"

Root crops. owing to the dry season. were retarted to some ex- tent 1h growth. A long favorable fall season corrected to a great extent this deficiency. The main crop was finally about equal to that of the previous year. The corn crop was vigorous and iue yield above average.

The Brewing of root and vege- table seeds was conducted with co ' able success and quite substantial quantities of turnip, and mangel seed were harvested. i

The following is a summary of the acreage and production for the past year.

Dairy Production

The season started with every prospect of an increased produc- tion oi dairy products. Conditions, as already intimated, however, lflmlwfflfily reduced supplies. Pflfilllollyhowever, at the end oi |the year indicates one of the best records in our history.

CreB-lhery butter production drop- ped about 7% below 1043 produc-

tion.

I Approximately 4.100.000 pounds ‘of creamery butter have been pro- duced to Dec. 31st. Cheese pro- ‘yduction has substantially increas- ed, showing about 30% of an in-

‘crease over 1043. The total pound- suds

age produced by factories to the end of Decembe approximated 1,050,000 pounds. The total pro- duction of dairy products, cheese and butter combined. also iluid milk thus equals or surpasses that oi our best year.

and Summer was large. and dii-

ficulty was experienced on many

occasions in handling supplies. Approximately 65,000 hogs were routed through the Maritime in- pianta ior the The quality of our hogs was good but still not entirely satisfactory. While the Province leads Canada in A grades, with over 40 per cent this iigure is still iar too low. Our breeding prac- tices are generally very good, and with improved feeding policies there is ll0 reason why our per- centage oi A‘s should not be rais- ed to at least 75 per cent. Not. on-ly would our war effort and post war position be improved but

the immediate returns to the pro-a

dlucer would be considerably in- creased.

The program of hog productior for 1945 suggests a still greater interest in the maintenance oi the industry. Our bacon contract is secure ior o. two year period and with present price levels and feed cosis. this field offers, cvcn with its large labor factors. an attrac- tive economic investment.

Poultry

Poultry production has also been outstanding. The total poul- try population at June not in- cliuding turkeys, geese and ducks, shows an increase of almost 200,- 000 birls. Production throughout the year was maintained at a high level. Well over 30 carloads oi eggs were shipped to the Poul-

e Provincial and Federal De- partments co-operated in disease and centered the work in the rovinctal Laboratory. The high-ly satisfactory records achiev- ed are a compliment to the whole- hsamd oo-operation of alll con- cemed. which includes poultry producers and k operators. It is intended to still iurt er em- phasise this work if possi- ble. make the Province the out- standing contra ior the production of poultry oi outstanding health, vigour and quality. About 60.- sasnplea were teaed at the labors during the year.

Upwards 200 producers took advantage of the Broader House Policy and there is a definite up-

New Activities

duction. a new phase oi’ work was developed during th facilities oi the Provincial Labora- tory were used ior the purpose oi testing butter ior yeast and moulds. and the educational scoring oi butter was re-instltuted. Care- ful examination was made oi creamery and cheese factories and close personal inspections by De- partmental officials were con- ducted in every dairy concern.

Statistical returns were then forwarded to cheese and butter factory operators in connection with all phases oi development that had taken place. The con- tinuation of investigational and promotion-oi work in connection with cheese and butter will un- doubtedly develop an all ’ round im rovement in the quality of our dary products.
