For over 20years now, we have
been buildingup a herd of a
rather peculiar breed of beef
cattle at our farin, the Belted'
Galloway. These Bellies look like
their black cousins in most re-
spects arid they are about the
same size. But each one is
marked with a very striking band
of white which goes right around
its middle. One dear ofd lady who
dropped in frond the city one day
to pay us a visa was somewhat
shocked the first time she saw
our herd, and immediately asked
why we had bandaged them all.
These are rugged animals, and
are fed on the snow or not at all. ft,
is • also a very rare breed, with
perhaps no more than 20 herds in
its native Scotland and no more
than a half dozen small herds in
the U.S. It seems that there will
soon be more however, because
to the hobby farmer this is an
ideal animal, It takes very little
care, is a spectacular beast to be-
hold, and most important of all, it
is very different from anything
his neighbours own. -
But quite apart from, its grow=
ing appeal to the hobbyists, we
likg the br a, id;we'll continue
f''to deep thea Mt! dry. ire they
admirably adapted for the rigors
of our Canadian winters, but they
are also exceptionally fine
' milkers. And thereby hangs a
tale which I think I should tell you
now.
Back around 1875, when British
cattlemen were just beginning to
see the importance of keeping
breeds pure and separate, the
Scottish Galloway men began to
plan their first herd book. At the
same time they made their first
plans to improve their breed and
to standardize it.
"Now look here," their organ-
izers said, "let's just have , one
color to this breed. Let's agree
that we won't include any color
but black in our book."
•
The 'cattle of the Galloway dis-
trict in Scotland at that time were
rather careless about their
colors, with some whites, some
reds and some broken . colors
mixing in with the rest. Even-
tually the Scots settled for the
black and the dun colors. All the
rest were to be cast into the outer
darkness. And the curious belted
variety was one of the colors
which was .to be eradicated.
Everybody agreed to this it
seems — everybody Ithat is but
the good wives of the Galloway'
country, and they wouldn't agree
at all. •
Their reasons?
Well first of all, the Belties
were so pretty! Secondly., since
time immemorial,' the farm
wives of the country had always
believed that a Belted cow was a
better milker than the others
were apt to be, and so ' when it
came time to select a "house
cow" frotn the herd, the woman
of the house invariably selected a
,big cow with a big white belt
around it.
To make a long and very inter-
esting story short and purely
historicali `there was somuch
femin ne_prdt t a`bc it tliertficie
discrimination their husbands
had levelled against the Belted
cows of Scotland- that a special
herd book was opened to keep
these animals from becoming ex-
tinct. So whatever else you may
have to say about the Belted
Galloway, you ' must at least
admit that it is the only breed in
the world today- which owes its
existence to the will of angry
women..
Even today, some 80 years
later, most Galloway breeders
will tell you/that a Belted cowis
likely to have an unusual share of
milk for her calf. But many of
them don't like the breed just the
same. Why? Well, it's still a
woman's breed you know!
Crop surveys from space
As the August sun ripens the
wealth of the Prairies, teams of
government workers, farmers
and elevator agents call or drive
from' farm to farm to estimate
the size of the maturing crops.
The information is telegraphed
to Ottawa, mixed into a national
estimate by toiling statisticians
and delivered after days of con-
centrated, complicated effort to
the agencies and individuals who
must market the harvested
grain.
There may be a better way.
A faster, more accurate count
of acreage may some day be
made with the help of satellites
orbiting hundreds of miles above
the fields. A test of crop -counting
by satellite was completed last
summer, about the time the
traditional survey was being
made on the ground, and the re
sults are encouraging to the
scientists who performed it.
Dr. A. R. Mack, an Agriculture
Canada researcher working at
the Canada Center for Remote
Sensing in Ottawa, leans over the
huge computer -printed maps of
the western test areas and points
out the rectangles of dots, X's and
other Symbols Which reveal the
acreage and crop planted in each
field.
"We think we can provide ear-
lier estimates for the Wheat
Board, and some day we may be
able to measure the extent of
things such as drought, frost
damage and the productivity of
prairie rangeland," says Dr.
Mack,
The remote sensing center re-
ceives its satellite data from the
government tracking station at
Prince Albert, Sask., and then
.feeds it through the computers
which produce the print-out
•
maps:
Photographic, prints of the
paths swept by the satellite are
also created electronically,\ and
in these pictures the fields appear
as hazy patches of white, gray or
black, depending upon the nature
of the planted crop.
At any moment during its 14
orbits a day the satellite —
ERTS-1 — watches 11,100 square
miles of the earth's surface and
its milli -spectral scanners can
identify the light and measure the
amount of reflections bouncing
back from an area as small as
one acre.
The project is performed in
Canada in cooperation with the
U.S. Department of Agriculture
and the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration which
launched ERTS-i in July, 1972.
Agronomists from several re-
search stations, universities and
a commercial "firm in Canada are
participating in the program.
Also, 'mathematicians, computer
programers and other specialists
with the Canada Center for
Remote Sensing are developing
new ways to provide the best
information from satellite and
high altitude photography.
Thirteen test strips for study-
ing spring wheat were scanned in
the 1973 test, eight of them in
Canada. `The areas covered in-
cluded • Starbuck and St,ney
Mountain, Man.; Melfort, Delisle
and Swift Current, Sask.; Ray-
mond 'and ,Olds, Alta. ; and
Dawson Creek, B.C.
Accuracy of the satellite esti-
mates is about 90 per cent when
the crops are maturing. One
reason.why the accuracy is not
higher is that barley and wheat
mature together and, at the time
of ripening, reflect similar wave-
lengths of light back to space.
The two crops are therefore diff-
icult to tell apart and research
will. be required to determine the
best time and way to distinguish
them.
How does the system work?
First, the sunlight reflected by
the crops, is picked up by a scan-
ning device and directed to four
separate sensors in the satellite,
each one registering only the
radiations within a specific band
of the spectrum. All other light is
blocked by filters.
The amount and wavelengths
of light reflected by, a field
depend not only on the type of
crop growing but on the maturity
of the plants themselves. The
amount of chlorophyll in the plant
and the size and shape of its
leaves all affect the type of light
reflected.
By analyzing the light reflec-
tions from a particular patch of
ground, and then visiting the field
to check the crop' visually, a com-
plete code of wavelengths is
developed. It is this code that
allows the identification of crops
in'other fields without the neces-
sity of paying a personal visit.
To simplify the procedure, only
two bands of light were analyzed
in the 1973 test: the visible red
light band and a band of non -
thermal infrared light.
Let's take the example of rape-
seed.
A healthy, green rapeseed crop
reflects a very low level of red
light and a Very high level of
infrared.
A few weeks later, the crop
matures to a brownish yellow aa. -
its chlorophyll content becomes
smaller. The change affects the
type of light reflected and flow
the satellite registers much more
light within the red band and less
in the infrared band.
The system is by no means
perfect because it obviously
Cannot function at night or when ,
the land is hidden by cloud. The
ERTS-1 satellite is only an
experimental machine. It will
probably take several years
before a truly practical satellite
can be designed and launched to
provide our marketing agencies
with reliable information, not
only of Canada but of other grain -
producing countries in the world.

WINDOW FROSTING
If you're looking for a little more
privacy in one of your rooms. in
which the window isn't frosted, here's
one method of frosting that window.
Soften some putty with a few dtops
of linseed oil, and dab this over the
window glass. This will dry into a nice
frosting in a day or two, whereupon
another coating may be applied. This
frosting is more or kss permanent and
weatherproof, and can be safely wash-
ed with soap and water. But it is
possible, too, to "defrost" the glass at
Any time, if you with, with some con-
centrated ammonia.
