Thursday, April 3rd., 1941 THE OLDS GAZETTE Great Britain Needs More Dairy Products The Dominion of Canada has cont- racted to supply the British Ministry of Food with larger quantities of. con- densed milk and cheese during the 1941 season.. To meet Britain’s re- quirements and at the same time sup- ply the domestic markets, it is calcu- lated that. Canada must increase its milk supply by 600,000,000 pounds, or about 4% over the 1940 figures. This. means that Canada’s 4,000,000 cows must each give an extra 150 Ibs. of milk to supply this need. The Dairy Branch of the Depart- ment of Agriculture suggests the fol- lowing methods by which the produc- Bee ee. Cows inmy. be. pentianly in & 1. Conditioning dry cows now, in or- der that milk production be at a max- past grasses and legumes offers the best solution, but for 1941 it will be neces- sary to provide an annual of oats and fall rye or sweet clover to supply succulent feed during late sum- mer and early fall when native pas- tures often fail. 3. Rotating the milking herd on the best pasture available. It is suggested that the herd be divided, and the pasture separated into three séctions. Milking cows should graze €ach sec- —_—§tion—first;-to and dry stock. This will allow the third section a period of 10 days or so to produce a luxuriant growth be- fore turning in the milk cows. Electric fences offer an i thod of dividing the pasture field. INCREASE SHOWN IN MARKETING OF HOGS An increase of about 27% in swine marketings is shown for the first. ten weeks of 1941 against the first 10 weeks of 1940. The figures for the two per- iods are 1941, 287,373 and 1940, 226,490. about 35% and those of Saskatchewan have risen 74% above the marketings for the same period of 1940. An in- crease of 29% for all of Canada has occurred for the first 10 weeks. The quality of carcasses graded in Alberta is being maintained. Thirty per cent. of the carcasses graded have graded “A”, while an ‘additional 47% of those marketed to date were grad- ed “B 1.” Proper methods of feeding and mar- keting hogs at the correct weight will not only maintain the quality of pro- duction, but will yield the producer the highest financial returns. 4.
