Wide Cost Range Shown
In Cheese Manufacture
!According to Dr. J. F. Booth of
Ottawa, the cost of ntalcing cheese in
115 Ontario fatcories ranges from
$1.85 per hundred pounds .where the
production amounts to 393,000
pounds, to as high as $3.21 per hun-
dred pounds where only 47,000
pounds are produced,
Cull Dairy Cows in Denmark
Go to Happy Hunting Ground
The slaughtering and burning of
cull dairy Sows is proceeding rapid-
ly in Denmark. This has been cited
as one practical method of reducing
over -production and lowering pro-
duction costs of milk. Also, it has
been indicated, far too many Cana-
dian dairy cows, having outlived their
milk -producing usefulness, are ship-
ped to market, instead of being con-
signed to the soil from whence they
• came.
Half of Canada's Berry Crop
Is Supplied by This Province
'Canada's commercial production of
strawberries for 1932 amounted to
approximately 20,600,000 quarts
Ontario's contribution to this total
was estimated at 10,184,000 quarts,
or close to fifty per cent..
The commercial production of
raspberries, for the same year, was
established at 7,250,000 quarts, On-
tario again supplying about half this
total or approximately 3,317,000.

Weekly Crop Report
Agricultural representatives report
that rain is badly needed in most
sections 'cf the province. Meadows
and spring crops which looked very
promising on June 1st are not com-
ing up to expectations due to the ex-
tremely ,hot weather in early June
which was followed in some sectione
by very cool temperature and frost In
some areas. Alfalfa is an exception
and reports indicate a satisfactory
tonage from this crop will be seemed.
Eastern Ontario Inca reported pas-
tures drying up and milk production
falling. Haying operations have been
general in all part of the provnice
during the past week. From South-
ern Ontario cone reports that the
drought seriously hurt the strawber-
ry crepe. Essex for instance, declares
that its crop will not average 30 per
cent of normal years. Many fields
of tobacco in I'Torfolk have .had to
be set lover again owing to the com-
bined damage of wind, frost and sun.
Canadian Bacon Export
During the first quarter of 1933,
bacon importations into Great (Bri-
tain were down some twenty per
cent, according to the Statistics
Branch. Canada and the Nether-
lands were the only countries to in-
crease their contributions to the ba
can supplies.
G-E1t
Ontario Onion Pool
At a meeting in Chatham, it was
decided to continue the operations of
the Ontario Onion Pool. Directors
commenced a campaign with the ob-
ject of securing members to sign up
on the basis of a one-year contract.
At the reeent annual meeting it was
decided to cancel the existing five-
year contracts.
Care Will Save Money
Farmers sustain enormous losses,
each year, through careless methods
of shipping livestock by train and
trick. Experienced shippers re-
commend that all cattle be dehorned,
that each class of stock be separated
by partitions, that loading -chutes be
used, and that all spikes, and slivers,
etc., be removed from cars and
trucks.

Wider Market Probable
Increasedopportunities for Can-
adian •cattle breeders to sell to the
;British market aro believed to exist
through thetariff differences be-
tween that country and Ireland. At
one time the Free State shipped a-
bout 800,900 head per year and have
exported as much as 1,000,000 head
in peak seasons.
The full effect of the new heavy
English duties against the Irish
Fred State will probably not be felt
.by Canada immediately but a gradual
reduction in Irish cattle :breeding is
anticipated. Providing Canadian pro-
ducers assure a continuity of supply
an excellent opportunity exists for
increasing cattle export.

Raspberry Diseases
Mosiac and leaf -curl are the , two
iliseases largely responsible for ! the
so-called Arming -out of raspberry
plantations, according to Dr. C. 11.
Berkeley, in charge of the Labora-
tory 'of Plant Pathology, of .St. Cath-
arines. ."Experience," he says, "bas-
ed on experimental evidence, has al-
so shown that the use of healthy
certified stook in setting out new
plantations is the only •satisfactory
way we have of checking running -out,
Stock free from these diseases may
'row be purchased, and it is with
disease-free stock, certified stock,
that new plantations should be set.
All certified stook must be sold in
bundles of twenty-five canes, to
which is attached the official gov-
ernment tag bearing' the name of
the variety, certificate number and
year of production.

Crops For Rolling Lands
Permanent pastures are extensive-
ly grown on rolling lands. Canada
blue grass, red top, Kentucky blue
grass and white clover are useful for
this purpose. The first mentioned
grass is of particular value where
the soil tends to dry out in summer.
The common mixture of red clover,
alsike and timothy may be sown far
hay and the timothy left down for a
number of years. Alfalfa is an ex-
cellent crop for hillsides and is to be
desired over other drops where it
-will grow successfully. In order to
receive a good stand of this perman-
ent hay crop, liming may be neces-
sary on some soils.
Oats,' rye, wheat and corn are
crops frequently voter with success
on rolling lands, but these crops are
tot as effective in controlling eros-
ion as hay and pasture crops. If
satisfactory crop yields are to be
secured, farm manure must be ap-
plied at seasons When it can be
ploughed under before any loss of
fertility takes place, Fall and win-
ter applications of manure (farm or
commercial fertilizer) are not desir-
able except on level land because of
the great loss of fertility which is
liable to occur from spring run-off.

Commercial Representatives
The Department has announced
that assistance is being given to
the Ontario Growers' Markets Coun•
cil to continue their Commercial Re.
presentative work. Fruit and Vege-
table Growers' Representatives will
be established en the principal. Cana-
dian' market to assist growers and
shippers in expanding !outlets for
their crops to the largest extent pos-
sible.
C. W'. Bauer, Secretary of the
Growers' Council, will have his head-
quarters established in Toronto this
year and in addition to being pre-
sent on the Toronto market will also
supervise the activities of the Re-
presentatives in other parts of the
Dominion.
H. E. Toms, Fruitland, is appoint-
ed Western Canada Representative
with headquarters in Winnipeg. A.
H. Dixon, Hamilton, will be establish-
ed on the Montreal Market and will
alae supervise Ottawa and Quebec
City shipments.
C. 11. K. Baillie, BeamsviIle, will
be the Growers' Representative in
the Maritime Provinces, with head-
quarters at either St. John or Hali-
fax.
The Representatives are maintain-
ed only during the fruit and vege-
table marketing season, In the past
two years their services .have been
extremely valuable and the demand
for Ontario fruits and vegetables has
been very widely extended as a re-
sult of their work. Since they began
.operations Ontario fruits have quad-
rupled in volume to the West, treb-
led to the Maritimes and doubled to
Montreal and district. In Western
Canada particularly, Ontario is re-
gaining its share of the consumer de-
mand and is veiny largely. replacing
imported produce, rather than inter-
fering in any way with British Co-
lumbia, growers.
THE VIGOUR OF CANADIAN
REGISTERED POULTRY
(Experimental Farms Note)
The reputation for vigour of Can-
adian bred poultry was fully estab-
lished when Canada sent, an exhibit
of live birds to the World's Poultry
Congress held at (Barcelona, Spain,
in 1024.
Despite the fact that many of the
birds' in the exhibit had travelled all
the way from the West Coast and
Vancouver Island, thousands of miles
across the continent to Ottawa,
where they went through the usual
washing and conditioning for show
before being reshipped via Mon-
treal to England, then to Barcelona,
a rail, ocean, rail journey of over
six thousand miles, they arrived at
their destination in perfect health
and anaintai ed that condition weeks dining the Congress, then re- Boys'
throughout the Congress, not one turned to the owner'in British Col -' Huron County Old Boys' Association of Toronto
bird showing off -condition during the
entire period.
s oemar ca e ev ence of sup-
erior vigour was freely commented
on at the Congress; and also at the
1930 Congress heldinLondon, Eng-
land, where 550. Canadian birds were
on exhibit. But it remained for a
Leghorn pullet among these 150 to
still further demonstrate this re-
markable vigour. This pullet from
Canadian Registered parents bred in
British 'Columbia, was shipped early
in July from Vanoeuver Island , to
Ottawa. Here she was show -con-
ditioned along with the rest and re-
shipped via Montreal to London,
England. She was on exhibition in
the Crystal Palace for nearly two
umbia, via Liverpool, Montreal and
Vancouver. She travelled a journey
of upwards of 12 thousand miles,
put up with .the washing, the condi-
tioning, and the excitement of being
examined by the 'multitudes at the
Congress, and in spite of all this
performed the remarkable feat of
laying 272. eggs in the 12 months -
a truly striking demonstration of
the wonderful stamina and vigour of
Canadian poultry.
Canada to maintain this reputation
is preparing to send a small exhibit
of about 50 birds to the coming
World's Poultry Congress to be held
in Rorie, Italy, in. September of this
year. --4'. C. Elford, Dominion Poul-

Webster Family Re -Union at Lucknow on Sat-
urday a fine Success
Cairn In Memory of Pioneer
Members Unveiled
The 10th annual reunion and pic-
nic of the Webster family was held
in the Caledonian :'ark, Lucknow,
on Saturday last, with some 300 de-
scendants present. An interesting
feature of the gathering was the un-
veiling of a cairn, which was erected
on the roadside north of Greenhill
Cemetery in memory of the pioneers
of the fancily. The cairn is built; of
field stone with an appropriate
bronze tablet, bearing the inscrip-
tion: "Erected in honor of the ori-
ginal members of the Webster fame
ily, who left their native Ireland in
the early years of the 19th century
to hew out for themselves and their
families, homes in the Canadian
forest near this spot."
The Cairn erected by the Webster
families, with Lia,ut. Colonel Harry
McGee a liberal contributor, was
built by Mr. John Webster, a stone
mason of Seaforth, from which dis-
trict many of the stones were brought
Enclosed in the Cairn is a casket,
hearing the names of the pioneers of
the family.
Gathering in the Caledonian park
the Lucknow Citizens' Band headed
the procession to the Cairn where
many were already in attendance
awaiting its dedication. Reeve Robert
Rae, welcomed the assembly to Luck -
now, and commended them in doirrg
honor to the pioneers who had work-
ed, that they might have a heritage
to hand clown to their cihldren.
Lieut. Colonel Harry McGee, of
the T. Eaton Co., Toronto, whose
mother was a Webster, was proud to
belong to the family he said, and
honored in being chosen to dedicate
the memorial. He recalled his com-
ing from Ireland • to Blyth over fifty
years ago, from where he was
brought to Ashfield to make his
home with the Wlebsters, where he
was always treated 55 a son. A great
pleasure is his yearly visit in this
community he added. He was as-
sisted by Mr. Tom Webster of Seal
forth, president of the organization.
in removing the flag which draped
the monument, and the Cairn was
thus officially dedicated.
piiev. Campbell Tavener offered
prayer, with short addresses by Rev.
W. P. Lane of Seaforth and Mr.
Golding, M.P. for South Huron. Mr.
Earl Webster of Toronto, represent-
ing the third generation of the fam-
ily, spoke, of the memory of their
forebearers as an example or the
youth of today. He portrayed the
lives of the pioneers, as a neighbor-
ly people, God-fearing, earnest, Sim-
ple and temperate.
Mr. Nat Caswell of Toronto, spoke
in a reminiscent mood, as did his
brother, Mr. Ed. Caswell, who out-
lined the lives of the Webster pion-
eers, and of his father, Rev. James
Caswell, who niinistered to the Web -
eters in the log church at Zion and
later in Lucknow. The singing, of,
"Blest be the tie that binds," brought
to a close a solemn ceremony that
Will not soon be forgotten, and which
could'' not help but link old and young
of. the Webster connection in a
stronger bond, to uphold the tradi-
tions and heritage of a time honored
name.
c�tr?_a
Following the unveiling Of the
memorial Cairn, which service con -
eluded at noon, relatives and friends
of the Webster "clan" returned to
the Caledonian Park, where an' elab-
orate and much enjoyed dinner was
served to some 300 people. Dinner
concluded, the Citizens' Band, enter-
tained with musical selections, while
an hour or so was spent in renewing 1
acquaintances and in friendly inter-
course.
Regrettable was the fact that two
sisters of the family, Miss Elizabeth
Webster, in her 92nd year andMrs.
Anderson is her 94th year, were un-
able to attend due to the frailities
of such advanced years. However,.
neither were forgotten in the minds
of ,the picknickers and many there
