British Buyers Pay Top
Prices For 220 Holsteins
. In order to introduce new blood in-
to the herds of its, members, the
British laiesian Cattle Society, Lon-
don, England, has just completed the
purchase of 220 head of outstanding
Canadian Holsteins at a cost of over
half a million dollar.
One of these . included "Woodvale
Sovereign Rag Apple Dekol," e two-
year-old bull owned by J. W. Van-
Egmond and L. S. Jervis, Clinton, at
$4,500.
The average price paid at the farm
was the record-breaking figure , of
$2,037 which with handling and
transportation costs is increased to
approximately $2,300, delivered in
Great Britain. The cattle were selected
in the Provinces, of Ontario', Quebec,
Manitoba and Alberta, and will go to
breeders in all parts of Great Britain.
This is the highest average price
or total ever paid for any single ship:.
ment of Holstein -Friesian cattle ever
exported from Canada, and the
animals qualifying for it met the
highest specifications, ever establish-
ed for a large scale importation.
These included milk and total butter-
fat records at least 25 per cent above
Record of Performance requirements
on the three nearest female ancestors
of all the bulls chosen and on the
two nearest clams of heifers. Service
Sires had to meet the same require -
runts as bulls that were purelumed.
In addition, no record, regardless of
total milk, with a teat of less than
3.7 per cent butterfat was considered.
The baying delegation consisted of
G. B. Radcliffe, Alistair Munro Frank
Terry, and the newly appointed sec-
retary of the British Friesian Society,
W. II. Bursby. The entire selection
consisted of 50 bulls, eight milking
heifers, 69 bred heifers and 99 open
heifers. The highest price paid was
$10,000 to Hays Limited, Calgary and
Brampton, for Hays' Gerben Again,
two -months -old daughter of Aleartra
Gerben, World 'Champion yearly but-.
toilet producer with 1,409 lbs. fat.

tion will go to Britain in three ship-
ments—one now, one later in the fall

NEWS -RECORD. One cent a word,
THE PROVINCE OF PROMISE...
Central ONTARIO'S rich pasture lands have, from the
earliest days of settlement, sustained larger herds of dairy cattle
than were necessary to the Province's own needs. in these
'earliest' days, which were not much more than a century ago,
dairy production was exceedingly primitive, but the 1891 census,
disclosed the existence of 1,565 cheese factories in the Dominion,'"
igf which Ontario had 893. Today, this great showing is par.
alleled in every branch of Canada's dairying industry... To-
morrow, the Province's facilities will be more than equal to the
demand for milk and its growing diversity of products.
Published by THE BREWING INDUSTRY (ONTARIO)
A CORNER ON CONES
Nearly ai.1 billion poen& of milk are con-
sumed or proeeseca annually- in Ontario;
She yearly value of Ontario dairy products
runs around 8140,000,000; Ontario butter
and cheese production is Shout 200,000,000
pounds a year. The chief credit for these
fat figures, which are about one-third of
the totals for the entire Dominion, goes to
Ontario's 1,200,000 milk
• cows —themselves a third
of Canada's dairy herds.
The Province's 8,000,000
gallons of fee, cream, how-
ever, amount annually to
50iof the nation's 'sundae-
hese—which may explain the
noticeable cone -consciousness
of young Ontarians.
SECOND INSPECTION
OF LOCAL POTATOES
ABOUT TO BE MADE
Second in a series of inspections of
potatoes being grown for certified
seed in Western Ontario is about to be
made by local officials of the plant
Protection division of the Dominion
Department of Agriculture.
About 50 fields in Essex, Rent,
Elgin, Middlesex, Oxford, Brant, Nor-
folk and Huron are scheduled for a
careful check by chief Inspector F.
Hudson and his assistants. They are
looking especially for plant diseases,
but will also check on any disease -
bearing insects and indications of lack
of proper spraehing,
One thorough inspection of these
eertified seed potatoes was completed
about a week ago, according to Mr.
Hudson. The second will begin im-
mediately. On the first occasion, they
appeared "in very good condition, and
very vigorous as well," said the in-
spector. '
Besides the two field inspections,
after digging conies a "bin inspec-
tion." This is followed, after the
potatoes are graded and ready for
sale, by a "shipping inspection." This
means that farmers buying seed get
nothing but the best, as the certifi-
cation tags for the various grades are
not given out until after the final
inspection.
Export 3,000,000 Bushels
Apples to United States
Negotiations have been concluded
for the export of 1,000,000 bushels of
packed apples and 2,000,000 bushels
of processing apples to the United
States. An additional 250,000 bushels
of either grade may be shipped at
the option of the Canadian industry.
Representatives of the United
States and Canadian Agriculture De-
partments met at Toronto August 9
and 10 to discuss marketing of Can -
adieu apples in the United States
during the 1946-47 season. The pro-
gram "was arrived at after full ex-
amination of the 1946 supply and
marketing prospects of the two coun-
tries," the announcement said.
Caada's 1946 crop was estimated
at 16,000,000 bushels, equally divided
between Eastern and Western Can-
ada. The department expected do-
mestic market would absorb 7,000,000
bushels as fresh fruit and between
2,500,000 and 3,000,000 for processing
with at least 3,000,000 bushels likely
to be shipped to the United Kingdom.
