PAM M - TM CANADUAS UTATESMAN, SOWMANVfl.EONTAMZ Big Year for Hoisteins Annuel Meeting ToNd A year of unpr.cedented progrel8 was revaewed when the big Holstein - Friesian As- sociation annual meeting got underway in Toronto recentlY. The last year had been a record one. There are now 12,917 mem- bers, 9,602 of them in Ontario. Registrations last year were issued to 79,100 animais, an- other record., aud a five iper- -Scnt gain over the previaus year. Just half of ail animais registered had been artificially bred. There were 61,009 trans- fers, an increase of slightly over five percent and 19,361 were te U.S. buyers. Fourteen. countries puirchased Canadian Hols teins.1 Honor Breeders A total of 50,475 Hoisteins complieed ROP tests and 125 more breeders used selective registration service. Altogether 2792 breeders with 25,074 head had herds classified. Jameýs T. Brown, of New- castle, presided over the big meeting and S. Panneton of Three Rivers, Que., was later elected the 1959 president. Elec- tions resulted in only two chan- ges; Sam Rathwail of Navan replaced A. L. Leadbetter of Seeley's Bay as one of the East- ern Ontario directors and James A. McCague of Afliston replac- ed retiring president James Brown. Two well known Ottawa area breeders were among or.ly five who received Master Breeder awards. They were Sam W. Rathwe!l of Navan and Nor- mian Paul of Almonte. Both re- ceived their plaques from Scott Meyer of Missouri president -if the Holstein Association of Arn- erica. The others were ]Jickie Brothe±rs of Truro, N.S., Romeo Sedillot of St. Mathieu de Le- prairie, Que., and Albert E. Wedrick, o! Nanticoke, Ont. Nuiat Vaccluste In his annual address Presi- dent Brown stated that one of the greatest cencerna o! bneed- ers is the maintenance of uni- versai calfhood vaccination. Asi a resuit o! the few nesolutions urged on ail Departments of Agriculture, bneed clubs and provincial clubs te use calfhood vaccination in their regular health pnegram. It was stated that the establishment o! certi- fied areas alone might cause a feeling o! false security. Th' fhianciai reprtshowed Income for 1958 at $402.531, up almost $25,000 over 1957. Operating expenses were $387,- 683 se that there was a surplus on the yeaî's operatiens e! $14,- 847. With a depreciation reserve fund o! $143,000, the Associa- tion had other assets listed at $322,202. Good Beet As a departure fromn the usuai annuai meeting taik W. P. Watson, Ontario Livrestocki Commissioner, got on the sub- ject cf Holstein cattie as bee! animaIs. He pointed eut that about 25 percent o! Ontanio's bee! supply came frorn dairy animais. The Holstein steer had mca- sured up well on officiai tests, stated Mr. Watson. While it did net grade as high as the regu- lai bec! breeds it gained more weight on iess feed, o!ten paid the farmer better than bec! breed steers. As Ontario meat caters had shown a deciderl preference for low fat bec! of the "commercial" quality he feit that the raising and feed- ing o! Holstein steers for bec! might weii be a highly profit- able sideline for the small faim- er who could then look te bis dairy cews for a steady income and a few daîry type steers for larger amounts at lesi frequent int.ervals. On test the net return on the dainY type steers had been higher than obtained from beef steers, stated Mr. Watson. While he did net advocate raising un- wanted bulis as steers he thought there was an oppor- tunity for owners o! grade Hol- stein herds, especially if en- gaged in cream production, to engage i beef production as Iwell. It gave the small dairy farmer a chance te build for ex- tra income. S TARK VILLE Mr. and Mis. Allen Cornish an.d farnily v-isited Mrs, Victor Farrow, recentiy.

Farm Radio Forum Holds Uts Semi-Annual Meeting National Farm Radio 1Forum, the 19 year old educatiorlal or- ganization which has provided leaders for many cf Canada's farrn groups, held its Semi-An- nual Board Meeting in the Bess- borough Hotel in Saskatoonl recently. As a vital footnote to the meeting, a one and one- hall heur National Farmn Radio Forum Broadcast was beamed to every province i Canada on January 26th. The broad- cast, fir the first time in the history o! Farm Forum, gave the members o! the groups throughout the provinces an opportunity to report their rfindings on the air. After the haif-hour broadcast, groups meeting in Moncton, N.B., Ot- tawa, Barrie, Ont., Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Lacombe, Alta., reported via special hookup to the national audience. The groups discussed the subjeet of the evening's broadcast, "Is this the year the Small Farm- er gets the axe"?. At the semi-annual meeting, the board decided that several new forms o! aduit education should be investigated on both radio and television by the or- ganization. Interest was height ened in the Television experi- mecnt conducted for the past two zeasons at CKNX-TV in Wingham, Ontario, by CBC and Farm Forum. Resuits o! thîs experiment indicate that local or regional programmes on Tel- evision may be possible in some parts of Canada. using National Farm Forum Guides. At the sanie time, the Board decide'I that the 500 groups taking part in this year's Farrn Forum pro- gramme amply justify continu- ed use o! radio on a National basis for a long time to corne. It was suggested that any re- gional Television Farm Forum Programmes be developed to deal with subjects o! national interest only, in order that the uni!ying ef!ect of the national approach can be retained. The Board commended the CBC for its fine efforts in the field of Must Adopt New Concepts Says Ha nnarn SASKATOON-The presidený o! the Canadian Federation o! Agriculture told farniers the' must become better organizeé te meet tcchnical revolution ir the industîy. H. H. Hannam, addrcssing the CAF annuai meeting here said farmeis must integrate in. dividual faims whene profitable and must become better organ. ized at regionai and national leveis if tbey are te retain con. trol ef agriculture and enjoy the benefits of increasing pro- ductivity. New concepts must be adopt- cd to -neet the challenges o! a ncw cia, he said. The agricu1tural revolution got under way in the war years and was incîeasing in intensity, Among consequences o! this Up. heaval werc: Move Away Great incicases in faim, out. Put; a movement o! woikcî: away from agriculture; a lag. ging world market for farir produets; a spread o! contraci faimning and " vertical integra- tien"; a puice squeeze bctwecn low faim price levels and a continuing risc in faim. costs; suipluses and their interference with normal marketing. The revolution gives risc to an urgent nced for shaping pro- duction te demand, he said, and the extreme difficuity in diîecting and ce - erdinating famiiy faimn production for this purposL,. "In fact, better management practices for the individual faimn operator are iiccessarily at variance wvith the collective goal o! the industry when it is ieemed advisabic to adjust pro- duction downward or te forego expans~ion in particular cern- rnodities."1 To Detriment The revolution se - far had wvorked te the detriment rather than the benefit o! the farmer n teîrns o! his prosperity rela- tivc te that o! the îest o! the econornie community. He said vertical integnation s here and is bound te spnead. If the fanmer is te retain con- troi ever his land and cnjey prespcîity, "then the farmers nust continue to move into the owncrship and direction o! in- egrated enterpnises". "Oîganized in co-openatives and into bargaining and mai- keting associations farmers can if they want te, keep contiol of their own business", he said. When somebody outside of agriculture contrais the finan- es, the market and the earn- ings, the farmer becomes vii- tualiy a share-cropper which can b2 sornethirrg better or something worse than a hired mian." Must Handle "The voiuntary co-eperative has dependcd ilargely upon ownership o! facilities andi handling o! the product as its chie! card.

The decisions reached by the National Faim Radio Forum Board wili undeubtediy have major effects on planning wîth- i the provincial forum ceun- cils duning the next few months, particuiarly in those regiens where Television is available and where forum interest is unifoîmly hlgh. Since local television stations may now be able te produce local Forum Telecasts on National topics, where conditions permit, Farm Forum gnoups may now have an action project which wiil enable them te create discus- sien for themselves and an en- tertaining and informative pro- gramme fer those urban isten- ens and viewers who wish te become acquainted with Can- ada's faîmers and their indus- try.
