Mr- Churchill covered a. wide range of both military and political affairs around the world. Here is a surrnnat y of the picture he drew:-

Mr. Chinchlll said " trust and believe" that the Allies will "succeed in the present battle and enter Rome." 5.

The following report was sub-

.mittecl at the annual meeting of

the Dalrymclfs Association yes-

terduy by Ml‘. H. J. McDonald, airy Inspector:

In the month of May 1943. due to the continued illness of Mr. W. I... Brenton Dairy Superintendent I received the appointment of dairy inspector for the province. Having received notice shortly afterwards, I immediately took up my duties in that capacity.

Not having much previous know- ledge about the location of the different factories throughout the Island. and not being fully ac- quainted with a number of our factory managers, Mr. Fraser T. Morrow, who was then on cheese factory inspection work very kind- ly acompanled me for about two weeks. We visited ncarly all the creamerles and cheese factories during this time, getting well ac- quainted with the managers and the condition of the different fac- tories as they then existed. All creameries were then ready for the summerb work.

At that; time we were entering rcne ‘of the heaviest seasons frotn ithe standpoint of production in the history of the province. Condi- tions favorable to the growth of good pastures prevailed through- out the whole summer. The dairy herds came to pasture in good con- dition. The abundant rainfall sup- plied sufficient moisture and thc temperature. while not excessive- ly hot, was suitable for rapid growth. In the early summer. cream began coming into thc ,creameries in even" increasing vol- ume, and while not much increase was noticeable drlng the early part of the summer over the pro- duction of 1942, yet the continued good season together with thc eight cents per pound subsidy for butter-fat, and a change on the part of some cheese factory pat- rons to cream production forced the total manufacture of creamer-y outlet- ovcr the top for a record year.

Certain Reaction A pertain reaction took place af-

. winter. Due to the abundant rain- fall of the pastsummengreatdif- ficulty was experienced in hay- maklng, and the hay crop in many sections in the country was not housed in good condition. The dif- ficulty also in getting protein sup- plements. and the fact that turtl- ips were selling at a price which made 1t, impossible to get the same amount out of them for feed, had a retarding influence on the pro- ii ‘decrease in the manufacture of butter for the month of December of 32.227 lbs., or 16.1 per cent. with December i942. One of the first difficulties to was a shortage of -mokcrs. Two factories were Ineeding a maker. and much time was involved trying to set the ne- cessary men. There was also some equipment

needed for cheese factories. whicn_ was rather difficult to obtain at‘

that particular time, Onc of the vats of East River had to be re- placed. and another was needed nt. Bridgetown. Both were pur- ,chased from the New Glasgow company. As there was no plan of action to follow. and being satisfied that ,tltose cheese factor cs needing ne- icessary equipment to handle the seasons make, were at least tern- porhrily equipped, attention was then given to grading cream at tlic lcrcamerics. We have a cream [grading law in this province cs- |tablishcd for the purpose of lin- proving the quality of our cream ' and but-lei". and it is my belief that '. unless the cream is graded in ac- cordance with this Act in every crcamery in our province. the pur- ipcse for which the law was made ‘will be defeated. The majority of our creamery men realize this, i and from results obtained by grad- ing during the past few years. they readily admit improvement in the quality of cream since grading was started in their own creamery. This work was carried on in the warm summer months. and to tho credit of the managers may it bo said that wonderful co-opcratloil was received. There are a few yet, though, who have not. taken up the work as seriously as they should. and the results are more keenly felt than admitted. With stricter attention being given to grading generally, and by churning thc second grade cream separately. considerable improvement should be noticeable in the quality of our butter. In the midsummer months. ow- mg to the heavy production of but.-

‘Bairy Inspector Gives Review Of I943 Activities

‘ter in our province. and also to other causes, some difficulty was experienced in marketing. The Wmtinae Prices and Trade Board setting the minimum price for sol- ids in the Mtlrltinte Provinces made it one cent per pound higher than Quebec, Oiltario and British Col- umbia and three cents higher "l!!! Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Al- berta. The result cf this action was that lxitwr could be bought in provinces outside the Maritimes brought to these markets and un- derscll our floor price for solids. Almost all our creameries were making print butter, and had dif- ficulty in selling unless they sold for a price lmver than the mini- munl for solids.

The Dairy Products Board would then buy first. grade butter solids at the prevailing minimum price. A decision was made to buy the iaecessary solid boxes. and liners to supply some of the creameries that. decided to sel‘. their butter iii this way, but those who did. rccclved thc desired price. and payment. satisfactorily, but disappointing consequences follow- ed. Some of thc butter showed mould in storage sometime after it. was purchased,

‘This is rather a serious evil in present clay creamery operation. It is a self evident proof that the san- itation of our creameries 1s not what it should be, and since mould spores can come from a great many sources, thc Department decided that some action should be taken to tlctnrniiiw the cause as rapidly as possible. In this work. thc ser- vices of Mr. W.C. Cameron, As- sociatc Chief. Dairy Products. Grading and Inspection Services. Ottawa, were procured. Mr. Cam- eron accompanied for a time by Mr. William Davies, Dominion Dairy Produce Grader, and thc writer made a complete survey of almost. all the creamcries in the province. A very complete and ac- curate report of Mr. Cameronb survey; is now in the office of the Dcnnrtnlrnt of Agriculture and Dairy Superintendent. Charlotte- town, ‘rive copies of the report of each factory have been sent to their respective Manager and Sec- retary. It is my belief that Breat improvement in the sanitation equipment of our factories, and the quality of our butter in future will restllt. from Mr. Cameron's 1n- tensive survey.

Butter

The number of ggjads of cream- ery butter nlantltsctured accord- ing tn the rciborts totalled from each factory was 4.313.122. an in- crease over 1942 of 843.712 pounds 24.3 per ccnt. Only 8.821 btxes were graded. Total pounds glad- ed uiorc 493,076 or 11.1 per cent. 84.08 per cent first grade, 13.03 per cent second grade. and 2.89 per cent below third grade. This is not, a vcry good showing as far as quality 1s concerned. and no ex- cuse will be set forth except to say that one reason for the percent- age of first grade to be below that oi‘ 1942 was because one creamer-y was not getting its neutralizing done accurately and when the but- ter was graded out of 425 boxes, 31-1 of them went second. An im- proper tube placed in the acid- lncter was one cause of this w condition.

A considerable quantity of cream ‘is coming to thc creameries in the. afternoon on trucks that arc not covered. The hot slin, wind an road dust do a grcat amount of damage when it is anywhere from two to six hours on the road.

' Condition:

I‘

A few of our creanlcries are very well equipped cvcn to thc smallest detail. while the majority need a number of requirements for suc- cessful opcratlon. Several past-- ctirizers need rctinnlng. and this work should be done before an- other season's work begins. The parking glands on pasteurizers arc not always kept pro erly adjust- cd. The salutary pip ng where it is used has become tinlcss in some

ed. Cream bumps are used which are inlpossible to clean properlv. because they arc taken apart only with difficulty, Puncheon tubs and casks which as a general rule be- come greasy on the interior and difficult to clean and keep clean. are used to hold the water sup- plv for washing all equipment in factory instead of a steel tank suitably constructed and easily cleaned. Rubber hose and iron pin- ing are used instead of sanitary Dining conveying cream to churn. A special wash water tank for t churn is onlv in a few creamerles. Steam and water valve leaks are prevalent; water supply tanks ore

r amo of washing and paint-

. The ice storages have been found with mould on walls and ceiling. The drainage is not run- ning freely at two or three cream- orles. There are rusty cans used which should now be replaced with new ones. The exterior surround- lags need attention in the manner of ma g them attractive and the exterior of buildings need paint or whitewash. Moisture scales, cream scales, and print scales should be in proper closet. They would last longer and give better service being free from dampness and dust. Some of our creameries hay; been already notified about their individual requirements, and the remainder will be in the near future. Satisfactory ctr-operation would be greatly appreciated with promrit replacements and correc- tiona.

New Purchase!

It is to be hoped that creanicrv commutes throughout the Prov- ince in need of equipment Will

t t

while prices are good, and produc- tion high, otherwise they will not be able to carry on under adverse price and marketing‘ conditions.

It is difficult at present for the individual factory to get, the neg. essary tin to repair pasteurizers and vats. but arrangements have been made to get it under an order of the Department of Munitions and Supply. We trust. that we will not be disappointed in this assistance.|

For a number of years a consid- erable quantity of our cheese was graded. The sununerof1943seem- ed to be an exception. The cheese was sold officially ungraded. The prmedure worked well for the past summer because the nlarket was strong and a good demand pre- vailed. From the standpoint. of im- proving quality, the selling of: cheese unsraded is not to be ren- ommende

It is difficult because the grad- IIBE W55 not done to state defin- itely whether there was an im- tprovement in qua Not having seen the cheem fr the province in fornler years, I am not prepar- ed t0 88y. but. the greatest per- centage of what I saw in the fac- . tot-ids and storages during the summe, was of very fair quality ‘and finish was generally good. During the wann weather there

m was some slightly open in texture

at two or three factories. A tend- ency toward acid prevailed in a couple other factories in the some period. but these conditions did not prevail for the summer, It strict attention were paid gener- ally to proper cooling methods on the farm and the selection of milk 0B the Welsh stand. some of our troubles would be eliminated. Im- properly cleaned and sterilized cans together u'ltli_ rusty cans are al so a great evil. Whey tanks are a source of trouble, also the pipes and SD lit-S leading to and from them. o0 many bacteria carried into the milk by dirt at milking time. Milk sometimes too ripe BL setting; dipping with too much acid in warm weather; improper drying after dipping and not enough turning and maturing af- ter milling; the press not kcpt tight, and cheese not long enough n it. These are some of our prin- cipal defmts and are very im- portant. Almost all the cheesc were made in triplet form.

Low Price of Cheese

Owing to the low price cf cheese prevailing in the early spring and summer months, there was great uncertainty among cheese factory Companies whether or not to op- erate. This discouragement was in- creased Sffﬂili’ by the eight cents per pound subsidy on butter-fat paid to cream patrons by the Fed- eral Government. an increase of tWO cents over the previous year Notwithstanding this. ten of our cheese factories opened and al- though the pfoducticn was con- siderably below the previous year, it may be said that on the whole the cheese factories had u finan-

cially successful year.

Good grices were paid for milk. tThe hi est net value to patrons W85 $2- 0 per hundred and the lowest being $1.70 Two factories did not operate, Mr. Russell Cilant- plon s. Kensington and Murray Harbor North. The total amount of cheese made, 780,209 pounds, a decrease of 326.441 pounds or 29.4 Per cent. Average price per lb. Chmse 24.75 cts.

The subsidy of thirty cents per hundred on milk for cheese given bv the Government and applied October lst, increased the produc- tion for cheese over 1942, 333753 pounds for October and Nc cmbcr of i946.

Tile cheese factories operating were Tignish, Tyne Valley, Abra- liams Village. Grand River, Kili- ikora. Chanottetown. East River, iDundas, Gowan Brae and Dun- | staffnage.

. The maximum cheese prices were amended by an order of thc War- time Prices c" a Trade Board till June 2nd. i943.

There was some difficulty ex- perienced getting suppllgs for cheese factories. If a. wholesale. firm were consulted with reference to this, it might result in the el- imination of thLr trouble.
