Details regarding the limit for individual purchases will be an-i nounced before the hunting season, { a statement said. } It added that because of require-, ments of many farmers for the pro­ tection of stocks and crops and of trappers and other essential users the quota set aside for huntsmen is expected to be small.

Keep a sharp outlook for the first infested areas in the field. These areas are at first small and usually found within the first ten rows around the field. Destroy these infested areas by (a) thor­ oughly spraying both sides of the leaves of infested plants with a solution of 1 lb. of linseed oil soap in 10 gals, of water or (b) pulling the infested plants and burying on the spot. It is important that this be done while the infested areas are small, otherwise winged females will have spread the aphids to other Cameron: Just a line tonight to let you know that I received the nice box you people sent me, and here is thanking you very much as in sure is a treat over here.

They are as well off as the people back in England, al-} though that may not hold true for, those in the larger areas. What we have seen to date has just been farm areas.

After the first few days had ended, it has been very quiet in this par- icular sector of t-he front. While the front has been static, the beach has been a very busy place with supplies coming in and piling up ■behind us, so that when the push starts, it will need a lot of stopping. From all reports the war in Europe is expected to end this year and we certainly hope that that is true. It is time that we were getting back to Hensall. I haven’t seen the othei’ two Hensall boys who are in this unit—Bill Nicol and Bill Snow—but I know that they are quite unharm­ ed as yet. Whether they have re­ ceived their parcel or not, I can’t say, but you will hear from them as soon as they get it. In the mean­ time, there isn’t a great deal more) to say.

I am very sor­ ry indeed for being so slow in an­ swering but I have been very busy indeed up to a week or so ago. When I did have a few moments, I was just too tired to write. On June 15th, I received another one of your parcels, so to kill two birds with one stone, would you be so kind as to convey to those respon­ sible for the two parcels, my sincere thanks, The canned meat and hot chocolate enclosed in the parcel were really worth while. This type of thing from home makes it pos­ sible for us to have a snack before’ going to bed. I really enjoyed your letter accompanying the parcel. It | certainly is worthwhile to have news from home especially the returning home of several Hensall boys from overseas. I don’t think we have many more months before you will see the whole thing cave in.

Safeguarding the food that is being stored in jars means rigid inspec­ tion of each step in home preserv­ ing. Vegetables require special at­ tention. If you did not can any of the vegetables at the beginning of the season you may want to store some of the second crop in sealers. Although acid vegetables such as, pickled beets, red peppers and tomatoes are readily processed in boiling-water bath, the vegetables should be pressure cooker. However, if have small jars with a perfect success may be water hath method caution is used. Important canning safety of vegetables To permit a perfect seal rim and top must be even, no nicks, no imperfections. Equipment — jars, measuring cup, knife, spoons, funnel, two large bowls, saucepan, processor or deep kettle, tea towels, brush and box of salt—should be as­ sembled before the “canning bee”. Wash jars in rich suds and get them clean using a good brush. Rinse the jars thoroughly. Sterilize by placing a clean towel in the bottom of a pan and ting the jars on their sides matched glass tops beside one, cover with hot water boil fifteen minutes. Leave in hot water until needed. Thorough inspection of vegetables is necessary. Discard any old, blighted, bruised or ones with decay. 6. Washed vegetables get a three minutes precooking. This shrinks them and sets colour. Have the water boiling. Time the ‘boil’. 7. Now hot vegetables go into hoi jars. Allow one inch at ,he top of each jar when you can peas and corn. Use the cooking water to fill the jars. Add one teaspoon salt to each pint jar. Wipe off the top of jar—one pesky bit will keep the jar from sealing 8.
