If this new strain maintains its performance in the succeeding tests, it should prove of considerable value to the alfalfa grower, lead to cheap- er seed, and thus help in extending the acreage seeded to this crop. The new strain was produced at the Central Elxperlmental I'm-m, Ottawa, as the result of mtercrossing ‘a number of self-fertilizing selections isolated from the Grimm variety. The new strain was tested in i936 in comparison with the standard varieties for yields of hay and seed.

"Just once, that I can recall. That was about three years ago. There was a man cametothe store in a great hurry and wanted to sell u. case of lobsters quickly. His price was right and we bought them. The tins were in good shape, but a. short time later we noticed they had swelled. and on examin- aflon found that they contained tommycod. It was a. pure case of fraud, and the man‘ later returned the money paid him. Just wanted to raise some money in a hurry." “Who was that man?" "I cannot tell you now, but, 1 can locate his name in the records 0f the firm. and mu give it to you later." lMr. Holman was of the opinion that Illegal fishing and canning of lobsters has been going on m; a great many years in this province He remarked it might not. be as bad as in the olden days-wet one was suspicious of more people now, Mr. E.

With u. faster boat, the witness renmrked, he would have accomp- lished more. Questioned as to how many “poachei-s" he would have caught with a faster boat, the witness re- plied, “Two or three, anyway." Mr. Llnklettcr T. M. Linkletter, M.L.A., lobster pecker, Summerside, was the final witness of the afternoon. He said 1w operated u cannery at Grand iRiver, during the spring season, Grand River being located inMal- Dollie Bay- During recent years the witnes said his pack had fall- Ven off considerably. For instance .111 1932 hB packed 646 cases of ilobsters; in last year he kept his factory open but eight days and packed 24 cases of lobsters, al- though he had a nearby factory Duck a quantity for him during the Season. The catch of 1932 was phenomenal-possibly 50 percent was due to sea-weed dying, 5nd the lobsters came inshore for shel- was very large," remarked the wit- ness. “Did You ever keep your factory open a. day or so after the season closed. or open it a day or so be- fore the season opened?" "No sir. I never packed an ille- gal can of lobsters in my life." Witness said that In 1922 or 1923 018d B smell quflntlfv of canned lobsters each year, and gave coun_ Bel a btatemcnt of purchases m“- ing 1935 and 1936. The purchases were made from merchants invar- ious sections of the province. He said cases of canned lobsters re- orlvvd by his mm had not been accompanied by permits; in fact, the witness said, he did not; know anything about permits until re- cently. Mr. Manson said the lobsters were usually tested and apparently W011 Packed. although he was of the opinion a good many were 11. legally canned. 59"?“ 01‘ Bight years ago. Mr. Manson added, he accompanied Mr. Sqllflh-FIKBS. a fishery guardiamto Port Hill, and the guardian there found three or four dozen tins of lobsters in a clothes boiler, under some clothes, on the kitchen stove. The! were being bathed after-can- ning. These were seized by the officers as well as a. sealer which was located in the flour barrel. “You say you never had a per- mit wcwnpanvlnc any lobsters you purchased during the past two years?" l “Not that I know of." “Did Inspector A. C. Martin ever check over your stock and ask you for permits?" "He did about a week or so ago." Patrol Bout Handicapped Russell Cameron, Lot. Sixteen, was the fourth witness of the af- ternoon. He said he was skipper on the Department bout S.D.B. No. 2 last year from July to Nov- ember. He told the Commissioner of his territory and what he had accomplished during the time he held the position. some £35 traps W8" defilroyed and he also assist- ed in the seizing of two canning plants In the woods at Lot Eleven, near the head of the Narrows. In one instance a. case of some i2 or i4 tins of canned lobsters were seized, while in the second case only l. few tins wen seized. No prosocutlo resulted from the seizures. The witness said he f lt that the patrol boat on which h was Cap- tain last year was not fast enough to catch "poachers", and also drew too much water, which did not enable him to get intb various he purchased some lobsters from another packer, but his puck was Exceptionally poor. In one tin test- ed. he found simply a. claw of Iflbfilel‘. wrapped in paper-the tln contained nothing else but water; while in another can he found about one-half an ounce of meat, and the remainder water. He then returned the goods. Asked if he thought there was any illegal packing in Malpeque Bay, the witness said he did not think there was during 1936. What would you say to a. state- ment that some 250 cases of ille- gally packed lobsters came out of there?" “I would not believe it. I think that 20 cases would be the llmit." l-le however admitted that he was familiar only with the south Irish Play In Summerside Scores Success “The Luck of the Irish" the first my, plgy w be staged in Summer- side for two years was presented In 5t. Paul's Hall last night before ‘a capacity audience, by the St. Pauls parish players and will be Present- ed again tonight. This is the first time that this rolllckinl which has only recently been writ- tcn has been produced in this Pm- vincc. The play opens in the cottage of Derry O'Toole, caretake on the Long Island estate of the millionaire Har- rington. Derry receives the sudden i information that his lifetime plans ‘ are swept away by the marriage of his sweetheart, Ellen, to a Dutch- : man on the boat coming over from the Old Country. Then there ap- i pears on his doorstep a lovely, bu‘. ; forlorn, colleen, Nora Mullen. in , search of work. Derry takes her in ~ and of course, falls in love with] her. But he only wins her after a tempestuotrs night when Bar-barn,‘ Harrington's five year old daughter r is believed to have been kidnapped and Nora, having disappeared. is accused of conplicity. Derry succeeds in proving that the crooks are two of the household servants. Then Nora appears with Barbara. having removed her to a place of safety thus foiling the plans of the kid- nappers. Comedy is injected by such scenes as the visit to Derry by Ellen ‘ and her Dutch husband. l It is a delightful play sparkling all through with Irish wit and hn- ‘ mnr and plenty of thrills. The leading role of Derry O'Toole was very r-eafistically portrayed by George Glow who also directed the. performance. The opposite leading part of charming Nora hltifien was beautifully taken by Irene Camcrcq. The cast of characters is as fol- lows:- Dermat O'Toole played by GEOYEB Clow.
