He maintained there was no such company in Canada. as the North Wiltshire Dairy Company as u. result. It, is a cheese factory, he added. The Central Creameries is a joint stock company the some as the others and for this reason should not have to pay the Provincial tax, he concluded. Mr. W. L.

The basic feed should be supplied on their own farms. he maintained. Mr. I. J. MacDonald, President. in his opening remarks welcomed Mr, But erlurd Dairy Superin- ‘enrlem of N. B. He traced the production of but- ter fat in the Province over a per- iod of years which showed a grad- ual increase ‘vith the exception of last year when many obsfncles af- fected tivo pi duction.

"At present we are at the mercy of the Inspector in the mut- ter of receiving bonuses" he added. A cold stor e would be alright in some central n ace but there was no need of such a plant up until the present time. he continued, If we are not going to sell the cheese our- selves there would be no need of a cold storage as the business men would handle the product. he said.

Cream mading is - wavs diflcult because it is ha-rd to Ilet graders to maintain uniform- ity. Competition among the cream- eries. is one of the reasons for this: competition among the truck driv- ers is a contributing factor also. New Brunswick has e larger home Province, the speaker claimed. A large ousnfitv ls also stripped to Nova scotip. It was necessary for the chese factories to get assistance from the Government to pievent them from going out of business. He stressed the need of supplying the home market with dairy products. New Brunswick last year man- ufactured the same amount of cheese as this Province. he claim- ed. They produced 556,000 pounds. He spoke of the success of cheese auctions held in New Brunswick. This system of marketing the pro- duct. has fallen off during the last few years, Some of the salesmen would not stick together and sold below mar- ket prices and this was the len- son for the decline, he continued. Cooperative Plan The factories are trying to work out a cooperative plan for the mar- keting of cheese. Legislation to form a Natural Products Con- trolling Act was passed by the Government. It is a compulsory plan but depends on the voluntary vote of the factories. The majority of patrons of the cheese factories had to vole in favor of going into the scheme. The majority of the factories voted in favor of the Cheese Marketing plan. he said. This legislation provides that all the cheese marketed in the Pro- ‘vlnoe must be done through the Board he said. The Province has been supply- ing fhe local markets with cheese under this plan but none has been exported. A marked improvement has re- sulted in New Brunswick because it. was graded under proper condi- tions, he calmed. The cold storage for cheese in the Province where the product is cured has proven e great benefit, Mr. Sutherland declared. ‘Ilho only salavtion for small plants in New Brunswick is coop- eration. lvlir.

Davies. Dairy Producer Grader. Moncton, submitted the following report: Butter Inst year our records show 767,240 pounds of butter graded for Prince Edward Island 78.016 per cent. of this graded first grade, he previous year. 20.9 per cent graded second grade. and 1.01 per cent graded third grade. The grad- ing of butter was only done through the summer months. and perhaps is not a fair showing. al- though the percent of first grade is nearly as hi h as any of the other rovinces. I think Manitoba being be highest with arolnd 86.97 per cent first grade. next Alberta showing 80.45 per cent first grade. and il-r average for Canada showing 79 62 ner cent first grade, a decrease of 0.51 per cent in first grade from the previous year. ed as p follow-up on the calf club, ing production record befor- 5 testing association will be éénfill lomt i GUAR DI RONICLE Most Refreshing Of All Beverages T is ti: most - "wean! d! aD ‘When n . u feel tired not-hing "picks ou DD” cup of en.

You will likely remember as well as I do that in 1938 there were only a few factories making cheese for export, and the export cheese "ere the only cheese offered for grading, and again the factories exporting in i938 selected the vats for the cheese and only offering their best cheese for grading. Even with this care, there were some culls, and in the Prince Edward Island grading reports before 1939, the reports show cheese as low as no grade. In 1939 when practically sill cheese were offered for grading, you had quite a. gercentage of first grade, on more than that. quite c percentage high en- ough to get the bonus. Prince Ed- ward Island last season received $1,998 93 in bonuses, with New Brunswick receiving only about half of that. 'I‘his is a very good showing, but with all this. there is lots of room for improvement as was shown by Mr, Hicks during his cheese short course in Char- own. Bonus On Cheese I don't know whether the bonus- ing of cheese will be carried on this year or not, but if it will be bonused again this year, it is worth vhfle trying for: although Prince Edward Island did very well from the bonus. perhaps they could do better as I noiioe one of the On- tario fsctories received as much as 51.44.21 cnts per box premium last year. I haven't. the figures on hand to show just how near Prince Ed- ward Island came to this. Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deput Min- ister of Agriculture, said hat the three Departments of Agriculture in the Muritimes should have fre- quent, conferences. There is a great deal of pes- simism at. present in reference to the outlook for marketing of farm products. He advised the farmers to get, away from this state of mind as there was better prices for hogs since bacon prices have been fixed. Tile p:lce of feed is said to be high but. it is not so much higher than other years he declared. He referred to the statements made in March saying that there would be u. scarcity o fodder but the outlook for clover is good and the outlook for production in other lines should make us optimistic. The economic blockade against the enemies of this country made it necessary for Greet Britain to buy from other European coun- tries to revent Germany from ob- taining ese supplies. Need Greater I‘: duetion Greater production will be need- ed to help suppfy the United King- dom wiih the necessary ‘ tuffs. This will be more necessary to protect the Empire than mere dol- liars’ and cents, he said. "We who are left home have e great service to perform by sup- plying the necessary food stuffs to help in the war," he said. "Viewing the present world condition. and our position in the Empire, we must look on the mat- ter of production not in terms of clollais and ccnis but. in terms of our own preservation and salva- tion." he continued. He advised farmers against a gloomy outlook, and stressed the need of courage in the mutter cf increasing production. Guard a- gainst. panic and build up herds and other industries into a strong and flexibie condition so that. they can be expanded as quickly as the demand of the Empire requires. was his advice. $.64 per cent less first grade than ' Supplies Committee He told of the formation of the Provincial supplies Committee fr. the Province to work out the pro- duction enterprises of agriculure. He asked for the cooperation of every farmer in the country to help build up production in an en- deavor to help the llnnpire.

"The year of 1939" Mr. Brenton reported “was altogether a trying time for the dairy industry in this Province. Although lt. closed with a goodly supply of fodder, and cattle went into the stables in very good condition, expectations were held for an increased production of dairy products. the sudden drop in butler prices seemingly b ought. about that. indifferent feeling a- mong producers which always ends in a pronounced lowering in pro- duction. This with the exception- ally dry season leaves our butter production at 1,924,855 pounds and our cheese production at 464,731 pounds. “The Federal Government's scheme of assistance to the cheese in- dustry by the bonus system of ell cheese grading 93 and 94 score or better, caused a. considerable num- ber fo change from cream produc- tion to the cheese factories. Yet. at the seasons close. the prices paid for whole milk were, to sav the least. very disappointing and under present arrangements, it is s very doubtful proposition for this . will be well advised to consider eve angle of the business before making any changes. Lot creamery patrons stay with the croameries and the cheese factory patrons stay with the cheese factories “This overlapping and long haul charges must eventually come from the milk pail. The net results. not alluring promises, are what really count. "Rcferenoe was made to the death on April 16th of Mr. W. N. Jenkins of Bedeque, as n. serious loss to the Association and to every good endeavour for Island agricul- tural advancement, Safesmanshlp of butter and cheese "seems to continue the real bugbear," Mr, Brenton reported The larger proportion of Island butter is sold in Nova Seotia and the markets there in 1939, were. to say the least, not encouraging: until we have a. IVGII-OTEIIIIEZOG sales agency including our entire output of the Province shipments, we shall continue to receive prices not in keeping with those of Nova Scotia creamcries. “The importation of vegetable oil and its use to replace butt/er is having a rcsl detrimcntnl effect on our butter price levels. The gid- vertlsing and advanced IIIRTRPDIIIQ’ [policies of those int-crested in such |is a strong factor in the Amazing, jncrcase in the products mncle from y |such vegetable oils the re-, placing of butter, In other words. , ‘It Pays to Advertise.” General Corrdliions “In the greater number of cases. the conditions of our creamc-rlcs. cheese factories and pasteurizing_ plants are in high slandine.“ the Superintendent stated. While a small number are long overdue for a complete overhauling. per- haps a rcal closing up would be the most advisable course to follow. Few chanues were made durlnit the year." A brief review of the chang- es lvns given. Efmphasized as a serious problem was the checking of cream grad- ing at the different creamerles. So many creumeries receiving cream at the same time on the same day adds to the difficulty in the fo‘- lolv-up that is nbsolutclv necessary that real results mny ensue. The great/er maturity of the op- erators were willing to co-operatc in this work and hope was’ ex- ressed that all would sec the utility of trying to evade the “Cu-cam Grading Act", Cream And Milk Check Testing “The policy of cream and milk check testing wns consistently fol- lowed. up and I am piensed to be able i0 report. that IKWFI‘ have I been privileged before to be so sat- isfied with the work lwrformcd. I wLsh to compliment th-P factory operators on their capability and efficiency in this particular line oi’ work," Mr, Brenton said. Educational Buticr Grading 'I‘his year arrangements were made to grade at Charlottetown in the dairy room at the Agricul- tural I-Iall and at the Perfection Dairy in Summer-side each week The sample packages were collect- ed and delivered back at. the Creamery the next day with the report of grading. Mr. W. F. Rog- erson of the Federal Grading Staff. the official grader was commcncled upon his valuable ILRSLQIQHCE in this work. In many instances. the grading showed that the operators or butter-makers were not strictly adhering to the brst interests of producing a high grade product These defects were pointed out to each Offending partv and it is hoped that. next your will soc a mfrketi improvement. in quality of Island product. Buiicr The total amount of butler man- ufactured in the Province was, ac- cording io ihc Dominion Bureau of Statistics, 1,924,855 pounds n decrease as compared with 193B of 630.929 pounds. Reasons for this large decrease wezc tilc Znw price cf butter during the winter months and the exceptionally dry summer causing the pastuzcs to practicaly dry up. “This year clearly demonstrated that every dairy farmer should make some rovlsion for supplemen- iarv silccucnts lo offs-rt pasture shortage. The show-I'll in cur dr- crease in make would be much worse only for the practical firm- ing policy of n small mrccrtnize nf our farmers who saw to it that they had a goodly supply of home- grown succulents. We cannot. hope coming year and I believe patrons’- m'k pi to produce milk and l '0- .llcl.s on too high a percenwflfi 01 imported feeds," Mr. Brenton in- SlSLBd. ‘The quality of our butter was well maintained against adve;se circumstances. Cream grading and butter grading must be more gen- erally accepted end put into every- l day practice that Prince Edward l Island butter may be profitably l produced." ‘ Cheese Eight cheese factories were in operation during the year, namely, Abrams Village, Dundas. East Riv- er. Grand River, Gowan Brae, l-llllsboro. Kinkora and Tignish, the total pounds manufactured were 464,713. an increase over 193s ofI 14.774 pounds. "The enforcing of the ruling of the Dominion Department of Agri- l culture that. cheese can only be. gzaded at certain assembling‘ points designated as grading cen- tres. caused considerable extra ex- pense, and probably a. lowering - the grade received. inasmuch | as we had no proper assembling storage for export cheese on the‘ Borden line of railway. Proper facilities are available at Char- Iotietown and Summerside and should be made regular use of to preserve the quality of our pro- duct. The establishment of n proper. cold storage on the Borden line was f suggested. ' The average price received for cheese was 1206c per nd, the average price aid for one hundred pounds of mik was . Until there is something more definite, as to prices, insurance rates, war. risks. etc, it would be advisable not to be too rash in making ‘o0 many changes for an increased make in cheese. Reference was made to other activities. Mr. H. J. MiwCoi-nlsck, maker at. Dundas Factory, wim first place in the Dominion Grading Service with an average score of 91.989 and won a combined shaving set donated by the J. B, Ford Wyan- dotte Products through their re- presentative, Mr. W. J. Wilson of Montreal. "Our grading scores under whet may be considered adverse circum- stances are very creditable indeed," Mr. Brenton reported. willing to do all in their poucr to contribute to the Empire's efforts.
