(NOT-This is the fifth in a series of comments by well- known authorities, written expressly for the Weekly Press of Ontario.) Last year, Ontario's cheese out- put was over 178 million pounds, an increase of 49 per cent over the five yeam average priar ta the war During the same period 131 million pounds were exported ta the United Kingdom. It is large- ly because of its position in the export market that cheese com- mands s0 much attention in Cana- dian Agricultural paicy. In periods of favorable prices for cheese and other farm pro- ducts it is well ta give careful study and considemation ta the future. It is beyond our reach ta accurately anticipate what the post-wam period may bing. We know that prices which we now enjoy are induced by war de- mands. It is theref are quite natural ta expect tbat when the war is over and normal demands are resumed many of the price advantages we now enjoy wîll, of necessity, adjust themselves ta lower levels It was generally recognized, while negctiations e- garding the cheese contracts were under way between the British Ministry of Food and the repre- sentatives of the Canadian Gov- ernment while twenty-cent cheese was passible duing the war it cauld scarcely be considered as a post-war price. However, it is not necessary that the future be viewed with alarm but rather fromh the standpoint of exploring possible trends and challenges. The impact of war is bound to create changed conditions, and these conditions-the aftermath of war-may be expected ta be dif- ferent froôm those which prevailed in pmewam times or during the pemiod of the war itself. In order that the cheese producer may suc- cessfully meet the demands and uncertainties of the post-war per- iod, a policy of conservation of financial resources now, when farm income is at a high level. would seem ta provide the best assurance for the future adjust- ment pemiod. The temptation ta spend in keeping with increased earning power in the purchase o! non-essentials should be avoided as far as possible Funds thus preserved will be available later for bath farm and cheese factory equipment which is likely to un- dergo considerable improvement in design, wearing quality and cost. Reserves of savings accumu- lated thmough the purchase of Victory Bonds anif bank savings will enable dairymen flot only ta withstand loss of markets or de- cime in prices, should such occur, but also ta make possible carry- ing through such post-war plans as may be deemed necessary in the best interests of the industry. Let us recall that for the past five years of war the cheese in- dustry bas enjoyed a noncampeti- tive market for all surplus cheese supplies. With the termination of war and the resumption of normal international trade, competition in markets is certain and with it quality will become the deciding factor Ta assure the quality of cheese, high quality in milk sup- plies will be necessary. This in- volves the possible improvement and modification of many stables in which milk is produced and also, the. acquisition of modemn milk-cooling facilities on many farms. Undoubtedly the funda- mental cause of much of aur sec- ond-rate and mediocre cheese is traceable ta inferior milk supplies. It will be better in the future to pravide the facilities and equip- ment necessary ta assure higb quality of product even at the expense of quantity. These im- provements should not be at- tempted now because of shortage of labor and matemials. The fu- ture need of these improvements is anc of the essential reasons for conserving finances at the present time. Among other consider&tions ta which the cheese milk producer should give study immediately is the cost of praducing milk fromn bis own bemd. Not anly will the industry be confronted with com- petition in cheese quality, but price and cost of production also will be a vital factor in the future. One of the most important ways ta reduce the cost of milk produc- tion will be ta improve the average per cow. There is no doubt that among aur cheese- pmoducing herds of Ontario may be found many individual cows and even herds which, at prob- able post-war prices for milk, would pay their maintenance, not ta mention profits ta their ownem. To establish these herds upon a paying basis at lowem price levels r for cheese will require drastic culling of low-production cows. This will entail a policy of herd improvement which will involve the keeping of milk and fat pro- duction records, followed by ju- dicious selection of good cows for replacements. The acquisition of bulls of proven ancestry and the possible introduction of additional females into the herd where necessary will of course require the investment of capital which should be provided for post-war plans. From the standpoint of cheese- manufacturing costs there is little doubt of the existence of too many small, poorly-equipped factories in Ontarjo-factories in which the present cheese tonnage output is too small to permit employing sufficient trained personnel to manufacture cheese economically. Many of these factories have been carrying on year after year with old equipment which has reached a poor state of repair and is flot conducive to high quality cheese. Future demands will undoubtedly make necessary a recognition on the part of cheese producers and factory owners of the need for improved manufacturing facili- ties. In many instances the amalgamation of two or more ex- isting factories may offer a solu- tion. In such cases, a new build- ing fully equipped with modern vats, cheese presses and curing rooms could -be provided, for which the cqj can be partly sub- sidized by the govemnment. The remaining 50 per cent of the cost might be provided from a reserve established for this purpose, facil- itated by authorizing that deduc- tions be made from milk pay- ments now when prices are most favorable. The aggregate of funds thus collected might be invested in Victory Bonds, in which form funds would be readily available at a future time when needed. The main point to keep in mind is that careful consideration and planning in advance will be neces- sary if cheese producers are ta secure the greatest benefits from the present improvement in their financial position. MR. AND MRS. LEONARD RICHARDS CELEBRATE 2Oth WEDDING ANNIVERSARY On September 5th a very pleas- ant evening was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Munday, Maple Grove, when 60 relatives gathered to honor Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Richards on their 20th wedding anniversary. When all had assembled, Mr. W. H. Yeo called the gathering to order and Mrs. T. G. Norton of Locust Hill read a congratulatory address to the bride and groom of 20 years and wished them many more years of happiness. At the pro- per time, the bride's brother, Mr. Nelson Wilkins, made the presen- tation of a gift of money. Later Master Ray Wilkins brought in a lovely basket of 20 red roses as bis special . gift to Aunt Laila and Uncle Len. Although completely surprised ,the groom responded to the address and also expressed ap- preciation of the gift and the kindly thoughts which accom- panied it. The bride added her thanks for the gifts and also for Ray's roses which were exactly like her bouquet of 20 years ago. A few short speeches and games followed. The dining room was beautiful- ly decorated witb gladioli and streamers and the table was centred with a three-tier wedding cake, made and decorated by Mrs. Bert Colwell. A dainty lunch was served by several young ladies, cousins of the bride.

THE ROAD 0F LIFE The easy roads are crowded; And the level roads are jammed; The pleasant little rivers With drifting folks are crammed. But off yonder where it's rocky, Where you get a better view, You will find the ranks are thin- ning And the travellers are few. Wbere the going's smootb and pleasant You will always find the throng, For the rftany, more's the pity, Seem to ike to drift along. But the steps thatI cali for courage, And the task that's hard to do, In the end results in glory For the never-wavering few. -The War Cry. HAPPINESS A BY-PRODUCT Happiness is a by-product. We can't buy it, because it bas no price. Some people try to purchase happiness by getting d r u n k; others build fine bouses, and some travel around the world. But the goal is as elusive as the horizon. The main issue in life is service, and happîness is incidental to ser- vice. To try ta win happiness from the wprld without serving the world ig like trying ta distil gasoline from water instead of from crude oil. It can't be done. The contractor who erects an honest, substantial building wins happiness. The statesman wbo forwards LIVESTOCK JUNIOR FARMERS CALF CLUB CONTEST AMATEUR SHOW NEEDLECRAFT JUNIOR DEPT.'
