There's no doubt about it — no one
Wants a steady diet of just bread and
water.
BUT — if you're feeding straight grain alone,
you're asking your livestock to live andjhrive
on "bread and water". And it's 'been proved
many times that you can't get the results from
grain alone that you get by feeding a balanced
ration.
It's been a hard job getting grain harvested in
many areas this year and losses have resulted.
Further loss can result if the grain• you do •har-
vest is not fed properly. For instance, it takes.
about 1,100 pounds of straight grain to put a
hog to market compared to just 650 pounds of
a combination of grain and SHUR-GAIN Hog-
mix Concentrate.

Pr9vince to Assume
Vaccination COst'
For Brucellosis
Dent W., 4. Qoodfenow, minister
of Agriculture, announced recently
the inauguration of another
.orward step in the fight nail*
brucellosis, or Pontagious abortion,
in Pattie, Brucellosis has been
causing heavy losses in thp cattle
dopulation. ;In addition the infee-
h n tiuom azy cause undulant fever, in
Mr, Goodfellow said that the
Brucellosis Act, passed at the last
session of legislature, would come
into effect on October. a, Under
its provisions the 245 townships
in which by-laws were passed
under the Brucellosis Control Act,
1953 will be designated supervised
areas. Included in this number
are all townships in the counties
of Brant, Bruce, Diindas, Durham,
Grey, Haldimand, Halton, Oxford,
Peel, Prince. Edward and York.
Other townships may be added
from time to time, hut before any
township can become a supervised
area at least two-thirds of the
cattle owners must sign petitions
,favoring the adoption of a com-
pulsory calfhood vaccination pro,
gram, an action' which has been
taken by the cattle owner's in the
townships that have been designat-
ed supervised areas.,
Under the plan the cost of Vac-
cination in supervised areas will be
borne by the Province, of Ontario.
As in the past ,the vaccine Will be
supplied by the Canada 'Depart-
ment of Agrfculture. In order to
facilitate operatioes, every practis-
ing veterinarian will be given an
opportunitY of entering • into • an
agreement with the minister. If
all practitioners,,. take advantage
(W of this • e!, as expected, each
cattle owner 'in 'a' supervised area
will be, able: to get. big , female
calves VaCeinated at no 'direct cost
to hiniself by the',veterinarian of
his own Choosing, . ,
The plan will be, administered by
the Live. Stock Commissioner, W.
P, Watson, and his assistant, Dr.
Harold WOrton, the Provincial
Veterinarian.
"During recent years Ontario has
made significant Progress in reduc-
ing the incidence of Brucellotis as
evidenced by the fact that 244,924
calves were vaccinated in 1955,"
said Mr. Goodfellow. "However
the fight must go on at an, in-
creased rate, not only, because of
the economic loss which the di-
sease is causing at home, ,but to
preserve 'our export markets as
well., Last year Canada exported
41,691 head of pure bred,and grade
cattle for breeding purposes, al-
most 85 per cent of which originat-
ed in Ontario. The majority went
to United States, a market which
can only be retained if we have
animals that are free from disease,
and particularly brucellosis."
BUS TOUR Mgt

trict have asked about the possibil-
ity of an organized bus trip to the

OFA Econarnist Says
No Improvement
In Farm- Income
Ontario farmers !have not shared
in the reported 13.1% increase in
cash income of Ganadian farmers
for the first half of • 1956, Cecil
Belyea, Ontario Federation. of
Agriculture economist stated last
week.
"While latest Dominion Bureau
of Statistics reports indicate that
cash income of Canadian farmers
has increased 13.1% in the' first
six months of 1956 compared, with
the same' period last year, these
same reports also show that
Ontario farmers' cash income has
dropped $9,600,000 or almost 3 per
cent in the Came period," .Mr.
Belyea said.
"Moreover, cash farm income
figures merely report the farmers',
income," the OFA economist add-'
ed, "Such figures are not nearly
as significant as net farm income
figures which reflect what the
farmer has • left after meeting
operating expenses. Net farm in-
come figures for Ontario, or for
Canada, covering the • first six
months of 1956 are not yet•avail-
able." '
Mr. Belyea said that considering
this year's smaller supplies of
western and eastern feed grains
and resulting :higher prices, plus
increased costs of other commodi-
ties and services, the prospects
for Ontario farmers in the next
six months show no improvement
over last year, or the year before.

FEDERATION REVIEWS
FARMERS' PROBLEMS
WITH GOVERNMENT
A serious reduction in Ontario's
1956 ' crop volumes was reported
at a, regular meeting of the direc-
tors of 'the Ontario Federation of
Agriculture, held recently in To-
ronto.
Estimates • on grain harvestings
for 1956 ranged from 10 per cent
of normal in the eastern Ontario
counties to 60 per cent, of ,normal
in the Hamilton-Toronto area, Re-
ports on Ontario's fruit crop was
placed 'at 40 per cent to 50 per
cent of normal, Late seeding and
late spring combined with' poor
harvesting weather and late ma-
turing were blamed for the small
crop.
The Ontario Federation of Agri
culture directors decided that On-
tario farmers this fall would re-
quire additional credit to tide

"Face Facts
Trees and Tree
Farming Provide
A Cash Crop
WINNIPEG—Right now the
forest industries are Canada's
biggest business. The woods
Operations, the pulp and paper
companies, and the lumber
mills together produce goods
valued at some $4 billion a
year. They employ close to
400,000 people and they an-
nually pay out some $13/4 bil-
lion in wages, more than any
other Canadian „producer. In
addition, they account for a
third of the nation's experts.
To do all this, the forest in-
dustries, annually harvest a
whopping 40 millipn cords of
wood and purchase another
$500 million of mill supplies
and agricultural, products. Yet
within the next 25 years it is
estimated that the wood
harvest will increase to -some
65 or 70 million cords. Fores-
try is big business now, but it's
going to get a lot bigger.
These were the forest facts
revealed at a National Fordtry
Conference held in Winnipeg
this month. The Conference,
attended by 150 representa-
tives 'of leading national or-
ganizations studied the future
of Canada's forests, especially
how they should be used, man-
aged, and conserved.
The Conference was spon-
sored by the Canadian Chain-
ber of Commerce, the Canadian
Forestry Association, the En-
gineering Institute of Canada,
and the Canadian Institute of
Forestry. • Its purpose was to
bring together forestry experts,
business men, government
officials, and, civic .representa-
tives to discuss ways and
inemis of improving forest
farming in Canada. The prin-
cipal speaker was the Hon.
Jean Lesag 0, Minister Of
Northern Affairs and National
Resources, Ottawa.
J. L. Van Camp, secretary of
the Conference and general
manager of the Canadian For-
estry Association ealled upon
the Conferenee to frame a new
forward-looking ;forest policy
that will,encourage forest Man,
agement.
"Forest conservation 8bduid
never mean forest preserva-
tion," said Mr. Van Camp,
"there is no point in permit-
ting trees to erow, mature, die,
and then rot. The best kind of •
