When you'drink your glass of milk in the morning you are drinking up the 'soll .values of Ontario. And it's got the farmers of York County wor- ried. ; In fact, so many minerals are be- ing transferred from soil on farms in the County of York to the stomachs of Toronto citizens that the Ccmmit- tee on Agriculture, Reforestation and Markets of York County Councii has decided to do something about it. Goes Into Milk "We note the large quantities of milk shipped daily from the farms in the county, containing calcium and other minerals which, in cur opinion, is a drain on the mineral content of the soil. Therefore, we would ask-the Chemistry Department at Guelph to conduct a sofl survey in tho County, thereby enabling farmers tu return to the soil the proper minerals through fertilizers," the committee said. It is a case of the minerals of the soil going into the cow, via Its food, and to the citizens of Toronto via the cow's milk, explained Dr, G. I. Chris- tie, Director of Ontarjo "Agricultural College. And it has a lot of farmers in many other places in Ontario wor- ried. Se Phosphorus, Potassium Missing "Multiply the minerals in ona cow's milk by the amount of milk uted in Toronto and you'd find It came to sev- eral thousand pounds," explained Dr, Christie. "These minerals are taken from the soil, and it they are no* put back the soil naturally is depleted." The -Government- already -J3-survey-- ing Oxford, Brant, Northumberland and Durham for this very thing, Dr. Christie said, .and strong resoluti)'a urging surveys have been passed by the County Councils of Peterhirough and Grey. "Usually phosphorus and potassium have been found to be chief among the imissing after many years of graz- Ing, he said. : Changes Planned In Farmers' Act Dunning Tells House Amend- ments Will Be Brought In Shortly Amendments to the Farmer's Cred- {tors Arrangement Act will be brought into the Ilfouse of Commons shortly by a Government measure, Finance Minister Dunning told the House last week. He suggested private members intending to bring in similar leglsla- tion wait for the Government Bill Mr. Dunning made his announce- ment when the House was giving first reading to a bill introduced by T. C. Douglas (C.C.F.-Weyburn) asking for amendments to the Act to extend fits provisions to the legal representatives of deceased farmers and to insolvent owners of leased farms, Another amendment in Mr. Douglas' bill would provide for hearing an amendment of proposals formulated prior to December, 1936. The Farmers' Creditors Arrange- ment Act was passed in 1934 and provides machinery whereby debtor farmers may reach compromises with their creditors without going though bankruptey, Dairy Production Continues Upward Keeps On Increasing In Canada: During Past Nine Years Production of milk in Canada has been moving steadily upward for the past nine years, and in 1937, the out- put of nearly 17 billion pounds was an increase of about 200 million pounds over that of 1936, Milk is used in a variety of ways with only about 40 per cent being used in the fluid form. Buttermaking takes the greatest amount of milk and close to 60 per cent of the total output is skimmed and churned into butter. It takes about 8 per cent of the milk pro- duced to make cheese and approxi- mately 1.2 per cent of the milk is pro- cessed into concentrated milk pro- ducts. The percentage going into ice cream manufacturers is relatively small. There was a significant gain in the value of all dairy products in 1937 when, due to increased production and higher prices, the value was the great- est recorded since 1930. : More Cows There was an increase of 66,500 in the number of milk cows in Canada, from June 1st, 1936 to June 1st, 1937. Since that time there has been a re- duction in livestock numbers in the drought areas of Saskatchewan and Alberta, but it is felt that this reduc * tion did not affect dairy cows as much as cther classeg of cattle, ' Five rhinoceri, brought into cap- tivity at one time, would glut the en- tire world's rhino market. Since the price of capturing a rhinoceros runs into thousands of dollars, not zoos in the world can afford the mals. %%
