Wall Extension Branch Ontario Department of Agriculture and Food Newmarket, Ontario 'Dairy farming has made an almost complete turn-about in the last two years. The change has been gradual, however, and there is a danger of hanging onto ideas and attitudes that may have been valid two years ago but are dead wrong now. Here, for example, are some ideas we hear talked about often: It .,doesn't pay to buy quota. It doesn't pay to ship surplus. It's impossible for a young farmer to start up. It doesntt make sense to increase the herd. The supply-andedemand pic- ture and price changes for dairy products have made all of these ideas obsorete. They were de- veloped in the days When indus- trial milk was at $3.50 and storage was filled to the rafters with milk powder and butter. There's been a great im- provement since then. The dairy business has a good positive out- look, even' though there are a lot of soft sfots in other areas of farming. To be specific, let's take a look at dairyihg from the point of view of someone just starting. About 30 cows would be minimum, and he would have to buy Market Share Quota and Federal Subsidy Quota to cover them. These quotaS are commonly- sold together, and although there is a wide range in price the average last month was about one cent per pound for total milk sold in the year. So the quota might come to $3,600, or around $120 per cow. -It's a big expense, but now with better milk prices it can be paid out of income. The milk would sell in the Class 2 pool, and with the subsidy added and deductions off, the recent price was $5.83 less trucking, This price is reasonable, at least for starting, and Jersey and Guernsey owners have a little edge with 7 1/2 cents extra for point of butterfat above standard. I'm not looking for big num- bers, of new dairy farmers in my county, York, but if the con - ditIons are right to start a new herd they are even 1 ,zer for ex- panding one that is already going. The plan for the Toronto• centered -Region gives some as- surance that we will be farming in York for a long time vet, so a well-set up dairy farm fits right in.

A vote of thanks was given to Mrs. Rob- ert Reaburn for acting as Re- cording Steward, for the past year. Rev. Beck pronounced the benediction and closed the meeting.

The proportion of farnis with fertilizer applied was generally larger in the regions of more intensively farmed land. Prince Edward Island had the largest proportion of farms using fertilizer (60 per cent), followed by Ontario (51 per cent) and Quebec (41 per cent)... In all, some 17 million acres were fertilized, representing 22 per cent of the total area, de- voted to crops and improved pasture. Alberta had the highest fertilized acreage (5.6 million acres), followed bySaskatchewan (3.7 million), Ontario (3.1 million), Manitoba (2.9 million) and Quebec (1.2 million). Although Newfoundland had the lowest fertilized acreage, it was the highest (34 per cent) .in terms of percentage of total crop and pasture land under fer- tilization. The highest frequency of fer- tilizer application in relation to total acreage seeded (63 per cent) went to tobacco cultivation, followed by corn seeded for grains (61 per cent), potatoes (59 per cent) and vegetables (58 per cent). At the low end of the scale were wheat (15 per cent) and improved pasture ac- reage (5 per cent). Remember! It takes but a moment to place an Expositor Want Ad and be money in pocket.
