OCATTALO
Canadian cattlemen wanted a
new breed that could withstand
Mazza\s(It1 and sub -zero winters.
The ,]1Doaninioun Experimental
Farm at Wainwright, Alberta,
tried crossbreeding buffalo and
• cattle. First .they bred a buffalo
bull with a ticiwt;stic cow. The
calf's large head and shoulders •
killed three our of four cows at
birth. Then. they crossed domestic
hulls with buffalo cows. Normal
births ensued; but • the tirat
hybrids were. sterile. The ex-
perimenters. persisted, trying
'buffalocrosses of 'buffalo with different
cattle breeds -Aberdeen, 'Angus,
Shorthorn,, Hereford.
It took twenty-tive years to
produce 'a strain that not

In contributing to this special editi(in
of The Signal -Stair some observations
on the progress of agriculture hi my
lifetime, 1• wish to 'stress three phases
of community live as; ihey concern
farmers.
Though not a pioneer, I atm the son
of one tvltu settled on a bus]] farm.
in the township of ('ollwrne in 1955,
and 'having learned from him of the.
1�struggles of some►'of the early settlers,
and halving taken an active interest in
agricultural problems all my life, I
believe 1 pave seem three different
epochs in co-opera'ti've life.
The pioneer effort was inclividuatl-
i)4tis ,' itiTirfound ('1)(4i51((11 $iti )"leig1iT lr
ly activities. sut'll as the so-called
"bees" ----logging, - sawing, harvesting,
threshing and- husking heed on ` tite
farm: and quilting and sewing bees in
the house. When the need arose
other assistance was given, in the form
of lahur, food or clothing, without
any expectation of t0iietary reward.
f\ta
settlement increased assistance was
given in raising the first log build-
ings and later in erecting frame houses
and., barns, when help was needed for'
the drawing of materials and raising
of frames.
During these first years there was
found 0 need Lor voluntary co-operation
to,. provide opportunities of cultural
life,,and churches. sehools and fratern-
al lodges were established. School
sections were formed, sr��uu)1 bttllclirl to
erected] mid they proved so , efficient
and cheap that most of them are still
in their original condition and methods
'of teaching have changed very little..
Churches were` almost as numerous
, a,a schools and vafithis religious creeds
found enthusiastic oupportera. Fanners
