Hamlyn, 44 Third Ave., Ottawa: I enclose my sub- scription for another year. We enjoy your paper very much and look for its caming every week. May you long continue ta edit it! Let us hope that 1945 will see the end of this terrible struggle, et leest of the European phase of it. I am always interested in seeing letters in your peper from my aid teacher John Elliott. I think his perennial intereat in ail thinga pertaln.ing ta Bowmanvilie is ne- markable. SHORTHORNS CONTINUE TO DRING HIGH PRICES "Select gaad breeding stock, then breed them, feed them and fit them and thene's goad maney ta be made in the cattie business today" was the advice expressed rec3ntly by one of Durham Caun- ty's best known beef cattie men. The talk ran ta the present can- gestion at the livestock yards and it was shawn that real finished beef was snapped up while un- finished cattie remained unsold, eating hay at $40 a ton and iasing maney daily for the consignors. There was always room at the annuel fat stack show in Toronto far prime fitted beef, the cham- pian steer this yean briniging $1.10 per pound, with the demand far in excess of suppiy. You can breed top Animais in any branch of livestock and make money. For instance a consignor of 40 com- mercial lambs at the Toronta show toak home $3,500 for the lot and the champion pen brought $2 per paund. This ail goes ta show that the advice was sound. Touching on the annual Con- gress Show and Sale held recently at Chicago, it was reveaied that several Canadians took aven ship- ments and drew high prices. Those represented were John ?Mller, Ashburn;l W. A. Dryden, Brooklin; Beath Farms, Oshawa, and Capt. Cyril Mumford, Hqmp- ton. At this sale 162 Shorthorns averaged $900 each. The top bull brought $6,000 and the top fe- maie $3,700, with a female of John Miller's second at $3,100. Beath Farms sold a bull at $2,400 and Capt. Mumnford got $1,300 for a heifer calf bred by his herd sire, Marreibar Style, which he bought twa years ago at $1,000, all of which is evidence that good breeding pays dividends. Canadians were near the top in bath show and sale and of 30 fe- male entries the average was $1,500 apiece. At the auction of a paund, compared with $2.50 per lb. at the Sherbrooke, Que., sale in Seltember. The trend is ta- ward splendid prices for fitted beef with Shorthorns predomin- ating as the prime favorites. J. DURNO INNES APPOINTED CHIEF INSPECTOR FOR HOLSTEIN ASSOCIATION The Holstein-Friesian Associa- tion of Canada has announced the appaintment of J. Durno Innes, Woodstock, as Chief Inspector of Selective Registration. Mn. Innes has had a wide experience as a showman having exhibited Hol- steins and Jerseys on the show circuits from one end of Canada ta the other. He is recognized as one of the country's ablest judges of dairy cattle, having done a masterful job at the recent Oak- ville Championship Show, gen- erally conceded to be the top Holstein Show of the year. Hol- stein breeders are fortunate in- deed to secure a man of his sea- saned judgment for this import- ant position, the hoider of which wields such an influence an the future type of the breed. For the past four years he has been a Director of the Association. Failing health has forced R. M. Holtby, Port Perry, former Chief Inspector, ta curb his activities. However, his wide eperience will not be entirely last ta the As- sociation as he will still be avail- able for consultation and advice ta the newer members of the,.field staff.
