One of the first importations of Holstein cattle into Quebec was made by the late Neil Sangster of Ormstown, Chateauguay County, in the early 1880's.In 1887 D.H.Brown of Glenelm, brought the first Holstein bull into Huntingdon County.That herd, now the widely-known Oakstream Farm Holstein herd.was subsequently carried on by J.A.Brown, son of D.H.Brown and is therefore not only the longest established Holstein herd in the County of Huntingdon but also one of the oldest established Holstein herds in Canada.Another veteran is the Southview herd of J.J.Murphy ôf Huntingdon.That herd was established in 1908, is therefore also one of the oldest established Holstein herds in Canada.However, the space at our disposal does not permit of our dealing here to any greater extent with either these Pioneer or Veteran herds or any of the other good district herds, several of whom are represented by their own advertisements in this \u201cBuyers\u2019 Guide\u201d.Moreover, there are at least 400 herds of Holsteins in the Club area of which some 250 of the owners of same are members of the Hol- stein-Friesian Association of Canada.Sixty of these herds are Fully Accredited (T.B.), while the balance come under the Restricted Area Plan.Calfhood Vaccination is, of course, quite largely practised in the Area herds.Most of our breeders have always paid particular attention to the selection of thelr herd sires.It therefore is that quite a large percentage of the animals in this area are closely related to the best Mount Victoria and Ray- mondale blood lines.This laudable connection having been achieved through the use of sons and grandsons of such great \u2018\u2018name\u201d sires as \u201cOld Joe\u201d (Johanna Rag Apple Pabst), Montvic Sovereign, Montvic Marksman, Montvic Rag Apple Ajax, Raymondale Abegweit Chieftain and Ray- mondale Bluejay.In the latter instance, it may be mentioned that after extensive, outstanding service in this district \u201cBluejay\u201d was selected for service with the Provincial Artificial Service project, which is centred at St.Hyacinthe, Que.; that until his death, about a year ago, his semen was subsequently widely distributed across the Province of Quebec, including the Huntingdon-Ormstown Holstein Club area.In that respect also, it may be mentioned that each year during the past several years over 400 cows in this area have been artificially bred to \u201cBluejay\u201d and other specially selected sires which comprise the Holstein \u201cbull battery\u201d at St.Hyacinthe.Mention might also be made that two sons of Houck- holm Soverign Sky Rocket have been extensively used in recent years.One of them quite extensively in Artificial breeding.Type Classification and Selective Registration, Record of Performance, etc., have also figured to quite an extent in the scheme of things in many of our breeders\u2019 herds.Another factor that has contributed to the success and progress attained by our breeders is Ormstown Exhibition.That Exhibition, which is held annually in June, is one of the largest and best of our Canadian live-stock exhibitions especially insofar as dairy cattle are concerned.As a service to prospective customers and breeders alike, the Club now has a Sale Agency.of which Leon A.Beaudin, Secretary of the Club, is Sales Agent and Manager.Members with animals for sale are therefore invited to list such animals with the Sale Manager.In turn, those seeking cattle to purchase are invited to contact Mr.Beau- din, Huntingdon, Que., either by personal call, letter or telephone (Huntingdon 330).Our herds are easily reached and are mostly beside or within short distances of our two main district highways \u2014 No.4 Malone-Montreal Highway; No.52 which connects with both Nos.7 and 9.US.Highways, from Rouses Point, Lacolle, Herdman and Chateaugay.Armand Pinsonneault, President.Huntingdon-Ormstown Holstein Club Leon A.Beaudin, Secretary.A.PINSONNEAULT President LEON A.BEAUDIN Secretary The Jersey breed of cattle has long been one of the four main dairy breeds of Canada, has been extensively established in several other districts of Quebec, for a long period of years.However, it was not until some 20 years ago that the Jersey breed became a factor in the purebred dairy cattle picture insofar as the Chateauguay Valley is concerned.That is in the Counties of Huntingdon, Chateauguay and Beauharnois.Nevertheless, during that twenty year period, and pur- ticularly so during the past few years, Jersey progress in the Chateauguay Valley has been on a very high plane.It therefore is that there are now approximately 10,000 head of Jerseys in this area.Most of the Jersey breuders in this area are young, enthusiastic newcomers to the breed, but they have already made themselves khown around the shows, etc.The Chateauguay Valley Jersey Club was formed some 15 years ago and during that time there has been evolved a number of splendid forward programmes which year after year have materially contributed to the furtherance of the breed in this area.JL One of the programmes evolved a .few years ago was provision for a Club Sire whose services would be available for the use of all Club members.The first bull obtained under that plan was a son of the \u201cSuperior Sire\u201d, Brampton Spotlight Sport, out of 'a daughter of the Silver Medal, \u201cSuperior Sire\u201d, Pinetree Magic Standard.He was followed by Springmount King's Corporal who, by the way, sired the Junior Champion female at the 1950 Royal Winter Fair, also the second prize senior heiter call in a class of 54 at last year's Royal Winter Fair.His daughters are looking very good and promising and will be coming into milk next tail.\u2018They should milk too, he's out of a Silver Creek cow tamily wilh many very good production records.A lew months agd the Club acquired the services ot anotner bull ol outstanding blood lines.He is krasea Rondin Sir Journal, pred by J.Grauer & Sols, Frasca Furm, sea ASIALUU, BL.caivea July 8, 1yol and a promusing individual, \u201cSir Journal\u201d has a weal ol record packing, His three nearest sires are all either Gold or silver Medal superior Sires, while his unmeatale alicestors were all unported trot uersey Island.His sire, Babracombe Biudle's Rondin, has been classified excellent and he is also a Gold und Silver Medal Superior Sire.\u2018tne progeny of \u201cBindle's Rondin\u201d cludes 15 ested daughters whose records average 559 lbs.fat, average (est U'.;

was eligible for entry under the Record of Performance for Dairy Cattle Plan, both of which are administered by the Department of Agriculture of Canada.Subsequent to the mainland purchases, 12 first calf heifers were purchased in Scotland.However, the Howick-Huntingdon, etc., foundation animals and their daughters still constitute a large percentage of the herd.\u2018 During the year 1950 the official R.O.P.production 48 Canadian- bred animals in the herd averaged: 11,414 lbs.milk, with an average Twenty five of these records were made in the Honour Roll or 305- day division.All were of course made under the Record of Produc-! tion Plan.It may also be of interest that the records of the 12 imported feins averaged 10,418 Ibs.milk at 4.15%.\u2014Eight of them on Honour Roll, four in 365 days.However, this is not given as a comparison because while a number of the Canadian-bred animals were still in their heifer stage, the imported animals were all in their first lactation.Figures for 1931 are not available to us, but the 1952 R.O.P.records of the herd are most interesting and gratifying indeed.butterfat test of 4.04%.e The following gives the averages of the R.O.P.records completed \u2018|during the year 1952 by 29 of the original animals purchased in the Howick-Hufitingdon area, together with the records of 12 daughters of these animals.Mature Class.Average age 5.9 years.22 animals, Average of records:\u2014 12,100 Ibs.milk, 487 bs, fat, 4.01%.17 in 305-day or Honour Roll Division;

district.Taking the pictures left to right along the top, the first is a winner in the ju- \u2019nior calf club showing at Hun- tingdon Fair and as will be seen, he has won the Kiwanis\u2018 trophy and his animal has a prize ribbon attached.The young people are greatly interested in the stock and many of them have won names for themselves and their animals.Centre is a group of curlers who have also won a trophy and it goes to à show that the citizens have other pursuits than farming.Incidentally that is the Mayor of Huntingdon who is presenting the trophy.Note the sign over their heads\u2014\u201cWelcome Visitors\u201d\u2014that means you.At the left is a sample of the fish that can be caught in the waters that abound here in rivers and lakes.Port Lewis, St.Anicet and other districts are known as the Lake Shore, cottages can be rented in this area and there is good fishing, swimming and bathing to be had.The mighty River St.Lawrence passes here and fishing rights are preserved by law so that fishermen can enjoy this sport.Many a big fish is caught here during the season.The series of pictures down the right hand side are all scenes taken at the annual Huntingdon Fair which is held in the Fall.Top shows the junior calf club with a fine showing of members and animals; next down shows the livestock parade featuring the Holsteins; third one shows the same parade featuring the Ayrshires and the last one, a group of the Jerseys during judging.Here again we see the young fry who are always deeply interested.The series on the right side show first a view of the Chateauguay River which runs through the district to the St.Lawrence.This also offers fishing opportunities to those lovers of this pastime.Second down shows the presentation of The Canadian Bank of Commerce Trophy to a local Jersey Breeder.The banks show a great interest in the Farming activities of the area and each of the two banks offer trophies for competition annually.The lower picture shows a junior exhibit being readied for showing at the Havelock Fair.This latter is a branch of the Huntingdon Agricultural Society and is known as Division \u201cB\u201d.Havelock is in the Fruit growing district of Hunting- don County and the highway leading out through the area and the district in general, is one of the scenic areas in the summer months and well worth visiting.Anyone

Shorthorns, is maintained at Howick on the farms of members of the Smith family operating under the name of Sylvan Brae Farms.This \u2018all purpose\u201d breed has proven itself in every field.The fact that they do milk is substantiated by the fact that the world record for milk production was long held by an English Shorthorn.Butterfat \u2018content of the milk is usually about 4%.The breed is also noteworthy for its high salvage value.The average animal makes an excellent beef carcass, being well filled out and the bone being fine in proportion.Even the extreme dairy type of cow, when turned dry, will flesh readily in a matter of weeks.The calves are not extraordinarily large at birth but they do well on the feed given and grow rapidly.The bulls are noted for their potency and are great improvers when used for cross-breeding purposes.The Sylvan Brae herd, though founded in 1946, is built up from the best stock available from the best herds in Canada.The original purchase was a young bull, Kilwin Renown, a son of Neralcam Renown MILKING SHORTHORNS Herd of Howick the famous Maclaren herd at Buckingham, Que.Four heifers, including Stanham Erika, were then purchased from E.G.Hampson of Ste.Therese, Que.Five additional females of this breeding were bought at and following the dispersal of this great herd, including Stan- ham Elsie W.5th.a daughter of the imported bull, Wicklesham Lord Wildeyes.The Wild Eyes strain is widely sought after and much in demand in England at the present time.This cow bore service to another imported bull, Almer Cavalier 6th.which sold to Traynor Farms in Wisconsin.The calf proved to be a bull and this bull, Sylvan Brae Almer Cavalier, has been used extensively in the Sylvan Brae herd.Other herds represented at Sylvan Brae are the Northlynd herd of George Jackson & Son of Downs- view, Ont.including one of the famous Matchless family, the Cor- garf herd of the late A.J.Mitchell of Richmond Hill, Ont, the Mill- haven herd of J.B.Miller of Georgetown, Ont.and the Amoslea herd of T.C.Amos of Moffat, Ont.Bulls in use at the present time include, Sylvan Brae Sir Red Cherry.a grandson of Wicklesham Lord Wildeyes by the same

Breeders\u2019 Association of the United States) Franklyn C.Beatty, Walla Walla, Wash., US.A,, gave the Ayr- shires he had purchased in the Howick-Huntingdon Ayrshire Club Area for Walla Walla Valley Farmers a nice boost.In that respect we may say that during the past three years or so Mr.Beatty has made several trips to the Howick-Huntingdon -Ayrshire Club area.Each time he purchased there, with but one exception, a railway carload of Ayrshire heifers.The exception being his first trip when he took back a large traller- truck load of heifer calves.On the way out from Walla Walla the truck carried a load of apples which were sold In Detroit, Mich.from whence the journey was continued to How- ick, Que.In his article in The Digest, Mr.Beatty wrote in part, as follows: \u201cAlert to use only the very best breeding stock in their Ayrshire herds, Walla Walla breeders have lately been selecting mostly Cana- lon bloodlines.At present they have in service five bulls which have never been defeated in the showing.The dams of all but one of these sires have records (actual) exceeding 411 lbs.fat.A full sister to the sire of one of those bulls recently completed a Canadian record of 16,170 lbs.milk, 569 lbs.fat.Regarding the Glen Xralman herd of Walla Walla, Mr.Beatty wrote: \u201cHis current herd sire is Burnside Trans-Canada, bred by R.R.Ness & Sons.Howick.A notable addition to this herd was made a year or 50 ago with the purchase of 22 yearling heifers from the How- ick-Huntingdon area of Quebec.These heifers have recently begun to freshen and look most promising.\u201d With reference to the herd of A.F.Fulgham & Sons, Mr.Beatty wrote: \u201cThey were grade breeders until 1947 when they selected a number of purebred heifer calves from R.R.Ness & Sons, Howick, Que.\u201d (Editor's note: This was the truck load already referred to).\u201cA carload of 21 yearling heifers were purchased by this firm through Gilbert MacMillan, Huntingdon (and Mr.Beatty) about a year ago.\u201d Foot-Mouth Outbreak Halts Livestock Imports From Scotland OTTAWA, February 9, 1953 \u2014 Because of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease in Aberdeenshire.Scotland, the Canada Department of Agriculture announced that no permits for the importation of swine, or cattle, sheep and other ruminants from Scotland or other parts of Great Britain will be issued until further notice.The annuoncement was made by Dr.T.Childs, the Department's veterinary director - general, who added that it would be unlikely permits would eb issued for at least six months after Scotland had been declared free of foot and mouth disease.Canada has issued no permits for importation of these animals from England for many years, but they have been Imported through Scotland's quarantine station at Glasgow until now.The Cow vs.The Auto \u201cFrom the point of view of national policy we treat our automobile better than we do our dairy cow,\u201d said H.H.HAnnam, president of the CFA, in a recent address before the New Brunswick Far- \u2018mers\u2019 Association at Fredericton.\u201cWe seem to have little appreciation of the real value of the dairy cow in our.national economy.We hold the price of automobiles artificially high by tariff protection \u2014 even though we have found that we do not need it for farm tractors.\u201cWe placed an outright ban against the importation of .used automobiles in 1930 and have held it there in the face of all the public opposition there- was to the ban on a substitute product for Datter.We pay men far higher wages per hour for making autos that we pay dairy farmers and skilled farm laborers for milking cows.In one case we pay high overtime wages for weck-ends when they work, but nothing in the other case.\u201cYet in this modern age the dairy cow is the best and oldest forage harvesting machine on the market.She is equipped with a mower and grinder on one end and a manure spreader on the other In between is an extremely complex and highly efficient manufacturing plant specially designed for the conversion of large quantities of pasture, silage and hay into nature\u2019s most nearly perfect food \u2014 milk.\u201d Predicts Good Trade In Jerseys Speaking at the annual meeting of the Middlesex County Jersey Club, on January 17, John Bull of the firm of B.H.Bull & Son, Brampton, Ontario, predicted a brisk demand for dairy cattle when the US.embargo is lifted.He had travelled over a good part of the Republic in recent months and found the situation such that Canadian cows and heifers, in his opinion, will be in keen demand.Jamaica.too, he said.will take some Jersey bulls \u2014 perhaps 30 yearly.One guy who sure lives off the fat of the land is the girdle manufacturer.HOLSTEIN Club Exponents of the Holstein-Friesian breed \u2018of cattle in the Huntingdon- Ormstown Holstein Club area are naturally rather proud of the fact that several farmers of that area rank as amongst the pioneers of their breed in the Province of Que- ebc; in fact, in all Canada.According to Professor Reaman\u2019s \u201cHistory of the Holstein Breed of Cattle in Canada\u201d.the first Hols- tein-Friesians to enter Canada came to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1881.It is similarly recorded that Holstein- Friesians were first introduced into Ontario and Quebec in 1882, also from the United States.Also according to that history, Neil Sangster of Ormstown, in Cha- teauguay County, established his Pleasant Valley herd in 1886.He was therefore the \u201cPioneer\u201d Holstein breeder of not only Chateauguay County, but also of the entire district now known as the Huntingdon- Ormstown Holstein Club area (Counties of Chateauguay, Hunting- don and Beauharnois), probably of all Quebec.As time went on, the Pleasant Valley herd gained in stature and at the time of Neil Sangs- ter's death, in 1930, it had become one of the best-known Holstein herds in Canada.The Pleasant Valley herd was carried on for several years after Neil Sangster\u2019s death by his son-in-law, Sam Cullen, and is Still carried on by Douglas Glover, in turn, à son-in-law of Sam Cullen, Next in rank as a Holstein \u201cPioneer\u201d in the present Club area and the first in Huntingdon County was the late D.H.Brown of Glenelm.In 1887, Mr.Brown journeyed across the ice-bound St.Lawrence to the vicinity of Lancaster, Ontario, where he purchased the Holstein bull named Lord Byron 10th (No.77 in |the Canadian Holstein - Friesian \"Herd Book).That bull was trekked \u201cacross the ice-bound St.Lawrence in a sleigh from Lancaster, Ontario, to either St.Anicet or Dundee on the Quebec side, and from thence to Glenelm.Says Professor Reaman: | \u201cThis bull was a wonderful animal CHAMPION Ormstown Exhibition.Exhibition and

Helped Establish the Holstein Breed in the Huntingdon-Ormstown Area for type and production and did much to make a good impression for Holsteins in the district.Later he was bought by Neil Sangster\u201d.Incidentally, J.A.Brown informed this writer that his father paid $150.for Lord Byron 10th, same being considered a ridiculously high price in those days.In fact, several ertiies voiced their opinoins that, in doing so, D.H.Brown was crazy.Professor Reaman also devotes an interesting item regarding J.A.Brown, son and successor of D.H.Brown and present owner of Oak- stream Holstein herd.He writes: \u201cIn 1893, Mr.Sangster gave J.A.Brown, then a small boy, a heifer calf, Lily Dale 2nd 1084.After 60 years the blood of this cow is still in the Brown herd\u201d.It is not our intent.nor do we have the space available to relate the continuous forward-breeding projects of.the two they have used, the many noted Browns, the many well-known sires animals they have bred, retained in the herd or sold to others.The latter to district and other herds in Canada, to the United States, South America, South Africa and New Zea- land, ete.In view of the many top animals tha} have been bred in the Oak- stream herd, have either been retained in that herd or sold to others, one wonders why J.À.Brown never qualified as & \u201cMaster Holstein Breeder\u201d.That is in a \u201cdocumentary\u201d way as he is indeed a \u201cMaster Breeder\u201d in a practical way in every sense.of that term.We understand, however, that the fault lies with J.A.Brown and several of those who purchased top animals from him.That is because they either neglected collecting the necessary documentary evidence or else neglected to have classified, ete., certain of the animals that would have been concerned.Also in the \u201cPioneer\u201d class is J.J.Murphy of Southview Farm, Hunt- ingdon, Que., who was honoured in 1952 by being awarded a \u201cMaster Breeder Shield\u201d by the Holstein- Friesian Association of Canada.The highest honour that can be awarded by that Association.It was in 1905, that J.J.Murphy started off with 8 herd of grade Holsteins and it was in 1909 that he purchased his first purebred Holsteins.Incidentally, the first of the foundation cows was Mercedes Beauty 2nd while the first herd sire was Duke Posch (from Neil Sangster).The blood of both of these animals still being represented in the Southview herd.Among the good sires used by J.J.Murphy were Francy Ormsby of Crystal Spring, son of the 3 times All-American sire Sir Francy Mercedes Burke, and Raymondale Blue Jay.It therefore is that it might be said that the animals in the Southview herd combine the Burke and Rag Apple blood lines.In brief, Southview has long been an outstanding producer of high class seed-stock.Likewise a prominent winner at Ormstown Exhibition.Quebec Provincial Exposition and at that ilk, some of them mentioned by Professor Reaman, others unfortunately ignored by him, Amongst those mentioned by the Professor, and justifiably so, were (the late) H.T.(\u201cHerb\u201d) Cunningham and W.L.(\u201cBill\u201d) Carr, both of Huntingdon.Holstein history has also been made by everal other breeders of district Fairs.Under the name \u201cButternut Grove\u201d, Herb Cunningham devel oped a fine herd of Holsteins that.up to the time of its dispersal, made considerable Holstein history.It was in the year 1898 that Herb's father bought his first purebred Holstein bull, of Neil Sangster breeding.In 1902 Herb returned to the farm after which he and his father developed a real good grade Holstein herd, with winners at Huntingdon and Otawa.In 1912, Herb Cunningham purchased his first purebred, founded the Butternut herd which subsequently became a top herd until its dispersal sale in 1945.The history we have been referring to makes but very brief reference to W.L.(\u201cBill\u201d) Carr, does not even mention the name of the herd.That is \u201cBrackenglade\u201d, which was founded in 1922 and which was in existence as a very material Holstein factor until 1941, Personally W- L.Carr made a great contribution, in an administrative way, to the breed as a whole.He was elected as a director of the Holstein - Friesian Association of Canada in 1930, served as 4th Vice President in 1981; 2nd Vice-Presi- Continued on page 14 Tu RES Te TR

concerned in Canada is to all intents and purposes on the same basis as that of the United States, excepting that in Canada such T.B.tests are entirely under the jurisdiction of the Federal Government, or rather the Department of Agriculture of Canada.That is the Provincial Governments do not, as in the case of the various States comprising the United States, have any jurisdiction whatsoever insofar as T.B testing is concetned.Therefore in Canada, the testing and certification of Tuberculosis-Free Ac- ed Area and Supervised Herd Plans are administered by the Health of Animals

since those herds were founded.ACCREDITED AREAS A few years after the T.B.Accredited Herd Plan had been launched and in successful operation, the Restricted Area Plan (usually referred to as Accredited Areas) was instituted.It therefore is that all the cattle im the Counties of Chateauguay, Huntingdon and Beauharnols, irrespective of whether they are purebreds or grades, are listed under either the Accredited Herd Plan or the Restricted Area Plan.In that respect also, we may add that the three counties concerned have been classed as Restricted Areas since 1924, As in the case of those under the Accredited Herd Plan Cattle from Restricted Areas are eligible for export to the United States.VITAL STATISTICS Huntingdon Sub-Division, Health of Animals Division Restricted Area Plan Herds

Canada, was the first Area to be tested under the Tubercul- osis-Area Test Plan.Likewise the first to be listed, in 1924, as a Restricted Area.The Huntingdon Sub-Division is comprised of the Counties of Chateauguay, Huntingdon an Beauharnois.\u2018 \u2018There are, of course, a considerable number of herds in these three counties which are under the Accredited Herd Plan.Cattle from Restricted

and cheese, but increasing quantities of processed milk are being manufactured and the production of casein is higher now than % it was before the war, reports R.§ W.Blake, Agricultural Secretary, Department of Trade and Cem- merce, Melbourne, Australia, The number of dairy cows in milk at January 31, 1951 was 1,888,000 compared with 1,850,000 in 1950 and 1,724,000 in 1939.These are about 85 per cent of \u201chigher grade\u201d Jersey breeding, resulting from three to five generations of top-crossing of pure bred Jersey sires with Shorthorn, Friesian and Ayrshire COWS.Whole milk production has risen during the past few years because of good seasons ahd of more cows being in milk.Dairying in New Zealand hus many advantages which enable production to be carried on at probably the lowest cost level in the *|world.The temperate climate, eliminating the need for buildings, and making it possible for an almost continuous growth of pasture § throughout the year, as weil as the highly mechanized nature of the dairy farms and factories\u2014these are the principal features contributing § to the success of the industry.Pastures, once established and mere or less permanent, requiring only occasional harrowing and top-dress- ing with fertilizers.Nevertheless, the land is lacking in phosphorous and annual top-dressing with superphosphate is necessary.Serious production losses have occurred in the past due to dry seasons, but improved farm management practices should reduce these losses in future droughts.Improved pastures and greater conservation of feed supulles by silage-making and rationed grazing are proving effective as a means of reducing production losses.The use of peni-# cillin for mastitis, and vaccination against contagious abortion are factors contributing to increased production.The importance of the dairy industry to the economy of New Zealand is suéh that it has become & highly specialized undertaking}y from the farm to the marketing of the produce.Total production has risen in recent years and more byproducts, such as casein and dried milk powder, are being manufactured.This has caused more but- 8 terfat to be used for butter-making BE with less going into cheese manu- fé facture.How far this trend will gop depends on the relative prices ford butter and cheese.Cheese prices MB\" are brought more into line with | butter prices and will no doubt help correct the trend away from fg cheese production.a The industry is particularly stable at the present time and it has a\u201d large stabilization account which can be used to cushion the effects à of any fall in prices which may oc- | cur.Purther additions to this fund are not being made; the farmers | and dairy factories (all of which are co-operatives) are receiving the full proceeds from the sale of dairy products after administration costs have been deducted.3 It is difficult to see how any fur- À ther reduction in costs of produc- \u2018 tion can be achieved through in- ; creased mechanization either on the : farm or at the factory, but improve- § ments in the yield per cow are still 3 possible and are being tackled § through herd testing, pasture im- 4

reputation among Canadian and United States dairymen.Standards and quality have in no way been affected by the outbreak of Foot and Mouth Disease which occurred a year ago \u2014 2,000 miles away in the Province of Saskatchewan.The enforcement of a strict quarantine and other preventative measures under the Animal Contagious Diseases Act confined the disease to a small area in that province.It was completely \u201ceradicated and Canada declared free of Foot and Mouth Disease on Aug.19, 1952.The Canadian Government appreciates the confidence of the United States Government in our health regulations and policies shown by the announcement that the embargo on livestock from Canada will be lifted on March 1, 1953.Breeding programs have been carried on as usual during the time the United States border was closed.As a result, United States buyers will find in Canada a good selection of all classes of dairy animals available to replenish their herds.| r Buyers may be assured that

Department of Agriculture of Canada (through its Health of Animals Division) and the United States Customs and Bureau of Animal Industry, respectively, etc, insofar as cattle exported from Canada to the United States are concerned.These musts include, that no purebred dairy cattle can be exported from Canada to the United States or elsewhere beyond Canada unless they are accompanied by certificates with respect to their being free from T.B.and Bangs (Bru- cellosis).In the latter instance, that they so conform to the regulations of the State or.States concerned.All of which certificates are issued by the Health of Animals Division, in the case of tHis district by the Sub-District office at Huntingdon.All purebred animals exported as such must be accompanied by registration certificates, showing on same the names and addresses of the United States purchasers.The onus with respect to furnishing all of the above and other necessary export certificates rests with the seller.However, there are seldom any undue delays in obtaining the necessary certificates if the applications for same are promptly made by the sellers.The Health of Animals Division Sub-District Officer at Huntingdon is always most prompt and co-operative with respect to the issuance of the necessary health certificates.Similarly, so is the Holstein-Friesian Association of Canada, insofar as Holsteins are concerned; Canadian National Live Stock Records insofar as all other purebred cattle are concerned.As needs be, the sellers are invariably prompt and co-operative in securing the necessary certificates, thereby expediting the export shipment of the cattle sold by them.However, there are in this district a number of reputable breeders who act as agents for United States and other buyers and who thereby materially assist not only the sellers but also, particularly so, the purchasers.In practice, these agents are available to act as guides for prospective buyers.Some of them of course, specialize in one particular breed, but most of them are not averse to guiding any buyer who wishes to obtain animals of another breed.In that respect, we may say that they are probably just as well acquainted with that other breed or breeds, as they are with their own favourite breed; are well acquainted with the district and the herds thereof, irrespective of the breed concerned.These agents look after the collection of the necessary certificates and can arrange for the payment of the animals (on behalf of the buyer).They can also arrange for the shipment of such purchases by rail or truck, including the collection of the animals concerned, fitting of railway cars or trucks, feed, etc, necessary for the trip.Likewise, if neegls be, they can supervise the clearance of such shipments at the United States border.With respect to transportation\u2014 Canadian National Railways has shipping facilities at Howick, Orm- stown and Huntingdon, while the New York Central Railway has a station at Huntingdon.A number of district Truck owners have trucks which are specially adapted for export shipments of cattle.In the pre-embargo days several of these truckers made frequent deliveries down through the New England States, and to several States beyond, even as far as Florida.Much Hay Exported From District As befits a \u2018district which ranks high in an agricultural way, several sections in the counties of Chateau- guay and Huntingdon are noted for the high quality hay they produce.A great percentage of that hay having been exported in former years to the United States.Clover and Alfalfa hay have of course been in greatest demand, but nevertheless the nice green Timothy and Alsike for which the district is noted, has likewise found a ready market.Probably the largest dealer in hay in this district is Donald E.Black, M.P., Aubrey, Que.However, there are several others who handle such shipments while a considerable number gf farmers sell direct to US.farmers.We understand that most of the hay which is available at present is already baled and ready for shipment or can readily be baled at short notice.US.Still Intends To Lift Cattle Embargo March 1 WASHINGTON, (AP)\u2014The Agriculture Department said recently, it still plans to re-open United States borders to imports of Canadian cattle beef and related \u2018products on March 1.An embargo was placed on Canadian products of this kind a year ago when foot-and-mouth disease was discovered among cattle in Western Canada.With the disease apparently eliminated, the Agriculture Department announced several months ago that the embargo would be lifted March 1 unless there was a new outbreak in the meantime.There has been none.The office of Agriculture Secretary Ezra Benson said that the original decision still holds.There had been speculation that the date for lifting the embargo might be postponed in view of recent sharp declines in U.S.cattle prices.However, the US.is committed under a trade agreement to permit a quantity of Canadian cattle and meat to be sent into the US.Officials said this quantity is equal to less than three percent.of U.S.pro- duction, Farm Woodlots Can Be Valuable The farm woodlot is often overlooked as a source of revenue and particularly as a continuing asset through the years.Compared with the other work on a farm the handling of a woodlot is fairly simple, but there is need for a reforestation or conservation plan to®obtain the best results.Most farm woodlots need what is termed an improvement cutling in which comparatively useless species or malformed and dying trees are removed to make way for the growth of better species or more thrifty trees.The wood from this improvement cutting is usually neither large nor merchantable as logs.It should be used as fuelwood either on the farm or sold on a local market where it will often bring good prices.The woodlot should be worked or reforested so that it will produce both high quality and low valued products.Yellow birch, maple, pine and spruce, when grown to maturity.will yield high quality logs for which there is a ready market.The tops of both mature hardwood and softwood trees will yield a large amount of fuelwood which should be harvested when the logs are cut.At this time any young or small trees broken or injured when felling the mature timber should also be eut.\u2019 Cattle Buyers\u2019 Guide Page 19 Near-Bedlam at Supermarket Selling N.Z.Steak at 39 Cents COLUMBUS, O., (AP)\u2014House- wives who lost out on an opportunity to buy round, sirloin and T- bone steaks for 39 cents a pound one day got another chance the next.The Metz Supermarket sold 7,000 pounds of New Zealand beef for that price.The sales provoked a near-bed- lam.Police were called to control the crowd.Mrs.Mabel K.Metz, owner of the supermarket, said \u201cwe were swamped\u201d as she and 12 clerks ran themselves ragged waiting on customers who spent $3,900.The store ordinarily does about $800 worth of business on Sunday, she said.Louis McClaren, manager of the meat department, said: \u201cIf I had had 1,000,000 pounds of imported beef I could have sold every Inst pound of it.\u201d McClaren sald he made a profit on the meat, purchased from a Chicago packer.The meat was probably part of a shipment of 60.- 000,000 pounds of frozen New Zea- land beef shipped to the United States vin Canada last September.In Washington, John Heimbur- ger, counsel for the House Agriculture Committee.said last week only about one-third of the New Zea- land beef had buen sold and the rest was stored in Chicago.He said Agriculture Department officials think the beef is competitive only with lower American grades.New Synthetic Tire Treads May Outlast Automobile Itself à

Before the new synthetic rubber can he made for wide use, however, Stand improvement of the farm woodlot at the time of harvesting is a logical step in woodlot management.This need not be done all at once, but when felling each mature tree the stand for a good distance around should be culled to remove useless members of the stand.In time the whole woodlot will be in shape for greatest growth.Cared for systematically over thé years the farm woodlot can be a source of considerable revenue, but if left untended it will soon become overgrown and of little value processing of the

Dr.R.P.Dinsmore, Goodyear research head, said.He said the German rubber must be molded into the finished article immediately after it is chemically composed, whereas rubber can be delayed.Attention

correspondence just as does any other line of business endeavour.The farmer who feels his herd of cattle is better than average, and has justified reasons to feel his stock should command good prices, he in turn should most certainly have a supply of printed letterheads and envelopes on hand.When you have occasion to write a letter pertaining to your cattle, or form, an attractively printed
