co-op Services. Mr. Joe Dowling, manager of the hatcliery, gave an interesting talk on "Hatchery Management". The next place of visit by eluh mem- bers was the Agricultural Lab. where Dr. George Fisher gave the members a short talk on Poultry Diseases after which he showed the members around the various departments. The club members had an opportunity in nbserve the poultry roundhouse at the Experj. mental Station and also to observe their poultry pastures. Mr. Walter Mullins of Bedford who has one of the finest poultry buildings on Prince Edward ls- land was most co-operative in showing the club members through his buildings.

The following are the results of the races: 100 yard dash--boys winner: Merlin Gormlcy. 100 yard dash-girl: over 12- winner: Marjorie Trllinor. 100 yard dash-boys under 12- winncr: George McKennn. 100 yard dash--girls under 12-- winner: Jane Curran.

Fashions Continued from page 2 lace there which are still being made by women of the cottages in Ceylon. Women have iilways had equal rights with men in Ceylon, she said. At the present time they have equal political and legal rights and absolute control over their property, which they can sell without consent of their hus- bands. They have had voting rights since the universal fraiichalse was granted to men and women in I931. "Under this uliivarsnl franchise, wish." With 85 per cent of the popula- tion llving in rural areas, Ceylon is an agricultural, rather than an industrial country. Women's In- stltutes were organised 23 year! ago, and the work has grown pro- gressively until today there is a membership of 40.000 in about 800 institutes. Institutes concern them- selves mainly with food produc- tion. health work and cottages in- dustrles. Rural women work in the fields and have plenty of leisure time for these cottage industries, which include weaving on hand looms. lace-making. and a great deal of rush and cane work. such as shop- ping bags and beach hats. The type of work they do depends a great deal on the raw available in their district. I0 "V5 cost of construction.
