"SOIL BANK" LAYS AN EGG (Financial Post) AS CANADIANS cast around for a solution to the country's wheat surplus problem, it's to be hoped that no serious consideration will be given to the "soil bank" plan being tried by our next door neighbor. • Results of the first year in wheat have just been announced by • Washington and they are even more dismal than the mast pessimistic feared. Enormous amounts of money have been paid oust, but the U.S. farmer is growing just about as much wheatt as ever. Under the plan, which .was designed to curt surplus supplies, American farmers were offered Bard cash,to take land out of wheat - in, other words they were to be paid for crops they did not grow. They withdrew approximately 12 million acres, about one fifth the. normal total. For this they will receive $231 million in corn- . pensatilon from the public treasury. And what about the: crap that is ' being grown? At last report it may. be .down 2.7 percent from a year ago and with favorable weather it may not be down: a single bushel. Why is bhe possible drop in production so small +by,comparison with the cut in acreage? . Fanners are'not fools. Naturally they took their very poorest land out of wheat and con- centrate, efforts on their very :best. Exactly the 'same thing would happen' here if we were crazy enough to follow the U.S. example, MISH-MASH VEGETABLE DESERVES A NEW NAW.. (Durham Chronicle) sible,ho buy the mixture in tin cans pre-cooked. Rather than insult the flavorful green . peas the rich red carrot, today's most common vege- table mixture should be called "pez'nkaruts." IN RESTAURANTS and, at banquet tables throughout the length and breadth of our coun- try is a vegetable that has replaced practically all others that can be grown in this fair land. It is a combination of peas and carrots. These two have apparently been selected because they are cheap and they can be cooked for many hours without dissolving. Those not used one day can be kept and warned oven a day or a week later. This combination has become a staple at 99 per cent of the restaurants in the land. It has also come to be accepted as the favourite mix- ture served at club and church banquets where the catering women's group is intent on a fair profit. Twenty or a hundred other vegetables are available in Canada but several of them require care in preparing. Peas by themselves and car- rots by themselves 'tan be tasty when they are not cooked to death and then warmed over a few times. Genuine peas and carrots should not be con- fused with the pale, tasteless mish-mash that has become so popular. In fact, it is now pos- Prolonging the Agony THE EDITOR of the St. Marys Journal -Argus warns the merchants of the municipalities of Seaforth and Mitchell in these terms: "They may think they know what they are doing, but they are only 'prolonging the agony' in our opinion" In ;both Seaforth, and Mitchell they tried opening stores- on Friday nights in preference to Saturday, for a short time, and now have returned to Saturday nights open. "In St. Marys the merchants are now in their fourth year of 'trial' so far as Friday night op'en'ing is concerned, and most of them are agreed that the level of . business activity is far greater than was ever enjoyed during the "latter day' Saturday night years," concluded the St. Marys paper, SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OWING TO THE SUCCESS OF.

Just about a year ago Calverts wrote the famous letter to 3,000 Dominion Festival supporters, which turned out to be a prize boner.. It read in part, "Remember and support Calverts, for increas- ed Calverts sales means increased Calvert budgets for the DDF." 'Mr. Ongley, writer of the fetter, as we all know, walked the Vice Regal caapet and had to retract the letter. Once again these gentlemen are picking up the tabs for struggling culture groups, indirectly this time. The personnel of the newly created Canada Council for the Encouragement of the Arts and Letters includes Samuel Brant - man of Seagramhs and E. P, Taylor of the Canadian Breweries As- sociation.
