street the annual meeting of halton s three dairy herd improvement groups and the halton branch of the maple cattle breeders associa tion was held jointly in the court house milton on monday after noon of last week mr h l patterson director of the farm economics branch of the ontario department of agricuture was the guest speaker for the dhia portion of the meeting hal ton dairymen always look forward to dr patterson s analysis of the asriry situation on this occasion he based considerable of his ad ress on 58 haltoh herds for the yeir ending last april 30th the average coat or producing milk for the twelve month period indicated was 3 89 per cwt while the average prioe received by the 58 producer during the same per lod was 4 21 when all costs for feed interest on investment depre ciation and other expenses other ubbltiinq the defenders freedom than labour were deducted it gave a return of 87 cents per hour on the average for labour on the dairy herd while this hourly return for labour does not compare too favor ably with that paid to labouh in industry the picture would not be too bad if all operators of dairy herds rcoeived that figure per hour for their labour unfortunately the two operators with the low net returns received a minus figure of 9c per hour in other words the cosls and re turns with the 58 herds varied tremendously while tthe average cost of producing 100 lbs of milk as pointed out above was 3 89 the cost figure for the two herds with the high net was 2 75 iper cwt against 5 40 in the cast or the two herds with the low net returns it was pointed out by dr patterson that in the case of the two herds with the high net returns the two operators of these herds stood high on five factors taken into consid eration namely 1 production per cow 2 feeding efficiency 3 labour efficiency 4 use of capital 5 size of business it is rather significant to note that the two herds with the high net returns when compared with the average figures for the 58 herds exceeded in production per cow by an average of 1191 lbs had 21 milk ing cows ml their respective herds against an average of 16 in the 58 herds their return per 100 worth of feed fed wis 56 higher than the average in labour efficiency they look slightly over one half an hour loss to produce 100 lbs of milk and in receipts per 100 invo tmmt exceeded the average by si1 quilitj of
