The Show Ring Vers
ONTARIO FARMERS have been having a
field day in discussion at the annual meetings
of various organizations in Toronto last week
and this weak, Every year,'these two weeks
in mid -winter provide them with the opportun-
ity of taking time off from their daily duties,
visiting the big city, and getting down to cases _
in the matter of livestock and crop production.
Reports indicate that one of the big points
at the livestock sessions was the fact that farm
leaders received a couple of lectures on the
advantages of growing animais which look
good in the butcher shop rather than in the
show ring. • It also is reported that some of
the breeders liked what the- heard, while
others dict not.
The lectures, however, probably were
cheerful words to farmers whose only part in•
such livestock shows is the role of spectators.
Most of them—and we ourselves -would ?admit
the show ring has a part to play in maintain-
ing breed standards and encouraging breeders
to ten out animals that conform to those
standards:
However, when show standards call for e
type of. animal that no one would buy from
the corner butcher, what good is agriculture
generally going to get out of it?
us the Butcher Shop
Professor R. G. Knox, head of the animal
husbandry department at Ontario Agricultural
College, Guelph, made. a point of it at the •
Shorthorn meeting when he stated that show
and commercial standards were getting too
far apart. It came up again at a joint meet-
ing of the beef breeds when Professor George
Brown, MVlichigaai State College, Lansing, said
he thought it was time show judges handed
out points to animals that. could put on weight
from foraging, rather than piling on fat when
stuffed by well-heeled .bleeders.
The Mme thing even came up at the
Holstein -Friesian Association meeting when G.
1\4. Clemens, secretary -manager, noted that
of the bullsregisteredduring the past year,
99 per cent were from dams classified as
''Good plus" or better, but only 39.per cent
were from dams qualifying in ROP. He felt
it was logical that bulls should ' come from
herds on ROP testa
Most of us like nothing'better than to see
prize cettle in the show ring: But is it not
possible for too much stress to be laid on that
feature of livestock production and too little •
on the down-to-earth production of beef for
commercial purposes? 'In any case, there should
be a happy medium.
"Le Parti Bleu"
T2IE PEOPLE OF. QUEBEC—at least some
people its Quebec---seern to like the colour
blue, And this isn't the blue represented in
the colours of the University of Toronto nor
the blue portion of the uniforms of the Toronto
team,
Maple Leaf hockey m
It is "Ie Parti bleu," the direct descendent
of the party of Sir John A. Macdonald now
known as the Progressive Conservative Party.
' The Federal by-election victory in the
traditionally Quebec Liberal riding of Nicolet-
Yamaska o,n Monday by the Progressive Con-
servative candidate probably marks a„1+.ieihing
of -a •milestone in political, -Slistory of Canada,
If not that, it is a • mutter off' some significance
that the Progrg�sgive Con.ex=vative vote should
increase from 944, a peer third, in 1945, to
8.295, in fust place; 1n. February 1949,
