"Despite Claims by some,the
future of agriculture is a bk7,g#t
one," Robert McCubbte 11 P ,
parliamentary assistant to the.Min-
ister of Agriculture told members
of the Huron and Bruce Holstein
Breeders' Association ,at their pic-
nic at bions Park Thursday.
The picnic competed with haying
and from an attendance standpoint
lost out. After weeks of bad wea-
ther members were forced to get
hay in rather than go to the picnic.
Proceedings were wound up earlier
than otherwise would have been the
case so that those attending the
picnic could get back to haying.
Chairman for the short program
which followed the picnic lynch was
Bert Dunn, Rayfield, president of
the Huron group. The speaker was
introduced by A. Y. McLean who
welcomed the gathering to Lions
Park and thanked by Simon Hall-
ahan, Belgrave, past president.
1 Others who spoke were . Gordon
13e11, St. Marys, Holstein Friesian
Association Fieldman and G. W.
Montgomery, Huron . agricultural
representative-
' Mr. McCubbin reviewed the de-
velopment of the Holstein breed
and discussed the agricultural pic-
i ture in Canada.
You now probably expect me to
say something about the milk pro -
!duction of this country. The total
milk production of last year was
17.276,644,000 pounds. For the first
`our months of 1956, we produced
4440,000,000 pounds of milk, an in-
crease of 202 million pounds.
The creamery butter production
from January to June, -1956, was
136,765,000 pounds, a decrease of
ithree and a half million pounds as
compared with the samet•period a
year ago. The month of June alone
was down 1.8 million pounds from
a year ago.
Cheese production for the first
six months of 1956 was 32,295,000
pounds, a decrease of 1,396,000
pounds over the same period of a
year ago.
Fluid milk consumption for Jan-
uary to April this year is running
about five per cent above the same
period of a year ago. Our cream-
ery butter consumption for the per-
iod January to June, 1956, is 145,-
569,000 pounds, whereas a year ago
for' the same period it was 140,-
992,000, an increase of 4t/z million
pounds. Cheddar 'cheese consump-
tion or disappearance is estimated
for the first six months of this year
to 341/2 million pounds, a decrease
of 2 million pounds over the same
period last year.
Production of concentrated milk
products is running at record lev-
els for the first six months being
four per cent higher than last year.
The production of evaporated milk
in June of this year was the high-
est that was ever produced in this
month. We have 5 million pounds
mega d + 'skater_ milk en hand. .for
July 1st thanwas fife ' c� gt
year. Our exports • of dried whole'
milk are lower_ than what they
were last year up to the present,
but are, expected to equal. at least
the record year" of 1955. For -the
first time in several years, large
quantities of dried skim Irlllk were
shipped to India. The British West
Indies and Latin American coun-
tries • continue to be our best ex-
port outlets.
Evaporated milk consumption in
Canada is running at 5 million
pounds more this, year than last
year for the first six months, and
there seems to be little doubt that
Canada will use approximately 300
million pounds of this product this
year. It also appears that we will
use in the neighborhood of 12 mil-
lion pounds of dried skim milk
compared with one million pounds
five years ago.
The total stocks of butter in Can-
ada as of July lst, 1956, are 89,-
729,000 pounds; a year ago it was
90,280,000 pounds. Last year the
Price Support Board purchased 36
million pounds, whereas this year
they only had to purchase 32.8
million pounds.
There is every indication that
we will ship some surplus cheese
again to Great Britain this year
for they have set aside dollars for
the • purchase of our cheddar
cheese. Cheddar cheese supplies,
particularly from exporting coun-
tries, have been in short supply,
and s a consequence, the market
has been firm: As at the 6th of
July, the market for English and
Scotch cheddars was quoted at
280/—(35c per pound Canadian
funds); New Zealand 294/—(363/4c
per pound). The latest quotation
for Canadians with some maturity
was the equivalent of 40 cents per
pound. Latest information receiv-
ed through The Canada Trade is
that with more abundant supplies
of cheese from New Zealand, the
United Kingdom cheese market is
weakening.
Cattle
No doubt you people would want
me to say something in respect to
the beef cattle situation but, be-
fore I do that, I would like to men-'
tion the export market that we
have 48r dairy cattle. Last week,
there were 818 dairy and pure bred
cattle exported to the United
States, and we have, up to July 7
of this year, exported 26,396 dairy
and pure bred cattle; last year in
the same length of time we export-
ed 20,950 cattle. This shows that
we have a good healthy export
market for our dairy cattle in the
United States, which is a help to
you dairy people.
In respect to the beef cattle, we
have exported in the neighborhood
ir'
of 1,000 live Battle 414 110, the nejfr
bdrbood of six million pods of
beef, which is ' equivalent tti about
12,000 cattle; this is all, the surplus
we had on hand, ourbeef cattle
industry is in a healthy stakes and
I will try to explain my reason for
saying this. The average weekly
slaughter up to Jtily 7, 1956, is
33,506 cattle, whereas last year in
the same period it was 30,877 cat-
tle, an increase. of 83 per cent.
Our Red and Blue brands, which
are our top grades of cattle, this
year, per week, reached 14,130-
42.1%Q of our kill --whereas last
year Reds and Blues were 11,751
cattle, or 38,1% of our kill. These
figures show that our cattle in Can-
ada
anada are grading higher than they
formerly did, and this is a -good
At Toronto, choice steers, that is
Red Brand, sold from $21.50 to
$22.50 with 10 head at $22.60. These
prices are the full equivalent of
cost's over Chicago which are
about $3.00, The cattle are not
moving in because ,the kind qi
cattle the Toronto uyers want
from the U.S., that is, the low end
of Reds and Blues, are not -avail-
able in any numbers in the U.S.
right now.
The situation from now until the
end of the year will depend large-
ly on how Red and Blue cattle are
fed into the market. Up to date,
the average numbers of Reds and
Blues have been 14,130 weekly.
The week before last, that is July
7th, the total was 14,019. The fig-
ures for last week are not yet
available, but the heavy runs to-
wards the end of the week would
indicate that the farmers sent in
about the same number.
There just is not enough cattle,
of brandable quality, to keep up
this number until the end of Sep-
tember, so it is up to the produc-
ers themselves. If these cattle
can be fed in at the numbers the
market will absorb, prices will
maintain the same spread between
Toronto and Chicago. If too many
cattle arrive' on the - market our
prices will break back.

Being a woman, I'm naturally
attracted to color and style ...
and this new Pontiac of ours—
as well as all the others we see
on the roads—is teaching me
lots of new tricks with color
and design. Pontiac's trim
good looks make it easy to
"dress up" to. That's important
and very pleasant!
Isn't it divine . I mean
really! Absolutely everybody
is proud of our new car—and
not just because it's another
Pontiac. It's because , , ,
well, it's a'little hard to explain,
but I guess it's because
Pontiac this year is the most—
a real cool cat. I mean

Gee whiz! I'm the most popular
guy on the street—all the kids
want rides in our new car. And
.no wonder, because—honest—
it's a real honey ! Dad's new
