» " . What's Happening To The Cheese Factories? PPh) he of the olng wi e little red pro om Bo much doubt about it according hg A og on an Products Division, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. Since 1948 the number of fac- tories in On has dropped from 451 to 262, and in Quebec from 230 to 109. Most of the other provinces which make cheese--and "all do except Nova 'Scotia and New- foundland -- show some reduec- tion. Prince Edward Island faec- ries drop fro; New Brunswick from 8 to 7, Manitoba from 19 to 7, and Alberta from I to 11. Saskatchewan still has the five factories she had in 1948 and British Columbia actually has in- creased from one factory to two in the same period, but the general trend is definitely to fewer and larger factories. Closing of the small factories has been due to the replacement of two or three such factories with one large plant and also to diver- sion of milk from cheese to other dairy products in order to satisfy an increasing domestic demand created by larger population, This is indicated by the average Jiuduetion per factory. Ontario's roduction of graded cheese was 2,276 cheese per factory for the 262 factories, as compared with 1,592 per factory for the 51 factories listed in 1948. In Quebec the average production for these same years was 693 and 581 re- spectively. Merging of the small factories into one larger plant has been made possible by the ease of transporting milk longer distances by truck as compared with horse- drawn vehicles, but it has been stimulated by the amalgamation program of the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture introduced in - 1989. In most cases two or three not to |b high quality cheese, Federal Government bearing part of the cost of making the nec- essary changes. In a few cases one larg tral plant has replaced a group of factories, as in the Lake t. John area of Quebec, where a new plant at Chicoutimi replaced 12 small factories, or the new Soumblued Shenae oy butter ac open at Summe s PEL which, replaces three for- mer cheese factories and Buller i premium for high aymen a um for scoring cheese -- those scoring 93 points or more out of 100 -- may the merging of small factories since it is often difficult for such factories to in- stall the necessary equipment or employ fully qualified cheesemak- ers. This is indicated by the fact that 21 factories in Ontario and uebec from which less than 100 cheese per factfry were graded in 1953 had an average of less than 80 per cent First Grade cheese, whereas 22 of the largest factories in the two provinces averaged over 95 per cent First Grade. Relative importance of production in the various prov- ces is best shown by the number of boxes graded in each province. For 1953 the figures were: PEL N.B. Que. Ont. Man. Canada in 1953 was an increase of 53,052 boxes over 1952 but con- siderably below the 1949 total of 1,181,706. hevrier Hopes For Quick . US Decision On Seaway OTTAWA (CP)--Transport Min- ister Chevrier says he hopes for a "rapid and favorable" decision by the United States Supreme Court autho a start on the power phase of St. Lawrence seaway. However, he told the Commons Wednesday he is unable to say when such a judgment may be given. Mr, Chevrier was asked by Frank A.

On another question linked with the seaway, . Chevrier indi- cated Canada is not too worried about the effects of a Toposed diversion of water from Lake ich- an - into the Chicago waterway, ough it has protested the Fri posal. to the U.S. administration. As approved by the U.S. House of Representatives but not yet by the U.S. Senate, the diversion plan would send an additional 1,000 cu- bic feet a second into the waterway a navigable channel that carries Chicago's waste into the Mississippi river system. ~ Millbrook Jail Start Spaced The of (given as the reason of sent to jail in Spring A total 46,008 persons was the vince 'during the fiscal year en March 31, 1053, a decrease of 140 over the in. | @Steemed for y fy. 161 TS were sen aining schools.

Planting corn with a 2-row tractor- operated corn planter, ting 42 acres a year, costs $1.92 an acre. Harvesting cost for oats with a. 5 to 6 foot combine, with power take-off, cutting 120 acres a year, is estimated by the Division as $4.00 po acre. For a 1-row corn picker, arvesting 50 acres of corn a year, $5.35 per acre. Cultivation the growing crop is the major difference in produc- tion costs. With a 2-row tractor- drawn cultivator the estimated cost of cultivating corn is $1.28 an acre for each cultivation. With a single- row horse scuffler the cost rises to $2.20, For three cultivations the total would be $3.85 or $6.60 an acre according to which implement was used. In the actual handling of the crop, corn has some advantages. It can be seeded later in the spring and harvested over a longer per- jod in the fall. Once the ears are ripe corn can stand several weeks in the field without serious danger of loss, or damage by frost.

FEEDING VALUE Corn and oats are not interchang- eable as feeds for live stock. Corn is generally as a good fattening feed for mature animals but oats are preferred for young, been used as a corn belt, corn major feed for all classes of live stock, including horses and Sony.

But where corn crops of 50 bushels or more per acre can be produced consistently it will give higher re- turns than is possible with the smaller grains, The new hybrids are steadily extending the areas in which such corn crops are possible. Tests conducted at the wide- spread network of Federal Ex- rimental Stations and Illustration tations provided an accurate guide to new areas in which growing of grain corn from these new hybrids can be safely attempted.

Cpl. Paul Dugal of Quebec City has been awarded the British Empire Medal by the Queen, the army announced Wednesday. Dugal, 22, came out of Commun- ist captivity in Korea April 21, 1953, with a little black notebook which he had managed to keep hidden from the Reds. In that notebook he had written the names of 15 fellow Canadians who were prison- ers-of-war. Later he remembered having seen a 16th--Capt. Joseph Michael Liston of Ottawa. . which up to that time had been able to list only one Cana- dian as prisoner-of-war, checked Dugal"s sto closely. On the strength of his evidence alone, it listed all 16 officially as prisoners. Dugal's score turned out to be perfect. When the final prisoner exchange was completed last Sep- tember, all 16 men listed by Dugal had been returned as prisoners. Besides these 16, two other Cana- dians were repatriated by the Communists. Would Ignore Italian Court VANCOUVER (CP) James Burns, a former major in the Canadian and now an un- employed truck driver, doesn't think much of the gratitude shown by Osvaldo Hollrigi of Bolzano, It @ accused Burns of a $120,000 stamp theft and in an Italian court Monday the Canadian was con- victed in absentia, give a year's suspeded sentence, and ordered to reimburse Ho for the stamps. "YT arranged his release from a Russian prisoner-of-war camp in 1945," said Burns Wednesday. "If I hadn't got him out, he might still have n in Russian hands. "Is that gratitude' Burns obtained a stamp collec. tion while overseas, but denied he ever had any stamps belonging to ollrigi. Burns said he intends to ignore the Italian court judgment.

Pearson, superintendent of ele- mentary education, said today. Speaking to the Ontario legisla- | Mr. ture's committee on education, Mr. Pearson said that last year provincial school boards had to provide 1,500 additional school rooms to meet the increase in the number of pupils. "Indications are that this prob- lem will go on for several years. It means we will have to expand at the rate of $30,000,000 a year for elementary ucation," A total of 610,441 public school pupils and 157,956 separate school students were enrolled Sept 1, an increase of 52,524 over 1952. ONE-THIRD TEMPORARY Mr. Pearson said schoolroom ad- ditions are main t eon- struction, but in the suburbs where e of Jovulation has arisen, school boards are building two- thirds of the rooms on a perman- ent basis, on the realization that when the peak is reached the rate will drop to two-thirds. W. Murdoch (PC--Essex South) wondered if enough guidance is Kiven boards on school construc- on. Mr. Pearson said school boards by arguing that those who call the tune should pay the piper. '" 'But that is not the way we feel about it. The conflict today is not between empires, or between one super-power and another,but between freedom and slavery, des- potism and democracy, right and wrong. So we range ourselves on the side of freedom, under the leadership of the United States of America, and we will play, I hope, a good part in the long and unend- ing Sgn for peace and a decent world.

He said the Toronto school hoard ruled that Grade 8 pupils be given a course on Canada and the Amer- ijcas and Grade 9 (high school) students a course on Canada and the British Commonwealth.
