C. Hemingway. ' Farm Management gets prior- ity in New Government Exten sion Policy! This was a headline in one of our county Weeklies. In the article that followed Mr. Goodfellow pointed out the need for better bookkeeping and more business -like management of the farm operation. This policy is ap- parently to replace the former policy of solving the farmers' problem by making two blades of grass grow in the place formerly taken by one. This new brand of farm efficiency is apparently be- ing accepted by most. of our Agri. cultural Representatives to mean a lowering of costs of production without increasing production. This seems to be the Ontario Minister of AgrIculture's answer to the low income problem. of On tario farmers. Let us hope it brings improvement but in the meantime let us look at the ac- tions of other areas, and I quote from the newsletter of the Dairy Farmers of Canada. The British Milk Marketing Board and National Milk Publicity Council will launch its biggest sales effort ever, during the corn- ing year, to increase sales of milk, cream and cheese. The tot- al campaign will cost $6.14 mil- lion (Canadian Money). The reasons given for this cam- paign are: (1) increasing compet- titian, especially from abroad, for a share of the housewife's purse. (Note—farmers in Canada have been able to obtain a smal- ler share of consumers' dollar than in any other comparable country). (2) the need to make room in the markets for greater supplies. (Note—in Canada, from many of the meetings I have at- tended recently, it seems that we are dedicated to a policy of re- duced production in spite of the fact that dieticians tell us that the average diet in both the up, per and lower inconie brackets is not adequate), (3) to maintain and guard the existing markets. Emphasis will be on the fluid market, and for this the Board's television campaign will be about a :000,000, The use of; vending machines will be increased to make milk more available, At this time last year there were 1700 vending machines in opera- tion; by the end of this year there will be 4;000, which means some 8 million gallons a year more milk sales, The Board has 20 mobile bars and during the past season these dairy bars were at 1,200 outdoor events such as air displays, agri- cultural fairs, flower shows, etc. (Note—there was only one fair which I attended in the county last fall that had dairy products readily available). Additional efforts will also be placed on increasing sales at the doorstep, Sales drives this year have included over 10,000 milk salesmen serving 3,000,000 homes, These drives regularly increase milk sales by 1 to 2%, The cream promotions have had spe- cial success, sales having risen 30% with the great potential still to be exploited. (Note—Canada's dairy surplus is 2%) Which solu- tion to the Dairy problem do you prefer?
