The past presi- dent, Ernest Dickens0n, presided. A splendid program was given; the first number of which was a short address by the chairman, in which he outlined the work of the Literary Society and the advantages of the new High School. This was follow- ed by two piano solos that were beautifully rendered by Bernard Dudley. The recitations of Miss Jean McDonald received great praise. Then followed the Tatler, the school paper-read by Raplh Johns on Thurs- day evening, and by Miss Marion Forester on Friday evening, in which the editor emphasized the need of an auditorium for the school. The duet sung by Miss Phyllis Glass and Miss Edna Wiltshire was very much enjoyed. David Stirling’s ren- dering of “Cavatina” was perfectly delightful. One of the most interâ€" esting numbers of the programme was the folk dancing by the junior and senior girls under the direction of Mr. Coles. On Thursday even- ing the Athletic Prizes were present- ed to the successful pupils. Mr. Rup- ert Jackson won the senior boys‘ championship and Mr. Howard At- kinson the junior for boys. Miss Iso- bel Cowie, the senior championship girls for fourth year. and Miss Irene Smith. the junior girls‘ champion- ship.

A breeding program in which all 'females are trap-nested as long as they remain on the breed- er’s premises means considerable added expense, but in the long run through the proper use of these in- dividualsit will more than pay. The real» poultry brxeederks must, through careful and patient applica- tion “of” gznetic principles, develop families and strains that have enough stamina and disease“ resistance to survive and lay profitably under or- dinary farm conditions even when exposed to the many diseases which are found on almost every farm. We know that certain families and strains inherit a certain definite re- sistance to most diseases, and any sensible program must be based on the assumption that birds to be kept at a profit, under ordinary manage- ment and under ordinary conditions must be able to live well and lay well. Most of the better poultry breed- ers' and the number of “good breed- ers” is limited, have a definite breed- ing program that is kept always be- fore them. Egg production, egg size, and egg quality; hatchability and livability; reasonable body type, bird size and‘ freeness from standard defects; or various combinations of these factors. INSURANCE About this time peeple became eggâ€"quality conscious, and once more breeders realized that, along with the number of eggs and egg sizeâ€" egg shape, color and shell texture were important factors to consider in their breeding programs. It should be the aim of any good breeder to produce stock of high quality for his future use and for the use of his customers, and in so doing he knows that his customers will be satisfied with the results ob- tained from this stock, and his ef- forts year “after year must be along the lin‘é‘s of‘ improvement. This means that he must. make the best possible use of all the known factors that are desirable and must keep in mind these qualities and make every effort to make them dominant in his strain of birds. Record of i’erformance work start- ed originally in Canada. A few years later Michigan and other American states organizedl their first R.O.P. associations. Because of the rigid requirements of R.O.P. work it was necessary for most breeders to elim- inate at once many families because of the small egg size factor. It was no effort to produce birds that would lay 200 or more eggs per year but to produce birds that would lay that number of eggs averaging 24 ounces or more to the dozen was something quite different. It was found that those birds that came through and met the_R.IO.P. requirements were somewhat larger individuals, and good breeders were immediately imâ€" pressed with the fact that body size must be kept constantly in mind in all future breeding work. it has become more and more inâ€" volved; not only has a breeder got to work hard and pay careful atten- tion to a great many factors in order to get good stock but he has to con- Early breeders were much inter- ested in show qualities and in emâ€" phasizing those points that were of importance when breeding- purely for exhibition purposes. A few breed- ers through the use of trap-nests) focused attention on breeding- for egg; production and in a short time had developed birds of fairly high egg production, but little or no at- tention was paid. to egg- sdze or color tinue his breeding program and in no case must he relax his vigilance, in order to keep that stock up to a high standard.
