The dairy cattle business and the Holstein breed in particular were a subject which held the Rotarians‘ rapt interest on Monâ€" day evening when they were addressed by Holstein Field Man for Western Otario, Gordon Bell. If any Rotarian was not aware of the impact which the Holâ€" stein has had on Canada‘s agriâ€" cultural economy in the past fifty years, he was certainly enâ€" lightened from the facts and figures which Gordon delivered in a very concise and capable way.. He reminded them first that the greatest concentration of cattle anywhere in North America is right here in the triâ€" county region of Perth, Oxford and Middlesex. He did however, qualify this assertion by pointâ€" ing out that the dairy cow is fast disappearing from where urban development is taking place. For instance in Essex County and also in Elgin Counâ€" ty the cattle. population is rapidâ€" ly diminishing due to the exâ€" pansion of industry. But, forâ€" tunately, the dairy industry was finding its room for expansion in Perth, Huron and Bruce Counâ€" ties.â€" Canada‘s Exports Of Holstein Cattleâ€"Is Ever â€" Increasing Gordon Bell Tells Rotarians 20 OBE 20 CDMLJ ACUIIEDILLLUC dil Gordon Bell was introduced _ a standard plane load is 52 head by Rotarian Earl Hooper who The buyer is given immediat mentioned that he was a Downie delivery instead of having Township boy who had moved‘ take his consignment of. catil to his present position in 1956 from among a boatload. ( as Field Man for the Holsteinâ€" ‘ Friesian Association for ten oto counties of Western Ontario. 50% of Beef Earl emphasized that Gordon Gordon also mentioned the was a great judge of livestock and had been entrusted with many responsible duties when chosen to pick cattle for this country‘s very important export business. First To S. America With regard to the exports of Holstein cattle, Gordon said himself that it had developed into a vast enterprise over the past thirty years. The first Holâ€" stein cattle were exported to South America.. Although over the years they had been shipped to 56 different countries and of these some 36 were regular cusâ€" tomers for Canadian Holstein cattle.. This past year 27,500 was the total exported. Spain and Portugal were big importâ€" ers, and Italy was one of the biggest markets. How were they shipped? Toâ€" day, he said, they are shipped mostly by airplane which is a lot faster, and more satisfactory than shipping by sea. It the latâ€" ter way they had to be sent mostly in the warmer seasons and the trip was then of some three weeks duration. Today air freight is very competitive and a standard plane load is 52 head. The buyer is given immediate delivery instead of having to take his consignment of, cattle from among a boatload. surprising fact that fifty per cent: of the beef in Canada comes from the dairy cow ~â€" and this will increase, he said. This was an added reason why it was so desirable for many cattle men here and abroad to have Holsteins. In his excellent talk, Gordon also gave the Rotarians an inâ€" sight into the work of the 4â€"H Clubs and also the work of the Ontario Milk Marketing Board. He mentioned in his concluding remarks that Perth had surpassâ€" ed Oxford County about a year LOTS OF FUN â€" calfe, St. Marys, we the Journalâ€"Argus euchreâ€"competition e _ J A N JN â€" Robert Box.â€"of Belton, and Doug.
