The year 1953 was a profitable one for the poultry producers of Prince Edward Island reported Mr. ,1". M. Nash in making his annual report of the poultry in- du.st:ry at the Agricultural Confer- ence meeting yesterday. It was also one of considerable expan- sion. The year featured high egg and poultry prices to producers and the building of several large laying houses. the most outstand- ing of these being the house built by Ivan Dawson in Cental Bede- que. The first chicken barbecue'ever hold in Prinw Edward Island was at the Experirnerital Station on June 9th. This event was a huge success with approximately 800 persons being served. Many com- pliments were expressed and it was felt that this event did much to publicize the poultry industry. A bigger and better barbecue is planned for 1954. The shipment of mature pullets to Newfoundland continues to be a profitable addition to the poul- try industry. In the vicinity of 40,- 000 puiiets were shipped in 1953. The Newfoundland trade is fast becoming quality conscious and is turning to the Island's better breeders to supply the bulk of their requirements. During 1953 the chick and poult Profitable Year For Poultry Producers hatcheries enjoyed a . successful year. 761.!!! chicks and 32,944 turkey pouits were hatched. 17. on chicks and 22,260 poults were exported. 45.000 chicks were im- ported. Nearly half of all chicks hatched were the NI-IxBiP'R cross. Average hatcha-bllity for chick habcheries 737.; and for turkey hatcheries 'fB'lc. At the present time some main- land chick hatcheries are offer- ing chicks at greatly reduced pricas. Island hatchcrics have had to follow suit or face the possib- ility of losing much of their busi- M58. A large amount of R.O.P. breed- ing stock has been exported from this Province for the past five years. Sales of New Hampshire R.0.P. males and fernalu have gone to Nova. Scotla. New Brun- swick, Quebec and especially On- tario. Whita Leghorn R.O.P. males have been sold in Nova Scotla New Brunswick and a. large order of 480 Broad Breasted Bronze Turkeys were sold in Quebec. R.0.P. breeders have greatly in- creased their capacity during 1953. The number of individual breed- irilg pens have been doubled. They are now operating under a. revis- ed R.0.P. policy which holds much promise for the improvement of poultry together with the reduc- tion of much unnecessary labor. OTTAWA, (CPt -- At lcast four times as many Canadians will be inoculated against poliomyeiitis this year as last, a Federal Health Department official says.

The Health Department recog- nizes that gamma globulin is not the final unswcr in the fight against polio. Health Minister Martin has said that there is lit- tle Justifleatlon for uliduc optim- ism concerning use of gamma globulin as a polio vaccine. At the some time. the official said Tuesday. gamma globulin is the only polio vaccine now avail- able, it is better than nothing, and its use will be expanded in Canada until something bette) comes along.

The Federal Government pro- vided 5480.000 in grants to Con- naught Laboratories to produce gamma globulin from blood sup- plies left over from the war and to the provinces to buy the vac- cine. In addition, the Federal Government also provided another 51,000,000 for polio research, poliol clinics and respirators for patients. This year, the government plans to make grants of 5750.000 t.o pro- vide gamma globulin to the prov- inces and further funds for polio rcsearch. Toronto research work- ers, for instance. are checking water supply and sewage as pos- sible carriers of polio.

All the inform- ation is not yet complete and re- sults are not expected to be known for some time.

Infestation of root maggots on turnips were hea- vier than in 1952. Cutworms were not a serious problem. Damage to beans and cucumber by seed corn maggot was less severe than last season. Potato insects were about normal in abundance, with some heavy infestation of aphids in certain fields. A species of wee- vil which was not previously known to be injurious in this province. caused severe damage to beans cucumbers and beets in one area. Army worms caused severe damage in aiicw grainfields and this may be a warning that the infestation will be heavier next year. Field surveys were continued throughout the past summer but the number of fields under obser- vation will be substantially re- duced from the previous season. Next summer the number of ob- servation turnip fields will again be reduced but more time will be spent in each in order to get more detailed information. These surveys are giving us an excellent opportunity of studying the many factors which influence root mag- gott population and habits. some consideration is being given to the possibility of recommending DDT for turnip root maggot control next summer. General recommen- dations would not apply to the whole Province and it is possible that some system of zoning will have to be followed. Control Experiments Control experiments conducted during the summer of 1953 in- cluded: (1) Aldrin sprays applied at different times throushout the season (2) Different concentrations of aidrin lindane. and lleptachlor mixed with fertilizer and applied to soil just previous to seeding (3) The same concentrates of the same materials applied to the tops of the drills just previous to seed- ing. A very low infestation of root maggots occured in the area where the aidrin spraying expe-T1m9n"5 were conducted and the 1'8-Sulfa obtained were not very conclusive. A reduction of iibout 80 per cent in the infestation was, obtained with 2W9 w. Aldrin applied to the drill at the rate of 30 lbS- P8? acre. Liadane and heptachlor did not prove to be as effective as aidrin. Potato Insect Control In recent years it has been found um, DDT, while controlling most species of potato insects quite well. gives poor protection against aphids. For this reason investiga- tions have been under way since 1951 in the use of combinations of DDT and parathon in an ef- fort to obtain good control of all species. Very good results have been obtained using 2 lb. of 5070 w.DDT with as ”tle as 1-2 lb. of 1575; w. parathon in 100 gal. spray. Increased amounts of par- athon give slightly better results. especially when population: were heavy. Excellent control was also obtained with a. mixture of 25?; DDT emulsion and 596; parathon emulsion at the rate of one quart in 100 gal. of spray. Since parathon is somewhat toxic to humans. several newer in-, secticides are being tested in the hope that a less dangerous mater- ial might be a. suitable substi- tute. Borley Joint Worm Control date. Unfortunately. the maggot infestation on beans in these plots was so light that no slgnifioannt results could be obtained, how- ever, there was a light to medium infestation in the cucumber plots Aldrui and llndane seed treat- ,ments just previous to planting ;gave an excellent control on cu- licumbera. In addition to this ald- irin especially had a marked sti- mulating effect on the growth of the plants. In co-operation with Matthews-Wells Co. a small por- tion of their cucumber seed was treated with aidrin and distri- buted to different growers throughout the province. Reports from these areas indicate that there was very little seed corn ;maggot damage and the plants grew mom rapidly than the others This your we plan on continuing our irivestlgatioim on the control of this insect and it is possible List a large proportion of Mat- thews-Wells Co. seed will be treat- ed bcfore planting. During the year, Dr. F. L. Mac- Eweri. a sueciaiist. in aphids was added to the staff. :Former Student of 3.0.0. Dies At liimouski. fluehec RIMOUSKI, Que, (CP)- Judge Aiiiedee Caron. 56.
