Dairy
feeding
workshop
A workshop to help determine
a ration for your own dairy herd
making use of you r own feeds
and supplementing these with
concentrates is set for February
7th from 10:30 to 3:30 p.m. in
Londesboro Hall. Coffee will,
be supplied but bring your own
lunch.
George Jackson, Dairy Spec-
ialist for Ontario Ministry, of
Agriculture and Food will speak
briefly on balancing rations and
means of supplementing home-
grown feeds. Following this, you
will be able to discuss your
specific feeding programme and
be shown how to calculate the
levels of: Protein; T,D.N., Min-
erals and Vitamins, which are in
your ration and how you could
balance the ration. George Pen-
fold, Agricultural Engineer, Hur-
on County will outline factors
to consider in building structures
for housing livestock and stor-
age of feed and outline areas you
should be concerned with when
expanding your dairy herd.
Trees are one of Nature's few
renewable resources. Through
wise replanting and good manage-
ment, there are more trees grow-
ing in many forests than anytime
in the past thirty years. In many
forests, for every tree harvested,
four seedlings are planted to grow
tomorrow's forest. The result:
more trees to serve the needs of
more people each year.

million on commercial fertilizer
for their land in 1970, Statistics
Canada reported today' in its
latest Census of Agriculture pub-
lication.
Measurement of fertilizer use
was collected for the first time
indicate that fertilizer is one
of the important cash inputs into
Canadian farms. Of the $131
million total, 41 per cent was
spent in Ontario, ,18 per cent
in Alberta, 17 per cent in Quebec,
8 per cent in Manitoba, 5 per cent
in Saskatchewan and 4 per cent
in British Columbia.
Of the 366,128 Canadian farms
reporting, only 39 per cent indi-
cated the use of fertilizer In
1971. The proportion of farms
with fertilizer applied was
generally larger in the regions
of more intensively farmed land.
Prince Edward Island had the ,
largest proportion of farms using
fertilizer (60 per cent), followed
by Ontario (51 per cent) and
Quebec (41 per cent).
In all, some 17 million acres
were fertilized, representing 22

voted to crops and improved
pasture. Alberta had the highest
fertilized acreage (5.6 million
acres), followed by Saskatchewan
(3.7 million), Ontario (3.1
million), Manitoba (2.9 million)
and Quebec (1.2 million),
Although Newfoundland had
the lowest fertilized acreage, it
was the highest (34 per cent)
in terms of percentage of total
crop and pasture land under fer-
tilization.

tilizer application in relation to
total acreage, seeded (63 per
cent) went to tobacco cultivation,
followed by corn seeded for

Dairy farming has made an
almost complete turn-about in
the last two years. The change
has been gradual, however, and
there is a danger of hanging onto
ideas and attitudes that may have
been valid two years ago but are
dead wrong now.
Here, for example, are some
ideas we hear, talked about often;
It doesn't pay to buy quota. It
doesn't pay to ship surplus. It's
impossible for a young farmer
to start up. It doesn't make
sense to increase the herd.
The supply-and-demand pic-
ture and price changes for dairy
products have made all of these
ideas obsolete. They were de-.
veloped in the days when indus-
trial milk was at $3.50 and
storage was filled to the rafters
with milk powder and butter.
There's been a great im-
provement since then. The dairy
business has a good positive out-
look, even though there are a
lot of soft spots in other areas
of farming.
To be specific, let's take a
look at dairying from the point .
of view of someone just starting.
About 30 cows would be minimum,
and he would have to buy Market
Share Quota and Federal Subsidy
Quota to cover them. These
quotas are commonly sold
together, and althoUgh there is
a wide range in price the average
last month was about one cent
per pound for total milk sold in
the year.
So the quota might come to
$3,600, or around $120 per cow.
It's a big eXpense, but now with
better milk prices it can be
paid out of income. The milk
would sell in the Class 2 pool,
h and with the subsidy added and
deductions off, the recent price ,
Was $5.83 less trucking. This
price is reasonable, at least for
starting, and Jersey and
Guernsey owners have a `little
edge with 7 1/2 cents extra for
point of bUtterfat aboVe standard.
