BINDER TWINE FOR 1943

The Canadian government hopes

| there will be-enough binder twine to

take care of this year’s grain crop.

| Some 60 million pounds of twine will

be manufactured, which is enough for a normal crop, but not for an abnor- mal one,

In peace time binder twine was made from Javanese and African hard fibre, Now the supplies of such ma- terials which are reserved for the navy and the mer- chant marine, The new war grade binder twine will be made from Mexi- can fibre some of which may contain cotton, The government is asking Ca- nadian farmers to use their binder twine carefully this year and make sure that their machinery is in good condition so that it will cut the threads cleanly and without waste.

THE WORLD OF WHEAT REVIEWED WEEKLY BY MAJOR H.G.L. STRANGE

WORLD LACKS FOOD

The United Nations Conference of 43 nations has just concluded its in- vestigations at Hot Springs, Virginia, They find:

1, That there is and will be for long to come a scarcity of food in the world,

2. That while it is desirable to im- prove the nutrition of the people of the world a much more important goal for future years is to bring about freedom from sheer hunger from which millions of people have always suffered,

83. That there are no real surpluses of foodstuffs in the world,

4, That production of food must be greatly increased in the future,

5. That surplus foodstuffs available in any country must quickly be made available to the hungry people of other countries,

6, That to bring about a better dis- tribution of foodstuffs, the Conference went on record as opposing tariffs artificial barriers to inter- national trade,

This is all splendid news for | prairie farmers, for it indicates a re- turn to sound economic and humani- the govern- ments of the world, and most of the abandoned during the years,

There will undoubtedly be much op- position to these recommendations. Certain interests will still desire to have many kinds of goods made un- economically in the United States and }Canada behind tariff walls, Farmers | and all of us, therefore, our Canadian Government to]

weather of

The fine the past ten days has be-n a large factor in pro moting growth of grain crops in this

district, and wheat is now in the shot blade on some farms, and while later than usual, there is plenty of mois

ture to carry the crop along, Summerfallowing is now being done

and fields are gradually being clearcd

of weeds, which gained such a start

due to the wet weather in June,

The following is the last crop re- !port issued by the Alberta Wheat Pool:

Grain crops in Southern Alberta are in a precarious condition due to con- tinued dry weather, Temperature has been moderate, but high winds accel- lerated evaporation of moisture and contributed considerably to a sharp decline in condition, There are some local exceptions as sporadic showers brought temporary relief to a few scattered localities, Moisture is ade- quate and crops are in a healthy con- dition in the district south of Leth- bridge near the international bound- ary, and also in the Calgary area, but over the major portion of the south, soaking rains are urgently needed.

In central and northern Alberta moisture ranges from sufficient to ex- cessive, In many places water is still standing in low spots in the fields, The only exception is the north-east- ern part of the Peace River district where additional moisture will be needed soon, Crops are in a healthy condition but the season is very late and warm dry weather is needed to advance development,

RATIONS FOR GIRLS OF C.W.A.C,

The girls in the C.W.A.C, are well fed, as indicated by the following list of food provided by the Service:

The girls are issued exactly the same rations as the men, Some of the rations issued are: 9 oz, beef per day per person; 2 oz. bacon or salt pork; eggs; 1% oz, butter; % oz, cheese, which is generally saved up and used in cooking or only served once or twice a week; 15 oz, milk for both drinking and cooking; 12 oz, of bread, or in lieu of bread a ration of flour and baking powder may be ord- ered; 14 oz, potatoes; 6 oz, canned tomatoes; 1 issue oranges per week; 2 issues of 5 oz. each grapefruit juice per week; 5 oz, apple juice per week; 5 oz, tomato juice per week; 1 3-4 oz. sugar per day for all purposes; 1% oz, per day rolled oats or other cereals; 2 oz, jam per day, with 8 varieties to choose from; 4 oz, of coffee per day; 3-16 oz, tea per day.

This is not by any means a com- plete list.

Canada's Growing Navy

THERE HAS BEEN wide spread interest in the addition to the Cana- dian Navy of four escort destroyers, a gift of the United Kingdom. Our} navy has undertaken to protect the western half of the North Atlantic con voy routes, and these ships will be of great assistance in carrying out this! task. They will be appreciated by Canadians not only for their very great | usefulness at this time, but also as a further sign of Britain's desire to| support the Dominions in all possible ways. It is also an acknowledgment | of the confidence of the British government that the officers and ratings | of the Canadian Navy will use these ships effectively in the war against the powerful U-boat menace. Named after four Canadian rivers: the Sas- katchewan, the Kootenay, the Ottawa and the Gatineau, there is no doubt | but that these ships will give valiant service in protecting supplies and

war materials bound for Britain. *

Is Expanding very proud. At the beginning of the war, Can personnel was 1,700, which is less than the number of men required for one battleship. Today, there are 60,000 men in the navy, and Naval Minister Macdonald recently announced that by next year this number would be increased to 90,000, which will make it equal, on the basis of manpower, to the pre-war strength of the Royal Navy. The number of ships has also increased rapidly, and at present the Canadian Navy has over five hundred fighting craft, including destroyers, corvettes, submarine | chasers, mine sweepers and other vessels. It is believed that two more | British destroyers may be added to the four which have already been given | to us, and it is also believed that Canada will shortly build several aircraft |

Many Canadian sailors are from the Prairies, and few have had previous naval experience, yet they have proven themselves capable of carrying out this important part in the Battle of the Atlantic, and great credit is due to them, as well as to the workers | who have produced the ships which they man. It is clear that Canada| now occupies a place of importance as a naval power and that it is play- ing no small part in the hastening of an Allied victory. It is expected that there will be little reduction in the strength of the navies of the Allied Nations in the years following the war, and we may look forward with interest to the future of the Canadian Navy.

LEAGUE OF CANADA, THE MINERALS IN OUR DIET

HEALTH

We hear a great deal about vitamins in our diets these days but we must not forget the mineral content of our food. The minerals are im- portant in the proper formation of our bones, teeth and body tissues, When of minerals these parts of the body are

we have an insufficient amount

weakened or diseased. Calcium is necessary for blood clotting and for strong bones and teeth. Phosphorus is responsible for a healthy nervous system. Iron is necessary for the formation of the red blood pigment and

it protects us against nutritional anemia, Copper aids in the utilization of iron

Milk is our richest source of calcium and we should include three glasses of it in our daily diet. Cheese has a higher percentage of calcium than milk as it is @ more concentrated food, so if we could add a small amount of cheese to our daily menus it would be to our advantage; cheese |

is an excellent meat substitute. Other foods we should eat for their calclum

content are beets, turnips, cauliflower, carrots, celery, asparagus, and beans. When we take milk for calcium we will also get a fair amount of phosphorus. Lean meats, fish, eggs, cheese, nuts and whole wheat cereals!

contain appreciable amounts of phosphorus

Liver, pork or beef, is an excellent source of iron so we should be on! the lookout for new appetizing recipes for cooking it. Other organ meats such as heart, kidneys, sweet breads are also high in iron, Dried peas and beans, eggs and molasses @re good sources of iron

We will get sufficient copper from many common foods.

The lack of fodine causes goitre which is found in the inland provinces. | Nowadays it is possible to buy table salt which has iodine added to it so we should use iodized salt all the time especiaNy when we have little or no salt water foods,

We should bake and steam vegetables not only for the vitamin preserva- tion but also for the mineral content. Because a certain amount of the latter is lost in the cooking water we should cook vegetables in ag little boiling water as possible and for as short a time as possible. Never throw the water away! You can use it for making cream soups, gravies, and sauces You should boil leafy vegetables about 5-10 minutes, root vege- tables such as ‘turnips, parsnips, carrots 20-30 minutes, beets as much as 45 minutes depending on their size.

It is a significant picture of just what the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan means.

Hailing from Arborg, Man., Flying Officer Len Shebeski, who has re- mustered from a navigator to a pilot, spent a year in Alaska on bombing missions against the Japs in the Aleutians. “The men of my squadron were flying and working under ad- verse conditions but morale was very high,” observed Flying Officer She- beski when interviewed. “In a year of close contact with squadron mem- bers, I never heard an angry word spoken between the men.” Shebeskti lived on a farm with his parents for) 23 years, taking a prominent part in activities in the Arborg district. An enthusiastic agriculturist and grad- uate of the University’ of Manitoba, he won the Canada Malting Cup at) the Provincial Seed Show in 1936 and} the Ian McPhail Trophy (Junior Seed | Growers), 1937. At the University of | Manitoba he won the Lieutenant-Gov- | ernor’s Gold Medal in 1941. A sister, | Rose Shebeski, serves in the Canadian | Women's Army Corps.

|Good Reason Why Farmers Should |

Do Haying In Afternoon | | To the old adage, “Make Hay While}

the Sun Shines,”’ modern science has } added the indication farmers should do their haying in the afternoon.

Preliminary studies at New York State Agriculture college, reported by Prof. Otis F. Curtis, show the food content of alfalfa and other hay and | forage crops is influenced by the time of day at which they are cut.

The reason, he explained, is that all carbohydrates are manufactured by plants from carbon-dioxide and water only in the presence of light, land “it stands to reason, as the tests have shown, that the plant tissues ; contain the most food after a full | day of sunshine.”

TENNIS IS A GOOD GAME AND FINE EXERCISE

Tennis Exhilarating

Now at last the summer season is here and the opportunity for play-

ing outdoor games. Tennis is fun and most exhilarating. The exercise is good for you and your keenness of spirit will develop.

Tennis is a game for all ages, unless of course, your doctor has advised against exercise. Young and old find it thrilling and stimulating competi- tion packed with enjoyment for all.

Exercise in the open air, combined with fun—that is tennis! Could any- thing be more healthful or desirable? And anyone with perseverance and enthusiasm for the game can learn to play.

It is quite true that to become a tennis champion requires speed and a high degree of endurance. But not all want to become champions, The majority prefer to play the game for the game's sake, making it as mild

|or as strenuous as we choose.

NAZI U-BOAT CREWS SHOW MENTAL STRAIN

Like To Stay in Port And Deliberately

Slow Down Repairs And Overhauls

Piecing together scattered bits of information obtained in Sweden and London, Nat A. Barrows, correspond- ent of the Chicago Daily News, finds evidence that U-boat crews are be- ginning to show the effects of hard- ships and mental strain by deliber- ately slowing down repairs and over- hauls as one way of keeping in port longer.

Workmen in submarine bases both in Norway and France tell how the German crews hold up repairs by enticing them into card games, hid- ing tools and getting in the way when work is actually going on. Eye- witnesses who have visited these sub pens recently say that U-boat men are developing open signs of distaste and dread going back to sea for more punishment inside the cramped, stuffy compartments.

It is not rebellion against rigid naval discipline so much as early in- dications of possible breakdown in morale. In the First World War the same indications foreshadowed the German saturation point {n under- sea hardships.

Along with this slowing down of port repairs by their own crews is the significant admission by one Ger- man naval writer, Adm. Gadow, in the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung that the Battle of the Atlantic is going against Germany and that “it is more and more difficult for U-boats to at- tack convoys.” In his attempt to console the German public over the fact that U-boat sinkings are de- creasing, Gadow explains that Adm. Karl Doenitz “surely has something new up his sleeve.”

The Germans probably have not been allowed to know what Prime Minister Churchill told the House of | Commons: that the first week of June established a record for reduced Allied losses by U-boats.

Gadow is trying to prepare ‘the way for the ultimate discovery of this fact by writing that German scien- tists soon are going to find a new way for increasing U-boat perform- ance.

Can All Be Used

Collection Of Odds And Ends Help Win War

This may sound strange but wo- men and pack-rats have one thing in common. Both bustle about collect- ing odds and ends to store away for a rainy day which usually never comes and which wouldn't be bright- ened much by the kind of knick- knacks they collect anyway.

If you've always had acquisitive tendencies, if you’ve spent a lot of time packing away more than fie, troubles in some old kit bag, then lsten this this. That rainy day has come at last.

All the snips of material, the bits of string, the worn out clothes you've hidden away, can be put to a far more constructive use than you ever im-t agined. They can help win the war.

So go through your bags, your dresser drawers and closets and scrape up all the scraps you can. Nobody. wants you to give away any- thing you or some member of your family might use. It's patriotic to hang on to old clothes that can be revamped so you won't have to buy new ones. But be relentless about the rest.

That bit of silk you bought and never made into a party dress for your daughter; the children’s bath- ing suits long since outgrown; old sets of table linens—they can ralse money for war relief, can comfort a hospital patient, or make a dress for a refugee child.

Sheets and towels, pillow cases and tablecloths have a way of collecting in every household. The sheets be- come torn and you put them away for future mending. The towels wear thin, the tablecloths acquire an un- sightly stain, or a ruinous cigarette burn.

Besides, and this is the important thing, hospitals can use those worn linens for bandages. Time and use soften the fibres, making them ab- sorbent. And the more second hand linen they receive the more new ma- terial is released to care for soldiers in army and navy hospitals and through the Red Cross.

BOMBING EFFECTIVE

A tour of the eight-by-four-mile island of Pantelleria disclosed that a single underground hangar is just about the only military installation remaining intact after the mass bombing unleashed by the Allied Air Force prior to the enemy's surrender.

According To Census |

Greater Number Of Unmarried Men Than Women In Canada

The Dominion bureau of statistics has reported that final census figures showed single persons constituted 54.1 per cent. of Canada’s population of 11,506,655 in 1941, that Quebec showed the largest number of single persons in proportion to population and British Columbia the highest ratio of married persons.

The bureau said married persons accounted for 41.2 per cent. of the Dominion's population in 1941, widowed 4.6 per cent. and divorced 0.1 per cent. In 1931, 57.4 per cent. of the population was enumerated fs single and only 38.3 per cent. as mar- ried. ‘

The actual increase in the num- ber of married persons amounted to} 764,953 or 19.3 per cent., while the) ;number of single persons showed a |much smaller increase over 1931 of | 279,156, or only 4.7 per cent. | Single persons of all ages repre- sented 60.3 per cent. of the popula- tion of Quebec, and married persons 35.7 per cent. In British Columbia, 47.8 per cent. of the population was married, and only 46.5 per cent. single. Ontario also showed a large proportion of married persons, with 45.1 per cent. of the population enumerated as married and 49.4 per cent. as single.

All provinces showed an increase in the number of married persons since 1931. The number of single per- sons, however, declined in Manitoba | and Saskatchewan, and showed only slight relative increases in Ontario and Alberta. |

If to the direct descendants | of Jacob we add the wives of his sons and grandsons, and the husbands of the daughters and granddaughters, | and all their servants with their fam- ilies, it appears that the total num- ber of those who entered Egypt was | very considerable, several hundreds if not thousands. This fact, as well) as the acknowledged prolificness of |the Hebrew nation, serves to account! for their rapid increase in Egypt. At {the time of the Exodus they must} have numbered about three million.” (Dummelow). '

It hardly came as a surprise when she confided to the driver, ‘I’ve never in one of these before, you know.” Looking indifferently at this lamb sacrificed on the altar of civilian shortages, the driver said, ‘We ain't missed you none, lady.’’—-New Yorker.

Paper-Based Plastics

Waste Paper Plays A Most Important Part In The War

Waste paper is helping the R.A.F. in hundreds of ways. The amazing Mosquito aircraft, for instance; alter- nate layers of wood and specially treated paper form the ply which is largely used to build these machines.

Even doors and tables are now made from layers of a low grade type of corrugated paper, sprayed with resin and covered by an ex- tremely thin sheet of wood. The navigator’s table and compartment doors of some aircraft are con- structed of this material.

Paper-based plastics are also play- ing an important part in aircraft and electrical construction, sometimes re- Specially processed paper produces this plastic material which is used to construct seats for fighter aircraft and a host of elec- trical components for tanks, planes and ships.

In the world of electricity, paper, owing to its non-conducting pro- perties, is in ever increasing demand.

| War necessitates the use of many

thousands of miles of cable, much of it insulated with paper.

These are only a few of the war jobs done by paper. To them should be added the millions of shell cases, bomb containers, washers, interior components of mines, the production of which uses thousands of tons each week.

Who can doubt the need for string-

j ent economy in the use of paper and

the necessity for salvaging even the

' smallest piece?

First Canadian | Congress Is Held By Ukrainians

Winnipeg. — The first all-Canada Ukrainian Congress in its resolutions Passed unanimously at the closing session, appealed to Ukrainian Cana- dians to continue to make ceaseless efforts for an early and decisive vic- tory for the Allied Nations and went on record as being opposed to all forms of totalitarianisms and all they stand for.

The total number of delegates who attended the congress was 715 men and women, of which number about 100 attended as guests. 7P. Lazarowich, of’ Edmonton, pre- sented the resolutions.

Expressing explicit confidence in leadership of constituted authorities, a resolution said, “this congress stands pledged to be “ever ready and calls upon every Canadian, particu- larly represented by this congress, to

fall in line and give the utmost sup-|

port on every call by those in author- ity.” The resolution opposing totalitar-

janism further said “that Ukrainian | Canadians stand shoulder to shoulder |

with other Canadians, and be ever ready to put forth every effort to prevent the infiltration of any part of totalitarian philosophy into our policy, during the present war and during the post-war reconstruction.

The forbears of Ukrainian Cana-| dians have been traditionally a demo- |

cratic people, whereas totalitarianism, be it Nazism, Fascism or Commun- ism, is the very antithesis of demo- cratic principles.”

A four-point resolution on th winning of peace said that in the in- terest of a durable world peace and stability it was necessary to recog- nize the fundamental principles of fieedom for all peoples and nations; that the great Allied leaders have approved of the principles of the At- lantic charter and the four freedoms, and that it was a duty of every Cana- dian citizen to exercise his democratic privilege in a united effort that these principles be observed.

This congress takes an active in- terest in the application of the prin- ciples:

1, The right of all choose a form of government under} which they will live.

2, That changes must accord with | the freely expressed wishes of the people concerned.

3. The establishment of a peace which will afford to all nations the means of dwelling in safety within their own boundaries and which will afford assurance that all the men in all the lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and want.

4, That the Ukrainians should re ceive equal treatment with other recognized nations, as a free and united member in the family of Euro- pean nations.

eo

Congress urged all Ukrainian Canadians to give their uninterrupted services in all branches of essential war work and food production, and that every participant of the con- gress offer leadership to Canadians of Ukrainian origin in sending to our fighting men comforts and assistance, and that support be given to the Canadian Red Cross and auxiliary war agencies.

A tribute was paid to all Canadians who have given their lives in defence of Canada and for a_ better world. This resolution said that through the Ukrainian religious and social organ- izations, and the press, assistance in re-establishment and _ readjustment of bereaved homes and families should be extended to all who are in need.

P.F.R.A. For All | Provinces Has Been Suggested

Ottawa.—Application of provisions | ‘of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation! Act to all Canada and the immediate survey of Canada’s national resources with the object of providing employ- ment and promoting a better balanced economy were the principal recom- mendations in an interim report of | the House of Commons construction and re-establishment committee, tabled in the House of Commons by Gray Turgeon (Lib., Cariboo), com- | mittee chairman.

The committee’s work is continu- ing but it submitted suggestions | agreed upon so far to permit early | action. | “Our studies have convinced us |that in many respects Canada’s agri-| cultural life would be greatly im-| proved if the general provisions of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act could be applied to all Cannada,”’ the committee reported.

That act, passed when the prairie provinces were suffering acutely from | drouth and price depression, provides for federal assistance in soil sur-

veys, servation projects like stock-water- ing dams and irrigation systems, in taking sub-marginal land out of pro- duction, in creating community pas- tures, and in educating farmers in scientifically tested methods of opera- tion for particular conditions.

“Your committee feels that a proper survey of Canada’s natural resources should be undertaken now,” the committee reported, “in order to} ascertain the nature and extent of| such resources, their location with} respect to existing transportation | facilities, their suitability for post-| war requirements of the Canadian people, and for post-war industrial development and settlement, with the |dual purpose of providing post-war employment and a _ better balanced Canadian economy. | | New relations must be established | between government and industry and | between management and labor with- |in industry, the committee reported, It, said it proposed to present a later report on this subject.

Further study is being given to the fishing industry, to the coal in- dustry, and to agriculture.

“Your committee is strongly of the opinion that every member of the armed forces and the merchant navy is entitled to be assured that parlia- ment and government will be pre- pared to do what lies within their | power to prevent any recurrence of ‘mass unemployment in Canada," said the report.

'A New And Compact Sea-Rescue

Radio Transmitter Is A Step Forward In Saving Our Airmen

HE rescue of 19 victims of an Atlantic torpedoing was swiftly accom- plished recently through the delivery, by parachute, of a little device

that weighed less than 20 pounds.

It looks like the coffee grinder that

used to be a familiar sight in grandma's kitchen, or a portable radio with a Mae West shape and a coating of vivid orange paint; but it is an instrument that is making a tremendous contribution to the lives of airmen of the

R.C.A.F.

“It” is the new, compact, sea-rescue radio transmitter which is now in use by the R.C.A.F. It is one more step towards perfecting the system of bringing swift aid to airmen who have been forced down at sea or in isolated land areas. That it is doing its job is well testified to by reports such as that of the 19 survivors. Located by a rescue aircraft, they were dropped a transmitter; shortly afterwards they were found by a Canadian de- stroyer which had picked up the dis- tress signal which punctuated the ether with its insistent SOS.

The set, described by newsmen as the “Coffee Grinder” is @ small, in- genious, waterproof and completely foolproof radio transmitter, capable of sending a signal up to 150 miles. It derives its nickname from its ap- pearance, strongly reminiscent of an old time coffee grinder—-but the sturdy crank grinds no beans; it) whirls the generator which powers the effective little machine.

It’s wasp-waisted shape is specially designed so that the set rests easily | between the knees of the operator, | held fast by a broad canvas strap.

No knowledge of radio is required |to operate this latest instrument of sea-rescue, and in this respect it is absolutely foolproof. If you can turn the crank, you can send an SOS. The dial on the front of the transmitter | can be set so that an automatic SOS) signal is sent out when the crank is turned. If the operator knows his code, he can send out a complete message, and for this a built-in tele-| graph key is provided. If the oppor tunity to make a contact by visual | signal arises, this situation is neatly | taken care of. A signal lamp is in- cluded, and like the code signal, can | be set for an automatic SOS or oper-| ated by the key, like an aircraft's | Aldis lamp. The signal lamp can be strapped on to the operator’s head, to leave his hands free.

The unit is complete in every detail from the parachute to float it down | to the sea, to an ingenious built-in aerial which is one of the factors con- |, tributing to the set's power and range, The transmitter itself is pack- ed in a canvas bag which carries the parachute, and attached to that is a cylindrical tube which contains all |the accessories. These include two

box kites for lifting the aerial aloft if a wind is blowing, and two balloons which are filled with hydrogen to take the aerial up in still weather. Where do you get the hydrogen? Easy— generators are supplied, which, when lowered into the sea will make enough hydrogen to inflate the balloons to a diameter of four feet.

The box kites would be a small boy’s delight. They're collapsible, made of a water repellent material and will carry the aerial aloft in a seven to fifty mile an hour wind. The aerial itself is wound on a reel which

has a brake to control the speed of the ascent. It is built right into the transmitter.

With its 300 foot antenna climbing skyward the diminutive transmitter can send forth its distress signal as long as the sender can turn the crank. A special system of lights in- dicate the right speed at which to turn the crank and to “tune” the set

jinto the correct frequency, which is

| the international distress signal wave | length. From this signal, listeners }{n coastal stations, ships and. air- |eraft, can determine the position of |the dinghy, and send swift rescue | ships and aircraft to the scene, The | transmitter will be carried on all larger aircraft and planes on sea- rescue patrol. When a dinghy is sighted without a sea-rescue set aboard, one is dropped by parachute and the man in the dinghy can signal to give a clue to his position, When crews are equipped with the device, they are able to establish immediate | contact and reduce to a minimum the time spent at sea,

The adoption of this latest aid to swift sea rescue means much to air- men of the R.C.A.F., will reduce con- siderably the potential number of “dinghy hours” at sea, and will be welcomed by fliers who have had the experience of floating around for many hours before being spotted and eventually picked up.

Only One In Canada

Vancouver General Hospital Training Schoo! Has Florence Nightingale Collection

The letter is written on pale blue paper in Florence Nightingale’s leg- ible hand. Dated Feb. 8, 1888, it de- scribes a coffee-house which she in- tended to establish for the purpose of enticing men away from the pubs.

The letter is part of a Florence Nightingale collection—only one of its kind in Canada—which was pre- sented to the Vancouver General Hos- pital School of Nursing by Miss Grace Fairly, former superintendent at the school.

Florence Nightingale knew her men. She knew she must make her counter-attraction good. ‘In all coffee-rooms which have really an- swered and attracted the men I have known," she wrote, “there has always been some lady who has gone in on occasional evenings and entertained them. The best managed coffee- house in London is controlled by two women. They have plenty of influ- ence over a very rough lot. She thinks of the coffee quality too. I would promise: ‘Let the coffee be good’.”

Photographs and mementos of the first British war nurse are also in- cluded in the collection which was brought back by Miss Fairley on various trips to England.

Included is the “Statements of Voluntary Contributions received by Miss Nightingale for the use of Bri- tish Hospitals in the East, 1854-56.” Among the contributions are listed: Barrels of beer, raspberry vinegar, Welsh wigs, remedy for frost bite and Lady Southwick's gift of “The Shel- tering Vine,” written by the lady herself.

the way in which they have aided the government in fighting off inflation, he continued, “the organized opinion of women igs a very powerful factor in our national life, I would like to see the people of this country so com- mitted to the custom of spending less that it would almost be considered a social blunder to buy anything un- necessary or non-essential, Women are the only people who can bring this about.”

By popularizing the idea of spend- ing less you serve Canada in two ways, Mr, Ilsley stated—you aid in the fight against inflation and you make available more money in Can- ada to use in the fight against our enemies,

Appealing to the women for help in his most costly of all wars, he

asked that women establish a social code which frowns on waste and un-

necessary spending, and secondly that they help in the problem of conserva. tion of Victory Bonds and War Sav- ings Certificates.

“For six weeks every year,” said Mr. llsley, “Canadians are asked to

buy Victory Bonds, and during the

rest of the year War Savings Stamps and Certificates. Women have re-

peals, The many novel and ingenious | methods used by women in the sale; of Stamps and Certificates have been | a source of inspiration to others, and I would like to urge that we do not relax our efforts in any of these fields, There is a limit to the amount of money we can raise by taxation, We wish to hold bank borrowings to a minimum, The only alternative is to borrow from the Canadian people themselves.”

Canadians have bought more than $77 millions War Savings Certificates | in the last 12 months, Mr, Ilsley said, | This represents a considerable saving in small amounts, the small amounts that constitute the most dangerous el- ement of spending, Of that $77 mil- lions, however, over $24 million have been redeemed. Urging that Cana- dians hold their purchases of bonds and certificates at least for the dura- tion, he stated that both bonds and certificates are sold without restric- tion as to redemption or sale by the owner,

“Anyone can get his money back, if | and when he wants it”, continued Mr. Iisley, “That guarantee will al $ hold good but, I would again like men to set a fashion, that it is not th: thing to do to lend your money to the government today, and take it back tomorrow, In the case of an em- ergency where no other means can b found to raise the necessary funds, it is a justifiable step, but to withdraw support of the country to buy non- ess ; is to build a two-fo'd stum- bling block in our path.”

Practically every plant, wild o: cultivated, is subject to fungus and insect attack, 100% health i is rare in plants as it is in men.

When introducing new crops, \ usually have a good idea of tl diseases and insects which may cans¢ trouble, but we cannot forecast th severity of attacks, Furthermor control measures practised elsewher may not be practicable or effectiy in our own region.

This year, we are concentrating good deal of attention on oil cro notably flax, sunflowers, Argenti rape and soybeans, The Dominion Entomological Laboratory at Briar don is anxious to secure all possil\c information on insects found on the above crops. Growers of these cro} are urged to be on the lookout, especially for flea beetles (on rape) and the sunflower moth, Please send specimens and report infestations t Dr. Bird at the Brandon Laboratory.

Send disease specimens to_ thi Dominion Laboratory of Plant Path- ology at Edmonton, Saskatoon or Winnipeg.

Cut Sawily Traps

Dr, C, W. Farstad has prepared the following paragraph and asked us to give it all possible publicity

“Quite a number of farmers throughout the west have made a start toward a systematie plan for controlling wheat stem sawfly by planting traps. After having estab- lished a trap, and the sawflies hay: laid their eggs, the next step is t complete the destruction of thy grubs in the stem. This ean b accomplished by cutting the trap with a mower about July 10th, or simply by cutting it with the binder and cultivating the stubble immedi- ately afterward,”
