Mr. Ross, who has been a member of the Cornwall Cheese Board for twenty-one years, delivers a daily average of 350 pounds of milk to the Burn Brae Factory during the season. He produces annually over 400 pounds of butter. He has been a prize winner in horses, apples and grapes at the St. Lawrence Valley Agricultural Society Exhibition at Williamstown.
