commissioner for onta no that in the first ten months of 1956 a total of 43 100 head of cat tie mostly dairy cattle had been sold for export this looks like around 50 000 head for the year and we imagine that 15 million dol lars would be a conservative csti mate of their sales value with health regulations tightening up constantly in the u s it would ap peai that the importance of retain ing this market for our surplus cat tie would be one of the chief rea sons why the ontario government under the new brucellosis act is undertaking to pay the bill for calf hood vaccination in this

the same panel mr thomas recently ottcn ded an international grassland conference in new zealand in ad ditian on the panel there will be at least two of halton s top farm operators what we actually started out to write was something on parity prices but why should we when halton folk generally and that includes the county press are to have an opportunity of hearing dr howard patterson discuss the topic the directorate of the halton ag ncultural society has installed a heating unit in the main hall at the fair grounds so there is accom modation for all ind ample park ing facilities

ross c irtu rt cimpbellvillc was host as board chairman regulations by 1060 we anticipate that the cattle owners of halton which county is now known as a supervised area under the brucel losis act of 1956 will have the op portumty of deciding whether or not they wish the county to become known as a certified brucellosis free area that in our opinion would mean a test and slaughter programme a spot check test made by health of animals inspec tors revealed that on the average 3 6 per cent of our cattle are posi tivc to the test and another 1 per cent are suspicious in another 3 years of calfhaod vaccination it should be posible to get the per centage of reactors down to per haps one per cent this would mean that a test and slaughter pro gramme would be practical advu lilting while we personally have been luke warm on advising our pure bred breeders to enter their herds under the federal governments brucellosis i istcd herd policy we ctn now see why it would be sound business for our purebred breeders to mvc immediate consideration to this policy that is if they want to retain a market for their surplus cattle in the us spveds up vaccination the new brucellosis act as of oct 1st 1956 has resulted in 8 000 moii eilvcs beinf vaccinated tn october in the present supervised areas than in any previous oclo ber as we interpreted mr wat son s comments the appropriation voted by the ontario legislature for the brucellosis programme will not at the present permit accepting any further applications from other at eas of the province hilton cattle owners therefore arc in a prefer red position reitrictiom halton cattle owners contemplat ing the purchase of cattle from outside the county would he well advised prior to such actie n to contact either the agricultural of fice in milton or their own veter n arun in bnef c ittle from other areas t in be brought in but a per mil shi uld be obt uneel from a vet eimanan there are no rejtnc tions at unsl the movement of steers bulls or heifer calves under 8 meinths of afe furthermore vaceinateel femiles between the ajcs of 8 to id months may also bi it us hi in without restriction ii wter it is impossible in this bnef article to outline all of the relulali ns so all we can do is uuu l th it those contemplating pure i ises of c iue from outside of halton should make a few inquiries fust i ranktv we believe the pol icy s und and in the interests of every cittle owner act hat teeth in passing perhaps we should add that the brucellosis act provides for the prosecution of any cattle owner in halton or other supcrvi sed areas who fails to comply with the regulations personally we wo ild be soirv to see or hear of any hilton cattle owner being pros ecuted and fined for failure to live up to the regulations and rem ember under the law ignorance is no excuse so we would sug gest to our readers that if they know of a neighbour who is not having his female calves vaccina ted when they are between the ages of four anei eight months inclusive they woulel he doing such neighbor a kind act to brine the brucellosis act to his attention in our opin ion it is definitely in the interest of evciv cittle owner to vaccinate his heifer calves the cost is paid by the government so there cm be no excuse for failure to do so school for refugee girls children make up nearly hall tit 9c6 000 arab refwees under the
