Packers pay top prices too for 200 pound vealers with the. creamy white flesh that straight whole milk -feeding pro- duces. But two questions often arise: In dealing with the problems of is whole milk the most profit - the industry it must he kept in able feed and what's the best mind that the major function of way to feed milk? the food processing industry is to purchase • the growers' pro- duct in season and make it avail- able in various processed forms throughout the year. This can only be done if the government undertsands the problems of the industry ` and relates the tariff on processed foodt to the tariff on the raw product under the seasonal duty and to other cost factors. The industry is in no way cri- tical or suggesting any changes in the tariff on raw products, machinery, etc. Industry is, how- ever, recommending thaat if it is to purchase Canadian grow- ers' products to meet the rising consumer demand its position vis -avis United States competi- tion must be recognized. If suf- ficient Canadian grown products are not available to the proces- sing roces- sing industry consideration should be given to applying the off-season rate of duty on int - ports by processors of U.S, raw products during domestic scar- city. The industry points out the ad- vantages of an aggressive policy for establishing and reviewing export markets, Any expansion of our export markets mean a greater usage of our growers' products, but equally important as a fair chance to compete in our own market. Both mean that more anadians will be employed in the various industries and ser- vices that go into the production and distribution of our processed foods. OAC dairy researchers tried eight different feeding systems on• 32 Holstein hull calves. The treatments tried were whole milk, pail fed; whole milk .fed for three weeks, then •-re-consti- tuted skint milk; milk replacer; and nurse cows. These four treatments were tested with and without supplements to make up the full eight systems. Here's what they found! —Calves on nurse Cows made the fastest daily gains (2.44 pounds). —Calves on .milk replacer made the slowest gains. —Average gain for all treat- ments teas 1.70 pounds per day. —Hay and concentrate supple- ments increased 1he daily gain of milk replacer and skim -milk calves, and increased the dress- ing percentage of skim -milk calves the most, —Nursed calves had the high. est dressing percentage (60.0°-). —Average dressing percentage for all other calves was 54,2e-,-. Market prices were highest for the whole milk -fed calves (522.72 per 100 pounds live weight), —Calves fed skim -milk supple- mented with concentrate and hay made the biggest profits.
