Cattle Price SIIPIWN

A pronouncement that the Price luppon program is to apply to .o.,,..grade manufacturing beef, has brought very little enthusiasm in (Mal circles. This support pro- pjdes an offer to pay between 10 Ind 12.; a pound to farmers with rattle that are not good enough (or the high-grade carcass trade. rnis would cover grades 3-1, thin .l,eers and heifers and plain cows, ill be purchased in bone- form and, stored for future arket. The full details of the gnnouncement are not yet receiv- ,d, and remains to be seen whether the provision will bolster . weakening cattle market.

At the present time the prices M. the Charlottetown market are my different from the levels ob- tained a year ago. Choice steers. ,r which there are very few, are ,; 520,00, good 19.00. medium 16.50. ma common 9.00 to 12.00. Heifers rgnge from 319.00 at choice, down :0 9.00 to 11.00; while cows range lrom 13.00 for good, down to 7.00 :0 3.00 for canners and cutters. If the recent announcement of a mpport price brings these lower grades up to within decent shoot- mg distance of the price quoted, a. great deal of satisfaction will be ,i;pericnced. The question is Twill ',t. nnrk?"

Lamb Marketa

The lamb market is not attract- ive, apparently. for live sales. The following are the quotations local- ly; Live grade quotations for good lambs-317.00; rail grade prices for A's. 42.00 up to 46 lbs. It would seem to be a very good practice to sell good lambs on a rail grade basis. There is still a large number of lambs in the country, and producers should ex- rrcise the greatest care to see that the lamb returns are giving them the highest price.

Potato Crop Estimates

A special wire coming through to W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, gives the United States estimate on potato yields it 345,561,000 bushels, or a yield oer acre of 243.7 bushels. This isilmate is considerably above the intimate issued about a. month ago mri is more or less in keeping X'l'.ll our experiences in this Pro- vince on potato production. It is iirficult, at the present time, to assess the final position of potato reduction in either Canada or he United States. The final fig- ure may be up or down from the present level. If final production figures are higher in the Uriit.ed states than that at present indi- cated. and should the Canadian production also be higher than was anticipated, there may not be such a. definite shortage in sup- plies as has been indicated for home time.

It must be emphasized, how- ever, that present figures are by no means suiliciently large to jeopardize a reasonably strong tone in the market. and it is con- fidentially expected that potato prices for the year should remain at I. figure that will be remuner- stlvo to the producer. This will depend. to some extent too, on or- derly marketing of the crop. and on a gradual easing out of sup- plies over the whole season to the trade.

Prince Edward Island potato harvesting is now in full swing, and there are good reports from various areas regarding the qual- ity of the crop.

Minerals For Dairy Cattle

”':””-I18 the past decade consid- ii 16 scientific information has WEI secured on the mineral re-

ements of dairy cows. In ad. On. numerous experiments have ll ondueted to determine the

nis that vary widely in ”"”'b"”Y Md price. There are a

few that contain curtain minerals that are not likely to be deficient in rations for dairy cattle.

A good dairy cow requires rela- tively large quantitiu of minerals to satisfy the combined needs for milk production, growth, reproduc- tion and maintenance. When ra- tions containing a fair variety of feeds are fed, there are only four minerals that are likely to be de- ficient, i.e. common salt, iodine. calcium (lime), and phosphorus. There ip very little possibility of other minerals being lacking ex- cept under very unusual feed con- ditions.

Common salt (sodium chloride) -The feeds commonly used in dairy rations -do not contain salt, and for this reason it has to be fed to all animals. It is a mineral that can be self fed without dan- ger Of overfeeding. but. certain cows occasionally may not-eat suf- ficient to take care of their re- quirement. It is, therefore, a good practice to add 1 lb. of salt to each 100 lbs. of the concentrate mixture. This insures . that the heavy producing cows with the highest salt requirement will con- sume the most salt. Even when salt is fed with grain at this rate, additional amounts should be made available by allowing the cattle access to either a box of loose salt or to block salt.

Iodine.,may also be lacking in dairy rations. Serious losses due to iodine deficiency have occurred among newborn animals in most parts oi Alberta. In dairy cattle iodine deficiency is indicated gen- erally by the birth of calves that show one or more of the following symptoms-soft and flabby, goi- tred (big neck) and partially hair- less. In many cases the calf is born dead or dies within a. few days of birth.

. .

Iodine is "usually supplied in the form of potassium iodide. A con- venient method of feeding the iodide is to mix 3 oz. of potassium iodide with 100 lbs. of salt. This is a good salt mixture to use with the grain as suggested previously. Iodized block salt usually contains less iodine" and is best used as a supplement to the lodized salt fed in the grain mixture. Formerly iodiud salt blocks lost most of their iodine on storage. but recent improvements in method of man- ufacture make it less likely that the iodine will be lost.

Calcium (Lime) is only lacking in certain kinds of rations and in cows producing the larger amounts of milk. The rations most likely to lack calcium are. those not con- taining'legume hay such as alfalfa or clover. The grass hays and es- pecially the cereal hays are fairly low. in calcium, and the cereal grains that comprise the major portion of our concentrate mix- tures are very low in this mineral.

Cows producing small quantities of milk tan secure enough cal- cium from non-legumineus rations to meet their requirements. Heavy producing cows require more cal- cium than that contained in the average non-leguminous I ” ; is true that animals store cal- cium in their bones and can use a large proportion of it to carry them over short periods of cal- cium deficient rations. It is. how- ever, not good practice to force cows to use their bone calcium. as serious consequences may follow if too much is taken from their

bones. .

O O The best practice is to make certain that cows get sufficient calcium in their rations. The cheapest and surest way is to feed legume hays, , as these contain ampleicalcium for the needs of all cows even if legumes comprise only half the roughage allowance. when legume hays are not fed. a dairyrnan has the choice of feeding slaked lime. limestone. bonemeal or mono-calcium phos- phste. The best way to feed these calciumlsupplements is to add 1 or 295 to the grain mixture, the higher amount being used when cereal hays are fed as well as when the cows are producing most heavily. Additional amounts can be fed by placing a box in the barnyard containing either the calcium upplement alone or mix- ed with an equal amount of salt. Phosphorus is very seldom lack- ing when cows are being fed suit- able rations containing good qual- ity hays and grain. Phosphorus is most liisly to be lacking in the hays grown on phospho ... defic- ient sous. While legume hays contain more phosphorus than other hays. they may not contain enough to provide the required amounts. D O Grains. and especially wheat bran, are rich in ' ” u.. and cows fed a few pounds or more daily of a. good concentrate mix- ture will receive ample. Phosphor- us deficiency will therefore only occur when the cattle are receiv- ing almost their entire ration in the form of roughage. As this practice is not recommended there is little pouibility of a phosphorus deficiency occurring. Whenptherc is likely to be a phosphorus defic- iency, however, bone-meal mono- cslcium phosphate is fed as pre- scribed under the diseunion of calcium will provide ample quanti- ties of both minerals. commercial mine r sl mixtures usually contain large percentages of the minerals mentioned. The addition of other minerals less likely to be deficient lowers the percentage of those needed and

make the mineral more expansive.

And Winter, Too

Since our discovery of this love- ly poem, by Phyllis McGinley, in the "New Yorker", two weeks ago. we have been trying to find an excuse to share it. The week of Thanksgiving, seems an appropri- ate time. Those who hsve been well and successful, will certainly number among their blessings the succession of glorious summer days we have had. And even the ill, the lonely and disa pointed have found a measure o health and hope in the generous sunshine. Light-handed, yet reverent, the following verses seem created for the days that are even now reluc- tant to leavelus:

A Summer Morning (Psalm 1I'l:24-Douay Version) "THIS IS TH.!l DAY WHICH THE LORD HAT!-I MADE", Shining like Eden absolved of sin, Three parts glitter to one part shade:

"LET US BE GLAD AND RE- JOICE THER.EI'N."

No snow. rosy in the sunset, sparkling blue un- der the stars? No soft-sheathed woods and hills and hollows, be- jewclied in the daylight, white and solemn under the moon?
