interest on investment depreciation ind othir expmses other thin labor were deducted it rivi a return of b7 cents pr hour on tin av ngi for labor on the diirv herd whilt this hourly return foi labor does not compare favorably with that paid to labor by industry the picture would not be too bad if all operators of dairy herds received that figure per hour for their labor unfortunately the two operators with the low net returns received a minus figure of 9c per hour in other words the costs and re turns within the 58 herds varied fremendously while the average cost of producing 100 lbs of milk as pointed out above was 3 89 the cost figure for the two herds with high net returns was 2 75 per cwt against 5 40 in the case of the two wmwa was pointed out by dr patter son that in the caseof the two herds with the high net returns the two operators of these herds stood high on five factors tiken into con- sideration namely 1 production per cow 2 feeding efficiency 3 labor efficiency 141 use of capi tal 5 size of business while we cannot hope to present anything like a complete picture in this brief article it is nther signifi cant to note that the two herds with the high net returns whin compared with the average figures for the 58 herds exceeded in production per cow by an average of 1 191 lbs had 21 milking cows in their respective herds against an average of 16 in the 58 herds their returns per 100 worth of feed fed was 56 00 higher than the average in hbor efficien c they took slightly over one half an hour less to produce 100 lbs milk and in receipts per 10 investment exceeded the average by 11 00 quality of pasture and consequent length of grazing season is stated dr patterson most important from the standpoint of feeding efficiency maple continues to expand maple cattle breeders associa tion which is ontario s largest arti ficial unit showed further cxpan sion in 1952 the unit now has 5188 members an increase of 922 in the past 13 months the number of cows

jerseys guernseys short horns and herefords in addition as a result of a working agreement with units located at hamilton and woodstock it is in a position to sup ply semen from aberdeen angus and dual purpose shorthorn sires as a result of the growth and development of the unit at maple the management is now in a posi tion to accept menfbers at the 5 00 membership fee without the pay ment of

on saturday and foi lowing through to the follow ng safur day mght percentage of price increases in canada since 1941 indexes show implement prices at low level of increase that implement prices have been kept at a low level is clearly shown by the comparison of dominion bureau of statistics index figures which give an increase in all commodities since 1941 of 82 3 as against an increase in a comparable index for masseyhams implements of only 66 5 this low percentage of increase too is shown in the face of an increase in the index figure for materials of 93 9 and of masseyhams hourly rates of pay of 165 as can be seen by referring to the chart shown above also the indexes show that while farm implements have only increased 66 5 there has been an increase in the price of farm products of 93 8 and the scarcity of farmabour has caused farm wage rates to climb to 175 3 the partial absorption of the increased costs of materials and labour has becatmade possible by the continued great world demand for farm mechan ization giving a volume that permits a low ratio of selling expenses and high operating efficiency in manufacturing masseyharris company limited makers of highquality farm
