The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-04-22, Page 10Page 2-Wingham Advance -Times, Thursday, Apr. 22, 1965 Bulk Milk Clinic Is Held in Blyth The Blyth Concentrated Milk Producers sponsored a farm bulk milk clinic for pro- ducers in Blyth last Thursday. Twenty-five interested area farmers were present. Martin Baan, president, opened the meeting and intro- duced Russell Bradford, dairy branch fieldman; Bert Moggach, agricultural engineer, Depart- ment of Agriculture of Ontario; and Don Crawford, U. D. P. C. fieldman from Guelph. They ,were the leaders in discussion, Russell Bradford explained the 'regulations for milk houses as laid down by the dairy branch. He said that the floor area of a•milk house must be at least•ta8 square feet, be properly drained and ventila- ted, and have a two compart- ment stainless steel sink with hot and cold running water. Bert Moggach spoke of the materials which may be used for a milk house, He gave the insulation material costs as follows; 8 inch cement blocks $1.11; 8 inch blocks filled with vermicelite $1.79; 8 inch Haydite block, $2.00; 8 inch blocks filled with vermicelite $4,00; 8 inch Durisol blocks, $7.80; 8 inch blocks filled with vermicelite, $9.00; 4 inch studding, 3 inch rock wool, $12.00; 4 inch studding, 4 inch rock wool, $14.00. The poorest insulation is cement block and the highest value is the four inch rock wool. In using the latter it was sug- gested that felt paper and steel be used on the outside and cheap plywood, covered with 1/8 flexboard on the inside. The advantage of flexboard is that it has a hard surface and does not necessarily have to be painted. The floor should be reinforc- ed with six-inch square wire and properly drained by a three foot sediment tank outside the WooL Realize the highest returns for your wool by patronizing your own Organization.

It was emphasized that the milk house should be large enough to house the bulk tank and give room for easy clean- ing. It should be located ?lose to the stable and allow easy access for the bulk truck. Don Crawford explained the U. D. P. C. 's plan for financing as a benefit to its members, A bulk tank can be financed on a four-year payment plan. He also pointed out that careful thought should be given to the size of the tank. Tanks are de- signed for two-day pick-up. They should be at least large enough for five milkings, al- though six would be better to allow for expansion. It was suggested that the nearest fieldman should be con- sulted before starting to build a milk house. The agricultural engineer is always available to help in choosing a site and planning the building itself. Even if a supplier prefers to purchase his own bulk tank the U. D. P. C. will help members by doing their financing. A lively discussion followed the meeting and milk and doughnuts were served. Member Ouestions Government Move TORONTO -Murray Gaunt, Liberal member for Huron - Bruce, has questioned the ad- visability of the government's move "at this time" to put brucellosis control on a volun- tary basis in Ontario. Mr. Gaunt told the Legisla- ture yesterday he approved of the idea in principle but felt it was premature "by two or three years" in view of the fact that the disease still exists, even though one per cent or less of the cattle population in Ont- ario is still infected. The government proposes to amend the Brucellosis Control Act of 1956 by making vaccin- ation of female calves volun- tary instead of compulsory. "We have just completed province -wide testing of herds and incidence of the disease is limited but it has not been completely eradicated," Mr. Gaunt said. "When we moved so far to control it, I question the wis- dom of taking any chances that it might flare up again. " In two or three years time, I believe we could be suffic- iently advanced in suppressing the disease to have such volun- tary legislation," he added. Mr. Gaunt also questioned whether there would be a prob- lem with Ontario breeders ex- porting breeding stock to the U.S. once vaccination against brucellosis was put on a volun- tary basis.
