On Wednesday, the 3rd instant,
the twelfth annual reunion of the
England Fancily was het at Grand
Bend and was a most enjoyable af-
fair, The day was very pleasant,
with a bright, warm sun though the
temperature was cool and invigorat-
ing. Though it was a good hay clay
the attendance was a little above
average as farmers and others gath-
ered from points 40 to 50 miles
away to have the pleasure of their
annual visil. once more. At 1 o'clock
all sat down to a delicious picnic
dinner and ample Justice was done
to the good things provided by ttie
ladies. The dinner, the social hour
and the business meeting following
were presided over by the president.,
Win. le Woods, of Watford. A num•
bet' of addresses were: made, a nom-
inating committee appointed and
plans made for the free distribution
of the printed Family History. As
the family is widely scattered fro
Ontario to British Columbia, beside
several in the United States, th
task of gathering information ha
been quite exacting, though a ver
pleasant pie.
The afternoon sports for both of
and young were thoroughly enjoyed
Visiting and the beach filled in th
remaining hours and all too soon 7
o'clock and supper came around.
The report of the nominating com-
mittee was received and the follow-
ing were among the officers elected:
Hon, President; W. H. Johnston,
Exeter; Past Pres„ Wm. E. Woods,
Wattord; Pres., Mrs. Ward Zavitz,
Watford; 1st Vice -Pres., Dr. W. V.
Moulton, Lueknow; Sec'y-Trees.,
Miss Jessie Woods, Watford. Mem.
hers of the luncheon, sports an
courtesy committees were also elect
ed. Those present were from Appin
Mount Brydges, Strathroy, Watford
Camlachie, Forest, Exeter, Auburn
and Lucknow. The singing of the ha
Donal anthem brought a most happy
and successful reunion to a close.

Dairy Production in Ontario
Cheese figures show that there has
been some diversion of milk from the
production of creamery butter to the
manufacture of factory she, , t', but
with the prevailing low prices sur
butter it is apparent Haat a twill
greater etfol'1 in this direction is re-
quired in order to atreugthen the
position of butter, says the monthly
dairy report of the Ontario depart-
ment of agriculture.
Prices of both butter and cheese
showed little change during June from
the previous month, being in each
case just slightly lower. The whole-
sale price of creamery butter at Tor-
onto averaged 22.1 cents per pound
as compared with 23 cents in the
previous month and 21.8 cents during
June 1939. Cheese prices average 13.8
cents per pound during June as
against 14 cents in May and 12.5
cents for June last year. The low
price of butter is tending to cause
milk to be diverted to cheese produc-
tion in the areas where cheese fac-
tories are established.
Exports of all dairy products from
Canada, with the exception of con-
densed milk, were substantially- lower
during May 1940 than in May 1931,
and the total value of exports de-
clined, Most of the decrease was ac-
counted for by a reduction in exports
of cheese. For the twelve months
ending May 1940, cheese exports front
Canada showed a large gain over the
previous twelve months, being 90,-
501,900
0,501,900 pounds as against 82,949,300
pounds. Butter exports followed the
trend of recent months and were
much lower than a year ago. Con-
densed milk exports were consider-
ably higher in May than a year earl-
ier, but shipments of powdered milk
showed d a 30% redaction and evapor-
ated almost 80% reduction.
Commercial sales of fluid milk in
the province during May 1940 were
reported at 22,542,000 quarts having a
sales value of $2,540,300,

On Wednesday, the 3rd instant,
the twelfth annual reunion of the
England Fancily was het at Grand
Bend and was a most enjoyable af-
fair, The day was very pleasant,
with a bright, warm sun though the
temperature was cool and invigorat-
ing. Though it was a good hay clay
the attendance was a little above
average as farmers and others gath-
ered from points 40 to 50 miles
away to have the pleasure of their
annual visil. once more. At 1 o'clock
all sat down to a delicious picnic
dinner and ample Justice was done
to the good things provided by ttie
ladies. The dinner, the social hour
and the business meeting following
were presided over by the president.,
Win. le Woods, of Watford. A num•
bet' of addresses were: made, a nom-
inating committee appointed and
plans made for the free distribution
of the printed Family History. As
the family is widely scattered fro
Ontario to British Columbia, beside
several in the United States, th
task of gathering information ha
been quite exacting, though a ver
pleasant pie.
The afternoon sports for both of
and young were thoroughly enjoyed
Visiting and the beach filled in th
remaining hours and all too soon 7
o'clock and supper came around.
The report of the nominating com-
mittee was received and the follow-
ing were among the officers elected:
Hon, President; W. H. Johnston,
Exeter; Past Pres„ Wm. E. Woods,
Wattord; Pres., Mrs. Ward Zavitz,
Watford; 1st Vice -Pres., Dr. W. V.
Moulton, Lueknow; Sec'y-Trees.,
Miss Jessie Woods, Watford. Mem.
hers of the luncheon, sports an
courtesy committees were also elect
ed. Those present were from Appin
Mount Brydges, Strathroy, Watford
Camlachie, Forest, Exeter, Auburn
and Lucknow. The singing of the ha
Donal anthem brought a most happy
and successful reunion to a close.

Dairy Production in Ontario
Cheese figures show that there has
been some diversion of milk from the
production of creamery butter to the
manufacture of factory she, , t', but
with the prevailing low prices sur
butter it is apparent Haat a twill
greater etfol'1 in this direction is re-
quired in order to atreugthen the
position of butter, says the monthly
dairy report of the Ontario depart-
ment of agriculture.
Prices of both butter and cheese
showed little change during June from
the previous month, being in each
case just slightly lower. The whole-
sale price of creamery butter at Tor-
onto averaged 22.1 cents per pound
as compared with 23 cents in the
previous month and 21.8 cents during
June 1939. Cheese prices average 13.8
cents per pound during June as
against 14 cents in May and 12.5
cents for June last year. The low
price of butter is tending to cause
milk to be diverted to cheese produc-
tion in the areas where cheese fac-
tories are established.
Exports of all dairy products from
Canada, with the exception of con-
densed milk, were substantially- lower
during May 1940 than in May 1931,
and the total value of exports de-
clined, Most of the decrease was ac-
counted for by a reduction in exports
of cheese. For the twelve months
ending May 1940, cheese exports front
Canada showed a large gain over the
previous twelve months, being 90,-
501,900
0,501,900 pounds as against 82,949,300
pounds. Butter exports followed the
trend of recent months and were
much lower than a year ago. Con-
densed milk exports were consider-
ably higher in May than a year earl-
ier, but shipments of powdered milk
showed d a 30% redaction and evapor-
ated almost 80% reduction.
Commercial sales of fluid milk in
the province during May 1940 were
reported at 22,542,000 quarts having a
sales value of $2,540,300,
