birmingham than at any time since canada had taken part in the fair especially noticeable they said was the number of inquiries from continental buyers practically every countr in europe placing contracts many of them of substantial value nearly 500000 has been spent by home and continental buyers on dolls alone for instance thereby trans- j ferring to the empire a market hitherto largely enjoyed by japan canada made inroads in the italian market here for tomatoes and maca roni record orders for tomato juice being placed by countries which hitherto bought largely through rom there is

77000000 bridge between san francisco and oakland di rector of public works kelly said recently and its sister bridge the 35000000 golden gate structure sets in motion the tidal wave of public interest in california which is to produce a tremendous exposi tion on a specially made island in san francisco bay in 1938 the en tire west is tributary to these great bridges and california is the spe cial beneficiary the engineering wonders of these two recordbreaking structures have turned the eyes of the world on america on california and on san francisco bay just as boulder dam has turned

children came and it helped to alleviate many discomforts i also used it during change cl life and it helped mc equally as much buy iow- at drug store if minto were in d umurkr this is a foolish sort of discussion for the proposal is in no sense possible just as east is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet so i suppose danes are danes and minto- nians are mlntonians and though first cousins each will go his own way j tin re is much thai tley can learn from us and there is much that wo can learn from them in cooperation and education they lead the world it i is with respect to these two matters j that ontario farmers can learn most from denmark first with regard to dairy interests according to the 1931 dominion cen sus the total value of mintos milk products including home made but ter in 1930 was 118494 even at depressed prices this average of 200 for each farm or on a basis of six cows to a farm which is just a guess per cow allowing 100 as an average price for 100 lbs of milk this would indicate the average milk- yield to be 3300 lbs possibly it should be 4000 lbs or more 1 cannot get fi gures anywhere on the matter if minto were in denmark and spe cializing in butter and hogs as all the farmers there do the average milk yield per cow would be h000 lbs ev ery cow would be under yearround test and just as soon as it was seen that stie was unprofitable the anim al would be fatted for slaughter and sold all the cows in the township would be of the dualpurpose red da nish breed a somewhat smaller ani mal than our shorthorns for every 21 farms there would be a specially trained control employee as they call their cowtesting officials once in every three weeks this man or woman would spend the day at the farm weighing and testing the milk of each cow and calculating the rations to be fed these experts are locally employed at a moderate wage they are not government officials the danes do things for themselves they do not lean on the government this may seem to be an expensive undertaking bur it is not as costly as its neglect as danish experience proves since 1ss2 when cooperative buttermaking commenced in den mark and cooperative cheesemaking throughout ontario the danish far mers by cooperative milktesting and cooperative herd improvement have more than doubled the average milk- yield per cow nearly trebled the but ter production per cow and reduced the amount of milk required to make a pound of butter from 30 lbs to 23g lbs in the same 50year period by improvements of pasturage and field crops they have doubled the number of cows kept on the same area all this by cooperation and the practical acceptance of scientific teaching made possible in my opinion by their sens ible scheme of education minto might have done likewise it is not a lack of knowledge wherein we have failed only lack of wisdom if minto were in denmark i fancy ihe cooperative cheese factory in which i worked part of one season under the late murdock morrison would not have gone out of existence and the other cooperative enterprizes such as the grange the patrons of industry the pork factory and the ufo marketing schemes would like ly have grown in strength to embrace every farmer in the township instead of petering out in failures and leav ing the minto farmers today each in dividual for himself and the devil taking the hindmost there is some thing wrong somewhere i think it is education the cooperation would not be con fined within the township boundar ies if minto were in denmark minto farmers would be united with the far mer cooperatives in the other 570 ontario townships in denmark in 1932 their 13ss cooperative butter factories represented 1s0000 farmers 90 per cent 80 per cent of the cows and had a turnover of 110000- 000 all these factories marketed the butter cooperatively in a wholesale way and under a strict quality brand cooperation permeates every phaso of their business and life the

space for only a few words about education if minto were in denmark one third of the young far mers between tho ages of eighteen and twentyfive would be away at folk high school for the five winter months each year and in the summer these schools would be attended by the young farm women if their means were not sufficient they would be provided with scholarships paid in part by the township and
