Town Very Forsumate of The mayor said "the own Whitby is very fortunate in being among tlie few municipalities which can boast of having the facilities of the two main lines of the Canadian railroad systems, location on the Queen Elizabeth and other impor- tant highways, the potentialities of a great harbour, power to excess, plenty of water and above all a people who have their roots deep in the soil, determined that their ide in their home town may not Sh in vain."

The new assessment pro- vided by last year's operations has netted an increase of $330, while the 1047 operations should provide an additional amount to bring a total new assessment to $600,000 which at the present mill rate of 34 mills would provide an addition. al annual revenue of $20,000." The mayor continued saying that "it is possible by a normal $700,000 new assessment to carry these anti- cipated heavy expenditures without any material increase in the mill rate."

BROOKLIN, ONTARIO FIR ET LT HI HTT HRT Feed Cost of Milk Production There are many factors that in- fluence the feed cost of milk pro- duction, such as the inherent pro- ducing ability of the individual cow or herd; kind and quality of feed supplied;.the length of the pasture - | season, and the quality of the pas- turage, Seasonal conditions influ- ence the quality of the roughage very materially and without good quality hay, succulent pasture, it is very difficult to maintain produc- tion, says Dr. 8. A. Hilton of the Dominion Experimental Farm, Nap- pan, N. S., where feed cost records on their herd of Guernseys and Jerseys have been kept over a per- iod of years. It is only by using rong time averages that any fair es- timate of the feed requirements per 100 pounds of milk can be arrived at, says Dr. Hilton, From 1932 to 1945 inclusive, in- formation was compiled on the monthly fesd requirements per 100 pounds of milk produced in these herds, The yearly average size of the herd was 37.2 cows, the average percentage of butterfat in the milk was 5.11 and the average yearly production was 306 pounds butter fat. Feed consumption of both producing and dry cows was charg- against the herd, The pasture sea- son averaged 130 days. The average feed consumption per 100 pounds of milk produced was as follows: Grain, 28 pounds; hay, 48 pounds; succulent feed, (roots, silage, green feed), 144 pounds; pasture, 2.068 days. On the basis of the cost of pro- duction of these weeds over this period, the average yearly feed cost was $1.12 and ranged from an ave erage of 88 cents from June to Oc- tober to 141 from November to May. The average value of pasture per day, when compared with stable feeding, was the equivalent of 6 pounds grain, 14 pounds hay and 25 pounds succulent feed. On the bas- is of stable feeding, therefore, the average feed requiremnts pr 100 pounds of milk would be 40.4 pounds pounds succulent feed, Bearing in mind that these figures are aver- ages for a period covering both good and poor crop years and re- Present the feed consumption of a arge number of individual cows, the application of local prices should result in a fair estimate of the feed cost of producing 100 pounds of 5 per cent milk in any given area.
