ments are made with startling rap- idity. Take. for instance. the aero- plane of twenty years ago. today it is obsolete and the methods of defence against newer types of aeroplanes, as they are developed, are quickly pdiusted. So it is in Agriculture. the whole structure of lmarketlng is changing. new de- mands of the consumer have to be carefully considered and evaluated and although the law of supply and demand still governs the price of agricultural products. the agric- ultural outlook of twenty years ago is now obsolete.

Let us consider the dairy cow which for years has been consider- ed the "backbone" of agriculture. Today, the dairy cow finds herself in a precarious position. A partial substitute for butter has been devel- oped and we no longer are forced to rely on the dairy cow. as we did some years ago.

True. the dairy cow still is our source of fluid milk for human consumption. but the views of farnicrs in respect to the dairy cow are forcibly changing

PRICES

The price of farm Iiiacliiiiery has risen sharply during the past few years and when a farmer pur- chases 3 piece of niachincry. he is forccd to think of it not only in terms of expenditure, but in terms of actual revenue which he will derive from it-

Fnr instance, if a dairy farmer purchases an implement with which to hz-irvcsl grain to feed his cottlc. he must take into consider- ation how long it will take those cattle to pay for it. The margin of profit on a dairy cow is. at the present time. narrow and the dairy farmer is forced to keep more and more cows in order to keep out of the red, as the price of feed and farm machinery rises.

This situation is causing more and more farmers to look to beef as a possible ' ” to their im- mediate problem, but if the trend continues toward the production of beef, as at present, we will find our markets overloaded and our beef of little value. Which way then. are we to turn? Are we going to continue on with our pre- sent program of mixed farming or are we going to put more eggs in one side of the basket than the other?

A corollary of the plan is to breed selected herds owned by government institutions or other public bodies to these bulls in order to observe more closely such here- ditary characteristics as disposit- ion, ease of milking, etc. There is no definite provision for ' ,, the type of the progeny other than through the general observation of the Dairy Husbandry Officer.

A similar plan is in operation at the Cambridge centre under the direction of the Institute of Animal Genetics, Edinburgh. It differs in that there is no selection of bull proving herds other than on the basis of enrollment in milk record- ing and they are less insistent on proving bulls in groups. They mea. sure the productive average This plan goes further in that it maps out a closed hreeding.pro- ject for an artificial insemination association starting with llie pur- chase of bulls but working into a programme in which the next gen- eration of bulls is sired by the best proved bulls in the centre.
