VITAMINS Eon

DAIRY CATTLE Recent research has shown that dairy cattle usually do not suffer from vitamin deficiencies when good rations are fed. De- ficiencies of one or two of the vitamins may occur in stock that are not properly fed. Some of the vitamins are of special in-

and are important inhuman nu— trition, A few of the more im- portant vitamins will be discus- sed in relation to normal nu-, trition or milk composition. Vitamin A—Although essential for growth, health and reproduc- tion, is especially important in- preventing infections of the mu— cous membranes of the respira- tory and digestive systems. Car- otene, a color pigment found in

the green leaves of plants, is the ’

original source of Vitamin A in

When cows are on green past- ure, their milk is richer in color and higher in vitamin A. than when fed on the usual winter batons of hay and grain.

Since caroeten and vitamin A are destroyed by oxidation, fresh- ly cut hay when “exposed to the sun and rain loses part of its vitamin A postency. It is also true that hay stored in the mow may lose most of its vitamin A before spring. dairy cows fed old, colorless hay for prolonged periods may develop sysmptoms of a vitamin A deficiency. The lack of this vitamin may result in diarrhea and slow growth in calves and in the case of cows, lowered fertility and birth of weak calves. Inﬂammation of the eyelids. sore, watery eyes. sen- sitive to light and blindness are other symptoms of a vitamin A deficiency.

Vitamin B-«Orgin-ally consider- ed to be a single vitamin is now known to consist of at least three separate vitamins, namely thia- min. riboﬂavin and nicotinic acid. While there are known to be im- portant for other classes of ani- mals, they are not important for daily cattle. It may be men tioned. however. that nicotinic acid has been used to control scouts in newborn calves.

Vitamin C—Vitamin C (ascor— bic acid) prevents scurvy in man. It is not important in the feed- ing of farm animals because it has been shown that they are able to build up ascorbic acid from other substances in their feed. Some recent experiments have proven that the injection Of ascorbic acid has improved the activity and fertility of cer- tain slow breeding and low fer- tility bulls. ani has also increas- ed the fertility of cow‘s.

Vitamin D—Vi-taimin D is known as the “sunshine” or anti-rachi— tic vitamin. It is this vitamin that enables animal-s to utilize calcium and phosphorus. The need for vitamin D is high dur- ing periods of growth, and it is therefore important in the feed- ing of calves to prevent the de velopment of rickets. It is also important during pregnancy for

the normal bone development in the unborn calf, and during la- ctatimf because milk contains re— latively large amounts of cal- cium and phosphorus.

Growing plants contain little or no vitamin D, but do contain a substance known as ergosterol, which is changed to vitamin D by exposure to sunlight or ultra violet light rays. Therefore, only hays that have been exposed to sunshine can be regarded as good sources of Vitamin D. Grain-s, roots and tuber contain no Viv- tamin D. Dairy cattle usually re- ceive their vitamin D from sun-1 cured hay as well as by their exposure to sunshine. Summer- sunshine is more effective than that of the winter months in changing certain sterols in the animal tissues to Vitamin D. ‘ Milk varies in its vitamin D. content according to the amounts of Vitamin D in the ration and in' accorcance with the extent of the animal’s exposure to sun- shine. ' Summer milk contains more Vitamin D than winter milk. Con- siderable interest has been shown in the production of milk that is rich in Vitamin D. Feeding cows cod liver oil or other fish oils‘ rich in Vitamin D has been tried, but has resulted in a decrease in fat production and other undesir- able effects. The feeding of ir- radiated yeast to cow's has re- sulted in a considerable increase in the Vitamin D content of the milk.

irradiating milk with ultra vio- let light and by adding a vi- tamin rich concentrate directly to the milk are the“ usual methods employed in producing milk rich in vitamin D. These practices are, however. only justified when a special demand develops or when special marketing arrange- ments can be made.

Vitamin E—Vitamin E is the vitamin associated with reproduc- tion. All natural feeds contain this vitamin, and it is especially rich in the germ of seeds. There is little possibility of sterility in. dairy cattle arising as a result of vitamin E deficiency when- they are receiving a ration of reasonable variety and quality. While the feeding of wheat germ oil rich in-vitamin E for im-

Itution. The institution built the

proving the fertility of cows and bulls has met with some degree of success, the improvement may possibly have been derived from constitutents other than vitamin D

Certain other Vitamins have. been isolated but it has not yet been shown that they are impor- tant in the feeding of dairy cat— tie.

PLAN FIRST

Improvements and additions to your farmstead can be careful- ly and leisurely planned through the winter months if you have a reasonably accurate plan of your farm drawn on squared pa- per. It’s the best way of avoid- ing costly and irrevocable mis- takes.

Begin by either measuring or pacing distances between all per- manent structures such as, buil-

dings, fences . walks, drive- ways, roads, trees and shelter- belts. Older children can lend a

hand here. When you know exac— tly where something is located, put it down on paper. Clearly mark the object drawn by writ— ing its name beside it, or use a numbering system with a cor- responding key placed in one corner of the sheet. We suggest using a scale of 1" to equal 30 or 40 feet. .

Directions such, as north, south east and west should also be in— dicated. Keep in mind when pre— paring this plan. fancy or .com- plicated art work is entirely un- necessary. Use simple accurate drawings showing size and shape of structures and distances be- tween them.

when it hits the United States and Canada, Latin America is sure to get hurt.

And so while Canada and the U.S. are smoothly talking of re— covery, the Latins are still nurs- ing their wounds. These wounds have their implications for Cana- dian exporters and the man on the street.

The 20 Latin countries once comprised the great dream of Canadian crystal-gazers — and some hard—headed federal econo- mists. Ln earl-y postwar years. they could see in the ferment of Latin revolutions the gia of struggle of men seeking higher living standards, the world‘s top standards of the U.S. and Cam ada.

BIG TRADE POTENTIAL

There was talk of a great trade potential for Canada under the tropical sun; that Latin America

among the top buyers of Cana— dian goods.

But that was before the reces- sion. The Mook in Latin Amer- ica is not so good now. There seems to be greater political sta- bility there but e c o n o mic strength has weakened.

The trade department, in a ser- ies of articles in its foreign trade magazine, nttes that “practically all these countries are facing problems this year, differing in severity."

“The most common—and the one that touches Canadian ex- porters directly — is the foreign

particularly serious in Argentina, Bolivia. Brazil, Chile and Uru- guay, but has proved trouble some also in Colombia, Peru and Paraguay.

“Only oil-rich Venezuela and small, stable Ecuador have as-

amped-n

average of $5.93. ,

Total 1958 pmduction of straw- berries in the United States is down 2 per cent from 1957 but still 31 per cent above the 1947-56 average. Production in Califor» nia. which supplies by far the largest part of Canadian fresh imports. was up one p’er cent. Generally reduced supplies in the United States. however, brought higher average prices . on fresh markets and this was responsible for, the rise on prices on western Canadian markets in spite of in- creased British Columbia pro- duction.

The Canadian pack of frozen strawberries in 1958 was about ten million pounds, compared with seven million pounds in 1957 The pack of canned strawberries has fallen steadily since 1954, when it was 4.9 million pounds compared with 3.1 million pounds in 1958.

Total stocks of frozen straw— berries in Canada in August 1958 were 15.2 million pounds com~ pared with 12.7 million pounds a year earlier. Imports of frOZen strawberries to the end of June 1958 total 4.8 million pounds com— pared with 2.9 million pounds im~ ported during the corresponding period of 19-57.

It may take years before your farmstead looks like you want, it to. Never mind. Farmstead: planning is a long term project?

. but the end result will be a beau,1

tiful, practical place to live. STRAWBERRIES Estimates for 1958 indiéated a recovery of production in the Maritimes and Central Canada after unfavorable weather in 1957 The further increase in the Bri- tish Columbia crop still left pro- duction far below the annual average of eleven millidn quarts marketed before 1955 freeze. Total production in 1958 increaso ed 45 per cent but is still 9 per cent low the 1952-56 average. The annual average wholesale price per quart for fresh Straw-

| The Canadian hope is that Esouthern conditions are only tem- porary—lhat South America, like her northern neighbors, may be able to weather the storm. But may be some time before the Latin dream returns to Canadian eyes.

South America’s problems are Canada’s losses. In the first 10 months of 1958. Canadian exports to Latin America dropped to $147,600,000 from $183,800,000 last year.

In that same period. Canada's shipments to Europe increased slightly to $493.%0.000 from $434.- 878,000. -

Unlike some other Latin cus- tomers, Venezuela increased im- ports from Canada to $34,700,000

Trade With 50. America Runs Into Difficulties

from $29,300,000. Venezuela gets a lot of her dollars from buying

goods from sales of oil. A lot of

this oil is bought by Canada. Cut off Venezuela's oil and she may be forced to cut Off imports from Canada.

Oil shipments to Canada make a big item. Usually. Canada buys from Latin America about twice

the value of goods she sells to

this area. One product alone—oil from Venezuela — accounts for

about two-third of all Canadian

imports from the Latins.

"Next in line," says the trade department, “comes coffee from Brazil and Colombia,
