ing is a long-term enterprise, pro-
duction cannot be turned on and off
at will, and hence it does pot lend it-
self to "in-an-out" methods of opera-
tion. If Canada Is to have continuity
of milk supply, we must have an ex-
cess of production over consumption.
An exportable quantity of dairy pro-
ducts will also aid in creating a fav-
orable balance of trade.
The adverse position of the dairy
farmer is a serious threat to the nut-
ritional welfare of Canadian families,
because milk, butter and cheese con-
tinue to remain the basic sources of
high-protein low-cost foods in the
Canadian diet.
A decline of dairy farms and dairy
cattle numbers constitutes a serious
threat to Canadian agriculture. Ani-
mal husbandry and soil building are
synonymous. Grazing land seeded to
permanent pasture prevents erosion
of top soil. Animal manure enriches
the soil by returning the nutrients
fed in crops taken from the soil,
Clover and legume crops grown for
cattle feeds add nitrogen and help
maintain soil fertility. Livestock are
able to utilize marginal range, pas-
ture and forage land which is unsuit-
ed for grain and crop production. Re-
duction of our livestock population
means that agriculture in Canada will
suffer. The welfare of Canada's
greatest primary industry affects and
will continue to affect the welfare of
every Canadian.

What is Happening in
Canada's Dairy industry
Analysis of the current position of
the dairy industry in Canada does
not encourage optimism, according to
officials of Dairy Farmers of Canada.
M ten year comparison, based on
figures drawn from offieial sources,
indicates that if present trends and
eonditions continue, two very serious
results are likely to occur, one of a
more immediate nature, the ether a
longer-term result. Both have serious
and far-reaching aspects in the Can-
adian economy.

There will be no softening of their
chores however. These will inevitably

not more tedious as the year pro-
ceeds. There is no doubt in my mind.
about that, if my reading of the fut-
ure is in any wise accurate. However,
with a such a strong council as has
just bean formed, composed of hard-
working Alert and intelligent men
who will face facts fearlessly, and
turn, as Emerson said "impediments
into instruments", we should have
little fear of Wingliam being obliged
to admit it was lagging behind other
towns in schemes for betterment. Let
our motto be, "Wingham will show
the way." Let us bear it in mind al-
ways.
Our much esteemed Mayor has put
forward a plea for better and heartier
co-operation from the new council
than he got from the old. I feel sure
he will get it. It is indeed the duty
of Councillors to give it, But, in my
opinion the councillors have another
duty equally important and that is
that each councillor think for him-
self and vote on an issues as his con-
science determines him. During the
last decade our councils have had in
them far too many "Yes men." We
don't want all our Councillors yessing
all the time. An occasional vociferous
"No" won't hurt any member.

The Consumer Outlook
The consumer position, is the only
bright aspect in this analysis, for
average wage rates have increased
More than consumer octets of the dairy
foods For example, the average wage
earner in manufacturing industry for
1939 had to work 15,6 minutes to earn
enough to buy one quart of milk. In
1951, he must work only 10.1 minutes
to buy the same quart of milk, Tn.
1939, the average wage earner forked
42.3 minutes to buy one pound of
butter, while today he works only
35.3 minutes to buy tse same pound,
Dairy food prices, also compare
Most favorably with all other food
prices, and especially so with the av-
erage of all animal products. Based
on the period August, 1939 - 100, the
price index of milk products in Oc-
tober, 1941 was 125.4, while all foods
was 124,1, and meat and eggs 130.6.
However, in 1951, the index for milk
products is 213.4, while all foods stand
at 251,5, and all animal products at
354.9. These figures indicate clearly
that dairy foods are doing their part
to reduce today's high cost of living.
THE PRODUCER OUTLOOK
Although the consumer outlook is
favorable, at the present time, the
same is not true of the producer out-
look. Farm production costs, chiefly
labor and feed costs in dairying, have
risen very sharply in the past decade.
Farm labor wages have risen 181 per
cent, while the cost of dairy grain
ration has risen 82 per cent. Prices
received for farm milk have not kept
pace with increasing costs of pro-
duction as the average price for one
hundred pounds of milk at the farm
has risen only '72 per cent. This lack
of balance between production costs
and prices received places the milk
producer in an unfavorable position.
This situation is causing reduction
of dairy operation by some farmers,
while higher returns from other fields
of production are causing many dairy
men to switch to other animal and
farm crops.
The National Outlook
As a result of the unfavorable pro-
ducer position, there are 2.4 percent
fewer dairy cows in Canada as com-
pared to 10 years ago, while the hum-
an population has increased 21.6 per
cent in that time. Total Canadian
milk production has fallen from 1438
pounds per capita in 1941 to 1174
pounds today. Furthermore, per cap-
ita consumption of milk in its fluid
and hi-product forms has dropped
from 1238 pounds in 1941 to 1099 at
the present time.
With per capita consumption nearly
equalling per capita production, there
is an extreme probability of shortages
