HOLSTEIN MEN FAVOR RETAINING SYSTEM OF ROP Including many from Huron County, more than' 800 members attended the annual meeting of the Holstein- Friesian Association of Canada, which was held February 6 in Tor onto. A resolution was passed, favouring retention of the present Record of Performance system; of production testing by the Dominion Government, provided it was overhauled and brought up to date. Reports of officers indicated 'that 1945 was the best year in the As- sociation's history. Registrations gained three per cent, reaching a new high of 53,149. Transfers of .owner- ship also showed an exceptional gain of 20 per cent for a total of 51,907, and membership gained, seven per cent totalling 9,717. The most spectacular feature 'of the report was the sixfold gain shown by the Selective Registration system of grading for conformation. This is the direct result of the -Association's new policy, requiring that the dam of any registered bull be either a grad- ed cow or one with an exceptional production record. Addressing the meeting, Dr. E. S. Archibald, Director .of Experimental Farms said: "The Holstein breed has made more progress in recent years than any other breed of cattle in Canada, dairy or beef. I am a keen supporter of the Holstein, because sheds the most profitable. dairy cow." Dr. Mark Welsh, leading U.S. auth- ority on Bang's . Disease which an- nually takes a toll of millions of dol- lars in Canada's dairy herds said: "At present there is no one best ,method for controlling Bang's Dis- ease, Many factors must be taken into consideration and this requires the experience and best judgement of the herd owner, the veterinarian and the Government officials." He predicted that if the surprisingly good strides made in the control of this disease during the past ten years continue that within the next ten years, he goal of eradicating Bang's Disease from o'ur dairy herds will be well in sight. Domestic Butter Ration Down in March and April Six to Four Ounces Week Canada's domestic butter ration, faced by a continuing decline in pro- duction, and by an increasing popu- lation, will be slashed during March and April from six to four ounces a person a week, Finance Minister Ils- ley announced. Attributing the move' to a "tetti- poraty emergency," he said, depleted reserve stocks, lower winter:produc- tion and increased consumption com- bined to make it necessary "if con- sumers are to be able to obtain butter for their •valid coupons." Continuing a four-month. decline, butter output during January went down to 9,640,000 pounds, a 15.6' per cent decline from the January, 1945, ;Domestic Pork Sales Will Be. Curtailed Most of This Year Curtailment of domestic sales of pork products throughout most of 1946 "at 'least" is forecast by W.' P. Watson, assistant director of live stock for Ontario, as a result of an- ticipated decreases in hog production, These decreases, it is expected, will mean that Canada will not meet her overseas bacon commitment in 1946, just as she did not in 1,945. Ship- ments last, year were slightly under the 450,000,000pound commitment. "This total was.niade possible only after strict curtailment of domestic supplies during the last four months of the year," said Mr. Watson. "Since the commitment for 1946 is the same as. last year, and since present fore - oasts indicate a slight decrease in hog marketing's, there is amplereasen for anticipating that domestic sales of pork products will be ' curtailed throughout most of the year at least." Reviewing the swine industry in general, the livestock branch official points out that the improvement In quality is encouraging, 52.1 per cent A's'boing produced in 1945 as com- pared with 28.3 per cent in 1944. total of 11,421,403 pounds. The six ounces ration has been established, a cut from seven, only recently in an- ticipation of such a slump. Mr. Ilsley said the reduction will be effected by making one coupon due every two weeks instead of three coupons every four weeks. Coupons will become valid March 7 and 21 and April 4 and 18. o , FARMING IN NORWAY Norway is basically •a nation of seafarers, but in that mountainous country fully 35 per cent of the people live by agriculture and for- estry, This farming and pastoral activity is compressed into a mere 2,500 square miles, but, given the land, the Norwegians are among the best and most efficient farmers in Europe. . LABOR SHORTAGE ON FARMS' SEEN 1 .DURING SUMMER A shortage of labor on farms in Western Ontario during the coming summer is anticipated by employment officials. Plans are already formulat- ed to ease the shortage as much as possible, but sufficient trained agri- culturalists are not expected to be available. G. T. Winter, assistant manager of National Employment Service, Lon- don, states the final outcome of the labor situation next summer depends mainly on the trend of industry. "If unemployment remains at its present level, many jobless workers will accept farm jobs. But it is an- ticipated that factories and businesses will be requiring help :at the same time," he said, Farmers from the Prairie Provinces are being brought east again this year by the Department of Labor, he said,in an effort' to assist Ontario worers, 'School shildren will be ecouraged to serve again next summer as in former years duringthe holiday period. IAit the present time there are open- ings listed at the London employment office for 28 full-time farmers for Western Ontario farms: Room and Board go with the positions.
