INCREASE IN- INSEMINATION
Canadian cattlemen increased
their use of artificial insemina-

where almost 15 per cent of the

ficially.
The overall increase, states an
annual report of the Livestock
Division, Canada Department of
Agriculture, was approximately
11.5 per cent over the previous
year.
The greatest increase in arti-
ficial insemination was reported
in the prairie provinces, but or-
ganized AI businesses operated
on an increased scale in nine
provinces. The only province
not reporting activity in the
field was Newfoundland.
There were 14 semen produc-
ing organizations - unchanged
from last year -and 219 semen
purchasing organizations, up 32
from 1959.
Bull studs were maintained
in six provinces -Nova Scotia,
New B1unswick, Quebec, On-
tario; Alberta and British Co-
lumbia -and supplied the bulk
of the semen used throughout
the country, Some semen was
imported from the United States
and some was exported to Eng-
land, Grenada (W.I.) and Russia.
A total of 14.97 per cent of
approximately 5,156,300 cows in
Canada were bred artificially
during the year, compared with
13.8 per cent in 1959.
First services reported totaled
793,924, up from 712,633 the
preceding year. The number of
first services with frozen semen
also increased from 236,738 in
1959 to 310,951- in 1960.
The number of calves regis-
tered as purebreds as a result
of AI breeding was 63,425 com-
pared with 58,052 the year be -
ore.
There also has been a steady
ncrease in the number of herds
erviced, at least partially, by
artificial insemination. A total
f 100,370 herds used AI during
960, compared with 82,229 in
959 and 71,509 in 1958. Of the
00,370 herds serviced by this
method in 1960, some 6,387 were
ested on the official Record of
erformance or Dairy Herd Im-
rovementAssociationpro-
rams.
First services, reported by

Canadian farmers, their ranks
thinned by industrial expansion,
are earning, investing, and
spending more money now than
they did 25 years ago.
Farm values have doubled,
the average total investment
per farm has tripled and capital
expenditures for farm con-
struction, machinery and equip-
ment has increased almost 10
times over that spent in the
mid -30's.
At the same time the annual
gross income from farming in
Canada -only $806.1 mlllion in
the 1935-39 period -topped the
$3 billion mark in 1959 and con-
tinues to climb.
These, and a host of other
interesting facts and figures, are
contained in the articles "Agri-

Seaforth 9, Mitchell 4
Seaforth Bantams extended
their winning streak by defeat-
ing Mitchell 9-4 here last Wed-
nesday in a postponed WOAA
baseball game.
The locals allowed one run
in the first frame to Mitchell
with some loose play around
home plate, but to make up for
this, Seaforth went to work on
the Mitchell pitcher. He walked
the first man, Harvey Drager,
then Francis Hagan came
through with a double. Kerry
Campbell walked and Wayne
Rau connected for a double to
put the Seaforth team in the
lead. Billy Boshart collected the
third hit of 'the inning to shove
across the fourth run for the
locals.
After walking the first two
men to face him in the second
frame, Don Hulley struck out
the next three batters. Seaforth
left three men stranded in their
half of the second inning. Sea -
forth went scoreless in the -third
but Mitchell was able to push
three runs across to make the
count 4-3.
Seaforth garnered their fifth
run in the fourth frame and
again Don Hulley retired the
side in order. The locals added
two in the fifth and sixth frames
for nine runs while Mitchell col-
lected one in the seventh.
Don Hulley went all the way
for his second straight win,
striking out ten men and col-
lecting two singles. Wayne Rau
and Francis Hagan were the big
guns for the locals, the former
getting a double and two singles,
the latter connecting for two
doubles. K. Malcolm collected a
triple for the visitors.

Sebringville 5, Seaforth 4
Sebringville took a close 5-4
game from the Seaforth juven-
iles last Friday night in a WO
AA baseball game here.
The visitors scored all their
runs in the first inning on five
walks, two doubles and a single,
Bob Reith relieved Tom Dick in
the first frame and held the
Sebringville nine scorless for
the remainder of the game.
Seaforth scored two runs in
the second stanza and added two
more in the sixth. The locals
were unable to collect hits when
most needed. Perhaps the out
standing play of the evening
was made by Bruce Dale when
he hauled in a long fly going
away which had triple labelled
all over it.
Sebringville used three pitch-
ers, Turner, Harris and Flach.

Boucher. Mr. Varkaris has since
left agriculture on transfer to
another government d e p a r t-

Other highlights of their re-
port:
Expanding industrialization is
reducing the number of people
living on farms. In the 1940's
about 25 per cent of Canada's
population lived on farms. By
1956 this figure had shrunk to
16.4 per cent and is still dwindl-
ing annually.
The total farm land area in
Canada covers about 173.9 mil-
lion acres, including farm wood -
lots. Of this total, only 100.3
million acres are improved, 62.9
million acres are in summer -
fallow and 10.1 million acres
are in pasture.
Acreage of individual farms
has increased, but the number
of farms has declined steadily
since 1931 in `the Atlantic, Cen-
tral and Prairie region.
Throughout the country the
number of occupied farms
dropped from 728,664 in 1931 to
575,015 in 1956.Economists
Ings, • $0.5 Won in livestock
and $0.5 billion in farm ma-
chinery. In 1959 they had $7.2
billion invested in land and
buildings, $2 billion in live-
stock and $2.2 billion in farm
`machinery.
The average total investment
per farm was up from $6,386
in 1935 to $20,783 in 1959.
Farmers' expenditure in-
creased even faster with the in-
crease in the • value of their
farms. Capital expenditures for
construction, machinery and
equipment, and their upkeep
climbed from $71.5 million in
1935 to $649 million in 1958.
Farmers have other stagger-
ing expenses, such as purchases
of fertilizers and pesticides.
Sales of fertilizers in Canada
rose from 212,479 tons in 1935
to 908,214 tons in 1959. Sales
of pesticides rose from $5.4 mil-
lion in 1947 to a whopping $19
million in 1959.
The agricultural labor force
has declined steadily in the past
10 years. In 1939 it stood at
1,379,000, but by 1959 it had
dropped to 724,000. As a per-
centage of .the total Canadian
civilian labor force, it has de-
clined from 36.4 per cent in
1933 to only 12.4 per cent in
1959.

When traffic is turned into
the new approaches and across
the new bridge the existing road
and bridge will revert from the
county system to the township.
While no decision had been
taken, Mr. Britnell said he ex-
pected the Huron Road Com-
mittee would give consideration
to an opening ceremony at the
bridge, perhaps in September.
Paving Kippen Road
Meantime, county crews are
laying cold mix paving on the
Kippen road, south of Seaforth.
The road, -extending for 114
miles south of the EgmondviIle
bridge, was rebuilt last year.
Cold mix paving has been
found most satisfactory for cer-
tain applications such as the
Kippen toad, Mr. Britnell said,
Hot mix paving tends to become
brittle unless it is subjected to
sustained loads, but this is not
a characteristic of cold mix
installations.
To ensure a cold mix applica-
tion stands up, only the proper
materials must be used and this
is particularly true of stone.
Mr. Britnell said the type re-
quired was relatively scarce in
the county. Stone for the Kippen
road job was coming from
Holmesville. About 1,200 yeards
was required for a 'mile of pav-
ing .
The cost of stone was rela-
tively small .in relation to as
phalt at $4,000 per mile and
labor, and it had been found
it paid, in the long run, to use
only suitable material, he said.

ported" as malty as 27, "an
achievement", Say the authors,
"which clearly reflects the rapid
progress of our agriculture."
In 1959 alone, Canadian farm-
ers paid $142,569,000 in taxes
and another $184,364,000 in
wages. They spent $348,561,000
for feed and seed purchased
through market channels, $19-
428,000 for electric power and
$128,923,000 for miscellaneous
items including veterinary fees,
binder and baler twine, irriga-
tion charges, fence repairs, salt,
and so forth.
"The chief characteristic of
what many people call the agri-
cultural revolution of the post-
war era," conclude the authors,
is the ability of an ever -de-
creasing number of farms to
pr o d u c e an ever-increasing
