FEEDING DAIRY COWS ON PASTURE (Experimental Fanns News) Pasture provides the cheapest feed available for milk production and it is highly desirable to provide cows with an abundance of fresh green herbage as long as possible throughout the pasture season. Early grazing helps to accomplish this. C. D. MacKenzie, Division of Animal Husbandry, Dominion Experimental Farms Service also suggests prac­ tising rotational grazing, using an­ nual pasture crops such as oats and Sudan grass, and providing the cows with aftermath from part of the area used for hay. Also, silage and soiling crops can often be used to supplement the regular pastures, particularly during the latter part of the summer. On good pasture cows giving from 30 to 35 pounds of milk daily need very little rain. However, cows giving over this amount require one pound of meal for each three pounds of milk produced above it, As young growing grass is high in protein, a meal mixture composed of home­ grown grains such as oats and bar­ ley is satisfactory, With more ma­ ture grasses, however, it is advis­ able to add a small amount of lin­ seed oil mean tor ground soybeans to the home grown grains in order to properly balance the ration. In ad­ dition, sufficient water, a supply of salt and a mineral mixture should’ be supplied taking care that the cows have ’shade and protection from flies. Dr. Edwin Franko Goldman, direc­ tor of Goldman’s Band, famous in­ ternational concert organization of sixty musicians, is delighted with the prospect of appearing at the Canadian National Exhibition again after a lapse of eleven years. This magnificent organization will appear afternoon and evening in the band shell throughout, the Exhibition. Dr. j Goldman was literally carried from ( the podium in the ovation accorded , him at the closing concert of liis 1929 engagement. Expect No Exemptions In Home Defence Plan; First Call Next Month OTTAWA, July 5 — (CP) —Many thousands of young Canadians will undergo military training this sum­ mer either as volunteer recruits for the non-permanent active militia or as draftees into the same organiza­ tion. In order to accommodate them officials of the national defence de­ partment are busy arranging for in­ creased camp accommodations and clothing manufacturers are working their factories overtime producing uniforms. Details of the plan for mobiliza­ tion are still being worked out by the department. Here it is said the first call may go out to a class of .men between, the ages of 20 and 27 or 30 sometime in August, depend­ ing on whether the militia units and their present personnel have com­ pleted their one month of camp training and vacated the camps by that time. It is understood no exemptions from military service will-be grant­ ed within the classes called, for family or other reasons. Consequent­ ly it is felt exemptions need not be granted. In addition to spending a month in camp the draftees will have to undergo training during the evenings throughout the year as militia men do in war and peace. They will be called, into active ser­ vice in Canada in case of need but but not to service overseas except when they volunteer for such ser­ vice. The mobilization plan, however, will not be permitted to interfere with war industries. In case where men engaged in vital war work fall 1 A STATEMENT ON FORD WAR WORK IN CANADA This Company is in the war to the full limit of its resources. Until the British Empire is victorious, until the battle for freedom of nations and liberty of peoples is won, we have pledged all the vast manufacturing facilities of our Canadian and overseas affiliated companies to the service of the Empire. plant addition to provide facilities for the building of Universal machine gun carriers of which we have under­ taken to deliver fifty a week to the Canadian government as soon as production can be started. This addition will also enable us to increase production of other types of military vehicles. Our affiliated companies with plants in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, India and Malaya are similarly engaged in Empire service. Beyond our manufacturing facilities we have been for­ tunately able to contribute skilled man-power. From our Canadian and overseas organization, engineers and men with special training in transport and other lines are rendering valuable service. Major adjustments in our business have been necessary through loss of export trade and because of domestic taxation. We have made these adjustments cheerfully. Our one concern now is the successful prosecution of this war so that people of all nations may again be able to work in freedom and peace. FORD MOTOR COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED We regard this to be our simple duty as a Canadian in­ stitution, one of the industrial resources of the Dominion. The 8,400 employees in our plants as well as our wide­ spread dealer and service organization from coast to coast are Canadian. The Company’s shareholders include a large proportion of Canadian investors. No one indi­ vidual, family or company has a majority control of our shares. For these reasons, aside from our deep feeling of loyalty to the Empire and its high purposes, it is fitting that Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited should give whole-hearted support to the national war effort. From the very beginning this has been our course. Even before war was declared, in co-operation with officers of the Department of National Defence, we laid in our plant the groundwork of military production. Since conflict became a reality we have given war orders precedence over everything else. More than fifty per cent of our production is in vehicles for military use and this percentage is increasing rapidly. We are now engaged in supplying approximately 35,000 motorized vehicles of many types, of which 10,000 are for the Canadian government and 25,000 for other Empire governments. We are constructing at our own expense a $700,000 Statement in Parliament by the Hon. C. S>. Howe, Minister of Munitions and Supply ’'The president of the Canadian Company has shown perhaps as keen a desire to assist in Canada’s war effort as any citizen of this Dominion has done. His corporation since the outbreak of the war has done and is doing very important work for Canada’s war effort, in the way of building motor transports and Universal carriers. The com­ pany has placed itself entirely in the hands of the government as to the terms of the contract which it has had. ‘'A contract, providing for a fixed price as low as we could find any basis for asking, was worked out; an over­ riding provision was inserted that the books of the company would be audited and if the stipulated price produced a profit more than a very low percentage indeed, that price would be scaled down accordingly. In other words, the work of the Ford Motor Company of Canada, its attitude toward the war, and its ability to assist in Canada’s war effort, have been so far as I have been able to observe, beyond criticism.” Statement in.Senate by Senator Raoul Dandurand, Government Leader in the Senate ’'Ford Motor Company of Canada is doing its utmost to serve the interests of the country, the War Supply Board and the Government.” Statement in the Senate by Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen, Conservative Leader in the Senate "They (Ford dealers in Canada) are numbered in the hundreds. And the number of employees of these dealers is very large. The ramifications are tremendous, For all the purposes concerning us, the Company is a Canadian con­ cern, and I Can add to the assurance given by the honourable leader of the House my'own feeling [that there are no better Canadians than those at the head of the Ford Motor Company of Canada and throughout that Company’s organization. They will assist us to the utmost in our war work.” Women’s Auxiliary Motor Service Early in the war the Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, organized free train­ ing courses for women in the care and operation of motor vehicles for possible war service; 284 such classes have been conducted, With an enrollment of 7,343. The number who have completed the eight-week course is 3,473,with 2,656 now under instruction and 1,214 enrolled in new classes about to start. All instruction and equipment has been furnished by Ford dealers and the Company without charge. Types of Motorized Vehicles for Military Use Being Made by Ford Motor Company of Canada The Company is engaged in manufactur­ ing 35,000 motorized vehicles for Cana, dian and overseas governments. They in­ clude light two-wheel drive trucks, known as S-cwt., which are used for carrying light stores, personnel or wireless sets; 15-cwt. units, used to transport heavier loads, personnel, as anti-tank gun tractors, water tank carriers, etc.; 30-cwt. four- wheel drive, used as load carriers; three- ton, four and six wheels, for heavy loads, for workshops, for wrecking equipment, etc.; four-wheel drive gun tractors used to haul artillery, as well as ambulances and regular passenger cars and station wagons specially fitted and painted for army pur­ poses. Present schedule of deliveries of these military vehicles constitutes more than 50 per cent of the Company’s produc­ tion. The plant is working day and night* MiIim within the classes called up for training may be excused from camp training but required to take part- time training throughout the year. In some cases, also.jhe camp train­ ing of key workers may be postponed to a time when they can be spared from their jobs. The general policy being framed appears to be to give every able- bodied man up to the age of 45 a measure of military training and to do it as quickly as possible. Trained Men First When and as additional men are required for the fulltime soldiery, the C.A.S.F., the R.C.A.F or the Royal Canadian Navy, they will be selected from among the trained mil­ itia men, volnteers or draftees who offer their services. All militia units have been au­ thorized to recruit up to wartime strength and an appeal for volun- eers for militia service may soon be made by Hon. R. iL. Ralston, who has taken over the department of national defence. This means that the militia units will go into camp in August with the same strength as C.A.S.F’. units, now in camp or shortly to go there on completion of their recruiting. The training camps now being en­ larged and increased in numbers will be filled with men until the snow flies. Order of preference for camp train­ ing will be first in the Canadian Ac­ tive Service Force, second the mil­ itia with its present volunteer and, lastly, when called into the militia under the national resources mobil­ ization law.
