Dairy Production in Ontario
Cheese production in Ontario shows
a large increase, both for the month
of March and for the first three
months, as compared with the same
Periods last year, while production of
creamery butter shows a slight de-
cline, 50001 ding to the monthly dairy
report of the Ontario Department of
Agriculture.
Stocks of creamery butter in 'On-
tario at April 1st, showed a consider-
able decrease from the previous
month, but were still math larger
than on April 1st, 1939. In warehouses
in the City of Toronto butter on hand
totalled 2,688,894 pounds on April lst,
1940. as compared with 33,051,2183
pounds at March 1st, 1940, and 819,-
921
19;921 pounds 011 April 1st, 1939, Dairy
factories throughout the province re-
ported 1,813,777 pounds of creamery
butter in their plants on April 1st
this season as against 2,258,364
pounds a mortis earlier, and 1,369,630
pounds on April 1st, 1939.
The price of butter averaged slight-
ly higher during March than in the
preceding mouth, while cheese prices
declined slightly. The average whole-
sale price of creamery butter at Tar-
anto rose from 26.9c per pound in
February to 27.7e in March, while the
price of cheese averaged 19.3c per
pound in February and 18,3 cents in
Nlareh. During the past two weeks
cheese prices have fallen rapidly and
011 April 5111, the Toronto wholesale
quotation was 1411'4 cents per pound.
This compares with 11 cents on the
Sadie date- a year ago.
Exports of dairy products in Feb-
ruary showed a large change from a
year ago. Large sales of butter were
made to the United Kingdom a year
ago in an effort to reduce surplus
stocks in this country, but since the
outbreak of war shipments to the
United Kingdom have been practical-
ly nils Exports of cheese over a year
ago are due entirely to increased
shipments to Great Britain.
The following anecdote is told by
the principal of a public school.
"One day at school I gave a bright
boy a sunk in arithmetic, and al-
though comparatively easy, he
couldn't • do it. 'You ought to be
ashamed of yourself,' I remarked,
'At your age George Washington was
10 surveyor]' " -
The boy looked me straight in the
eyes. " 'Yes, sir,' he replied, 'and at
your age he was president of the
United States!"
Mother --"After all., he's only a
boy, ami boys will sow their wild
oats,"
Father -"Yes, but I wouldn't mind
if he didn't uric se muds rye with it"
