Show Cattle ,
W. P. Watson, Ontario live
stock commissioner, said last
week that cattle bred to show*
ring standards get as good a re
ception as commercial cattle in
butcher shops.
Commercial cattle producers
say show winners have too much
fat to make good sales.
Mr. Watson, addressing an
Agricultural Institute, of Canada
conference at Toronto, said steers
that gain weight fast tend to
have a higher percentage of lean
be rough and heavy boned to
make rapid weight gains, he told
the 1,000 delegates.
In fact he said, some of the
best gains, are made by cattle
conforming to show-ring stand
ards. Fast - gaining steers also
made the cheapest gains, requir
ing less feed.
Senator J. A. Godbout told the
institute, composed of farmers
and interested manufacturers
and scientists, that dairymen
using artificial insemination
should consider carefully the
pedigrees ■ of bulls providing
sperm.
Should Exa:nine Bull
The former Quebec premier
and agriculture minister said
too many farmers tell insemina-
tor to “pick me a good bull” in
stead of examining the bulls and
their pedigrees and deciding
which is most compatible with
their cows.
Municipal Affairs Minister
Goodfellow of Ontario said one of
today’s most serious problems is
the spreading of towns and in
dustries over farmland.
During the last 10 years, 20 per
cent of the Niagara peninsula’s
finest farm land had been swal
lowed up in development.
“Of course we cannot tell a
farmer what he can or can’t do
with his land, but it is becoming
a grave problem,” he said.

Huron County
Crop Report
By G. W. MONTGOMERY ‘
Heavy rainfall and cool wea
ther delayed haying operations
in the county this past week.
Early seeded spring grain is
patchy and of poor colour.
In between showers, farmers
•are busy cultivating corn and
beans and spraying late seeded
fields of spring grain.
Fall wheat is now practically
all out in head and indications
are for a below average yield.
Livestock on the whole are in
fair condition with the milk flow
about normal for this, season of
the year.
By MARILYN TUCKEY

On Thursday, June 28, the 4-H

and powdered milk are made
and how milk is bottled for do*
mestic use.
Mr. Herb Webster, fieldman
with the Ontario Milk Producers’

than that of other countries.
Cleanliness is very important in
the handling of milk.

the Exeter club, thanked the
speaker and Marjorie Boyd, of
the Seaforth club, expressed the
appreciation of the 4-H’ers to

Letter From
Creditor!
By MRS. J. WOODALlj.
A change in production pro
grams to meet the changing ap
petite of the Canadian consumer
has been recommended in On
tario Farm Business, a publi
cation of the Ontario Agricultural
College economics department.
In the booklet, which outlines
the possible short-term economic
outlook for Ontario farmers, it
is pointed out that consumers are
shifting from lower priced ener
gy foods, such as cereals and
potatoes to higher-priced animal
products and fruit and vege
tables.
The increased meat consump
tion has showed in purchases of
pork, with 12,000 more pigs per
week being consumed than at the
same time in 1955. Yet statistics
indicate a marketing increase, of
only about 3,000 animals per
week this fall.
While domestic consumption
has been on the increase, partly
because of lower prices, there
has been only a slight increase
in stocks.
Predict Price Boost
For these reasons a stronger
hog price is predicted for this
fall, after the usual strengthen
ing of prices during the next few weeks.
Seasonal strengthening of beef
cattle prices is expected in July.
The cheese situation • appears
to be good, since stocks are down
in Canada and New Zealand.
Strong prices are expected, with
resultant support for the price
structure of concentrated milk
products.
Crop losses in Europe will like
ly mean good export prospects
and better prices for winter
wheat, and there will be higher
prices for roughages. Since early
potato and vegetable crops were
reduced by weather, prices will
be •higher than usual.

The TRUE VALUE of a feed lies in the RESULTS* it pro
duces.
The number of pounds of feed required to produce a
pound of gain or a dozen eggs or a gallon of milk, and the
cost of that feed are the real measures of the worth of
a ration. A feed canriot be evaluated in terms of the cost
per bag alone.
