V Disappointment Due "There seems to be a tendency to believe that Canadians are so pros- perous that they can afford to use Canadian agriculture to reconstruct the agriculture of all the other Allied nations. Those who, have the idea are due for a great disappointment." — Hon. James G, Gardiner, Dominion Minister of 'Agriculture, V Early Canadian Cheese Factories The system of making cheese in factories originated in Herkimer County, New York State, about 1851 and this district played a leading part in the development of the industry, In 1803, Harvey Farington, a success- ful eheesemaker of Herkimer County, paid a visit to Oxford County, Ont,, and was so impressed with its suitab- ility for cheesemaking that he moved his family there and started the first cheese factory in Canada in the fol- lowing year in the township of Nor- wich on the farm of G. V. Long. Four other factories were opened in the county the year afterwards, and the town of Ingersoll became the centre of the cheese industry. In the same year, 1865, another United States citizen named Strong, opened a fac- tory in Eastern Ontario near Brock- ville. At the same time factories were started in the Province of Quebec. It was not until 21 years later that the first cheese factory was opened h. the Prairie Provinces at Shoal Lake, Manitoba. Although Ontario can claim the first cheese factory the first creamer- ies and introduction of the first cream separator. were established in Quebec Province. As far 115 records show, the first creamery was started in Hunt- ingdon County in .July, 1873, Ontario following two years later with a creamery at Teeswater. In the earby days before the introduction of sep- arators, cream was obtained by sett- ing mills in large flat pans.— S. R. Howe, Dairy Products Division, ad- dressing the South Western Butter - maker's Club at Chath ni, Ont. v Over $350,000 Paid in Sub- - sidy on Feed Grains Up to November 30, the Ontario Department of Agriculture has paid out a total of $353,372.25 to Ontario farmers in subsidies on feed grains brought from Western Canada since the subsidy was inaugurated in Aug- ust, The extent to which Ontario tar- uters are taking advantage of the op- portunity to secure Western feed grain at favourable prices is inticat- ed by the fact that applications- for. subsidy are being received at the rate of about 1,500 a week, A heavy ac - emulation of applications is now being worked off •and in November 1,000 more applications were put through for' payment than were received but there are still some 4,000 to 5,000 waiting payment. The Ontario feed grain subsidy ter- minates on December 31 and all ap- plications 'must reach the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture not later than January 31st 1944. Applications for less than five ton lots will be accepted only from farmers who have previously sent in applications. The subsidies paid represent ship- ments to Ontario of 199,770 tolls of feed grain. Huron' County tops the list with 1,953 applications covering 19,404 tons in which subsidies of $33,- 825.26 were paid. The total applice, tions numbered 19,833 so that Huron County represents about 10 per cent of the total for the Province. Clinton Monument Works .8; as "i 5 n ya t • Mr. J. J.
