bushels. and the total this year is expected to be 70,931,000 bushels.

The acreage planted in P. E. I. .n 1950 was 45,100 acres with a yield sf 11,500,000 bushels. com-

pared to 31,400 acres this year and an estimated yield of 6,720,000 bushels.

They are cancer. lung abscesses. tuberulosis and cysts. The first three are standard operations. and in themselves not specially dang- erous. The fourth is rare because the lung cysts don't show up often. alid when they do they already have done most of their damage
