barn which keeps the •cows cleaner, healthier and improves their production. —T -A Photo

Few people can resist the call of the countryside as
Spring moves toward Summer. Nature is then seen
at her best, and the air is fresh and invigorating.
Plowedfields have given way to the green of growing
seeds and grains. Grass, that wonder plant without
which human life could not exist, covers much of
the land. Dairy cows now roam in lush pastures.
As you view this scene, has it ever occurred to
you how closely your welfare is linked with that
of the dairy farmer? His cows, skilfully
tended, convert these growing plants into milk for
the dairy foods thatmean so much to your healthful
living. Your purchases of his milk and butter
and cheese make it possible for him to operate
his dairy farm.
Consider the far-reaching importance of these purchases.
Whether you're a salesman, housewife, factory
worker or dentist, your*purchases of dairy foods
contribute to your own income stability. One
in every six Canadians, 2,500,000 persons, are
dependent on the industry ... farm families, farm
labour, dairy plant employees, truckers and many
others. Their purchases include specialized items
like tractors, milking machines, feeds and fertilizer
costing many millions of dollars. In addition, these
2,500,000 people buy shoes, food, electrical
appliances, clothing, cosmetics, theatre tickets,
insurance policies and countless other items.
This one-sixth of the'population are big consumers
of the goodt and services produced by the other
five -sixths.
It is evident then, that we is Canada'all are
inter -dependent for mutual well-being, Our
fortunes rise and fall on the same tides.
