PHONE 527- 1350 SEAFORTH Newspaper people are constantly criticized because they seem to thrive on controversy. Ghouls, they are called, They swarm around tragedy and disaster like flies around a manure wagon. Over the 23 years I haye been. connected with the media. though, I have found most newspeople to be dedicated, hardworking, conscientious professionals. Asa farm writer, I have come to the reluctant conclusion that the only way to get any response from farmers is to belabor a contro- versy. Which leads to the ,subject of this column, a follow-up to one a few weeks ago about Dr, Ted Burnside of the poultry and animal science department at the University of Guelph. I quoted Dr. Burnside extensively from a talk he gave at a Western Ontario Dairy Day this summer, Dr. Burn- side's theory is that dairy farmers should be looking at production as closely as they look at conformation; that milk production is just as important as a row of ribbons. I said in that column that it shouldn't matter to a dairy farmer whether a cow has a twisted horn or poor coloring in her switch as long as she produces great quantities of quality milk, Does it matter if her udder is so low you can scuffle corn with her? Somehow or other, between the time that column left my typewriter and appeared in 15 or 20 papers across this province, attribution for the above statements appeared to come from Dr. Burnside. He called me• personally and it was a pleasure to hear from him. He agreed with most of the column but, in a gentlemanly way, suggested that he still thinks conforma- tion is important. The reference to udders, he suggested, went a little too far. To clear the record, then, we'll put Dr. Ted in the clear. I was the one who made the reference to the udders, not Ted, He stoutly maintains that equal, if not increased, atten- tion must be paid to production as well as conformation, He was not the only person to call. A couple of dairy farmers also contacted me and one even refused to give his name although he was chuckling throughout the con- versation on the horn, "Give it to 'em," he said. "I got a grade cow here that'll out-produce Ragapple Annie. She looks like a beef reject but she sure can give milk." Another producer was up-in-arms about it. He said writ- ers like me who never set foot in a dairy stable should do more investigating before shooting off our typewriters, • "Why don't you do a story on the service that dairymen are getting from most of the artificial insemination co- operatives?" he said. "They send their so-called tech- nicians hurrying and scurrying all over the province when 'good dairymen could do the job just as well, even better. "Why are those young punks galloping all over the country - and the farmers end up paying for it -7 when we could do it ourselves?" Now, once again, let me repeat: I often get manure on my boots. I do not live in an ivory tower and I try to get honest opinions which reflect what the farm community is thinking. But I know little about the service being given by arti- ficial insemination units. Hopefully, the suggestion given by this dairyman will spark some discussion in this column. I'll be glad to give equal space to both sides of the story. But I'll make a little bet with you. I'll bet the Al boys will respond with dignity and with sound arguments in their favor, But the farmers, the people most 'concerned if this turns out, to be controversial, will not say a word. They'll sit back and let somebody else do the talking for them. be be pleasantly surprised if more than four or five make any effort on their own behalf to back up the man who feels breeding co-ops should let farmers do their own in- seminating, if indeed, they should. Any takers?
