Dominion Dairy Branch
Reorganization.
Definite reorganization of the Do
minion Dairy and Cold Storage
Branch, for which preparation has
been in the making far some time, is
announced in the Dairy News Letter
of April 10, A nese Division of Dalry
Produce has been established. It will
deal with grading, educational cheese
and butter scoring contests, grading
classes, and judging at exhibitions.
The former Dairy Division will hence-
forth be known as the Division of
Dairy Manufeetures and will have to
do with all the activities of the
Branch relating to the manufacture
of butter, cheese and other dairy pro-
ducts, the operation of the Govern
anent dairy stations, etc. The Cold
Storage Division has been merged
with the Extension of Markets Di-
vision and will hereafter be known
as the Division of Markets and Cold
Storage. The administration of dairy
laws, hitherto under the Markets Di-
vision, will be conducted as a separate
service: The establishment of a Di-
vision of Dairy Research was an-
nounced in January. The work of
cow -testing, carried on hitherto by the
Dairy Branch, has been assigned to
the Live Stock Commissioner,
Percentage of Crops on Hand.
At the end of March, nccording to
official figures, 15 per cent, of Iast
year's wheat cropwas stili in farm-
ers' bands. Last year et the same
time the amount in farmers' hands of
the 1922 crop was 14 per cent. In
other words the wheat crop in farm-
ers' hands on March 31 was 70,755,
000 bushels of the estimated total
yield in 1923 of 474,100,000 bushels.
In 1923, at the same time 54,7 71,000
bushels remained of the yield in 1022
of 309,786,400 bushels. Oats remain-
ing was 44 per cent. against. 35 per
cent., barley 28 against. 25 per cent.,
rye 19 against 17 per cent., buck-
wheat 20 against 22 per cent., corn
for husking 18 against 22 per cent.,
flaxseed 34 against 17 per cent., po-
tatoes 34 against 35 per cent., tui-
nips 12 against 13 ,per cent., hay and
clover 26 against the same porcentago
last year.
At the end of March, reports reedy -
ed at Ottawa indicated that on the
average the winter in Canada had
been fine and mild, that live stocks was
in good condition, that fodder ` was
plentiful and that heavy horses, good
milch cows and sheep were in demand.
A Gentle Reminder,
The father of two boys was praying
ball with them. The game was fast
and the excitement high when,
through sheer surprise at some of his
son's playing, the father uttered a
mild oath. The mother, who was en-
joying the game from her window,
raised the sash and, calling gently to
the father, said:
"Willie, you know I do not allow
boyswho say bad words to Play with
any little boys."
No more bad words were heard
throughout the game,
