You may never have to call the police. Yet the fact remains that you and your family feel more secure — are more secure — because of your telephone. Peace of mind is an extra value that is part of your telephone service; a value that cannot be measured.

Sweet clover is also estimated; at. not more than three-quarters of tho 1953 production and at 8,880,ft0fg pounds will be about half the 16e year average. Saskatchewan is ere pected to account for nearly halt the crop with Manitoba. and Al'iier- ta the next largest producers. Thai- - United States forecast is 38,885,00$ pounds of clean seed, 14 per cent above last year's crop but 10 per cent below average. Don't Sow Weeds It is not surprising that weeds remain a constant problem to -far- mers for it is amazing' how rapidly!' many of them reproduce. A single plant of wild mustard, stinitweed, foxtail or tampion produce& front 10,000 to 20,000 seeds; shepherd's purse about 50,000 and tumbling mustard as many as 1,5000,000r. seeds. They are particularly trou- blesome because all are so ineonr- spicuous that their presence is not readily noticed. Experts say that one of the rear: sons that weeds create a constant problem to efficient production, de- spite the development of new andt more powerful weed killers, is that so many are put 'back into the soil. through improperly cleaned seed... Some weeds are suck prolific seed producers that relatively clean[ fields can became badly contamin- ated in two or three years if the weeds are allowed to go to seed... or if poorly cleaned crop seed ie sown. The relatively slight added cost of sowing pure clean seed is welt repaid by cleaner fields and, lese time and expenses expended in fighting weeds. Counting North America's Cows Counting the cows is not a com- plete indication of prospective mills production but it does shows prob- able trends. The June, 1954, sur- vey by the Bureau of Statistis numbers of milk cows in Canada. reports a total of 3.223,000 compar- ed with 3,146,200 a year ago, an increase of 2.4 per cent. The rate of increase is considerably slower however, than the 5.9 per cent re- corded from 1952 to 1953. Canada's milk cow population has now regained much of the de- crease that, took place after the war when numbers' dropped from 3.958;000 in 1945 to the lowest point in 30 years -2,903,000 in 1951. I'E is now approaching the 1931 level of 3,371,000. These changes in Canadian milk row population parallel somewhat the changes that have taken place in the United States. The Cana- dian Trade Commissioner in Wtasb- ington. reporting on the June sur'- ey of milk cows on V.S. farms;. says: "Milk cows on U.S. farms in .bane this year, totalled 22.5 mit- lion head, about 1% per cent great- er than in June a year ago, but about the same as in December-.. 1953. This levelling off in milias cow numbers in the last six menthe t•ontra.sts with the moderate 'up' - trend that etarted in early 19$Z and extended through 1953 MilW • ow number s continnied to gain Qat' ing the past year in most of tbee more important specialized dairy/ States, Nit turned down in many Central States where other enter- prises such as hog raising offered) good alternatives to milk prodoc r rs. "Over the ln.at two decades they number•of milk cows on farms (ire the United States) has shown some lather wide swings. Following..... =,ut peak of around 25% million heak reached in early 19,34, milk cows numbers declined steadily to a low" T oint of a little more than 23 mit-. lion head in 1939, then started an upswing that continued• through+. the early years of World War ti,.. .1t the high point of this cylle„ reached in mid -1944, numbers eine- ed igiteri clown, with the d.eel•ine proceed,- mug rapidly for four years, theme,. rnntinuing more gradually for am i,ther three.
