V In the adjoining State of Illin- ois, close to the Iowa border. the" is the largest swine herd Ln that part of the United States. Mr. Clay said he visited the farm. All the brood sows were raised and bred in Central or Western Canada. They were all short in body and head with little or no evidence of the bacon type. The owner and manager oi the farm had seen the Island shipment and immediately enquired of Mr. Clay if similar stock were available on the Is- land. He declared his intention vi visiting the Province next year to look over some of the Island stock.

Will Maintain REL Stock

Dr. Hula, Mr. Olsy said, intends to maintain the Island Yorkshirea as a pure strain on his farms. For the pest several years. he has built up his herd from stock purchased in Central and Western Canada and it was his dissatisfaction with this stock that prompted him to make his future purchases from the Island.

w. Clay said Dr. Hula was s rarity inasmuch as he was a prac- ticing medical man and a qualified veterinarian as well. His office was in the centre of I‘ , t. s cit! of 15,000 people, where his son, a medical graduate. practiced with him. His farm of 8H acres was located about lb miles outside oi Davenport. Two adjoining farms, which he had under lease, were used mainly for pasture,

iiapid Progress 0n iiew Dh’town Housing Project

Since the beginning of the MW housing project early in June on the former Saunders and Palmer estates bounded by Orlebar Street. Birchwood Avenue and Gerald Street, great progress has been made towards the ultimate comple- tion of the 29 houses to be built under the housing scheme.

At the present time all the houses with the exception of four or five have been completed inso- far as the exteriors are concern- ed. They are finished in durable asbestos shingles with B-tirflciiilfi colored fire-proof roofing, each house being painted in s. different color and with slightly different frame construction to avoid the monotony of uniform appearance-

The four or five houses which have not been completed external- ly. are rapidly approaching the same stage of pletion as the others, with only the shingling. roofing and painting. in most cases left to be done.

The pouring of the cement floors for the ‘ cements and the full scale work on the interiors will commence next week.

The project is being carried out by Eastern Woodworkers Ltd. of New Glagow. Ne. under contract with the Central MOYIKIIBB HW!" lng Corporation.

Mr. n. A. Sutherland. superin- tendent of Gomae Construction Company. New Glasgow. N. 5.. is in charge of the project.’

The City oi Charlottetown will undertake the building of the streets, sidewalks. sewerage, water supplv system and lighting system for this new community develop- ment.

Veterans Affairs . Minister Expresses Warm Appreciation

The (Qlluwlng appreciative letter has been received by Mr. Addiwfl MacDonald. president of the Souris branch of the Canadian Lesiflfl- from the I-Ion. Milton F. Greg!!- V. C., Minister of Veterans Af- fairs: Dear Mr. MacDonald:— 1 am wi-iung to thank you for the wonderful hospitality display- ed by your Branch on the occasion or my visit to Sourls last week. The arrangements which you made for the Convention indicate a hlEh standard of organization within the Branch. which sugurs well for the future. I would be remiss if I did not as}; you to convey to the Ladies Auxiliary my pleasant recollections of a banquet so efficiently prepar- ed and so sumptuous in its distri- bution.

spring, Dr, I-luls told him. some oi his fields had been under five feet of watcr.

Huge Swine Production

Mr. Clay said the Islanders might get some ides oi what the Iowans mean when they say they are in the swine business by his stetins that in an area oi one million acres. about the size of Prince Ed- ward Island, they raise 3.000.000 swine annually. About one-third of the land in that section is devoted to corn each year; one-third to oats; and the remaining one-third to my -- especially alfalfa — and pasture. Very often, Mr. Clay said, the swine are turned into the alfalfa fields after the first crop is cut.

Most. of the farms are highly mechanized. Strangely enough. Mr. Clay said. the Iowan farmer does not go in for pretentious barns or other out-buildings. But the farm houses, especially on the bigger farms. are magnificent and equin- ped with every modern convenience.
