Brown, Newcastle, was elected as a Director of the Hioistein-Friesian Association of Canada at the annual meeting of that organization held Feb. 6th, in 'Toronto. Mr. Brown takes the place of John Tamblyn, Orono, who has been a dinector for 14 yvears and contributed much to the popularity and success of the Holstein breed in this district. Over 800 members, many of tthem local breeders, attended the <anual meeting. A nesolution was assed àavoring retention of the W 1 presen1WRecord of Performance >sYstem of production testing by Dominion government, provid- iwas overhauled and brought ~WUP to date. Reports of officers in- dicated that 1945 was the best year in the association's history. Registrations gained three per cent reaching a new high of 53,149. Transfers of ownership also show- ed an exceptional gain of 20 per cent for a total of 51,907, and membership gained 7 per cent to- talling 9,717. The most spectacular feature of the report was the sixfold gain shown by the Selective Registra- tion system of grading for confor- mation. This is the direct result of the association's new policy, requiring that the qam_ of any B00KIN G CANADAS OUT- STANDING TALENT for Music Clubs, Benefits, Concerts, etc., hs the lob of busy Dorothy Parnum, directar ef the North American Artists' Bureau, 96 Spadina Road.

Addressing the meeting, Dr. E. S. Archibald, Director of Experi- mental Farms said, "The Holstein breed has made more progress in recent years than any other breed of cattie in Canada, dair7y or beef. I arn a keen supporter of the Hol- stein, because she is the most pro- fitable dairy cow." Dr. Mark Welsh, leading U.S. authority ôn Bang's Disease which annually takes a toll o! millions of dollars in Canada's dairy herds said, "At present there is no one best method for controiling Bang's Disease. Many factors must be taken into consideration and this requires the experience and best judgment of the herd owner, the veterinarian and the government officiais." 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, the goal of eradicating Bang's Disease from our dairy herds will be well in sight. Federation Approves Ganaraski Project Durham County Federation met Feb. 7th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. H. Staples. There was a fair attendance and the new pres- ident presided. Business included appointing president to represent the county on the Ontario Board of Direc- tors; continuing payment of $20 per month toward cost of Na- tional Film Board's showings in schools for rest of school year. The Ganaraska project was heartily endorsed by the follow- ing resolution: The Durham County Federation of Agriculture has regarded with favor from its inception the Ganaraska Devel- opment Scheme. We believe the probable benefits to be of more than local importance and would urge steps be taken as soon as possible to have the work start- ed. We further want to assure those responsible for undertaking and carrying out this deveiop- ment of our whole-hearted co-op- eration and support." The matter of drainage and tules was left in the hands of the secretary to make full inquiries and pass the information on. It was decided to arrange a plan whereby a iystem of visitation will be set up, of forums in the county, and to encourage the for- ming of new forums, so that this work could be done early in the fall. Safeguard Register t Purebred Livestock The registration o! purebred livef stock in Canada is governed by the1 Live Stock Pedigree Act which isr administered under the authority o! the Dominion Minister o! Agri- culture. Breed associations and the Canadian National Live Stock Records are arganîzed under thet Act, with the constitution, by-laws and regulatians o! each subject ta the approval o! the Minister. Through the assistance and super- vision o! the Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, and by mea- sures adapted for the correction and -contrai af irregular practices m-d abuses, the reliability o! cer- ificates of registratian for pure- )red animais is maîntained. Ail applications for registration by members and non-members o! the breed associations operating within the Canadian National Live Stock Records are checked by the Chie! Registration Officer, wha aiso seais and signs the officiai certificates o! registration. Assis- tance is given in the establish- ment o! definite means o! identifi- cation for ail registered animais, in the promotion o! breed-type class- ification prai ects and in establish- ing adequate safeguards in res- pect ta breeding practices and reg- istrations connected with pure- bred animals produced by artifi- cial insemination.

The number of purebred animais ex- ported was 9,537. The number im- ported was 648. Brooklin Spring Fair a Nés Thriving Record 0 The annual meeting of thep B rooklin Spring Fair, held last§ week, presented an unusually sa-p tisfactory surplus of cash on handf amounting to $849.98. Treasurer t Wm. Manning reported a substan-r tial increase in gate receipts, entryt fees, grants and donations overe previous years. This also per-t mitted considerable increase inE prize money. i President John Dryden in his annual address was optimistic that the fair was due for further expansion now that it had become increasingly popular. The number of exhibitors had increased in 1945 and competition in ail classes had been keen. The first parish shows sponsored by the Jerseyt Breeders of Durham and-~Ontario Counties together with the Junior Farmers section, were well receiv- ed. He advocated adding other features for 1946. John Batty, President, Jersey Breeders, Durham and Ontario Counties, promised continued sponsorship of the Parish Show, with increased exhibits. M. Agar, Secretary, Brooklin Junior Farm- ers Association, agreed that it would continue its co-operation with added interest. It was decided to hold the 35th annual Brooklin Spring Fair this year on May 24, at Brooklin Com- munity Park and with a dance in the Township Hall, fair night. Committees were struck to solicit donations and grants and arrange for prize lists. Besides the long lists of Hon. Presidents, past presidents, direc- tors and associate directors, the executive for 1946, as elected, is as follows: President, John Dryden; lst vice, John Batty; 2nd vice, A. Grass; 3rd vice, L. Hall; secretary-treasurer, Wm. G. Manning; assistant secre- tary, C. S. Thompson. IVinaki Lodge in the Lake of the Woods district of northwestern Ontario, will be re-opened to the public on June 20. Makes Comparison Hog, Bacon Prices In the last six years, 1940 to 1945 inclusive, Canada has ship- ped ta Britain mare than three billion pounds o! bacon. In one year alone, 1943, Canada sent ta Britain mare bacon than in four entire years o! the First World War. These indications o! the magni- tude of Canada's expanded ex- ports were disclosed at the recent annual convention in London, Ont., a! the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, by L. W. Pearsail, manager o! the Meat Board. He pointed out that while the respon- %ibilities o! the Meat Board were prîrnarily ta buy and ship meat for Britain's wartirne needs and ta maintain the quality o! this meat, an important function of the Board is ta see that produe- ers receive equitable prices for their live stock. He showed how effective the Meat Board has been in protecting the producer by comparing the price received by the packer for bacon with that paid ta the hag producer. For the highest grade of bacon, Grade A Number One Sizeable Wiltshire, the Meat Board pays $6.25 at seaboard for 117 pounds, the average quantity o! bacon ob- tainable from a Grade A hag dressing 150 pounds. (Actually, a 150-pound hog averages 118 pounds o! bacon but one per cent is deducted for shrinkage during the period o! storage and trans- portation.) Farmers delivering to, Toronto Grade A hogs a! the preferred 150-paund dressed weight and re- ceiving from packers a price o! $ 17.65 per hundredweight, less deduction for insurance, net $26.- 44 per hag. With theffmarket at this level, farmers delivering ta Winnipeg receive an average re- turn a! $25.l0-the lower prîce than obtainable in Toronto being attributable ta longer freight haul ta seaboard. This means that, on the average, the packer paeys the farmer shipping ta Toronto only eleven cents less per hog than he receives for the bacon abtained !rom the hag, and operates on the slightly higher margin a! 26 cents in Winnipeg. Mr. Pearsaîl explained that this small margin -and more-the packer enhances according ta the ingenuity and efficiency he shows in marketing the hog's by-products; kidney, heart,. tangue, liver, tenderloin, head, feet, bones, fat and trirn- mings. , He claimed that on the vast quantity o! bacon exponted by the Meat Board, the producer 1has received a fairer price than 1before the Board carne inta exis- tence. These equitable hag prices have dustry; they have enabled it to establish a reputation for regular deliveries of quality bacon to Bni- tain in wartime and have paved the way for Canada's retaining a1 sizeable share of this export mar- ket in peacetime, he said. flefore the war, Britain boughtf 50 per cent o! its imported bacon from Denmark, 30 per cent from the Low Countnies and the Baltic, and 20 per cent from Canada. Be- cause o! shortage of available coarse grains, Denniark will pro- bably not resume shipments of the pre-war quantity for some time. The Low Countries and the Bal- tic countries which were the scenes of warf are will doubtless take even longer to eqcual their pre-war production. In the mean- time Canada should be eligi ble for not only its pre-war 20 per cent of the British market but of considerably more. When Brit- ain stood alone, it was Canada on whom she relied for the bulk of her bacon. During those trying years, Canada supplied not 20 per cent but an average of 75 per cent of the British bacon ration. Local Breeders Directors of Holstein And Horse Association fz rr b ei ti m IR ti 0 E fi d d il e February is the month when farmers' organizations g.enerally neet at annual conventions and banquets ta transact business, el- ect officers and shape policies for the future. Among the meetings wvhich took place last week at the R~oyal York Hotel, Toronto, were the Hoistein-Friesian Associsation of Canada and the Ontario Horse Breeders Association wîth its a!- filiated clubs. As usual, several district- farmers were elected to lirectorates in each case. At the Hoîstein-Friesian meet- ing, J. D. Brown, Newcastle, was elected a vice-president and R. Ray McLaughlin, Oshawa, was elected ta the directorate of this national organization, said ta be the largest livestock association in Canada. The retiring President, C. L. Goodhue, stated that Can- adian Holstein breeders had reach- ed an unchallenged position for superior breeding. Heavy de- mands continued from buyers in the U.S.A. and in South America. Elected ta the directorate of the Ontario Horse Breeders Associa- tion were W. F. Batty, Brooklin, and Roy Ferron of Cavan. Mr. Ferron was also elected President of "the Ontario Percheron Club. Directors of the Ontario Clydes- dale Club include Roy Hall and Cliff Haggerty, Oshawa, and John Batty, Brooklin. Speakers viewed the future as bright for pedigreed farm horses and a considerablE mnarket was presently apparent in shipments to Europe. Gospel Student spealks In Sons of England Hall -Sunday evening in the S.O. hall Mr. Palmer Robson intro- duced a powerful lecture entitled, "History's Coming Climax" by a warm welcome to the children who were present. He said he believes in a Christ whom the children loved. "Christianity is a young people's religion, and makes even the old people young in heart." "Christ left the courts of glory to make it possible for sinful human beings to be saved. He is coming again to make that sal- vation actual." Luther, Calvin, Knox, Wesley, John Milton, and Moody have in turn echoed their confidence in the fact that Jesus will return to this earth. Con- cerning the Second Coming of Christ, Moody said, "The church has very little to say about it. The devil does not want us to see this truth, for nothing would wake up the church so much." In a startling picture the speak- er saw that while souls are daily going over the precipFce into the iabyss of Christless graves, many 1professed followers of the Saviour of men are idly "making daisy chains" instead of winning souls from sin to a hope in God. He climaxed his message by referr- îng to one of the saddest facts of the gospel-that many people do not want Christ-to return, because Bthey' love the things of this worlcl 1more than they love the great rgift of eternal life which Chris' offers to ail. Next Sunday night the question will be answered, "Will Christ eCorne in Our Day?"_____ Farm forums NO. 4 WEST FORUM No. 4 West Farm Forum met at W. Bickle's. Topic was "«can we keep up the present rate of con- sumption of farm products?" Wq find that farm prosperity is closelyý linked with good pay cheques of industrial workers, and are ail for stability of employment. ,We dislike strikes and think that there should be a greater ob- servance of the "Golden Rule" in industrial relations. Unemployment insurance is a good thing but would be better if persons were allowed to do odd jobs such as helping a farmer whAhe needs it, while stiil col- lecting insurance benefits. Opinion was pretty evenly di- vided regarding famnily allowan- ces. We favor the new proposal ne- garding Old Age Pensions. It would do away with' a lot of red tape and those who received it and did not need it would pay it back in income tax. Ail these schemes put more mo- ney into circulation thenefore more purchasing power which is the prime necessity in keeping up food consumption. Number pres- ent, 14. NEWCASTLE FARM FORUM We met this week at Austin Turner's with about 24 present. In the discussion some doubt was expressed as ta the veracity of the staternent that family incarne is the most important factor in de- termining the quantity and quai- ity o! the household diet. It was believed that education was need- ed re most nutritional foods and best methods of preparing them. We were agreed that good wages and stability of employ- ment would be a help in increas- ing food consumption in Can- ada. If farm prices were stabilizezl and farrn¶ng put on a level with other types o! work the same im- proved condition could be brought about. We believe unemplayment in- surance and family allowances are beneficial too, but feit that these privileges are sometimes abused. We meet at Hanry Jose's next week. NO. 4, EAST FORUM Twenty-one members gathered at H. F. Osborne's to discuss "Can wre maintain our present consuntp- tion o! farm products?". We dis- cussed the struggle o! industrial workers for good wages and sta- bility a! employment, unemploy- ment insurance, family allow- ances and old age pensions. We believe that f arm prasperity de- pends on a reasonably good in- comé and stable employment for industrial workers. Therefore we are in sympathy with the work- ers' aims. We alsa believe that full ernployment for the workers depends on a reasonably high and stable farn income. We re- gret the apparent necessity for labor to strike ta improve the lot o! the working man. It is espe- cially negretable at the pnesent time when full production is need- ed. Unemployment insurance, family allowances, and old age pensions help to increase the pub- lic's purchasing power. The in- creased ability ta buy benefits the producers o! food. From this standpoint and for other reasons we favor these sources o! in- corne. Meeting Feb. 11 at Keith Ormiston's.
