i2t feeding ef- 1 fcieivcy s irfibtur fficiency- 4 capital use and 5 size of business- although each of thee fne factory is important in itself the higher levels of net returns are asociated with better than average accomplishment in at least three factors at the same time in short no one factor alone can as sure success we note that since dairy herd improvement work was launched in halton some five years ago that the production per cow is gradual ly levelling out in other words there is notthe variation in pro- duction pej- cow per hertl that there was when the program was first launched true there is still huhfc la variatiorl but look for yourself two herds wih high net returns had an average production of 10072 lbs of milk and 336 lbs bj in tbs two herds with the low net returns the average production per cow was 7528 lbs of milk and 276 lbs bf the average of the entire group of 72 in halton dih ia work for the year in question was 8150 lbs milk and 294 lbs bf by the way the 72 herds involved a total of 1296 milking cows we cannot hope in this news article to deal in any comprehen sive way with all five factors men tioned suffice for us to state that under factor two feeding effici ency the returns per 100 feed fed varies from 173 to 277 with an average of 227 for the entirp group in factor three labour effici ency the number of man hours required to produce wo lbs of milk varies from 8 to 2ovith an aver age of 13 foi- the group in factor four capital use the returns per 100 invested varies from 54 to 83 with an average of 61 ids in ivt5- in the case of eggs 15 eggs in 1924 and slightly ovcr 30 n 1954 in the case of butter 11 lbs in 1924 and 25 lbs in 1954 the figures we have quoted are based on dominion bureau of statistics our other statements are substantiated either by the 1951 cenius figures or the reports of the d bs every rural producer has friends or relatives living 4njrban centres consequently there is a real opportunity for us as indivi duals to do a worthwhile piece of public relations work by present ing some of these facts in a friend ly way in short both groups have their problems and a frank interchange of facts might do much in eliminat ing a good deal of the misunder standing which now exists forums ask is ont agr inefficient iast monday night we attended a farm forum meeting the topic for discussion- was a public rela tions program for canadian agri culture the panel discussion over the air dealt with the subject from the standpoint of the canadian federation of agriculture- getting information back to its provincial branches and from them back to the county and township levels and finally to the farm operator on the back concession we do not question the impor tance of this piece of ailblic rela tions but we cant help but feel that it is equally as important that we do a better public relations job among our urban consumers ont ario and canadian agriculturejias gorie t hvr ouglv revolutionary changes since 1939 and in ou opin ion with the 1951 census revealing that jes than 15 of our popula tion live on farms it is important that the other m urban con sumers have some conception of what is involved inthe business of agriculture true a few of our urban friends find out when they go farming but that to us is too slow a process ithey weit willing to have the-lac- lim organisation help
