Butter, Ice Cream Output Up, Cheese Down In PEI
l?ri.nce Edward Island proces- sing plants manufactured more butter and ice cream in 1957 than
they did in 1956, but produced less .
cheese, pasturized milk and cream.
This information was contained
in a report submitted yesterday .
afternoon to the Dairymen’s As- sociation by Mr. Henry J. Mac- Donald, provincial Dairy Superin- tendent.
Products processed , last year exhibited only minor ifariations in grade in comparison to 1956 clas-
sifications Mr. MacDonald’s re- ,
port indicated. The exception was cheese, which in 1957 was graded on a different basis from that used in prior years.
In addition the Dairy Superin- tendent’-s report listed the win- ners of prizes in the annual pro- vincial provement competitions.
Following is the -text of Mr. MacDonald’s report:
BUTTER
During the first five months of 1957 the mazrufacture of butter was higher in this Province than in 1956. In the months of June, July and August a considerable decrease in production was re- ported, but during the remaining months of the year the amount made was greater each month than that of last year.
The total pounds of butter man-’ ufaotured amounted to 5,662,427 compared with 5,644,075 in 1956, an increase of 18,352 pounds or about 0.32. per cent. The gross value of butter made was $3,498,- 619.00. The average price receiv- ed for butter was 61.78 cents. The average net price per pound fat was 65.37 cents.
CHEESE
The total manufacturer of cheese in 1957 is reported less than the previous year. The pro- duction was considerably higher during the summer months and ‘even at the end of November there was an increase of 2 per cent for the season, but the early closing of the Dundals Dairying Company and Amalgamated Dair- ies Limited, Summerside, con- tributed to a decreased manufac- ture for the year.
The total pounds of cheese made was 839,494 compared with 852,205 for 1956. This is a de- crease of 12,711 pounds or ap- proximately 1.5 per cent. The gross value of the cheese made was . $306,577.41. The average price received for cheese was $306,577.41. The average price re- ceived for cheese was 36.51 cents per pound. .
The average net value per pound of butterfat to the patrons was 68.88 cents. The net value per hundred pounds of milk to the patrons was, $2.42 and the average pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese was 10.75. MILK. CREAM. ICE CREAM
The sale of pasteurized milk and cream was generally lower In the Province during 1957 than that of the previous year. Pro- ducting in the Charlottetown area was well maintained. Three dairies reported increased sales while the others decreased 3 similar amount. Lower sales were reported in the Summerside and Alberton areas. The remaining plants in the Province showed in- creased sales.
The total pounds of milk past- eurized in 1957 amounted to 11, 180,1490.compared with 11,344,073 pounds 1n 1956., This is-a decrease of 163,583 pounds or about 1.44 per cent.
The total pounds of cream pasteurized amounted to 182,370 Compared with 189,903 in 1956, a decrease of 7,533 pounds or about 3.96 per cent. The total net value of both milk and cream was $533,- -"-22-13 compared with $505,585.62 last year. \
The total number of quarts of
ice cream manufactured in 19- V 57 amounted to 811,900. This is an i
Increase of 20,168 'quarts or about 2-54 ‘Per cent. The gross value of the ice cream made last year amounted to $305,851.50. GRADE or BUTTER

In 1957 there were 4,260 churn- ings sampled and tested with 63,- 74 percent excellent, 20.82 per- cent good, 6.17 percent fair and 9.27 percent poor. In 1956, 4,287 churnin-gs were sampled and test- ed with 64.61 per cent excellent, 21.18 percent good,;5.27 percent fair and 8.94 percent pood.~ These figures show a 1.23 per- cent decrease in the excellent and good categories and 1.23 per cent increase in the fair and poor.

P ANT IMPROVEMENT
During the past year a new stainless steel churn was ‘in- stalled at Morell Creamery and another at the Pure Milk Com- pany. These churns are proving to be very satisfactory from a sanitary standpoint and no doubt they will be-very durable.
A printing machine, storage tank and plate cooler was install- ed at Amalgamated Dairies, Summerside. The printing room’ in this plant was renovated and placed under uniform tempera- ture control. The printing room in this company’s plant in 0’Leary was also much enlarged and improved. A new cement floor was placed in the New Glasgow Creamery.
The East River and Tignrish Cheese Factory Companies pur- chased milk clarifiers for the purpose of improving the sedi- ment content of cheese. They hagze done a very satisfactory J0 .

very little from that obtained by weighing every day, he maintain- ed. Major MacRae, Central Royalty declared that on his farm all milkings had been weighed for many years and he would never change this method which “enab- les the dairyman to spot_a p_00r producer or sick animal in time to do something about it.” he said. ,
Weight checks for milk product- -ing had been started at his place years ago, n'ra.intained~ Mr. Louis 0’Connor, Clinton. _
By following the practice he and his father had been able ‘to build up an excellent commercial herd he said.
GOVERNMENT VIEW
_ Mr. S. C. Wright, deputy minis- ter of Agriculture. explained that the regulation covering dally weighing had been established to ensure that sufficient checks would be made. _ _
In the departments opinion many would neglect the weight check if it were restricted to only ance a month. _
The new policy was explained to the dairymen by Earl Aduams, assistant dairy superin- tendent and supervisor of herd improvement. "
"This policy was chiefly de- signed to assist the grade breed- er of cattle by determining the amount of milk and fat that each cow in his herd produces," he said.
“Knowing this,” he continued, “the farmer is in a position to dispose of his boarder cows and to breesd his better cows to im- proved dairy sires. THREE CLUBS ‘
"It is the intention of the De- partment of Agriculture to organ- ize a club in eachof the areas now served by an artificial breed- ing unit. To date we have three clubs organized, one in each county, namely: O’Leary. and District, New Glasgow and ‘Dis- trict nand Montague and District, with 45 farmers representing 463 cows. We have two clubs in the process of being organized, one in the Eastern Prince area and
