THE OAKVILLE-RECORD-STAR | ne ee _ Page Seven _ News Items Of interest For Halton Farmers A well attended meeting in the interest of dairy herd improve- ment work was held in the Court House, Milton, on Friday last. Clifotd Morrow, fieldman w the Ontario Livestock Branch, Tor- onto, was the guest speaker. Since . the D. H, L A. policy came into effect on May ist-of last year, 29 groups with a membership of 725 pad been organized on January ist of this year. This represents some 10,000 cows which are now en- rolled in D. H. L A. work in On- tario, The only other form of cow testing work in Ontario is that provided in Record of Perform’ ance work by the Dominion Gov- ernment for pure bred cattle. Not- withstanding the fact that there are 11,112 pure bred dairy herds in Ontario, and despite the fact that R.O.P. work has been avail- able for many many years, only 1.600 pure bred herds in Ontario are engaged in R.0.P. work. Definite Need D.H.LA. work is of course for grades and mixed herds and the growth since its inception less than a year ago-is gratifying to say the least. That there-is-a very cow testing work is born»out by the partial summary made on one group organized in Eastern On- tario. In the seven month period Summarized, the average produc- tion of the 202 cows in the group was only 5992 lbs, of milk and 205 Ibs, of fat. The highest herd in the group averaged 8585 Ibs, milk and 286 lbs. fat while the lowest herd averaged 4714 Ibs. milk and 163 lbs. fat, Those figures should provide food for thought. If those figures are represent-- ative of many of the group’ Or- ganized throughout the province, no wonder some dairymen state they are losing money producing milk at present prices. We are going to be both surprised and dis- appointed if the Halton groups do not present a much better pic- ture when the figures become av- ailable. Nevertheless we are wil- ling to wager that even in Halton we-are going to—find- we-have a good many boarder cows which would be more profitable to mar- ket for beef, than can be realized from them as milk producers. That-D. H. I. A. work brings results is born out by data on D. H. I. work in United States.

S: back in 1906, the average pro- duction the first year was 215 lbs. butterfat per cow, In 1947 the av- erage of the 775,546 association cows in U. S. was 348 Ibs. of ‘fat. Third Group Since May Ist, Halton has had 52 herds enrolled in D. H.-L A, work and is gratifying to learn that all herd owners are delighted with the service and wish to ton- tinue under the policy. A third group of 26 owners will get under- way on May Ist, which will give Halton the largest number of groups organized in Ontario to date, At the meeting held on Fri-|< day last the three groups appoint- ed their officers for the coming twelve months. The officers elect- edi were as follows: Group 1 — Supervisor, Frank W. Chisholm; President, Edwin Harrop, Milton; Viee-Pres,, R. L. Davidson, Acton. Group 2 — Supervisor, Geo. R. McCormack; President Frank Rinehart, Campbellville; Vice-Pres., J. R. McPhail, Campbellville. Group 3 — Supervisor, to be ap- pointed; President, Howard Arm- strong, Milton; Vice-Pres., Ernest Pell, Milton. Applebites| : As I sit here trying to recall events of interest around the school this last week, I am plagued by a million thoughts. These lit- tle echoing voices all seem to be shouting together, undoubtedly trying to drown each other out. All I can make out of this jumbled mass are a few words such as “Imperfect Subjunctive,” “Remain- der Theorem,” ~ “Confederation 1867,"" “Hannibal at the Alps” and many others of equally painful The Easter exams are most assuredly on and it is in ev- idence everywhere. There are a group of boys in the hallways comparing answers to papers already written, some tearing their hair and others smil- ing contentedly. In every quiet corner and nook one can find schol- ars frantically endeavouring to cram every last date and fact of importance into their heads be- fore being called upon te--write the exam, It is truly an encourag- ing sight to see so many youths | so industriously occupied, Earlier in the week, Tuesday to be exact, before this period of Ex- eminations began, the Cadet Corps paraded in full uniform for the first time this vear. There are only a few weeks left till » jnspec- tion and every effort is being made to make the Corps smarter than it has ever been before. Apart from the activities afor- mentioned, there has been nothing of special interest occurring around school of late. No, there was something else. “Interrupted Journey” —-was—shown,—and—was greatly appreciated by all the boys. Due to the unfayourable weather conditions there were no athletics. Soon exams will be over and we can all settle down to two weeks of hard loafing. They begin on Thursday the sixth of April. Fred Vokes W.M.S. Enjoys Easter Service At the Thank Offering meeting of the Evening Auxiliary of St. John’s United Church, last Mon- day, a special Easter service en- titled “He Is Risen" was held.
