(icllcral Observations

If \-.'e view production figures as they are at present in this pro- vince, ave readily arrive at the conclusion that we are in reverse llS {or us llairying is concerned. 'l‘zil<.illi1 a more general view, svc find lllC‘ whole Dominion of Can- ada in the same position. The pro- duction of butter in Canada de- creased 25,060,152 pounds in 1946 bclow that of tho previous year which is about 8.48 per cent. This dccrvasc llzls hocn shown in every pYOVlllPO ililnnst cvcry molllll. This 8.48 per cent rcprcscnls two and oils-half limes as much butter than is importcll from New Zcaland at the present time. 'l‘hi.< importation is being mmic when the Canadian consumer is laboring under a six ouilcc ration per week. The spon~ sors of the Oleomargarine Bill are again at "work in Ottawa and we have no assurance that they will

,tlon ls unhealthy both from

i

llot eventually succeed. The situa- the produccr and consumer standpoint, and since dairyillg is most import- ant to agriculture, tile whole struc- ture would appear affected. It is true we are exporting large quan- titles oi.‘ checse and evaporated milk tn thc.l3riiish Miniyry of Food which is of course a good policy and possibly the only way

v milk products can be exported, but

production has come to such a stage in Canada as to be thinking

lion. The prizes were awarded as t‘

Third prize, Herb lllulligan, Kili- kora.

Twenty dollars in prize money donated by C. Richardson and Company, St. Marys, Ontario, to the chccscmakcrs having the best kept cheese factories.

First prize, Joseph McEachern. Dllnstafinage.

Second prize, Joseph Mclnnis, Grand River.

Third Prize, Martin Brennan, Tyne Valley.

Special prize $10.00 donated by the Dairymens Association to the buttermaker having the highest percentage of 93 score .but'\\" awarded to Johnson Bros, Dun\ River. Special prize of $10.00 do- nated by J. D. Frier, Amherst, to the checscmaker having the high- est percentage of’ 93 score cheese, awarded to Reggie Smith, East River.

We appreciate very much the generous contribution to prize money madc by J. D. Frier, Am- herst, Nova Scotia and by C. Rich- ardson and Company, St. Mary's, Ontario. Mr. Frier is keenly inter- csted in dairying here, and was in- strumental in obtaining this very generous donation from the com- pany which he represents.

To those managers and makers who did not win a prize but who nevertheless did a good job throughout the entire ear, we offer our sincere apprec ation and hope that another year of good service will find them at the top in some category.

For their assistance and k’ " ss a sincere expression of gratitude l5 given to every member of the Department of Agriculture with whom I worked during i948, to the president and olllccrs of the Dairymen’s Association, and to the managers and assistants of the cheese, butter and dairy plants throughout the province.

The president reported that she

said that more uniformity and fewer breeds among sheep would be advantageous; he deplored the general practice of s large number

of sheep breeders in the province ‘of Quebec, who for breeding "ur-f -poses pick out a ram lamb at the‘. [local shipping cclitrc on loading day sometime ln October, they re- ceive this la.mb o loan from tile drover; ietumingllt to him in De- cember or January; some drovevs -have as many as 300 out on loan ‘each year.
