Sincerely, il R. E. "Ted" Pooley For Transportation To The Polls, Phone 641-J The objective of most farming operations is to make a dollar. Today’s margin of profit is smaller than it has been for quite a long time. This is espec­ ially true in the livestock busi­ ness, whether it is beef, pork or dairy. More and more research is being carried on to lower the cost of production by the basis of good breeding. We now have R.O.P. and D.H.I.A. in- the dairy industry and Advanced Registry in the Pork and Beef Industry. Most of us are familial* with the results of Advanced Registry in hogs, lit has increased quality as well as giving a better feed conversion. Advanced Registry Beef Cattle is somewhat newer and' has been carried out at the Q.A.C. since Novembei* 1951. Many startling figures are being made into facts that up to now were “Suspicions”. Showing standard are “Bunk", and the figures are proving it. Feed conversion* is another study that is being carried out along with the Advanced Regis­ try Progeny tests and are set out clearly in the report now avail­ able. For instance, the relationship -between 'Grain and Hay Con­ sumption is most interesting. Call Stratford 4174 Priced From $8.75 To $17.75 BLUEBIRD .

Attention is drawn to the that 51 calves required less than six pounds of grain per pound of gain, while 22 calves consum­ ed 7.0 pounds or more of grain in producing each pound of gain. Every ' time grain requirements per pound of gain are increased by one pound the cost of finish­ ing cattle is increased by from ?3.00 to $4.00. per hundred­ weight depending upon the cost of the grain mixture. However, grain is not the only item entering into feed costs— the roughage portion of the ra­ tion must be considered as well. According to this table the calves that require the most grain per pound of gain also consumed the most hay in the process. Another interesting thing is calvesthe idea whether heavier require mope feed. Despite the fact that whose starting weights above average had higher ing weights than those were below average in weight at the commencement of the feed­ ing period one should not as­ sume that the additional returns received for the heavier calves represents a corresponding amount of profit. Certainly such would not be the case if the rule of feeding the grain mixture at the rate of two pounds of grain mixture for every 100 pounds of live weight was followed.

As in previous analysis the results as they apply to the heaviest group should not be considered as being conclusive in VALENTINE BECKER Reeve For Hay Township For 1956 Having served ‘the Township for five years as Councillor and two years as Deputy-Reeve, I am now in the field for the Reeveship.

According to surveys have been made, feed accounts for approximately 80 per cent of the cost of producing beef cattle. The Story In Saintsbury By MRS. H.
