That's a typical week in the
dull, vegetable existence of a
small town in winter. And in
in there somewhere I missed two
hoekey games, a social evening
at the Legion Hall, and a chance
to be guest speaker at a rural
Women's Institute meeting.

The only thingthat saves
smalltown people from going
right around the bend is the oc-
casional weekend snatched in the
city. There they can rest, mend
the frayed edges, revel in the
knowledge that they have twb
whole days with nothing to do,
the next do-si-do.
The CBC -TV four-part series, "The Road to Adjustment" is designed to be of particular in-
terest. to Canada's fanners and fishermen. Prog=rams in-
.. examine problems of the .small farmer
who is tied to older methods which no longer cope with today's demands ("The Old Road."); the
farmer who, realizing he must change, has ada pted his farm to handle grassland crops and feed-
er cattle in order that he can supplement his in come by doing other work ("Detour"); and the.
farmer who has mechanized his operation and x uns it as a big business ("Throughway") The
final show deals with the case of Canada's Maritime fisheru en and the hardships they now face.
This CBC -TV series runs for four weeks, begin ing' Wednesday, March 2.
Dept. Of Agriculture
Advises Farmers Not
To Keep Bulls ,.Around
Keeping a herd sire is sur-
prisingly expensive. But is he
too expensive? Maybe this advice
from O.A.C,'s Dr, Bruce Stone
will help.
The Ontario Department of
Agriculture dairy cattle resear-
cher says that, "Too few dairy-
men figure out the actual cost of
keeping.a bull before they decide
to buy or sell one. And even few-
er farmers compare this cost
with that of using only artificial
insemination."
Most ,people try to buy a br-
eeding -age bull (12 to 15 months)
that Will improve the. herd. This
will cost $250 to $350. To feed
a bull of this age (weight about
1100 lbs.) you will need nearly
2500 lbs. of hay and 1500 lbs.
of grain per year. With hay sell-
ing for $20 a ton and grain $55
a ton, total annual feed costs
including concentrate would be
$85 to $100.
Cost of bedding, housing and
veterinary service will vary, but
an' average figure would be $50.
Labour costs are similar. For the
total annual cost of keeping a
herd sire you should figure in-
terest on your money plus de-
preciation, which . would bring the
figure to nearly $250.
With an average -sized dairy
herd in. Ontario (25 to 30 cows)
service froth such a bull would
cost $8.50 to $10. Compare this
to the artificial service fee of $5.
"A saving of $90 to $150 can
be made by using entirely A.I.
on anaverage-sized herd", con-
cludes .Stone. The break-even
point seems to be at the 45 to
50 cow level.
"There's another considera- j
tion", - says Stone. "For a little
extra feed and labour and about
the same housing costs, you can
replace the bull with a inilk cow
which should make you about
$50.
