It is a dessert that is eaten to the last *'bite — it always disappears, we camo across just the very thing, the Other day, when we learned about using the packages of either chocolate, vanilla or butterscotch arrowroot pudding that are in every grocery. The arrowroot in­ gredient adds to the smooth, creamy, texture and makes it especially wholesome for children, as it digests quickly and complete­ ly, Recipes arc on the packages. The basic recipe below shows how easy it is. Three methods of freezing can be used* 1. In Automatic Refrigerator; Quick freezing is preferable; 3 or 4 hours is ample time to freeze 'delicious smooth mixtures m the freezing tray of an automatic refrigerator if the temperature is set low. However, as soon as the ice cream is frozen. the cold Con­ trol should be turned back to nor­ mal for storage. 2.

Co-Operative Movement Hon. F. M. Dewari, Ontario min­ ister of agriculture, recently announc­ ed the Ontario Agricultural College, at Guelph, would pay* more attention in future to study of the co-operative movement. He said arrangements had been completed with the economics department of the O.A.C. to put a course in co-operative education in the regular curriculum. Initial action would be the holding of a conference at the college on dat­ es tentatively set as Sept. 20-23. Prof. Drummond, head of the economics department, would be chairman, and it was hoped to obtain A. B. McDon­ ald, of Nova Scotia, a graduate of O. A. C., to lead the discussion on co­ operative enterprise. Many Com Borers Heavy corn borer infestation in corn being marketed from Essex and Kent Counties is reported by London 'truckers. A London district market gardener and trucker, destroyed more than half a shipment of 100 dozen ears of corn he trucked to London re­ cently, found to be infested with the borer. Other truckers have experienced similar cases, although damage was found to be less than in the case cit­ ed. Up to the present time the wide­ spread damage done by the borer has tended to keep early corn prices at a higher level than usual. Per dozen ears, corn retailed at 20 to 25 cents on London market. Practise Strip Farming Strip farming has arrived in east­ ern Canada. The tobacco growers in Ontario are suffering from drifting and severe humus depletion. On their light sand land, rye is about the only fall crop they can grow and they are using it for the double purpose of a windbreak and a green crop to plow under. J. L. Stansell, Staffordville, seeds all of the tobacco land to rye in the fall. Next spring the rye is plowed in strips, one third being left. Once in three years, therefore, all of the land is in rye that is allowed to grow until the tobacco plants no long­ er require protection, when it too is plowed under. With this rotation, Mr, Stansell' and his son expect to keep on growing tobacco on the same fields almost indefinitely. Early Peach Crop 4 A peach crop survey conducted by the Ontario Department of -Agricul­ ture last week shows that canning peaches of the famous “V” type, Vid- dette, Valiant and Veteran, will reach Ontario markets the week of August 15th. These varieties, originated at the Horticultural Experiment Station, Vineland, have largely replaced the Crawford in the affection of the On­ tario housewives. They will be fol­ lowed by the Elberta two weeks later. The entire crop will be ten days earlier than last year, growers agree. They point out that Rochester, a good canning peach, but not quite so free at the pit as the “V” peaches, was first picked last year August 19 and was ready by the 10th this year. In discussing crop prospects, grow­ ers stated that owing, to increased production as a result of more trees coming into bearing for the first time this year, “V” peaches will show an increase of 15% over 1937. Elbertas are down 10 to 15% which will make the canning crop just about equal the total for 1937 with quality better than last year.
