Because of this "discrimlnatory tax."~ and because of world con- ditions today, the Association Is of the opinion that every encour- agement should be given to Can- adian producers. They unani- mously endorsed a resolution to revise tbe tax structure to make for more equal competition. The Durham Federation of Ag- riculture, while not interested in sale to the brewlng indust-r, moved a mothlh to endorse the resolution in principal onily. DairyProduction In Ontarjo Shows Slight Decrease Milk production in Ontario seems to be faling slightly, judg- ing by figures released in the August isue of the Monthly Dairy Report issued by the Sta- tistics and Publications Braneb of the Ontario Department of Ag- riculture. For the month of July butter production shows a drop of 300,000 pountis compared with July of 1949, while cheese output is off by over 2 million pounds. Taking the first seven rnonths of the year .. . (that is, to the end of July) . . . butter output- in 1950 dropped by nearly 2 million pounds while that of cheese is down almost 6 million pounds from the first seven months of 1949. Other figures are only avail- able to the end of June but tak- ing the eight major uses for milk and cream (creamery butter, cheddar' cheese, fluid milk and fluid cream, condensed, evapor- ated and powdered milk and ice cream) the quantity of milk used for ail these purposes in the first six months of this year was down 2.6 per cent from the same period of .1949 and that represented a re- duction of 54 million pounds of, milk used for these purposes. Prices for both butter and cheese aiso were down appreci- ably. The July price for butter this Ycar was 53cecon a wbolesale basis and this was 5c a pound lower than a year ago. Cheese at 28c (Free Alongside Sbip Bas- is) was down 31/c a pound. On the other band the cost of supplementary feeds was up sbarply in most cases. Oats and barley at Ottawa and London were up about $14 a ton, bran about $12 and shorts $10 to $12. Oilcake 16 per cent protein was costing around $15 a ton more than on August lst, 1949, while 24 Per cent protein was up $10 to $11. tLargest single ciass of *ncMe tax payers in Canada in 1947 were business employees, 1,737,898 of a total of 2,366,456 income ta payers.

Gurnsey Club Holds First Show At Port.Perry The first club showv of the Big Four Gurnsey Club that includes breeders in Northumher i a n d, Durha m, Victoria and Ontario Counties, was held at the Port Perry Fair on Labour Day, Mon- day, September 4th. For a small club, a surprisingly large turnout was recorded when seven local, breeders and some 80 cattie bighlighted the show. The Harvey Brothers of Rav- ensworth Farm, Providence, did exceptionaiiy well against keen competition gaining a Senior and Reserve Grand Championship with their bull, Majcsty's Trum- peter's King. Thcy aIso earncd a first with a two-year-old heifer, and a second in the dry coxv class. In ail, they took two firsts, four seconds, two thirds and two fourths. Club Meeting A twilight meeting of the rapidiy growing Big Four Gurn- sey Club xvas held at the Ravens- worth Gurnsey Farm, Providence, August 15th. Sixty breeders of this particular strain of cattie presented themselves along with a sprinkling of interested Hol- stein breeders and some caif club boys. Agricuitural Representative Ed Summers, gucst speaker for the evening gave an informative ad- dress on crop improvement. Mr, Bruce Hodgins, fildman for the Gurnsey Association, showed a very intcresting film on land con- servation. Joe Milligan, Whitby, president of the Gurnsey Club, conducted a cattie judging contest. and Mr. Summers explained the good points of a dairy coxv. Ontario Prospects For Veqetables and Fruit About Normal Prospects for Ontario vege- tables are about normàl but with the exception of grapes and straxvberries it appscars fruit pro- duction this ycar wiil be down substantially. judging by the Au- gust issue of the Ontirio Fruit and Vegetable crop report. Ac- cording to the report the pros- pects as of August 15 were for a grape crop which would be more than a third larger than in 1949. The strawberry crop, wbich is weIl past now, was 60 per cent above our 1949 production in On- tario. When it comnes to somne of the other fruits however, the prospects are not so rosy. Apples are placed at 20 per cent iower than last year. pears are down 35 per cent, plums down 22 per cent and poches down 10 per cent. The cherry and raspberry crops were both rllghtly smalier this year. Over against this more or less gloomny fruit report, the Depart- ment of Agriculture figures show a reasonabiy good situation when it cornes to vegetable crops. AI- most ail of the major vegetables are shown as being of average or slightly better tban'average con- dition on August l5tb. Tbe pea crop for canning is of course completed and while tbe crop was not over-beavy the quality was quite good and there was a satis- factory pack. Acreage of can- ning tomatoes is down substanti- aliy this year, but crop prospects are good, provided an eariy frost does not damage a crop which Is already two weeks later than nor- mal. Judging by August lSth con- ditions, the housewives have no xvorry about supplies of winter storage vegetables such as pota- tocs, carrots, cabbage and tur. nips. Acreages planted to these crops are about tbe same as last year and crop prospects are av- erage or better.
