Less Cows Now Than Ever Before June is Dairy Month ... and while the Canadian population continues to expand, and the demand for dairy products con - tinues to increase, a matter for the concern of all Canadians is "Where will the milk come from in future?"

The recent moves taken by the government to establish higher prices to farmers for milk may or may not have the desired effect; namely to stim- ulate production and farm in- come. The farmer, however, is a victim of another situation which is only indirectly related to the economics of dairy farming. As the farmer is called upon to become more and more efficient, and this generally implies that he should become bigger, the need for help in the operation of his farm becomes more acute. Consistent with this need is a growing disenchantment on the part of experienced dairy farm labor with the demanding nature of a dairy farm. Good men are departing this field to seek employment where they can enjoy a five day, 40 -hour week, with week -ends free. Many of the best dairy farmers have prematurely retired be- cause of the failure to obtain satisfactory help. If no solution 'to the problems of dairy production are found it is possible that Canada will be put in the ludicrous position of importing dairy products into a country which is one of the last agricultural reservoirs in world. ters of Manitoba, are on a mo- tor trip to Niagara Falls and other points east.

Harold Taylor, grand old medical pian of Goderich, was honored by Huron County Council at the June session on completing 41 years' service as county goal physician. He was appointed in 1925. His father, the late Dr. Alex Taylor, had held the same •ap- pontment for close to 40 years before him, thus constituting an 80 -year span of service by father and son. In presenting the veteran medico with a beautiful gold wrist watch in behalf of county council, Stewart Procter, Morris, chairman of the property com- mittee, paid tribute to his fine qualities. The father had come to Goderich in 1870, and had re- turned to practise in the coun- ty town after taking .a post- graduate course at the Univers- ity of Edinburgh, and father and son had been prominent in the lives of thousands of people in Goderich and vicinity. The recipient showered praise on all those goal officials and staff with whom he had been associated. He mentioned in particular the goaler, R. W. "Peg" Bell, who had seen serv- ice in two wars overseas; to chief turnkey John Robertson; and to the entire staff who had extended him a great deal of courtesy. Wean healthier, heavier pigs!
