long enough to he conclusive nevertheless the production figures are not only interesting but thought provoking by the grapevine we understand that out of 51 herd sires whose progeny are being summarized the maple unit has 5 bulla in the top 7 in strong demand a reliable source says that the semen from lonelm texal high- croft is in- such strong demand from breeders who are not members of the maple unit that the maple board of directors recently raised the prloe of services from this sire for nonmembers from 25 to 9100 this bull is getting along in years and some of his semen is being fro zen as a safeguard against the future nevertheless due to the demands not only in canada but from indivi dual breeders and also artificial units in several states across the line it was necessary that some restriction be made in order that maple members would not be de prived of the opportunity of breed ing to this great sire flown to britain the british friesian association has arranged to have 100 cubic cen timetres of frozen semen flown from this province to great brit ain after studying the breeding of the sires in the various artificial studs in ontario the british auth orities requested 50 cc s from either of two bulls at maple 25 cc from a sire in the waterloo unit antpthe other 25 cc s from a sire in the ox ford unit orvtrhaatwitfw techahsachabter e camp albert fihmtar
