We must maintain certain freedoms and principles, for which our country is noted," he said., Throat of Oils "On the other hand, said the speaker, "if we are to maintain our .dairy industry we will have to receive protection from its competition, Oils come into Cane ada practically free --protection i sixn eaIitic, In Canadanada 105, T 000,000 pounds of .margarine and 6 pounds 11 ,0011,000 po nd of shortening, enuig, which is a stable product on. the market today, were sold last year. In Britain and the United Statea a good quality of ice cream is made of vegetable oils—an- ether dairy market squeezed out.;' The general viewpoint of the question is an optimistic one, the lf was rather remarked, but Practically all dairy products could be sub". stituted with the use of vegetable oils. Ice cream, whipping cream, coffee cream, filled milk, ,all now ar e made without the use of one bit of butterfat. Scientists are new working on a method of substituting for dairy cheese. " •Even accepting the principle of free enterprise in buying and selling—"Do we want to save the dairy industry, or don't we?" asked Mr. Porter. Any tariff to control importation seemed im- practical, and . it is hard to see that the dairy industry can compete..favourably with veget- able oil products, Dairy Industry Protection It is . ridiculous to suppose that the 'Ontario farmers cease thein line of farming and straightway go into the business of raising soy beans, which , in' the 'United States is an oil crop. Canada is not suitable for producing oil crops, and an attempt by farmers to go completely into cash crop farming would mean the„ event- ual and early collapse of the land itself. The farming economy in East- ern Canada is based absolutely upon grass culture. Here, the best method to build the stable, humus content in. the soil is under the grass cover. This is better than the plowing down of rich legum- inous crops which when used too often are apt to wear out the soil. To take away the dairy cow from, this grass pasture wouldbe fatal, The majority of the soil in East- ern Canada is not strong enough to carry this farming with cash crops ' without suffering erosion, and less in fertility.. Beef cattle, he agreed, were as good as dairy cattle for the fur,. therance of this grass cover, but an introduction of, only beef cattle farming in Eastern Canada would result in fewer farmers,. one man would replace two or three. The buying power of the country would be less, and with the lowering of the standard of living in. the country would .come a lowering in all areas, axe de- fled anyone to disp 1te this line of reasoning, Firm Stand Urged He urged the members ofthe Holstein Club, with their domin- ion organization and with the Dairy Farmers of Canada, to take a firm stand against this pending liquidation of the dairy ixclus'try.. His solution was a realistic fed- eral excise tax imposed on oils going,,inte margarine, and into all other dairy products substitutes. The farmers were warned that their requests must be unified. At present the farmers represent- ed only, 20 per cent of the pop- ulation, and this percentage was rapidly becoming Smaller, Claims for protection must be couched in convincing language supported by facts, for no government will enact legislation which' • will kill its opportunity for approval by the tnajority of people. A complete ban on margarine is not the proper thing, warned Mr. Porter,' With prices as low as they, are for margarine, a ban would alienate the opinions of too Many, end helpful legislation would be impossible. At last Xanuary's session of parliament between 70 and, 80 per cent of the members were prepared ; .to vote, for putting colour into mar- garine, stated the speaker. He believes now that their opinions will have changed in. many cases. Hybrids There appears to be a complete disregard for orthodox breeding lines in the dairy industry todayt Mx. Porter said. Hybrids are the current thing, ,with Brahma, blood in cattle now being tried in the 'United States. A three-way cross• incorporating Brown Swiss, a heavy, rugged animal, slow to mature;' Jersey, quicker to ma- ture, ,gives, • good milk; Brahma blood to prodube animal which will stand heat. A two-way cross of Shorthorn and• Brahma cattle, tried in the State of Ohio, pro- duces a rugged type of animal. The ideal dairy cow is one who will produce 10,000' pounds of milk a year . on twice -a -day milking, the speaker went on, Grain ted at the time of milking, followed Mr. and Mrs Aaron C. Fisher (eiebrate Golden Wedding Residents of Duron county all their lives, Mr, and Mrs, Aaron C. Fisher celebrated their golden wedding at their home, li;:li,. d, Goderich. One of the best-known and most highly respected couples in the comn1untty, they entertain- ed. their many friends and neigh, bors at a reception at their home Saturday; and on Sunday a fam- ily reunion was held. Mr. and Mrs. Fisher will re- side e on200-acre aand work the 200 a e sde r farm to which the groom brought his bride 50 years ago, follow}ing their marriage at Benmiller Meth- odist Church parsonage by the late Elev. E. A. Shaw. Their farm has been owned by theFish- er family since it was bought from the Canada Company, when 1VIr. Fisher's grandfather, iVlaohaei Fisher, who was the first settler of Colborne township, bought some 5,000 acres of land, between Benmiller and the Ball river, in 1830. Mr. Fisher, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Joseph J.. Fisher of Colborne township, ; was born 74 years ago on the farm' on which he lives'; and' his 'wife, the form- er Nettie Jane Sprung, was born 69 years :ago in Hullett township, a daughter of the ,late Mr,,• and Mrs, Richard A. Siirung, They have a family, of four sons andfive duaghtera, all . of whore were home with their parents to help observe the anniversary. There are ' also 16 grandchildren and five great grandchildren. The family: includes, ,Elgin L, Fisher, Hamilton; E. Ross Fisher, R.R. 4, by grass, in the form of hay, silage, etc:, , which • would cancel off high costs and achieve high reaords of quantity and' quality of ;milk. Hornless Breed While speaking • of different movements within the industry, Porter stated that ho could not see why., someone did not spend some time , on producing hornless cattle. He expecterd that loose housing was here to stay, as it was easier to handle the animals; made less work as the stables .needed to be cleaned out less oten. He contended that the horns were of no use to the cattle. In prehistoric times they were necessary for defence, but now this recessive unnecessary feature could be removed by breeding. Goderich; J.

Mr, and Mrs. Fisher are mem- bers of the Benmiller United Church. When they were first married, they attended an Evang- elical Church on the corner of their farm, but, according to Mr.. Fisher, like a lot of other country missions in what was years ago a German settlement, the church closed. Both celebrants enjoy fairly good health, and keep up daily with the -duties of running their farm, with some help from their family. When asked to, what they at- tributed their long and happy married life, Mr. Fisher, with lois keen sense of humor, said it must have been lots of hard work, for he and Mrs. Fisher have had plen- ty of it, Farming today, he said, can hardly be compared with what it was 50 years ago, although both agreed that people seem to be kept just as busy now, in site of hydro and modern methods of agriculture, "Times are far better today than back in the early 1900's but people were every bit as happy then. Telephones and cars take the young couple away from home today, thus contributing to a far different form of social life than years ago," The couple remarked on the wonderful neighbors they have, and admitted that they 'are »the only original ones left in their concession, Mr. Fisher has two brothers, Wesley W. Fisher, Saltford, and Ezra Fisher, Goderich; and two sisters, Mrs. Martha Henry and Miss Nancy J. Fisher, both of To- ronto.
