BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO !~~T1~flAV .~.AT'rTTARV 7~ UI4~ Holstein Dreeders Report Fine Progress -- Annual Meet at Oron The annual meeting of Durha: Holstein Club, held in Orono ci December lSth, was marked by spirit of satisfaction with ti achievemients of the year and thq stendy progress of the Holstein Friesian breed is making througl out the country. There was a lacl of ahl contentibus matters. Pros perity could be seen in the face. and heard in the utterances of tfi members assembled. Ail seeni clear in the Holstein sky, r( clouds in the offing and no spoa on the horizon. James T. Brown presided fo the morning session, with Hari old Muir, Courtice, as secretary The report of the election of o:. ficers and the fieldman's repor have already been published. Ar audited statement of the Club'. finances showed a balance or hand of $204.72. It was resolved to hold nexi year's meeting earlier, prefer- ably not later than the last weeý in November, the place to be lefl with the executive to arrange. ThE Club is open for an invitation. I is Victoria County's turn to bE host to the clubs of the adjoining counties at the annual Field Day next summer. Last fali one of the four reg- ional Black and White shows of the province was held at Rose- neath in connection with the Fa]l fair. Others were held at Kempt- ville, Milton and Ingersoll. A. J. Tamblyn brought up the ques- tion of the possibility of holding the regional championship show at Orono next fali instead of at Roseneath, as there is better ac- commodation at Orono; aithougi R. M. Holtby mentioned that Roseneath had been chosen b' reason of it being more centra]. It was decided to invite the Reg- lonal Championship Show to Orono next faîl, this Club agree- îng to stand all the expenses fo: feed and bedding and to provide a covered show-place-the big circular-roofed building on the grounds. Mr. Holtby said he woulc like to see many more breeders showing cattle at the local Black and White shows; 25 for instance at Orono, instead of the eighi who exhibited last year. John Tamblyn, Carlos Tamblyr and J. H. Jose were named a com- mittee to interview the Board of Directors of Durham Central Fair, with an offer to assist and co- operate with the Board in level- ing the grounds where the cattle are shown. Mr. Jose offered the Montreal Toronto cmd the LORD ELGIN fflottawa $210 ta 13-" per person, No bigher! li - lý -1 400 lovely rooms wit radio! ým use of bis farm tractor for this )n purpose. The matter of adver- a tising was left to the 1943 execu- he tive. he Noon Banquet h- Secretary Harold Muir report- k ed a paid-up membership of 48, ,S- but, including wives and friend: es and special guests, there were e somel140 sat down to the banquet ntalsin the basement of Park ,o Street United Church at noon. ýt This shows what an attractive event the Durham Holstein Club's annual dinner bas become. The or Woman's Association o f t hl r- church served a sumptuous goose 'y dinner, witb ahl the best appur- ftenances, including two dessert rt courses of plum pudding - and Lsauce and pumpkin pie and wbip- ), ped cream. Glasses of luscious )n apple juice were served and this was found to be very acceptable t with wEich to toast the King. It r-was provided by the new vice- k president, Carlos Tamblyn. t Between courses W. F. Rickard, le M.P., led in community singing, t with Mrs. M. H. Staples at the e piano. ig Bruce Tink, the new club presi- iy dent, sat in the central position at the head table with bis charm- ing young wife at bis side. To- f gether they presented a typical picture of Canadian youth in the Il ascendancy. The interest of the - picture was the more enhanced by the presence of Mrs. Little- -wood and Rev. S. Littlewood, ýg representing the Churcb, on the x other side of the president. In It ail the dinner gatherings of the -Black and White breeders in past Syears we bave noticed that the It Holstein business and the Church y have been definitely linked to- 1.gether. r_ The chief guest speaker was C. '0 D. Graham. Chief of Field Ser- -vice Work for Ontario. He told ,r of the strides of the Holstein- eFriesian business and quoted fig- gures to show large increases al e aiong the uine-more members of dthe association, more registrations sof pure-bred cattle, more trans- kfers, bigger business. He and a enumber of other speakers spoke tof the record-breaking price paid by Curtiss Candy Co., Chicago, 7for the yearling Holstein bull, -Montyic Renown, at George M. fClemons' dispersal sale at Brant- ford on December th. Tbis bull brougbt Mr. Clemonb the tidy sum of -$4.100, the higbest price ever paid for a Holstein at public auction in Canada, and the high- est on the North American con- tinent since 1926. The story of this young bull bids fair to become the subject of a Holstein epic. He commended the club for the inter- est it is taking in the rising gen- eration and for the practical en- couragement it is giving youtb. He was glad to note that the club was giving its co-openation to the Federation of Agriculture, a grant of $25 "-eing tvidence of this. R. M. Holtby, fieldman, Port Perny, was in rarè fonm. We have beard and read of after- dinnen speeches being banned and cut out from some mid-day pro- grams because of their fre quently -arid qualities and soporific ten- dencies. But Mn. Holtby's speech was delightful. He was in nemi- niscent mood and, once stanted, kept the audience up to a bigb pitch of interest, wondering what was to corne next. He had a wealtb of stories and incidents to relate pentaining to bis travels tbrough Eastern Ontario and Quebec as fieldman, and told them in bis own inimitable way. Presents Certificates Before sitting down he penfonm- ed a pleasant service by present- ing four Hoîstein-Fniesian Centi- ficates to R. R. Stephens, Mapfle Grove, for bigh production rec- ords; two to James T. Brown, of Newcastle, for production reconds made by bis cow, Olive Burke Fayne, purchased from J. H.

THAT US WHY WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU DRINK MORE GLEN RAE MILK Canada's 1943 bacon contract with Bnitain is 675,000,000 lbs., an increase of 75,000,000 lbs. over 1942. At least eigbt million bogs should be produced in this coun- J fr t In atnex;tweve V mVC otl tflt - eet the requirements of Britain, the armed forces, ships' stores, and the home workers. This will mean an increase of one and three-quarter million hogs, or 28 per cent. During 1942 Ontario farmers will market 2,137,500 hogs, or 34 per cent of the total hogs mar- keted in Canada. At the Dominion- Provincial Conference recently held in Otawa, Ontario assumed the responsibility of increasing hog production in this province by 20 per cent. as our share of the additional one and three- quarters million hogs required to meet ail requirements in 1943. This increase required in Ontario amount to approximately one extra sow per farmn where pigs are now being kept. If every producer does his part, this increase can be obtained. The following four points are important: 1. There is an abundance of grain on most farms and grain can be purchased at reasonable prices. 2. By the use of inexpensive labour saving devices in hog- feeding, the progeny from an extra sow can be raised with very little additional manual labour. 3. Mortality in young pigs normally runs from 20 per cent. to 35 per cent. and can be reduced materially b y a little greater care of the sow before and after far- rowing. Lack of exercise in the sow carýr be responsible for many weak litters. If one more pig per litter is raised, our production from this source along would in- crease 121h per cent. 4. Greater care in preparing rations can materially add to the profits of hog raising. Pigs fed on grain alone will take at least six pounds of grain per pound of gain. Pigs fed on a mixture bal- anced by the addition of some protein supplement can be fed on four pounds of mixture per pound gain. A sow bred today can produce a ton of pork in ten months. We can increase meat production through hogs mucb faster than tbrough cattle or sheep, but even at that, sows must be bred at once if the pigs are to be mar- keted in 11943.

There was a certificate Ifor Fred Tamblyn, Orono, for a cow that had passed the 100,000 lb. mark and for James Seymour, Is Cavan Township. A Premier Breeder Banneret L- was presented to Milton Tam blyn, Orono, for most points made at Orono's Black and White Show at -which Archie Muir & Sons, of Courtice, were runners-up. Milton [S Tamblyn and Archie Muir have ýe cattle in the AII-Canadian Selec- ýtiens as well as in the Ail-Amnen- kcan Selections. 1.1W. F. Rickard, M.P., classed ethe Durham Holstein Club as one s1of the livest associations in the eprovince. He wasn't a member of ethe club, but he certainly approv- eed of its goose dinners and made - a point to attend, He saîd farmers t are doing as much, perhaps more, 1for the war effort as any other - class of people in Canada. S Rev. S. Littlewood noted that smany of the men engaged in the Ebreeding and management of Hol- tsteins are also bigb up in Chris- *tian chanacten and culture. The story of the $14,100 bull had reached him, too, as it had many others in professions other than the Black and White. Some were wondering whether they may not be in the wrong business. The iidea had taken hold of Mr. Lit- »tlewood that he had better stock bis 50-acre farm with Hoîsteins, rather than witb another breed of cattie he had in mind. E. A. Summers spoke of the. curtailment in the production of farm machinery on account of the war. and cautioned aIl to take good care of their implements. Mr. Summers stated $51,000,000 worth of new macbinery was dis- tributed among the farmers of Canada last year. This has been cut to $11,000,000 for 1943. The Department of Agriculture is planning to hold seven two-day courses in mechanics and the care of farm machinery in Durham after the New Year. One of these will be held at Hampton and another at Orono. Mr. Sum- mers intnoduced the guest speak- er, Clifford Graham, a former Agricultural Representative. Two guests were present from Victoria County, Mr. Winter, Ag- ricultural Representative, and Mr. Trotter. Mr. Winter paid his compliments to the Durham Club and also stressed the need of tak- ing the best of care of ail equip- ment. It was a sad sight to see at this time of the year a consider- able number of farm implements out in the fields or beside build- ings, exposed to all kinds of weather. A special dinner-hour enter- tainer was Clair Rouse, Toronto, comedian and trick musician (the One-Man Band). He ap- peared twice on the program, first as a prize hobo and again as an admiraI of the fleet, or sometbing like that. He wore a watch-chain the size of a cattle tie-chain, witb his nondescript, capacious coat fastened with a safety pin over a foot long. He was at home with1 any kind of instrument, classifiedE and .unclassified, and could imi-t tate almost any racial type. Hist pin ccompanist was Miss Doro- tyFelding, whose mother at-f t end ed teeent with her. A vote of thanks to the speak-a ers, the enteratiners in the realm of music, the ladies of Parke Street W.A. and to all others who- helped to make the dinnen-hour such a decided success was moved by Carlos Tamblyn and beartily fl endorsed by ahl present.a ti More Bacon for Britain rl And Pork for Canada Ci Hello Homemakers! Is "nutri- tion" just a vague idea in your mind? Here's your chance to be "in tbe know"ý-to learri the mean- ing of terms being used nowadays and other things you will want to know about nutrition. For every- one sbould understand why nour- ishment must be taken in the proper proportions to give us en- ergy, to, build and repair body tissues, to protect us from infec- tion and to regulate ail body pro- cesses. Just tbink! What you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner is changed into flesh and bones and blood. Stnength and health can only come to us from the food we eat - for food is the body's only nourishment. Yet, Homemakers! This bealth magic comes: straigbt nrom the kitchen. So it's import- ant to choose the right kinds and rigbt amounts of food for the family. We bave ail found out bhat wben our heaith is not good our work suffers, we make more nistakes and cannot accompiisb as mucb in a dQy-wbicb would certainly please Hitler oniy too well.

Engineers Show Great Alacrity In Bridge Building Un ]England Another in a series of articles written by C. V. Charters, who represented the Cana- dian Weekly Newspapers As- sociation in a recent tour overseas. (Article No. 8) If I had a job of bridge building to be done an.y time, anywhere, efficientiy and witb record speed, I would cal on a group of the Royal Canadian Engineers. It was my good fortune to see these feilows in action and doing a reai construction job overseas. They work like demons. A finer body of keen, physically fit Cana- dians would be bard to find any- wbere., Engineers Role Besides preçearing for their op- erational noie when the Canadians go into action, the Royal Canadian Engineers have done extensive experimentai construction and de- veiopment %iork since their arri- vai overseas. Aerodromes, camps, roads and buildings have been constructed and wiil rexnain for the use of the Imperiai Army long after the war bas been won and the Canadians returned home. Special develop- mçnt work on minerai resources in the United Kingdom bhas been undertaken by the Engineers and in special cases the Tunneiling Company - recruited from the bard-rock miners of Nortbern On- tario and Manitoba - bave pierd- ed granite mountains ta bring ad- ditional waterpawer ta munitions plants. The R.C.E. have also been working on new, secret, methods of warfare. Some of their prajects include: new bridging equipment for iver-crossing; camps con- structed in record time; deveiop- ment of Cornish tin mines; con- struction of strategic raads and by-passes; aeradrame construc- tion; special water-diversion tun- neiling; Base Ordnance Warksbop constructed, largest project ever undertaken by Army Engineers; training in bomb disposai work; tunnelling and construction work in Gibraltar. Bridge Building Competition The afternoon that the press party were priviieged to visit them, a competition in bridge building was put on between a Field Company from British Coi- umbia, commanded by Major T. H. Jermyn, Vancouver, represent- ing Western Canada, and a Field Company of Quebec commanded by Major A. S.,Rutherford, Mon- treal, representing Eastern Cana- da. The equipment demonstrated in the bridging operations was the F.B.E. (Folding Boat Equipment)t S.B.G. (Small box girder) pan- taon equipment and another new type of bridge still on the secret list. Each campany fieided three teams. The equipment and sitest were selected by draw, and thet race was on.s The Job To Be Done The F.B.E. bridge ta be con- structed was 120 ft. Stores bad1 ta be laid out with the boats on -1 shore. The bridge was judged completed when one vehicle had crossed it. The time was taken at this point. The judges now in- spected the bridge. Then the group which had shown such skill and alacrity in creating this size- able structure immediately pro- ceeded to tear it down. The dis- mantling was done in the same orderly and efficient mariner as the erection. When this work was completed and the stores ail neat- ly and properly laid out, the offi- cen in charge reported to the judges. The total obtainable for this particular item on the pro- gramme was 115 points. A MarvelIous Feat In the other event, two gaps of 64' and 48' were successively bridged with S.B.G. Here also the1 two teams worked witb clock-like1 precision and accuracy.9 It was a great show - a mar- vellous feat of engineering brains1 and physical strength. The Eas-c tern group from Montreal trium- phed by the narrow margin of ten points, so the judges declared, although to us laymen it looked like a draw, so evenly did the two crews finish. Lt. Col. D. H. Storms, M.C., of Toronto, was in charge of the Bridge building competition. For- merly with the Storms Construc- tion Company, he seems right at homne at this type of work. His son is Lt. Peter, also with the Engineers overseas, and his dau- ghter, Mrs. Scandneth, is in Eng- land as a M.T.C. driver. During this very interesting afternoon with the Engineers, we were treated to, other demonstra- tions of technical skill and physi- cal endurance. It was made iabun- dantly dlean to us that here is a group applying brain and brawnj to the task in hand, determined not to be outdone by anything the enemy may devise, but on the contrary, to outdistance him whenever and wherever possible. The spirit and sparkle of these men was grand to behold. They fully realize the importance of their task. Meet Ex-Minister It was during this afternoon witb the Engineens that our On- tario press men were privileged to meet and renew acquaintance with Lt. Colin .Campbell, R.C.E., former Ontario Minister of Public Works. He had just corne back from service in Gibraltar. While there, he was engaged«in tunnel- ling and providing a hospital in the underground rock. HAMPTON HOLSTEINS IN RECORD 0F PERFORMANCE The largest Record of Perform ance test reported from a Dur-L barn County Holstein during the past month was that of Daisy Mechthilde Pabst, a member of the herd of John Cruickshank, Hampton. Her production of 616 lbs. fat from 17023 lbs. milk gave her third place in a class of 46 mature cows from all parts of Canada that completed records in the twice-a-day milking section of the 305 day division. Third place among 43 three-*year-olds in the same division went to Piebe Segis Ormsby, owned by H. E. Tink & Son, Hampton. She pnoduced 16,385 lbs. milk containing 540 lbs. fat.1 SHEEP AND LAMBS OBJECTIVE IN 194& The objective for sheep and lambs in 1943, set at the Domin- ion-Provincial Agricultural Con- ference beld in Ottawa on De- cember 7 to 9, was for an increase of 12 per cent., or about 90,000 head, more than in 1942. If this objective is reached, a consider- able amount of meat will be avail- able for the increased demands of 1943. In addition more wool wil be marketed to meet the needs of Canada's armed forces and civ- ilians. Increases were foreseen in ail provinces except Saskatchewan, wbere marketings are expected to, be about the samne as in 1942. Nova Scotia anticipated the larg- est increase, about 25 per cent., and the other provinces expect 10 to 15 per cent. gains in sheep pro- - duction in 1943. 1,1'- 114E YTIRCH o. e19 04 'J,' Il Canada's iiytiiY Farmers Canadian farmers today are fighting for victry as labour and marketing.
