The samples are tested for sermination percentage and freedom from disease. They have several government inspections during growth checking for any one of several different tungus- virus and bacterial diseases. There were 14 growers from the province who sent in samples of the popular netted gems last year. Of these, Mr. Edmunds and a Mrs. J. H. Fraser, of Clover- dale, were the only persons whose potatoes produced 100 per cent germination and complete freedom from disease. SUCCESSFUL GROWER Harold Edmunds, Marguerite rancher, is holding a sample of the netted gem variety of potatoes grown on his property. His sample was one of two accepted for seed purposes by the State of California out of those submitted by 14 B.C. growers.

The fat stock exhibit attracted 177 en- tries, bringing the total number of head to 354. secretary of the B.C. Julian, tion, attributed the increase in bull entries this year to the rise in the price of commercial cattle since 1957. He also explained there has been a change in cattle marketing techniques involving the sale of yearlings rather than two-year-olds, so that producurs require more bulls. While beef prices have held firm for the past 12 months, Mr. Fry forecast that the trend in the immediate future will be downward because of the in- creasing cattle population in North America. FASHION TRUE C COLORS Allen Stookey, of Okanagan, Washington, one of two auction- eers at this year’s show, agreed with Mr. Fry, adding that beef prices have followed a definite lical pattern in recent years with the low reached in 2956. e Judge Wilbur Catley, of Craven, Saskatchewan, who judges shows across Canada, said he was impressed with the good quality stock in this year’s Kamloops show.
