Grant Allen or, to give ham. his full name, Charles Grant Blairfindie Allen, was the auth- or of some 75 books, about 30 of them novels and at least one of them a sensation in its day. Although Allen spent most of his life in England, he was born on Wolfe Island, near Kingston, • Ont., m 1848. His father was Joseph , Antisell Allen (1814- 1900), a clergyman and writer, and his mother was Catherine Anne Charlotte, Baroness of Longueuil. He was educated at Oxfprd, became deeply inter- ested in biology and philosophy, • and was a friend of Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin, After four years of teaching in Jamaica, Allen returned to Eng- land and settled down to a ca- reer of writing. Many of his books were popular studies of science, ,philosophy or religion. • Among his novels was "The Wo- man Who Did," which appear- ed in 1895 and was a sensation because of its frank discussion of sex freedom. 'Allen died in England in 1899. • • • r • • • • ESTIMATE '106A00 WILL SUFFER , AS RAGWEED TIME APPROACHES About 100,000 people in east- ern Canada will suffer from hay fever this summer. According to the Field Crops Branch, On- tario Department of Agriculture, ragweed is the culprit respons- ible for much of this suffering. In general, hey fever in On- tario is caused by tree pollens in April and aY, grass pollens in June and July and ragweed pollen in late summer. Ragweed is an annual, with a much branched and slightly hairy stem, which grows from one to three feet high. The leaves are finely divided, giv- ing a ragged appearance to the plant. The flowers are yellow- ish, on long, slender spikes at the ends of the branches. A single plant may produce 5,000 seeds. Mowing is not very effective in ragweed control because seeds are produced low down SPECIAL DISCOUNT SALE On House of Stone Made -to -Measure Clothes All -Wool Cloths in the Latest Patterns and Weaves HUNDREDS OF SAMPLES TO CHOOSE FROM !

Af- ter -harvest -cultivation on stub- ble land is effective if the culti- vations are repeated at inter- vals until late fall. Row crops help control ragweed if preced- ed by thorough fall and spring cultivation. Ragweed may be controlled in the early, rapid growth stage by five ounces of 2,4-D aniine acid per acre. However, new plants spring up throughout the entire season, so several appli- cations may be necessary to prevent all plants from seeding. For further information on spraying, follow the manufac- turer's directions and refer to Ontario Department of Agricul- ture Publication No. 75-"1961 Chemical Weed Control Guide," available from the County Agri- cultural Representative. Fortunately for the many vic- tims of hay fever, ragweed is not prevalent in most parts of Northern Ontario. Hay fever sufferers would be well advised to take their holidays in this area during the ragweed sea- son. For further information re- fer to "Havens From Hay Fev- er", published by the Canada Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa. Time Remains For Second Planting There is still time for a sec- ond `planting in your vegetable garden this year. Dr. H. Tiessen, of the Depart- ment of Horticulture, -Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, suggests planting lettuce, spin- ach and radishes. Prepare the soil by digging and raking as you did for the first planting. Then sow the seeds directly in- to the garden row. These vege- tables have a short edible sea- son, so it's a good idea to plant them two or three times during the summer, for a fresh, con- tinuous, supply. Cabbage, cauliflower, broccpli and brussels sprouts 'seeds should be sown in a seed bed. This bed is really just a place to start new plants. After the seedlings have emerged, they can be transplanted in a gar- den row where they will ma- ture. Special precautions when planting a garden late in the season include using a 5-10-5 fertilizer at the rate of 25 pounds per 1,000 square feet. And be sure to water the gar- den well all summer. This is especially important for new plants, as they cannot survive the hot weather. Insemination Aids Cattle. Breeds The value and increased -use of artificial insemination in Canada is pointed up in a recent report of the Livestock Division, Canada Department of Agriculture. As a result of artificial in- semination, 212 Holstein -Frie- sian bulls "fathered" 53,772 purebred calves in 1960. This, states the report, is 61 per cent of the 85,150 .Holstein calves registered as purebreds during the year. D. B. Lambroughton, chief inspector, Record of Perform- ance for dairy cattle, believes the 212 hulls may have set some kind of a record for this country. Canadian cattlemen, he re- ports, are turning more and more to artificial' insemination for dairy and beef herds. During 1960, almost 15 per cent of the 5,302,700 {cows in Canada were bred artificially. The figure has been climbing steadily since 1942. • MON MOKTOP,,SVAV+RM OM, T' 27 1St MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM E.

FOOD and FIXIN'S Recipes For the Busy Homemaker A bowl of fresh cherries lasts no time at all; in fact, the whole cherry harvest is "snap- ped up" by processors and homemakers within the short month that this luscious fruit is in season. SWEET CHERRIES from Bri- tish Columbia and Ontario are generally available throughout July, reaching a peak in mid- month. Popular varieties include the Bing cherry - deep, dark maroon in color; large and al- most heart -shaped. This cherry, because of its firm, crisp -like flesh and lovely flavor, is a real treat for eating out -of -hand:' A close favorite to the Bing cherry is the Black Tartarian. Also large and somewhat heart - shaped, the Tartarian is almost black in color, thin-skinned, sweet and very juicy. It is very popular in fruit salads. Other varieties of sweet cher- ries include the Schmidt, Na- poleon, Lambert, Van, and so on, all ripening within days of each other. SOUR' CHERRIES -Although a large percentage of the sour cherry . crop is sold to proces- sors, there are some available to consumers in stores, roadside stands and farmers' markets. The chief variety of sour cherry grown in Canada is the Mont- morency. It is a rich, ruby -red cherry, thin-skinned and juicy. The Consumer Section, Canada Department of Agriculture; Ot- tawa, says that it has a tart flavor with a delicate hint of almond. Sour cherries are very popular for pies, jams and pel- lies as well as for freezing. Cherries; Sweet and Sour - British Columbia cherries come to our stores packed in' cherry lugs, either loose or in neat rows. They are sold to consum- ers by the pound. Ontario cher- ries are generally loose packed in six -quart baskets. They are sold both by the basket and the pound. .There are four grades for cherries: Canada Select; Can- ada No. 1; Canada No. 2 (or IALF4AcT TE(FJ MY6/57ER SAID 70 7E/1 YOU SHE;5 SORRY -BUT SHE 4/A5 A TERRIBLE HEAI5ACHE-MAYBE THE FLU, FOR A DOLLAR I'LL G TELL YOU WHAT SHE REALLY SAID, Canada Domesttt) and Canada Orchard Run. The last grade us- ually applies only to British Columbia cherries. The grade mark always appears on the con- tainer; however, when Ontario cherries are sold within the province, the word "Canada" is omitted from the grade name. Fresh cherries should be firm, shiny, plump and well colored for variety. Cherries should be eaten or used as soon as possible after purchase. If kept, store in a covered container in the refrig- erator to prevent drying. Do not wash or stem until just be- fore using. * * * The "If's" of Skim Milk Powder •-If you are counting pennies, try skim milk powder, for, it's less expensive than most forms of milk. A one -pound package makes four quarts when relique- fied; other size packages con- tain 3, 5, 8, 10, 12 and 20 pounds. All brands of skim milk powder dissolve instantly in water. It is easy to use and there's absolutely no waste as you can mix it as you need it. If you are counting calories, use skim milk powder. It has all the healthful food value of whole milk except for.. the cal- ories (which you' don't need when weight -watching) and the fat soluble vitamin A (which is present in fresh green and yel- low vegetables -things you eat much of when reducing). If you are taking a rustic holi- day at a cottage or camp, or just "goin' a-roamin", take your milk along in packaged powder form, " then there will be no problem about the lack of ice or refrigeration. Skim milk pow- der has only one storage re- quirement, it must be kept dry. Having a package of skim milk powder along with you assures you of pasteurized, fresh milk daily. If you have ever "run out of milk" it need never happen again. Place a package of skim milk powder on your pantry shelf along with other staples like flour, sugar and salt. Al- though it will keep for months, don't forget it -use it often in cooking and baking. If you want to add food va- lue to your meals, save the stock from cooked vegetables and use to re -liquefy skim milk powder for making cream sauc- es; * * * When is a baby bonus in the house? When a can of his strained baby food may be us- ed to make a quick and easy but very delicious dessert. The Consumer Section in Ottawa does this with strained apricots (or peaches) and calls the des- sert Apricot (or Peach) Whip. To make: Measure % cup cold water and 1 tablespoon of lem- on juice into a deep mixing bowl. Blend in 2/3 cup skim milk powder and a few grains of salt. Beat with a rotary beat- er or an electric mixer (med- ium-high speed) until mixture stands in firm peaks -about 5 minutes. Gradually beat in % cup sugar. Combine 2 cans (5 ounces each) strained apricots or peaches (Baby Food) with 1 tablespoon lemon juice and fold into whipped mixture. Six serv- ings. If this dessert is not quite special enough as it is, turn it into a freezer tray and freeze it for 1% to 2 hours. Then you will have a Frosty Dessert and believe us, Apricot Frosty is a -rare treat for a summer day. Ends Saturday, July •9th Don't Miss This Week Of Big Sale Bargains !
