'CANARIES KEPT FLYING I heard a story at a farm con- ference here this year that I want to pass along Dr. R.S. MacLachlan, Ottawa, was speaking to the Canadian Seed Growers. Association here. The director of the plant protec- tion division, Canada Depart- ‘ment of Agriculture, had that in this modern age, scien- tists and college professors, are called on. for help in finding |some of the answers to the pro- jblems of developing eyer im- ‘proving seed. But sometimes, he observed, even the college pro- fessors do not have all the an- swers. That was his introduction to the ‘story; and it “goes ~some- thing like this: It seems a college greteane travelling on the highway found he was following a man with a small truck, who was acting strangely. Every ‘half-: | mile. or so; the truck driver would stop the vehicle, grab a ‘funk of a two-by-four stick from the cab and whack the side of the truck a couple of times. Then he would go around and whack the other “side of the “truck box, then said . “book” of Great” tonight at midnight {f United Steel Workers Union begins its threatened strike (AP Wirephote), # ~ Competitive Plowing Time Is Here Again - aac on for another Walf-mile~~ or so, and repeat the perform- ance. Finally the professor's cur- iosity got the best of him. Se he drove ahead of the truck. driver, gave a stop signal, walked to the driver's side of the truck and asked politely why the man was stopping his vehicle, then whacking the side of the truck box with thé stick? To which the truck driver replied: _‘Well,you-_see,_it's this way. This is a half-ton truck I'm driving. But I am hauling a ton_of-canaries._So_1_have to keep one-half of them flying call the time.” HORSES OF THE PAST Many of the’ stories I come across in my research of earlier years on Prince Edward Island, tell of the care that was exercis- ed to bring good, really good Stallions and mares to this pro- vince. And it did pay off; Island horses developed a reputation that lasted as long as the horse was used for farm work and transportation. This letter came sometime ago but I- found it this week, .among my many other papers, and here it is “Seeing your Old Barrister, I may say that he was half Shire and half Clyde, registered in the-select Clyde Britain ‘His dam writeup -about , By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (AP) — Often | Hubert H.

But a“more realistic assessment would be that, with minor fluctuations, an equable relationship is likely —-tocon- tinue.
