WINDSOR, ONTARIO NIAGARA FALLS, ONTARIO ■Av, Utt tl t1 <1111 ■1.1 lumii The Dairy Industry A Monthly Dairy Report is- now issued regularly by the Department. Anyone wishing to receive this re­ port may do so, free of charge, by making a request to the Statistics Branch, Ontario Department of Ag­ riculture. The initial report shows that com­ mercial sales- of fluid milk and cream in Ontario for the month of January amounted to $2,624,000. It is ap­ parent that the annual volume of commercial flued milk business in Ontario is in the neighborhood of $30,009,000. For January the total sales of milk by dairies and produc­ er-distributors amounted to 20,249,- 300 quarts-, having a sales value of $2,297,000, and fluid -cream 731,300 quarts at $3-26,900. Production of both creamery but­ ter and factory cheese in Ontario was again lower in February. Febru­ ary production of butter was down 230,000 'pounds and production for the first two months of 193 8 was down 683,000 pounds as compared with a year ago, while the produc­ tion of cheese for the same two periods showed a decrease of 240? 0-00 pounds and 559,000 pounds, re­ spectively. Egg, Poultry Co-operation There are now 26 farmers’ co-op­ erative egg and poultry associations in Eastern Ontario, Since the first one was established on December 1, 1934, at Kemptville, these have paid up to the end of December, 1937, a total of $473,600.46 to the pro-du-c- ers for their eggs and poultry. In September, 1935, the second assoc­ iation began business at Finch. In 19'3 6 new associations were formed and. .during the year* marketed 20,- 437 cases of eggs, 9,662 lb. of live poultry and 93,920 lb. of dressed poultry. Last year tint 26 associa­ tions sold 42,563 cases o-f eggs, 4'5,- 355 lb. of live poultry and 17 8,823 lb. of dressed poultry. Prior to the formation of the as­ sociations 'practically all the farm­ ers in the Ottawa Valley sold their eggs either to stores or itinerant buyers often not on grade and with­ out troubling about the current price on the Montreal market. At each centre of the association: now, the eggs ar-e delivered by the i farmers wtbo aer paid on the basis of the grade and the average of the week’s quotation on the Montreal market, less the dedu-ctiton for press. Each farmer receives grading report for the eggs .he livers. He knows that he will the current price for it is posted every morning at each station. But the actual market -p-rice less the overhead charges, is not the only advantage to the farmer. The grading report gives him an indica­ tion of the advantages of breeding, feeding and sanitation in keeping poultry. These co-operative assoc­ iations supplied more than half of the carload of fresh eggs recently exported to England. ex- a de­ get in in as of The Cheese Market At the Cheese Producers’ annual convention at Peterborough the del­ egates were intensly interested the address of J. F. Singleton, charge of the Marketing Services, he reviewed the cheese industry the past year and emphasized the importance of quality, if Canada Is to retain her position in the British market. In comparing 193 6 and 1937, cheese increased in price 7 per cent., whereas butter increased 13,6 per cent. This was for a period from May to November of each year. At London, wholesale jobbers’ price with relation to the value of cheese increased seven and a lhalf peir cent and butter 10.6. The value of butter is higher in Canada than in the United Kingdom. With the increase in price since the beginning of the year, which is out of 'line with the price of cheese, there will naturally, be a tendency for patrons to> yield to the solicitation of -creamerymen for their product, to- the detriment of the cheese factory production. But some day the butter market will break and break faast, said Mr. Sing­ leton, and producers should consid­ er carefully "which market will give the highest returns- for the milk during the season. Canadian cheese has a reputation in the Old Country, not only for having a higher quality than any ether imported cheese, but it is the lhi|ghe'St -quality off any source, domestic oir imported, which, is available in quantity and this position should not be jeopardized by short supply. A large quantity of processed cheese is produced in the united Kingdom, and for this trade mature Canadian Cheddar is favored. Mr. Singleton advised the Canadian, cheese-makeirs and -patrons to concentrate on raising the general average score of our cheese. The authorities state certified seed is most important insisting, that no grower or farmer can foe assur­ ed of a .go-od croipi of high quality un­ less good seed ficlal tag Is not tifihd seed, the be accepted. - The bulletin of good varieties in order of earll- ness, outlining good and bad points. is used, on every potatoes contains If the of- bag of cer- shonild not the names maturing potatoes ex ensively grown is white, oblong These varieties include Warba, re­ cently introduced to Ontario. This potato resembles the Irish Cobbler in shape but has pink eyes. It is a week earlier than Cobibler in matur­ ing. It is the highest ylelder of early maturing varieties and has gained popularity in the .past three years. Table and keeping qualities are good. The Irish Cobbler is second on the list of early and is the most of all. The Chippewa and .s'hallow-eyed. It is a new variety introduced by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and is popular across the border. It is being grown in an experimental way in Ontario. Tub­ ers resemble the Katahdin. It rip­ ens a week earlier than Katahdin and three weeks earlier than Dooley. Because of this, it is meeting with considerable approval from growers. The Katahdin has been grown at O. A. C. since 1928, and has proven of outstanding merit. It ripens a week ahead of Green Mountain and twelve days earlier than Dooley and is superior in table quality to Dooley. It also has a high degree ot resistance to Mild Mosaic. Green Mountain is susceptable to disease and is losing favor, although table quality is good. -Gives best results in cool, northern sections. Dooley does best on warm, sandy soils and is highly resistant to Mild Mosaic, but susceptafole to Susarium Wilt; a good keeper, but table qual­ ity only fair and late in maturing. For best results, potatoes should not be grown -on the same ground more than once in three or four years. Best to plant on land in clover or alfalfa sod for one or two years previously. The bulletin discusses fertilizers in detail; preparation of soil; meth- or of disinfecting seed; corrosive sublimate treatment; time, rate and depth of planting; cultivation; dir­ ections for spraying to prevent late blight and rot and insect pests; har­ vesting, grading and storing. Every grower and farmer should write at once for this valuable and up-to-date bulletin on potatoes, good “cash” crop. a DRIVE ON DEER NETTED INDIANS 102 IN ROUNDUP By S. Garrett in London Free'Press [ Early writers were wone to refer to an annual number of wild animals which roamed what is now Middlesex County, especially in the vicinity of the Aux iSauible River. David Craig, a native of Ayrshire settled in McGillivray on the present site of Ailsa Craig in 183 5 and the following year a band of Indians encamped on his farm and commenc­ ed to hunt the dear which frequent­ ed a salt lick in the neighlboirhood. Upon moving away the Indians took 102 skins. Of the meat they kept only the hind quarters. As soon as he had selected a lot, Carig erected a log shanty an-d his first neighbors, George Shipley, John Morton, Asa Lynde and John Fisher, did likewise. In order to obtain sup­ plies they were obliged to walk thro’ the bush to* London which had only th-ree merchants—Dennis, and Messrs. Lawrason and Goodhue. Mr. Craiig is said to -have carried the doors of his cabin from Londo-n a distance of 2i4 miles. Later Mr. Craig became an exten­ sive landowner and business man, being engaged in manyi enterpirises, and is credited with having built 3 bridges over the Aux Sable river at h-is own expense. A strange situa­ tion in the large township of McGil­ livray was that it was governed by a Single councilor—William Carter. Mir. Craig interviewed this celebrat­ ed individual regarding the erection of a fourth bridge at the exlpense of the township but was told there was o-nly seven dollars in the treasury.

In 1848, Mr. Craig (Shipley offered lots for sale, plan­ ned a village to the called Craig’s Station. This was changed to Ailsa Ciraiig when they learned there was another place with the former name. The name now in use was of course taken from the rock at the mouth of the Clyde River in Scotland. W. K. Akinson opened the first Store in 186'0 and a similiar business was soon afterwards established by Thomas Barnes. George Prangley opened the first -hotel and John H. Priestly and Thomas Atkinson built the original grain warehouse.

IMrs. Schoenhals was formerly Elizabeth Schaeffer and they were married at Milverton in 1890. They have a fine family of five daughters and two sons. An -older son, Ed­ ward, died some years ago. The sec­ ond son Herjbert operates the mill at Port Colborne and the younger son, Melvin J., a great war veteran, is customs officer’ in Clinton. The daughters are all married but one. Rosella, Mirs.

Built in the early fifties by tihe late Samuel H. Rance, father of Col. H. T. Rance, Division Court Clerk, and Thomas Rance, the mill has tor nearly ninety years ground wheat into bread flour. For the first quarter century it was a combined flour mill and distillery and there are a few residents wlhio Have You Ever Seen can recall seeing the big whiskey vats and a barrel with whiskey al­ ways on top where farmers bringing wheat and barley help themselves, there was also a nection with the incident that is related in connection with it was the bursting of the 10 foot diameter fly wheel of the en­ gine. It happened one winter morn­ ing when the engineer turned on- the power to start the wheels moving. The governor belt slipped off the frosted pulley and allowed the en­ gine to run wild. The wheel flew into pieces and one large section was thrown through the mill iroof. The late William Dodds, father of Mrs, Agnes Dodds, The Fair’s Sr. became owner many years ago and was succeeded by his two sons James and Norman. Head millers who served under the elder Fair and later under th© younger ,men are J. P. Shepherd, now retired grocery merchant, and Harry- Hunt. Tha mill was enlarged during the Fiair own­ ership. The now retiring John S'choenals purchased the 'property in 1912 and was the owner. It was once a teams hauling the tihe mill and teams hauling away the milled products.
