JANUARY 27. 1954 1 Agriculmml -. a... News P.I.l.DepariInentofAgrlculture OI! Dairy Indutry The dairy industry of Prince Edward Island continues to give . good account of itself. During the past year we have had what is possibly the highest level of milk production in the history, of the Province. Butter production amounted to approximately 5.710,- ooo pounds. while cheese production was also increased over the prev- ious year It's level of 550,000 pounds. Not only was the volume of production increased. but qual- jly siso improved. In addition to butter and cheese production one or the provincial organizations manufactured a largo illilnlvil-y 0! powdered milk. and also evaporat- ed milk. Both products are meet- ing with excellent reception on our markets. It is interesting to note that the total milk production for Canada lsst year approximated 17.4 billion pounds, and it is predicted that there will be a further increase this year to 18 billion pounds pro- vldlng production conditions are favorable. Butter production also increased by 21 million pounds over 1952, and stocks on January lat amount- ed to about '11 million pounds. union is a record for this time. It is estimated that at the begin- ning of our heavy production sea- son on May 1 we will have around 35 million pounds of butter in ex- Miss of domestic needs. Much of this. of course. is held by the Federal Government under Price support program. It is interesting to note that our total annual but- far consumption since margarine nas introduced into the Canadian trade has fallen by nearly 45 mil- lion pounds; a decline of about 23'.b per capita. Livestock At December 1. 1953 The following figures on lllve- slnck production are rather inter- in-ting. Hogs on farm at December 1 were estimated at 4,721,000; 10 per cent below the 6.231.000 level on the sense date a year previous- iy, There was a greater decrease at eastern Canada than in the west. Prince Edward Island figures showed 69.000 as against 72.000 of lhe prevloug year; Nova Bcotia 42.- 000 compared with 53.000: Ind NEW Brunswick 65.000 complied Wilh 71,000. The number of sows far- rowlng was about 9 per cent lower. but the average yield of.plgs was higher than in the PTEVIOU-9 Y9”- According to intentions reported by farmers at December 1 it is estimated that over 30 per cent mo;-9 gowg will IIITOW in the llx months period ending May 31. 1954. than had occurred durilix the same period in 1953. These figures. of course .are simply estimates. and while they give an indication of the trend they may be lllbleiii against the actual figures to con- siderable revision. Reports from the nest indicate that there will be considerable expansion in hos Di'0' duction in the Prairies. A survey now being made on Prince Ed- ward Island would indicate to date that there is not the ex- p.-insion in sow imatinnl W” l3 indicated in the 13.3.3. Report- when the survey is collliiliilld rurther figures in this connection will be presented. . Potatoel Potatoes are still rolling merrily in market -- at least merrily as far as quantities are concerned. but not so merrily as far as re- iurns are concerned.

Iirriseisan short Course Wlaassadu on Tuesday. Febru- ary so and running ihroluh until Friday afternoon. February at. an agricultural short course will be held at the Vocational School in Charlottetown. This course is da- all those engaged in farming. beading authorities in their res- pective fields will be giving lac- tures and practical demonatrl tlons. There will be lectures and dlJcus- slons on soil. cultivation, drainage, fertilisers and manures, seed in- spection. cereals and grasses, pas- tures and pasture management, plant diseases and pests. construc- tion of buildings and dairy stables, farm records and accounting, crop rotation. root production and con- trol oi diseases, cash crops such as cucumbers. peas. beans; potatoes will be discussed in varieties and seed stock. fertilisation. disease control and marketing; cleaning and handling grain, marketing field crops. poultry and livestock, man- agement of the farm woodlotfand a visit to the mperimentai ata- tlon and Falconwood Farm. A panel discussion will be held on the construction of silos, grass silage, corn silage and their com- parative feeding values with hay. this will be on Friday morning the nlnteenth commencing at eight forty-five. several periods will be devoted to the care and management of sheep, swine, cattle and poultry. In addition to this there will be practical discussions on the feeding and nutrition of the various classes of livestock. Animal health will be dealt with under the various headings throughout the length of the course. This will provide practical instructions as to what an owner of livestock should be in a posh- tion to do to maintain the health of his stock. other interesting features of the course will be an afternoon de- voted to the care of farm machin- ery, this will be done by actually working on the different machin y in the shop; also, there will be practical demonstrations in car- pentry and care of tools and masonary. On Friday the twenty-sixth the entire day will be devoted to mar- ket gardening, small fruits and horticulture. A cordial invitation is extended to all those who are interested in this course or any part of it. would you kindly direct your in- qllrles to the supervisor of the Vocational School. soaps and Detergents Do you know that there are available now four different types of packaged soaps and detergents for your use. and that these are made up so that they look after almost any type of household wash- ing Jobs? (1) First of all there is pure soap which comes in flakes, powder or bar, e.g. Maple Leaf Plakes. Ivory snow, Ivory Flakes, Princess Flakes, Lux. Nothing can touch pure soap in soft water for wash- ing such things as woolens, delicate personal and household items and lightly soiled cottons and linens. But how many of us have soft water? , . (2) There is the built soap which contains an alkaline compound to aid in removal of heavy soil, a "whiter than white" floureacent dye and soap, e.g. Thrift soap Flakes. Qulx. Chipso, nlnao. Oxydol. supersuds. These are especially good for heavy or greasy soil on cottons and linens. They are not recommended for wool or very fIne' fabrics. (3) There is the light duty synthetic detergent or "soepleal soap.' At present there are only two on our grocery store shelves in powder form. c.g. Draft and Val but there are many more of these sold for hair shampoos. These are excellent for washing wool, delicate fabrics. fugitive coloured articles. etc., where the nearly neutral resc- tlon of the compound is import- ant. They are, good for dishes, for if we let the dishes drain the lather simply slips off leaving the dish without a smear. These are good for any kind of water - hard or soft or as "salt as the sea". (4) These are heavy duty-built detergents, e.g. Tide. Fab. Burl, Bye. These contain one of the synthetic detergents plus alkaline and other -builders to increase their soil-removing power. and generally, one of the floureacent dyes. Many now contain a special compound, carboxymethyl cellulose, to help prevent greying. which was formerly a defect in laundering with synthetic detergents. Tile advantage of these defer-gents is that they are Just as good in hard water as in soft. for they do not form scum as does soap. These detergents have captured the mar- ket in the hard water areas. Wlsle-rloed Proper loading is important for successful laundering in any wash- ing machine. In the United states recently extensive stu was made which included w cg some pounds of soiled-clothes from I2 different families in which five different automatic washers and I reliable well-'0 conventional or non-automatic washer were used for comparison. load of clothes or too many large pieces together are the cause of many complaints against washers. During the etudy 75 housewives phoned that their machines would not remove.scil. The trouble often was overloadim.

Alberry Plains, was held from her late residence on Jan. 25. The service at the home and grave was conducted by Rev. John MacKay, B.D.. Vernon. Four sons were pallbearers: David, Charles. Thomas and William; also Patrick Valley and Brendan Cur- ran. Burial was in the Vernon River United Church Cemetery. Personals Among those from Charlotte- town. who attended the funeral of the late Mr. W, A. Moquarrle. Harnpton. were Messrs. Harlan Found, Malcolm Moxenzic, Floyd Drake, Bordon Myers and Keith Myers. the clothes that make up an 3. pound load. It was also found that a com- bination of large and small pieces was most practical and satisfac- tory for family washing. Combina- tions of small items washed well because they could move freely, but a load of sheets. for example, gave trouble. Ill agitator-type washers a load of sheets could not move freely for cleaning. ”blllowed" around the agitators, and turned over so slowly that the mechanism seem to work continuously on only part of the washing. For best results the following typical assortment for an 8 pound load was suggested: 2 sheets, 2 piuow slips, 2 bathtoyvels. 2 men's white shirts. if luncheon cloths, and about a pound of other small iterris. In the typical family wash there will be two such loads. then a third load of dresses and under- garments, and finally a load of ' ” or badly soiled items that must be washed separately from the white clothes. Fort Augustus On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week a series of agricultural meetings were held in the Fort Augustus hall. More than too people were in attendance. The course got underway by open- ing remarks by Rev. Father Butler. The entire program was arranged by Mr. B. 0.

On Wednesday, evening Mr. Oraeheme Boswel iof the Experi- mental Statlon conducted an inter- eating discumion on manures and fertilisers. Mr. R. B. MacI..aren cf the Experimental Station discussed the various varieties of grasses. pointing out the ones of most practical use in this Province. Mr. E. W. Adams, Assistant Dairy Superintendent, Provincial Depart- ment of Agriculture, brought out the various methods and precau- tions to be observed in the hand- ling of milk. The chairman of the evening was Dr. George C. Fisher, Director of Veterinary services, who showed 'two films and discus- sed some of the common health problems in farm livestock. On Thursday evening the meet- ing was devlded into two parts and an interesting program was pro- vided for the ladies by Miss Mary Robin, Supervisor of the Women's Institute branch. Mr. I". M.

How hard it is to do justice to ideas alien to one's mind, sympathies, and experiences! It may be that I am overlooking con- structive criticlsms of modern school practices made by Miss Neatby in her book, "So Little For The Mind," but not consciously. (I am leaving her suggestions and criticisms concerning teacher-traim ing, to the proper authorities). I am aware that progressive education as it is today. is no final solution. any more than the pres- snt psychology upon which it is based, is the final answer to hu- man behavior. Research is going on that will -yield new fields of know- ledge and undoubtedly change theories and practice. But from my personal experi- ences. observation and study, the new ways with young people, offer More For The Mind, and More For The Heart And The spirit, too, than did the old! My com- plaint has always been that these newer ideas are not more widely used-especially where they are needed most. I O 0 This has been echoed by fellow students, large numbers of them practicing teachers, during my re- cent studies. Tile lag between theory and practice has been de- plored by professors and text books in every branch of science dealing with people. - Over-crowded class-rooms have made almost impossible the realiza- tion of modern ideals of kindness and understanding and regard for the emotional needs of the in- dividual child. They have made the practice of progressive ideals of "learning through doing," and learning based on the child's inter- est (without which you have only his "divided attention"), something in a course of studies, rather than in class-room use. Sadly enough this state of st- falrs exists in "underprivileged areas" (though many schools are limited to a greater or lesser de- gree in progrenlve practices) where children, generally speaking. come from homes where life is grim and hard and ugly, and the neighbour- hood is surely so. (I discriminate because I taught in such a neigh- bourhood and know that lovirid homes and fine parents and child- ren do exist in the worst of neigh- bourhoods.) I-low wrong that any school continue the vicious pattern of home and neighborhocdi O O 0 Such neighborhoods are known as "delinquent areas", and it is from them. that the great majority of criminals and juvenile delinqu- ents come-not from neighbour- hoods with beautiful schools and progressive education. One such fortunate school (pu- pils pay tuition) is the Lincoln School, oldest and best of the pro- gressive schools in the United states. In state-wide examinations, its. graduates equal students from all other schools, in every branch or study, and excel strikingly in the arts and social sciences (his- tory, geography, civics). - (Incidentally, in regard to the general level of educational achieve- ment now and twenty-five years ago, studies have shown that soldiers rated much hilhfr Oil army test in World War 11. than in World War I). How were you taught history and the classics? In my day, and in the school days of most of my island friends, history was mainly dreary memorization of facts and dates- nlmost none retained. The best progressive schools do clothe these facts and dates with beauty and meaning, through page-anla. drama. individual research. visits to museums of history. And literature? As I and my friends remember it. the classics were dissected. line by line: it WI! open season every day for hunting down obscure words! Many people were amazed at the great success of the Shakespearean plays in Canada, last summer. They needn't have been. Wherever Shakespeare is treated as a marvel- ous poet and dramatist.

BUCKLEY SIKINI ISR Annual Slaughter Of Canada's Last Big Buffalo iltrti FORT SMiTi-l. N. W. 'l'.. (CP)- The annual "thinning out" of Canada's last big buffalo herd was completed Monday at Wood Buffalo Park, a 17,!!!)-acre game Northwest Territories boundary 500 miles north of Edmonton. Officials of the wildlife service of the northern affairs depart- ment said 276 buffalo were killed by expert marksman. They were selected for slaughter from the 15,(Il0 animals who make the park their home. Part of the buffalo meal will be flown today to Perry River. N. W. T.. where several Eskimo families were reported near starvation. Butchering the animals is done under supervision of an expert butcher loaned from a packing plant. The meat is inspected by a veterinary surgeon of the de- partment of agriculture. Most of the meat will be dis- posed of to residents of the sparsely-settled area at reduced prices. The "thinning out" of the herd is a conservation measure. The park can support only a certain number of buffalo adequately, and any increase would result in gen- eral weakening of the herd. tions of Bhakespei... mu Gilbert and Sullivan operettaa (and other clsuics) managed and act- ed entlrely by students. Terrific earnestness and 'work, but great enjoyment is characteristic, and the result nukes up in spirit what it lacks in polish. In conclusion. may I say that I am quite sure no reader with firm convictions against modern ideas on education, will have a change of heart through anything I say. Each of us believes as he does because of a. strong web of personal characteristics and ex- periences. This web grows stronger as we grow older because mostly, we read the books, listen to the speeches, observe the things going on around us, that uphold our own views.
