Oats and Barley

Oats and barley show an in- crease in the period covered with oats rising from .'i,538.2l9 bush- els in 1881 to 4.263.000 in 1947- while barley rose from 119.358 bushels to 321,000. In the same time the yield of buckwheat dropped from 90,000 bushel: to 25,000 bushels. The report also mukcspnote of the fact that in 1946 this Prov- ince imported appmxlmntely 05' 000 tons of animal feeds which if converted to a barley basis would represent about two and one- quurtcr million bushels at aicost to farmers here of two million dollars. In the same year the farmers imported approximately 58,500 tons of fertilizer at a cost of another two million dollars.

One industry which has grad- ually disappeared from the life of Prince Edward Island in the manufacture of maple sugar. In earlier days it played an import- ant part in the seasonal activity of the people as shown by the 2i.000 pounds which were made in 1881. Just 10 years later the fig- ure had dropped to 7,700 pounds and a decade later it was only 1,- 000 pounds. While it may still be made in some areas no sizable quantities have been reported for the past 50 years.

crease in any farm item comes In the production of poultry. The first year for which figures are available is 1891 when there were 534,962 birds in the Province. In 1947 that total had leaped to 1,- 330.000.

The number of horses has shown a steady decline in the past 70 years with the number dropping from 31.35 in 1881 to 23.800 1947. There has been little change in the' number of cattle with 89,722 then and 95,300 in the final year of the report. Swine showed a jump from the 40,181 the first year to the 64.000 in 1947. Sheep, however, reveal a similarly sharp drop from 166,496 to 48.600.

One noticeable! change is indi- cated in the trend from the home

manufacture of butter to that of the crcameries. In 1911 there were 2.309.691 pounds of home

manufacture but in 1947 the esti-

mated total was only 700,000 pounds. At the same time the creamery manufacture of butter

had risen from 670,908 pounds to 3,520,000.

The report. which was compil- e from census returns. the Can- a a Year Book and various de- partmental records, notes that in early years there were tlal quantities of beans. peas, flax and other small crops grown. but today they are only grown in negligible amounts.

It also mentions that there were 137 vacant farms with

New Grain Varieties A recent release purtment of Agriculture, Ottawa, Information Service, mentions that many new varieties of grain crops have been developed and distributed to farmers of Eastern Canada during the past ten years. However. it states that the cxact. proportion of the farmers who have taken advantage of the new varieties is not known. It. lists the fact that this Province plants 12 different varieties of oats. four varieties of barley and 14 of spring wheat. Mr. R. A. Derick, of the Cereal Division. Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, says that in gen- eral a relatively large number of growers are--using recommended varieties in. some crops. The de- partmental release, though, lndi. cates that. there are a number of

percent with T9 percent using the recommended varieties of barley. But ONLY 54 percent use the sug- Kosled type of sprint; wheat.

It is suggested that those using the improved varieties would be well advised to do so as they could increase their own yields and contribute towards the rais- Inc of the general level of pro- duction In the Province as a whole.

Pre-lluptial Shower

A large number of people 1;-om lileadow Bank and surrounding ozstrlcts met at the spacious home of Mr. Frank MacLean on the evening of Nov. 27th to tender 11 miscellaneous shower to Miss Jean Boyle, prior to her marriage.

To the strains of the "Wedding March”. Mrs. Sterling Clow escort- ed the bride-to-be to the seat of honour in the prettily decorated ! living room. Little Miss Vivian Drake and Master Wendell Hyde. as miniature bride and groom, presented her with a. beautiful bouquet. then carried in a large basket heaped with gifts.

Mn. Stewart Drake and Mrs. Elmer Hyde opened the presents while Mrs. Elmer Clow read the verses and Mrs. Stewart Miller and Mrs. Victor MacPhall, arrang- ed them on the table.

The beautiful gifts and numer- our. cheques testified to the pop- ularity of the recipient and to the esteem in which she is held.

In I pleasing manner Jean
