l f - 4 FEBRUARY 25. 1953 Agricultural News" Mr. W. R. Bhaw, Deputy Minis- ter o( Agriculturenretirrned Bat- urday evening from a three day annual meeting of the Canadian l-lorticultursl Council, and reports one of the finest sessions of the council he -has yet attended. M.r. Shaw was accompanied by Mr. E. D. Reid representing the P. E. 1. Potato lrroenctional Com- mittee, and ,M.r..D. A. Macbooa representim the P. I. 1. Potato Marketing Board. All the provinces were well a , eeented, and t discussions covered a wide field. A great deal of attention w paid to trade and tariff matter . and appropriate recommendations co- vering these matters were passed by the general Council. In the Potato Committee a sur- vey of the situation across Canada did not indicate a bothersome eur- pius oi potatoes. Possibly the im- pact, liorwever, of some importa- tlons from Maine on to the lip r Canadian market was reeponei le for a definite weakening in pots- to prices. There was a feeling that when the demand for seed from United states sources takes place, possibly in March, the mar- ket might recover some of its buoyancy. other discussions in the Potato Committee covered the changing of grades to provide for up-to-the-minute developments in. the industry. It was indicated. however. that Canada No. I grade should be maintained on a very high level, and if anything, should be strengthened in so far as quality and grade are concerned. some resolutions suggesting the estab- lishment of a-more appropriate secondary grade were turned back to provincial interests for further study. The Council has received from provincial potato industriu across Canada contributions for the pur- pose of setting up a World Champ- ionship Trophy on P0?-Hi-065 llv the Royal Fair. The matter of selec- tion oi a suitable trophy is now under process of arrangement. and the regulations under which the trophy shall be awarded have been well decided upon. The exhibit of potatoes in this competition will be thirty potatoes to a sample. and me itraphy will be awarded on a seedlpctato basis only. 2 ' Meetings The time is now approaching when the meetings of farm or- ganizations will be arranged. It has been suggested that these meetings be held about the middle oi the week commencing March ilth. The organisations interested ill this series will be the Dairy- mer.'s Association. the Sheep Breeders Association, the Far- mer's Institutes, arid the Federa- tion of Agriculture. The swine Breeders' Association show some preference to having their Annual meeting held later in the year. possibly in May. In any event. full announcement will be made regarding these meetings in the local press. Cleasiinl Grain Among the many odd jobs that can be done around the farm these days. clearing the seed grain is one that do it ttentlon. Unless you are one of the lucky individuals who have your own fanners, the grain has to be bag- ged and hauled to the local power- cleaner. If the owner has not started cleaning. a little agitation .on your part will go a long way in avoiding delays and headaches when seeding time comes around. These power 'cleaners can do a good Job. and most of them do. Poor cleaning Jobs can often "be blamed on the farmer. That is, he expects the operator to do the in possible. He delivers 100 bushels of dirty grain the day before he plans to start seeding, and ex- pects the operator to clean it, along with a dorm others. and give him back 95 bushels of first class seed. In the first place. no grain is so good that at least one-fifth won't be taken out. In order to clean out weed seeds as couch, wild Buckwheat, and wild Vetch, you have to take out the small and light oats. Further. 300 bushels a day the maximum clipaclty of these cleaners. If the operator is rushed and has to run through 600 bushels, he ot possibly do a good Job on YOU? grain. Do be fair to him and yourself by delivering your seed 5' In early. sometimes the operator is at fault. If he is conscientious, he will try to do a good Job. but his machine may be in bad repair. Brushes and screens wear out. and if they are not replaced. it is l1llm0lla impoulble to do a good ob There are 'atill a great many hand fanncre throughout the country, but good screens are scarce. Many of the companies that manufactured these cleaners are no longer in existence, so it is difficult to obtain new screens. one alternative is to buy a screen for a. larger -machine and cut it down. This may cost more than the proper screens; but the satis faction of being able to do a g cleaning job easily warrants the extra cost. ' Regardless of the size or make of the machine. the workin Prin- rmle is the same. All eeaners have three main parts: a toll screen. a bottom screen. and s fan- The site of the top screen should be large enough to let all the cod grain through. but small enoug to remove double kernels, strawl. thistle heads and deed insects The bottom screen is the one that tires out most of the weed Iced!- have holes M! t the small ker- sol that the weed BIYI. : In adjusting the wind. tart oil Theto ' P.

Pruning There are many orchards over this Province, but very, very 'few get -any attention. Many people will say that their orchard is no good, and not worth any-attention If that is so, why have useless trees occupying valuable land. Root them out. On the other hand if you like apples and have good varietiu, why not give the orchard a little attention. Every orchard should be at least pruned and sprayed. . . Pruning develops trees which are structurally strong, allows sun- light to penetrate to all bearing branches, and makes casier,thin- hing, spraying and harvesting Priming should begin at the time the tree is set out, and it should be studied and pruned at least every two years to obtain the desired type. which is known as the Modified Central Leader. The tree is encouraged to be squatty. with wide spreading branches. A branch with a wide crotch is stronger than one with "a small angle. Branches should be en- couraged to grow out from all sides of the trunk, and try to have no branch directly opposite an- other. p Heavy pruning any one year tends to upset the balance of the' tree. produce water sprouts or sucker growth, dense foliage. and a consequent production of large. late-maturing fruit of poor color and low quality. For this reason. remember to prune a little every one or two years. The best time to prune is either March or April. If there is black knot in either your cherry or plum trees. cut it off and burn. This should be done before the first of March, as spores again become active and will spread the disease. . All cuts may be done with a pruning knife or a priming saw. Every out should be made as close as possible to the supporting limb or trunk and then given a coat of white lead.

In spite of themselves, they treat the 13 year old as a child. and he already feels that he is "a kid" no longer. All the physical changes that are taking place in him, and all the new 't'hougIhln and feelings, give him, this assurance. He is really not the child he was, even a year ago. Many of his problems and interests are similar to those of the older teen-ager. - If parents still stand over the i3 year old while he studies,iftIhey fix his bed-time for him, and his time -for recreation they give him little chance to learn to budget his time. It they give him an aliowarrice and ask for it strict accounting, or permit him to wheedie extra money when he has spent his own foolish. ly. tihev should not be surprised if he does not know the value of money. later on. Nor is it too early to allow a young person to plan and buy part of his whrdrclbe. All of these matters elm be left to the young teen-ager with less and less surpervlsicn. 0 And lastly. and perhaps most important, the choice of friends. of the same and the opposite sex. This is an inalienable right of the child at every age. If parents open their homes to any friend their child brings in. only then can they help him to choose his friends wisely. ,.

Washing in water becomes Holy Baptism; the taking of food and drink becomes Holy Communion. Physical birth, life. and death have their counterparts in the story of the soul. Naturally enough, therefore. the daily al- ternation of light and darkness, day and night, came to play its part in the new Christian symbol- is 11': 2. 2. EV m. In the old Testament it was taught that God had created the darkness as well as the light-to him they werg both alike. both equally open to his penetrating gaze. Yet darkness was the time when man found his path beset with danger. It was the time "when all the beasts of the forest do move." The path which was dark might well turn out also to be slippery. Darkness came tp be a symbol of evil, of danger, and even of death itself. 2. 2. p. 0 It In the New Testament. so great seemed the contrast between the way of men illuminated by the light of Christ, and the some way without that illumination, that Christians came to call the new life "light." and the old life "dark- ness." Nowhere is the contrast more clear than in the words which St. Paul says to his readers: "Ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord." The same theme runs through many of the New Testament books. St. John, for example, records words of Jesus in which he claims to be the true source of light: "I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of iif ." Those who believed that the Christian way was the way of light found in this belief a power- ful moral incentive. It was incum- bent on them, and on those whom they could influence. to "walk at children of light." The "works of darkness" those deeds and thoughts which were natural enough in the old life -- were now out of place. The way of light was the safe way. the profitable way. the way which led to increasing fellowship with man. and to deep- Lenten Meditation- Flcla The Columns of The Tlniee, Inside: SPIRITUAL BYMBOLI enlng peace with God. The works of darknus were "unfruitful,” a source of danger. a cause for shama They created a cloud between the soul and the sunshine of the love of God. "Awake. than that sleepest, and arise from the dead. and Christ shall give thee light," was one of the watchwords of the primitive Church. It has been suggested that it may have been spoken as the new convert arose from the water of baptism in set out on the new way of light. Certainly "the illum- inaticn" was on. of the earliest names for baptism. O O O The challenge to "walk as chil- dren of light" does not grow out of date. There is much darknem in the world, and Christian people have to be on their guard not in allow the darkness of doubt, des- pair, and evil to penetrate their own lives and characters. on the contrary, they are to be so filled with light that in the surrounding darkness they can "shine as lights in the world." For this to be possible they must make a double effort. They must reject the insidious attractions oil "the deeds of darkness" and. more important, so fix their eyes on Christ that their own personalities come to reflect, "as in a mirror, the glory of the Lord." a PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND HOSPITAL ANNUAL MEETING Notice is hereby given that ll pursuance of the Act of Incm-pore ation a public meeting of all con: tributors to the Prince Edward Island Hospital will be held in this class room. new nuraes' red sidence, I" iottetown on Thuru day, February 28th. .1953, at I P.
