Dairy Farmers of Ontario Thank you for providing information regarding the kick-off meeting of the Scarborough Community Studies Scholarship Program. I regret I will be unable to attend the meeting on October 22, 2001. You are to be congratulated on your efforts to promote research into Scarborough's history. You obviously have put a great deal of time and effort into researching your book Neigh the Front -- Exploring Scarboro Heights and developing a variety of on-line research resources. We also appreciate your obvious interest in the dairy industry and your promotion of student research into this area. There were certainly a number of local and regional dairy organizations that were formed in the late 1800s and early 1900s. You note in your research that Alexander McCowan was involved with a milk organization in Scarborough in 1892. Some reference books we have, such as Dairy Farmers of Canada's A Hundred Years in the Dairy Industry, and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food book, Dairy Branch and 100 Years of Service, document the Canadian Dairymen's Association which was organized in 1867 in Ingersoll, Ontario. They also mention the Ontario Dairymen's Association, which was organized in 1871 in Belleville. While these national and provincial groups involved in milk marketing obviously precede 1892, that should not detract from the important local efforts by milk producers throughout Ontario during this time to form a dairy organization. The most important factor in these efforts was the dairy farmers' determination to further benefit their industry. I have discussed the nutrition essay you mention in your letter with our nutrition department. We have enclosed two Milk wristwatches that we hope you can use as prizes for this essay contest. Thank you again for your invitation and for sharing your information with us. We are sure that students and local groups will benefit from their own exploration of their agricultural heritage. Yours truly, Wes Lane, Director
