This redefining of a farm
probably had the effect of oh-
scoring to some extent at least
the actual drop in farm business
operations generally accepted
as "farms".
The trend to consolidation of
holdings, increased acreages
per unit, and fewer but larger
farms continues to go on, and
it could be strongly debated
that the number of actual farm.
business operations has declined
to a far greater degree than in-
dicated by this table.
New federal dairy policy
The following are the details
f the Federal dairy policy
which went into effect on May
1, 1962, and will remain for one
year.
CREAMERY BUTTER — The
agricultural stabilization board
has authorized the trade to buy
alt the creamery butter that is
manufactured at the rate of
640 per pound, anti to offer it
for resale at the rate of 520
per pound, the resultant savings
to the consumer being met out
of federal funds, The board has
also agreed to buy all surplus
butter at the same 64e level,
CHEESE — The agricultural
stabilization board has offered
to purchase Canada .first, grade
cheddar cheese at the rate of

Some of the long awaited
statistics on Ontario agricul.
lure expected from the 1961 cen-
sus of agriculture have heed
released by the Dominion Bur-
eau of Slams ics.
The DBS report shows that
there were 19,269 less farms in
Ontario at the time of the 1901
census than •there were in 1956.
This represented a drop from
140,602 farms in 1956 to 121,353
1961.in The total acreage in
farms in Ontario also declined
from 19,879,640 in 1956 to 16.-
578,507 in 1961.
These census figures employ
for the first time the new def-
inition of a 'farm". In 1956 a
farm was defined as being three
acres or more, or from one to
three acres if the agricultural
production exceeded $250,00.
The more recent definition
states that a farm is a plot of
one acre or more with sales of
farm products in the previous
12 months of $50 or more.
