ACUTE BUTTER SITUATION EASING Danish butter, which has been ceived in carload lots in many parts of Ontario, is reported to be very well packed, uniform in texture and mild in salt content. Reports to the Department creamery instructors indicate that it will undoubtedly ease the acute butter situation. One or two areas, par-ticularly^Brockville, Ottawa and Pembroke, report that it is made from cultured sweet cream, which gives it a high aroma relished by Europeans generally. September reports indicated the highest disappearance of butter fat since 1943 and\ production in the province generally continues to run ten per cent, lower than in the same period one year ago. Cream and butter quality produced during October, is still well ahead of the same period last year. Credit for this improved quality is given to the Butter Quality Improvement competitions sponsored by the Ontario Creamery Association. These ended a very keen season with butter makers vieing for high standards all over the province. Winners will be announced and-prizes awarded at the a nnual convention of the Ontario Creamery Association, which will be held in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, December 2nd and 3rd. Annual Ontario Championship butter and cream judging competition will also be staged at the Royal York Hotel on Friday, December 3rd. This will be the 27th annual event and at the contest butter-making teams will compete for the provincial championship. A number of creameries in Ont-•io are reported to be changing hands and many other changes are pending. the Kingston-Bancroft and Cobourg area production is declining ipidly and only the arrival of three carloads of Danish butter has relieved the situation. However, cheese factories are closing and some farm-coming to the creameries.

Prizes were given for butter-judging. Owen Sound, Walkerton and Orillia report that because of cooler weather quality of cream has improved.

This together with the constant demand for fluid milk both for bottling berculosis not requiring sanitorium treatment were dscovered. 1 Since the mass x-rays were started in the United Counties during 1946 a total of 12 active cases and 68 inactive cases of tuberculosis have been discovered by these means alone. In addition, the monthly clinics have been established at Bowmanville, Port Hope and Cobourg, with the addition of the Provincial Department clinic at Belleville and the travelling clinics at such centres as Campbellford, Brighton and Colborne, provided the doctors with the facilities for discovering other cases and also with the means of supervising the treatment and progress of already diagnosed.

The monies raised by these efforts have been used not only to finance all the mass surveys held in the United Counties but have also been used to make possible the operation of the monthly clinics at Port Hope, Cobourg and Bowmanville. Four voluntary organizations sponsor these activities--the Bowmanville Lion's Club, the Port Hope Lion's Club, the Northumberland West Tuberculosis Association and the newly formed Northumfberland East Tuberculosis Association. The question is sometimes raised as to whether or not there is a great deal of tuberculosis in the United Counties.
