soil cover {thich retains life-giving moisture and prevents
erosion. The extensive fields given to grain and other crops for
cattle feeds have an invaluable place in crop rotations
that help to conserve fertility, The manure produced by the
cattle returns a vast quantity of organic matter to the land—
anincalculable contribution to soil fertility,
Dairy cows are kept on 73 per cent of Canada's farms, In
supplying the nation's needs of dairy foods, they provide
income For one of every six Canadians. Thus, our dairy
cattle are important both as producers of vital foods and
conservators of our natural resources.

The New CO -01? Pasture Ration supplements
the pasture feeding of dairy cows in prodc
tion. Lush spring pasture provides bulk and
protein but does not supply sufficient energy
to maintain body weight and maximum pro-
duction.
It's the extra energy in CO.OP Pasture Ration that enables
you to get the most from your pasture and from your herd at
the time when production is cheapest and later when pastures
are drier.
The Co-op can also use. your grain to give you this ration.
Discuss this Pasture Program with your local Co-op.

Huron County is recognized
as an important centre of the
dairy industry. As a result,
there is particular significance
attached to the annual June
Dairy Month program. That is
why several pages of this issue
are devoted to telling the story
of the dairy farmer.
Each section of Canadian
dairy industry has special 'hopes
for the great festival which is
known from coast7to-coast . as
June is Dairy Month. Dairy
farmers and their organizations,
among other things, hope that
urban people may deprive. new
understanding of the problems
which beset producers, proces-
sors, manufacturers and distri-
butors of dairy goods.
For their part dairy farmers
might hope that as urban peo-
ple drive 'along country roads

Mrs. Frank Hunt.
they give some thought to the
qualities of management which
go into -making a dairy farm a
successful operation.
Once the dairy. farmer is set
up with his livestock and equip-
ment he can go broke quickly
unless he is a good manager.
Indeed, the successful farmer
must be "financier and laborer,
planner and caretaker, produc-
er and marketer, diagnostician
and nursemaid, student and ex-
perimenter." Essentially he
must have a good working
knowledge of breeding and.
feeding, of seeding and fertil-
ization, of machine operation,
machine repair, pest control
and weed eradication. Above
all, he must know how to cope
with the weather in relation to
his management problems for
few occupations in the world
are so subject to' the whims of
the weather as in farming.
Management of a dairy (farm
is complex indeed and the man
who makes -a success of dairy-
ing probably would be a suc-
cessful administrator wherever
he might be. Any farmer is
continuously ' making decisions
on hundreds of matters which
range from the broad policies
of the organization'of the farm
to the intricate details of day-
to-day operation. Some of his'
major decisions will be con-
cened with what crops t� pro-
duce and how much to produce;
how to market each; what
kinds, grades and quantities of
materials to use in his produc-
tion operation; where to buy
them;- and how to time the sea-
sonal pattern of activities. Na-
turally he must decide how
many cows to keep • herd
and which ind' t uals; what
quantities 'of th various .sorts
of roughages and concentrates
to feed them; how much of the
roughage to produce on the
farm; what crop rotation and
fertilization practices to follow;
how to store roughage for win-
ter feeding; whether to raise or
purchase replacement ariimals
and plan •the seasonal pattern
of breeding . and freshening
dates for the , herd.
