enthusiastic workers h the seven centres in which at least 1.000 donors are needed at the Red Orion Donor Clinic which are scheduled for the week of Airg- ust 29th report plans well underway. The committees in each locali- ty are vieing with each our: to which centre can have the highest percentage in excess of the objectives set. All conosrnad with promoting the success of these clinics realize that attendance at them means real sacrifice to a great many of the rural people who are particularly busy, especi- ally this year when the wet weath- er has delayed the harvesting. However, all should be aware of the fact that patients in hospitals needed blood transfusions daily at all seasons of the year and that Prince-Edward Islanders - inmost parts of the province-- only have on opportunity. once a year to con- tribute towards supplying the de mands for about 2.500 bottles of blood per year for patients in P. E.I. hospitals.

Use Of limesione in Crop Rolaiion

OTTAWA. Aug 20-The strongly acid podsol soils of Prince Edward Island are low in lime and better crops are produced as a result of regular application of limestone.

some crops will tolerate strongly acid soils and produce relatively high yields, but the rich legume

hays so important to livestock pro- duction and soil COIlS0rYRIl0l'l, such as alfalfa and clover. require ll good supply of lime in the soil. L.iiie is a necessary plant nutrient and 1: Improves the soil by reducing soil acidity which in turn encouiiigee the growth of beneficial bacteria.

In a test conducted at the Char- lottetown Experimental Station for the past twenty years. says Agronomist G. W. Boswall ,the yields of both barley and clover havirbeen substantially increased by the use of ground limestone Ground limatone applied every three years at the rate of 1000 lb per acre has increased the average yield of barley by 4.0 bushels and the yield of clover by 0.48 tons of cured hay.

Increasing the rate of ii csione application above 1000 lb. per acre did not increase the barley yields but clover yields continued to in- cresae with increased amounts of limestone up to 3000 lb. per acre. the highest rate studied.'Plots which received 3000 lb. limestoic per acre every three years yielded 1.60 tons of cured hay. while plots which received no limestone yielded only 0.02 tons.

some soils in the Province have received heavy applications of mus- sel mud during the past thirty or forty years. If shells are still pres- ent in these soils increased yields may not follow the use of lime- stone bccause the shells are slow- ly releasing lime each year as they break down.

When limestone is applied to soils. the heavier yields that result re- move lsrge amounts of plant food. This heavy drain on the so1l's re- serves of plant food must not be overlooked. but rather an effort must be made to maintain s good supply of plant food in the soil. By the judicious use of manures, fer- tilizers, and lime. crop production can be increased and soil fertility improved.

from Bedeque, " field and was Valley.

Dr. Bonnell said: "Bruce car- ruthers dearly loved Prince Edward Island and it seems entirely fit- ting that his dust should now rest in the Province by the see, where he was born. The memory of his gay. happy adventurous spirit which won him many friends will be treasured by those who knew and loved him well. He met suf- fering without selfpity. sadness without surrender and the last enemy of man not with fear but with unfslterlng faith."

Born at Central Bedeqiie

Bruce Carruthers was born in Central Bedeque June 15. 1901 and died in California Dec. 10. 1953. He served with the Royal Can- adian Mounted Police for five years in the Yukon. His experience serv- ed him well in his life-work as technical advlsor on ”Mountle" and Canadian films with several of the leading moving picture com- panies of Hollywood. Among the more recent pictures which he technically directed are "Johnny Belinda." "Rose Marie," and "King of the Kvber Rifles." He appeared personally in the latter two.

Bruce was married in 1924 to Anne Mae Bledsoe, whose home is in Woodland Hills, California, where an impressive funeral ser- vice was held. attended by many of Bruce's friends in the moving picture industry. Three daughters were born to the Can-uthers, Carol. Mrs. Rodney Pack, Roberto, Mrs Noel Games and Anne who at- tends the University of California. Anne with her father visited Prince Edward Island in 1951.

And out in aaskstehswsn. the country's biuest grain-growing province, retail stores found sales dwindling. All provinces, showed smau retail trade declines in the first half of the year, but Saskat- chewan showed tho biggest drop- 9.4 per cent.

EXPORTS VITAL

Exports are vital to Canadian prosperity, with more than Iocenta of every douar of national income coming from sales abroad.

But shipments in July dropped by almost 310,000,000 to 8329.100.- 000, cutting the seven-month total to 32.204.000.000 from t2,4l8,000.000 last year, bureau of statistics fig.- ures showed Friday.

Canada, for the full year of 19.33. shipped a total of SA,100,000.000 worth of goods, down from the peak of 54.300.000.000 in 1952. The in- dication is that this year exports will decline still further. perhaps by as much as 800,000,000.

Imports also have dropped. but they still are running ahead of ex- ports, thus continuing for govern- ment flnancial men the worrisome problem of a deficit.

Imports in July dropped to a344,- 900.000 from 8405,400.000 last year. reducing purchases for the seven

The bin-can of statistics reported It-ldsy that January-June comple- tions totalled 41,512 units. an in- crease of 2.091 or five per cent ova the 1963 figure of 99.401. How- ever. half-year stu-is dromd to 0.98 from 46,746 a. year ago, s decrease of 840.

'I'he'number of housing units under construction at the and of June was 64.262. an increase of 1.471 or about two per cent over the same period in 1953.

Housing units completed in June dropped by more than 10 per cent to 0.047 from 0.015 in the same month last year. Increases in the Maritime and Prairie provinces were offset by drops in the other provinces. .

However. II!-month completions showed decreases in only two prov- inces. They dropped to 396 from 626 in Newfoundland and to 11.070 from 12.927 in Quebec.

Completions for the period rose to 41 from 39 In Prince Edward Island, to 1,008 from 033 in Nova Bcotla. and to 480 from 314, in New Brunswick.
