Halton Conservation Committee Addresses Water Depletion
The Halton Conservation Committee discussed stream water depletion from Sixteen Mile Creek irrigation, riparian rights limits, and urged Ontario officials to act. They also considered beaver induced road flooding above Speyside, proposing county aid to repair the road. A River Valley Authority study for Twelve and Sixteen Creeks was endorsed with steps to inform municipalities. A 1953 Dairy Herd survey shows reasons for cow disposal including low production and sterility.

One Cow Today Produces More Milk Than Early Herds
Dairymen today, aided by breeding programs and modern feeding and milking methods, produce more milk per cow than early settlers. A Toronto breeder recently earned a certificate for a cow that set a world record by yielding 317000 pounds of milk in 305 days. Ontario Cream-Producers Marketing Board officials explored a historical Dairy Industry in Canada to compare past and present dairy practices from Evangeline era through 1812, noting shifts from per cow to per herd and reliance on imports before 1812.

The Ontario Department of Agriculture reports a 23,000,000 bushel wheat harvest with 323 bushels per acre, ranking the 1954 winter crop as the second highest yield in Ontario history, surpassed only by 1963.
