"Hay .and wheat crops ,are par- ,.. ticularly.heavy..Owing to moisture conditions these crops will be.dif- ficult to; cope with, and will require' more . handling than • usual.•: The fae- mers have produced the feedneces- sary for vital wartime pork • and milk products, but to. get the most feeding value out of thesefeeds, they must be harvested, at the prop- er time and, without waste", said. Mr. .£eek. "A labor survey compiled by our agricultural representatives shows that harvest help will be desperate- ly needed from urban • centres. The^ responsibility for the • harvest ; lies with the people .of, Ontario as a whole. The time: is short. Haying operations will be in full.. swing dur- ing the latter part of June and help Will be badly, needed". -"Fortunately committees have been organized in, many urban cen- tres and they are working with.

We tried it last week. and its.' not bad at that. Canadian top quality eggs are now being powdered for •shipment iii -Britain: llie reasonis to save shipping space for seven cases of eggs, when powdered, occupiy the space of one case of eggs in the shell. We received a sample Of the gold- en colored egg : powder " last week from J. C. McNab, and not trusting the better half's ability, put on the apron ,and whipped ute the dish ac- cording to specific instructions, which were: 2 heaping teaspoons of egg powdered, to which is added tablespoons, of milk;, add a:- punch of salt and pepper, whip' with a fork until smooth and pour in a hot but- tered pan.
