All eyes in the dstrying world -were on Vercheres. Quebec, on April 25th when the snnoun emerit was made that a purebr Hol- stein cow had established an of- ficial world record for not day production of butterfat over all ages and breeds on three times-a- day milking. The cow was approp- riately named Triumph (her reg- istered name is Sp. LICEIIBIIVI: Farm Triumph) end her production is given as.l,3d6 lbs. butterfat from 31,878 lbs. milk average butterfat test (.28 per cent. An official rec- ord is one when the milk is weigh- ed'at each milking. The Dominion Department of Agriculture super- vised the of this record.

Triumph y accepted the ad- ulation heaped on her by leading Agricultural figures but basking in her reflected glory were three men. her owner, 1-LL. Guiibert. Ver- oheus, Que., her breeder. SJ. Hammond, St. Paul's station, Out. and herdsrnan Claude Archean- beault. The latter fed and cared for the champion while she was making her record-breaking and, in this age of machine milked cows. provided the exception by milking her entirely by hand.

Not only is Triumph a champion producer but she is one of the leading glamour girls of the Can- adian show-ring, her qualities of bovine beauty having twice given her the distinction of being made Grand Champion at the Quebec Provincial Exhibition. She has been offlciauy classified as Excellent. a designation for symmetry of form that has been given to only a few H '4 ' in the Dominion.

Weed control In canning Pm

(lbrperiinerital Plan News) ..... The control of weeds in cannirg peas has long been a serious prob- lem. A heavy weed population in a field of peas will bring about a lowered total vield due to compet- ition for moisture. plant food. space and light. Indirectly it will cause a lowering in quality of the canned product, since weed in- fested peas require a longer time for harvesting and processing, says" I... H. Lyall. Division of Horticul- ture Centrel Experimental farm, Ottawa. The growth habit of the pea vine, and the areas involved. make hand weeding far too ex- pensive a method of weed control. For these reasons an efficient and J '.y inexpensive herbicide should be of considerable value to growers of canning peas. Both weeds and crop plants may vary a great deal in their reaction to treatment with ”emicals, ac- cording to their stage of growth. climate conditions. and other environmental factors. Thus recom- mendetions for chemical weed con- trol must necessarily be made with regard to specific conditions and should be based on local experience. The fact which is of prime import- ance for the efficient use of most herbicides is that the weed plants must be quite small at the time of application. Herbicides may be applied to peas elthei as post-emergence treatments made after the peas have emerged from the ground, or as pre-emergence treatments ap- plied alter the seed is sown but before the plants have emerged. Post-emergence treatments which have shown some promise for use on canning peas of two types. the "dinitro compounds" such as sine): and Dow Selective Weed Killer and the calcium cyanamide prear- ations such ns Aero Defoliant Chemical Dust (Cyanamid). The "dinitro compounds" are ap- plied as sprays, usually at rates of '10 to 80 gallons per acre. However the strenth of the solution and the rate of application will depend upon the specifications of the man- ufacturer, and these specifications should be adhered to very closely. There have been varied results with this type of weed killer and care must be exercised in their use. Pea plants should not be more than 3 to 4 inches tall at time of spraying and even then a certain amount of foliage injury may result. In general the best results, with the least injury to the pea plants, will be obtained if sprayirg is done when the plants are dry but when the uumfdity of the at- mosphere is high and rainfall is is not likely to occur for se eral hours after spraying. . Aero Defo'innt Chemical Dust lcyanamid), as the name implies is applied in dust form to the peas after emergence It will give control of broad-leafed annual weeds if applied when tne weeds we reach- ing tlic foiir leaf stage. The peas may show some (slight injury but yield does not appear to be affected adversely. The herbicide should be applied when 'the leaves of the weeds are wet with dew, otheiwl-e it may be lartely ineffective. The rate of application should be 75 to .30 Pounds per acre. Pre-emergenm treatments offer a good possibility for control of weeds in canning peas without producing any injury to the pea plants. In Eastern Ontario and in Nova Scotia, Calcium cyanami”e has been used with some success for this purpose The granular type has been used because of its ease of application. It can be aprlied with a common fertiliser distributor and does not clog vp the machin- ery. Rates of 100 to .150 pounds per acre have given Rood weed control and in some cases have resulted in increased yields of pres. For this material to give consistent- ly good weed c ntrol a definite procedure must e followed. The land must be prepared for planting and then allowed to stand for 4 to 5 days before the peas are sown. Then 4 or 5 days after sowing, when the peas are just beginning to break their seed coats, the calci- um cyanamide should be a pliei over the who'e area. This waiting period of 3 to in days from prepar- tion of the ia.'ld until application of the weed killer will slow most of the weed seeds in the surface layer of the soil to grrminate. Under suitable conditions these will then be killed by the herbi- cide. The killinv action of granular cyanamld takes place within the first 3 days after application and is

or-rawa. April 30 - 4-W” has exportod dry whole milk W about so different countries in 1940, but foreign markets are beirli restricted now by exchlnv 9105' lems. This is one of the. reasons why, after a very rapid CXDIIWOH during tho war, the concentrated milk industry is suffering from so- cailed igrowlng pains' and son. aujustme its of necessity have been and are taking place". D. B. Good- willie. Chief of Dairy Product! Grading and Inspection servic es, federal Department of Agriculture, said at the annual meeting of Quebec Dairy Technicians Assoc- iation, at St. Hyaclnthe, Que. p "There are two factors which, if continued, will have a serious ef- fect on the development and pros- perity of the concentrated milk in- dustry," added the speaker. "some manufacturers and dealers hive sold goods in certain markets which were not in accordance withihe official grades. This practice not only has done the seller harm. but has undermined the reputation of our products in these markets. If the manufacturer deliberately tr.es tc mislead the government's gru- oer, he is simply fooling himself-' a practice which usually proves ex- pensive in lost markets as well as in other ways.

"Another point which should be kept in mind is that packages used for the sale of goods should be at- trsctive, clean, neatly and corre.-I.- i ly branded. There is little to be gained in producing a high qus.i.ly product if it, in turn. is placed in a cheap, dirty. poorly and inu.i rectiy branded package."

Mr. Goodwillie had previously stated that the domestic use of er- aporated milk was approximately double what it was ten years ago and that it was still increasinz one reason. he said, for this du- velopment was that a hlzh quality product has been produced and sold. sweetened condensed milk was affected by the exchange problems to a greater extent than others, owing to the fact that over 60 per cent of Canada's produc- tion was exported.

According to the Chief of Dairy Products Inspection and Grading, ' Canada is developing a good trade in dry skim milk, "a trade which . promises to expand, providing we ” can produce high quality goods of a type required by the user". About casein which is manufactured to a larger extent in Quebec than in any other province, he said: "Prob- ably the greatest problem in con- nection with the manufacture of this product is uniformity. A num- ber of buyers have refused Cali- adian casein on account of this defect."
