Ottawa gavethe CPR $3.4 million as a subsidy to build a rail line from Lethbridge, Alta., through the Crewsnest Pass to Nelson. B.C. In return CPR had to guarantee permanent freight rate reductions on Prairie grain shipped east to the Lakehead. Over the years, the Crow rate extended to all railways anctto grain shipped west and north. as well as east. The erignial act was repealpd in 1925 -- 56 years ago -- and beCamnenshrined.igthe Railway Act. It has been there ever since, throuilirairt and snow and drought and inflation and deflation and recession and depression and high interest rates. It is a guaranteed freight rate of one half-cent per ton per mile. But that ain't all by an means. There is the Crow Gap which is the difference, betWeen the half-cent the railway can charge and their actual cost which amounts to about S500 million annually paid to the railways to maintain the half-cent rate.

At Council's regular meet- A great deal of interest has been generated concerning somatic cells and their use as a method of detecting sub- clinical mastitis in dairy cattle. The milk from an uninfected mammary gland i.e. one that dcrgs not have subclinical mastitis. may con- tain up to approximately .250.000 somatic cells per milliliter. The counting of somatic cells in a milk sample pro- vides a means of monitoring subclinical mastitis. If the count is low and remains low, then it is likely that the cow is not infected. However, if the .catmt .becornes elevated ,it is -likely that an infection has occurred. A recent study at V.C. found that if a cow ad a cell countofJ,000,000 cells /ml. throughout her lactation. she would lose approximately 15% of her potential ' milk production. Thus, if the level of mastitis in a herd is reduced, the produc- er can either produce more milk or alternatively produce the same amount of milk from fewer cows. D.H.1, offers the 'option of individual cow somatic cell ' counts at a cost of 17c per sample or 52.00/cow/year. The service is optional to users of the D.H.I. Supervi- sed, D.H.I. Owner Sampler or R.O.P. milk recording sy- stems. However, dairy pro- ducers should take advantage of this program to help ensure Maximum herd production.. , D.
