DECEMBER 20, 1038 THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE TestedRecipes Choosing and Cooking Meat One of the household problems in several countries is the knowledge that the quality of beef in a but­ cher’s shop is not always easy to de­ termine, Canada, however, is an exception, In the Dominion there is no necessity for any concern in that direction, provided the meat to be purchased is branded or graded beef. Graded beef (or branded beef as some persons call it) bears the Government’s guarantee of quaL ity, of which there are two grades, the first grade is shown as “Choice” each cut bearing a portion of the red ribbon-like mark which runs from one end of each side of the carcass to the other. The second grade is the “Good” grade or brand, stamp­ ed with a blue ribbon-like mark af­ ter the manner of the other grade. Thus, buying beef by grade takes the hazard out of marketing. The round official “Canada” mfark ol' Government inspection guarantees only that the meat is wholesome and free from disease. Good beef may be tough. Therefore, the grade marks— red and blue ribbons—are the only guarantees of quality. The grades are chosen for quality from Govern­ ment inspected meat. The following recipes are taken from the 52-page ilThstrated pamph­ let “Beef and How to Choose and Cook It” which may be obtained free on application from the Publicity and Extension (Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa: Baked Stuffed Flank the Slit flank steak to form pocket, or year. *-he eteak be thin, fold one-half JOHNS -—the other, and fill with poultry Decembimr dressing.

Patterson, Clerk Staff Loyalty Offset Nags of Distant Bosses Gave to Canada Company Its Measure of Success By W. H, Johnston in the Free Press The Canada Company, like many other colonization companies, has been bitterly assailed by critics, and some of the criticism were deserved, but som'e were far from being just. However, it was difficult to avoid cause for adverse .criticism since the directors and stockholders lived in the homeland with preconceived views in how the colonizing should be done, while their representatives in the new land had to conduct the business of the company as circum- sances would permit. Their mode of procedure was often at variance with the opinions of their directors and the wrath and faul-finding of the latter made the lot of the commis­ sioners difficult. John Galt, a clever and volumin­ ous writer, a noted traveler and an astute business man, was sent by the Canada 'Company as their first com­ missioner. The board in England thwarted many of his plans and se­ verely criticised m<any others. Galt, able as he was and knowing full well that he was on the right track, patiently endured fault-finding for some , years. He indeed was a man with a vision—a vision that was founded on knowledge, for he had been sent out by the British Govern­ ment to inquire into the resources of Upper Canada, previous to the formation of the company. Therefore, Galt did not not select the 1,100,000 acres in a haphazard manner. He knew that this huge block of land was wonderfully fer­ tile and envisioned an agricultural district large enough for an old world principality, occupied by a happy and contented people, who had been member of the sturdy la­ boring and middle classes of the British Isles and Wetsern Europe. He realized before long that his was a Herculean task. This large area of forest land had to be sur­ veyed, roads opened, bridges built, towns projected, land offices opened and staffed, the many wants of pio­ neers who were inexperienced in the clearing of the forest sympathetical­ ly attended to, besides a hundred and one other duties. Mr. Galt rejoiced in the wonder­ ful growth of Guelph and the rapidity with which the surrounding district was settled, no only by European emigrants by a great influx of the finest type of people from the terri­ tory south of the Great Lakes. The opening* of the Huron road, thus connecting Lake Ontario with Lake Huron, insured rapid settlement, of the whole territory to the west and the future establishment of Water­ loo, Kitchener, Stratford, Mitchell, Seaforth, Clinton and Goderich. For almost a century these two results have been a vindication of his far- seeing judgment and .colonizing ef­ forts. We can possibly overlook to some extent the directors’ fault-finding on the plea of ignorance but the other officials in this new land were in strong sympathy with Galt. Galt and his assistants, the irre­ pressible “Tiger” Dunlop and others were exasperated upon one occasion to find that a minor official, an ac­ countant, had been sent to the Tor­ onto office to report secretly on the affairs of the company. Dunlop so tantalized and terrorized the official on a horseback trip through the new country to Goderich that he was soon pleased to flee the ‘wolf-ridden’ 'country. This officer, however, on his return to England reported un­ favorably on Gait’s administration. Some time later Galt returned to England to see the officials of the company. Before his death, in 1839, he wrote: “The fact of the Canada Company’s being one of the most flourishing concerns in London is the vindication of my scheme and plans.” KIRKTON Holiday visitors in Kirkton.

Does Food Cause You Distress? The impairment of the stomach is often of serious consequences, for only by properly digested food is the system nourished and sustained. Burdock Blood Bitters is a reliable remedy for stomach disorders. It helps to stimulate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, the main factor in digestion, neutralizes acid­ ity, tones up the lining membranes of the stomach, and restores the natural, healthy process of digestion.

ON CANADIAN BORDER For many years entomologists of the Canadian and United States Go­ vernment have waged continuous warfare against the gypsy moth, the United States Government alone having spent over $45,000,000 ijn the Eastern States in an endeavor to keep, this destructive pest under con­ trol. Owing to the spreads of th© moth in these States, an internation­ al conference was called in *1922 when it was decided to establish a 201 mile wide barrier-zone extending along the Champlain and Hudson River Valleys from the Canadian border to Long Island Sound, the zone to be scouted continuously, while the area north of the Inter­ national Boundary would be patrol­ led by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, As a result of this scouting by of­ ficers of the Entomological Division an infestation was discovered at Henrysburg, Quebec, and after three years operations the district was cleared of the pest. Since that time,, a border patrol has h«»r> ’maintained along the international boundary, and, although small outbreaks have been found to the south from time to time, no other infesains have been discovered in Quebec. The extreme eastern section of the infested area in the United States has been cause for considerable con­ cern for over 20 years, as the gypsy moth has been slowly but surely mi­ grating northeastward through the State of Maine towards the New Brunswick border. Scouting in New Brunswick has been carried on from time to time and also in the State of Maine. In the summer of 1936, the United States Bureau of Entomology reported an outbreak at Cooper in Maine, approximately 20 miles from the New Brunswick border. Subse­ quent scoutings revealed small col­ onies in the towns of Calais and Milltown, and at six other points in the State of Maine just across St. Croix river from the N. B. border. Scoutings in New Brunswick result­ ed in the discovery and eradication 'of small incipient infestations in the towns of St. Stephen and Milltown, and at one or two points outside. Scouting during 19’37-3 8, up to November 4, showed that 104 egg­ clusters were found in and around the towns mentioned, and a thousand or more trees burlapped. The bur­ laps were turned at frequent inter­ vals, and 795 larvae taken and des­ troyed. The infestations have ap­ parently been cleaned up, as no fur­ ther egg clusters have been collect­ ed at -any of the points.

This annual review of the position of Canadian agriculture is issued joint­ ly by the Dominion Departments of Agriculture and Trade and Commerce at the beginning of each year, and is designed to assist farmers in plan­ ning their business operations.
