LI J John L. Lewis defiantly told the American Federation: of Labor's Executive Council that members of his committee for in- dustrial organization would refuse to stand trial for "insurrection" and that the committee would "carry on." Labor men generally interpreted this announcement, made on behalf of the twelve unions in the committee, as making all but certain a wide split in the Federation. The Executive Council had "invited and re- quested" the twelve unions seeking to organize all the workers in each big industry into one big union, to appear before it and an- swer charges they were violating A.

So many influences are at work to do our thinking for us. Not only so, but so much authority and force are put into the vocal and printed statements that our own 'ideas are swept aside; and sometimes this is just as well--but not always. 'Common sense" is the sense of the majority of ordinary people. This invasion of ideas is common in all phases. of our lives--politics, religion, health, finance, and daily conduct. It produces mass "thinking" (?) which may become very profitable to the promotors, but at times dangerous to the people. , Most of us should make a change in our mental diet at times. The radio has many stations and many viewpoints. One's "favorite" station may simply prove that we are uncomfortable in our minds in the presence of what is new, The same is true of books, -and papers, and people. We all need new ideas, but we need to think about those ideas--not to accept them without question, 3 The man who has the courage to do his own think- ing will have the fun of checking up to see how far he is ri'jat. Ready-made ideas generally make us narrow and prefudiced if accepted without question.

M. Mr. S, Farmer: : After repeated suggestions from yourself, I have attempted to give you some idea of what the black and white' cow has done in Canada, ~ Holsteins originated about the time of the Christian Era by tribes of Friesians and Batavians bringing the one blac k and the other white cattle from Central Europe. They settled along the fertile lowland of the Rhine river. These cattle became mixed as did the families and were further developed in a restricted area in North Holland and West Friesland. The first we know of them in America, they were brought by Dutch settlers to U.S.A. about 1621 to 1625. Other small importations were made but all traces of them and their breeding were lost. In 1852 a Holland cow was pur- chased by Winthrop W. Chenery of Mass., from a Dutch sailing vessel. She had been selected to furnish fresh She was so satis- factory as a producer that in 1857 Mr. Chenery had a bull and two cows sent out -from Holland. Two years later he imported four more cows, but all were afterwards slaughtered, but one young bull, by the State, on account of an outbreak of pleuro-pneumonia. Convinced of their great ability to produce Mr. Chenery brought out an- other lot in '1861 and this time es- caped disease. By 1872 they had spread to twelve states and as far West as California. It was not until 1882 that the first Holsteins of which we now have any record, were brought from the the U.S.A. to Canada. Mr. M. Cook & Son, of Aultsville, Ont, that year showed a small herd at To- ronto. So much interest was 'created that in. 1883 quite an exhibit was shown -at -Toronto. : From that time the breed has grad- ually grown in popularity in spite of the strong opposition from other breeds. In 1891 a herd book was started by The Holstein Friesian As- sociation of Canada. By 1902, 871 registrations and; 618 transfers. were recorded. By 1922, 14,250 registra- tions and 11,5626 transfers; in 1935, 1 24,825 registrations and 25,217 trans- fers were recorded. This was the first year that the transfers exceeded the registrations. This, of _course could not continue as we would soon deplete our herds with the natural wastage each year. The 1935 transfers were 2307 more than the transfers for all the other breeds of cattle, beef and dairy in 1934. In 54 years the breed has outdistanced all others and The Holstein Friesian Association of Can- ada is the strongest and most wealthy Live Stock Association in the British Empire. # Why this growth? Her size and her ability to produce large quantities of milk and butter fat. She was criticized for her lower per cent of fat, but official tests and public dairy tests soon demonstrated her ability to produce more total fat, which of course, is really what counts in the cream cheque. Her milk contains a small. fat 'globule nearer like human milk than any other, and medical doctors who have made a study of it advise Holstein milk for human con- sumption. taken in the water front. ~ presents another phase of do about it?" is best to be done. should be the fullest and subject. The Conquest by the HOLTBY Mr. Herb. Williams, very recently deceased, was the first man to take them to Blogmfield in Prince Edward County, There was no way then known here, to get an official test so he engaged Wm. Colquhon a neighbor and Shorthorn breeder, to come and stay a week, watch the cow milked. The milk was set in shallow pans and cream churned. The cow made around 18 pounds of butter in the seven days. Mr. Colquhoun's comment was "Wil- liam, you have a six cow dairy in that one cow." Mr. Williams took his cow over to A. D. Foster about two miles away and let her run with his grade cows for two weeks, needles to say A. D. Foster became one of the best Holstein breeders of his time. Soon after this a system of testing production was set up, known as Re- cord of Merit or R.O.M. The breeder applied to the Dairy Branch of the nearest Agricultural school for a supervisor whom he paid $2.60 a day, travelling expenses and board. Tests were run for 7, 14, 30 days and some- times for a year. On account of cost the 7 day test was the one generally used, Cows were highly fitted, milked three and four times a day, well fed. Records were made of 40 and even over 50 pounds of butter in 7 days. May Echo Sylvia milked 155 pounds in one day and over 1000 pounds in a week. High record 'cows were bred to sons of high record cows, prices soared for animals of high producing blood lines until a son of this great producer May Echo Sylvia sold as a baby calf at a public auction sale at St. Paul, Minn, for $106,000.00. Although a cow had to be freshened a certain number of days the per cent, was often misleading from a breeding standpoint and the R.O.M. test has died a natural death; but it served its purpose in the early days to advertise the great producing ability of this breed. ' To-day we have a system of test supervised and practically financed by the Federal Live: Stock Branch known as Record of Performance or R.O.P. It is open to all breeds with different standards for each breed. The Hol- stein Standard is of course the highest and something over 200 cows have 'shown their ability to produce 1,000 pounds of butter in a year up to 1750 pounds; and milk records running up to over 34,000 pounds of milk in a vear in Canada. The last fifteen years more atten- tion has been paid to conformation of body and uniformity of udders. True type models 259% of the life size were prepared by nine of the best judges in the United States. It has given us something to work to. Sponsors of other breeds say the Holstein has made more improvement in type than any other breed. Much harm had been done in the days of the seven day test as nothing was thought of but production. : To the late R. W. Walker, the credit is due for introducing the Holstein- Freisian cattle into this locality. At that time the prejudice against the Holstein was very strong. Now you can see them in almost any pasture. Mr. Walker registered an animal in Volume II of the Herd Book, born in 1803. : THE WATERFRONT It is encouraging to note that an interest is being Last week Mr. Hutcheson introduced the subject, and this week Mr: Jas.

As one tiave!s through the country thoughts of depression appear to be uppermost in the minds of all. In days gone by a man of means educated his sons, if they were bright, for the law, the army or navy, and the girls were trained to be ladies, whilst the boys who were not quite as well equipped with brains as the rest, were designed for the ministry. (Editor's Note--This is an old joke permissible from ministers.) - Butgtoday, things are different, the professions are crowded, no room in either of the learned professions and business has no place for the younger 'generation -who seek an opening in life. Consequently many of our sons dismal prospect in life. Should we be discouraged? Cer- tainly not. We cannot expect to start in life where our parents left off. But perhaps we can start somewhere. If we cannot get a whole loaf perhaps we can get a half one. We can at least go to meet that prosperity that is reputed to be just around the cor- ner and if we can met it half way we shall be in a better position to enjoy what it has to offer. . If one begins to think he is beaten, he is. Never say die, because others have given up in the race is that any reason why you should quit? - A thought comes to mind that was em- bodied in these words. They reposed on the desk of 'a former employer: "The utility of a postage stamp con- sists in its ability to stick to the reaches its destination." It was in 1914 and the writer hav-- ing business in the Eastern Town- ships of Quebec Province was in con- versation with a farmer. there. Times were bad, we were passing through another severe depression. A farmer could get no more for his thorough- beds than he could for his grade stock. Then why do you keep thor- oughbreds? he was asked. His an- swer was: "Do you think depression days are going to last forever? Thoroughbreds always will be thor- oughbreds, and in prosperous times will fetch their price again, but grades will never be anything else, that is why I keep the best." Young people, this is a good tip for you. Perhaps you have toiled hard and long and have caught nothing. Perhaps you have got a good educa- tion, but today, like many another you cannot get a start, but depression days are not going to last forever. An education costs nothing to carry around. Stick to it like a postage stamp and one of these days your turn will come, and it will come very quickly when it does, so be ready to seize your opportunity. : --Contributed A Worth While Work .
