TESTED RECIPES EAT MORE VEGETABLES Vegetables raw, vegetables freshly cooked, or vegetables canned, should be included in each day’s menu. Veg­ etables in some form are within the reach of everybody every day in the year. Vegetables all supply vitamins, minerals, water and bulk. Some pro­ vide carbohydrates in considerable quantity, and others furnish protein. There are many ways to serve vegetables, besides plain, boiled and creamed. They may be escalloped, served am gratin, prepared as souffle or macedoine. Attractive garnishes, variety in sauces, relieve monotony. The Consumer Section, Marketing Service, Dominion Department of Ag­ riculture, suggests the following re­ cipes:— Vegetable Chowder 1 cup canned corn 2 cups canned tomato 1 cup canned peas 1 cup string beans 2 raw potatoes, finely diced 1 small onion, finely diced 2 stalks celery, finely diced Salt and pepper Put all together in a saucepan.

Farmers having surplus seed; of high quality for sale are urged to have it cleaned and graded immediately and to submit a sample to the Seed Dis­ play to be ljeld in connection with the annual meeting of The Ontario Crop Improvement Association, King Ed­ ward Hotel, Toronto, Feb. IQ - 14th, The object of this seed display is to help the grower with a surplus Wind­ ing a market with buyers who are The Ontario Plowmen’s Association and the Association of Agricultural societies are holding annual conven­ tions during the week at the King Ed­ ward Hotel and the Ontario Provincial Winter Seed Fair will also be held that week. Hundreds of farthers will attend these events, many of whom will be looking for good seed. Only varieties which have been ac­ cepted for registration or certification may be included in the.display and all seed must be graded. The sample to be displayed in each case must be re­ presentative of the bulk lot for sale and the quantity shall be as follows — Grain and corn 2 qts., clover and grass seed 1 qt,; potatoes, 10 lbs. Suitable containers and tags will be supplied; samples will be on display during the entire week and an attrac­ tive catalogue listing all seed offered for sale will be prepared for distribu­ tion.

HYBRID CORN— WHAT IT IS (Experimental Farms News) The term hybrid means a cross -and that exactly describes hybrid corn, for it is the product of *a cross between two or more inbred or pure lines. Us­ ually four of these inbred ljnes are us­ ed to produce what is commonly call­ ed a commercial hybrid, and as the same four inbreds are crossed to pro­ duce the same hybrid each year, this explains why it is -that the hybrd con­ tinues to be so uniform. What is an inbred line? It-is a pure breeding line which is obtained by forcing corn ,to self-fertilize. This has to be done artificially because corn is normally cross-fertilized. A small bag is placed over the ear-shoot before the silks appear and when the silks come out, pollen is collected in a bag from the tassel of the same plant and plac­ ed on the silks, which are again cov­ ered. This is called self-pollination and the ear which develops is self-fertiliz- k ■i looking for high quality seed. WEEKLY CROSSWORD PUZZLE ACROSS 1. Covered with stars i 5. Dip water ! 9. Ascend 111.

In these busy days, many of us have to satisfy our hunger with a sandwich, often bolted hurriedly. We know we’re playing fast and loose with our insides, but the job must take first place. Irregular meals, irregular sleep, and new ways of living are all causes of constipa­ tion, How to Get Gentle Relief Constipation, as you know, is caused mainly by the disappearance of moisture from the large intestine. Therefore, that moisture must re­ turn. This is done by the action of the several mineral salts which are present in Kruschen. At the same time Kruschen, by its diuretic action,helps to flush the kidneys, thus ridding your bloodstream of its accumulated toxic poisons. • It stands to reason that the size of dose for relieving constipation depends on the individual. But once this initial constipation has been relieved, a small daily dose—just enough to cover a dime—will help to keep you regular, and cheerful. . Start today to remedy the mischief wrought by irregular meals and hours. You can get Kruschen from any druggist—25c and 75c, ' ing two. three or four of these inbred k lines, In Canadian commercial corn hybrids four are used. First, two in- breds are crossed to produce a single cross and then two single crosses are crossed to- produce a double cross or as it is commonly called a commercial hybrid. Officials stated thafr farmer?. who have musty grain would be well ad­ vised to put it through the fanning mill to dry it out; shovel it over in the bin, or. spread it on the barn floor. The quicker it was dried,. the better feedit would make. T* On Guaranteed Trull Certificates J I URGE EXTREME CAUTION IN FEED. ING MUSTY GRAIN Too large quantity will result in sick agricultural officials pointanimals, out. ed or inbred. After about 6 years , of this inbreeding the inbred or inbred line as it is now called, breeds true. , Inbred lines lose much of their vig­ our and become much smaller in size as inbreeding proceeds, states F. Dim- mock, Division of Forage Plants, Do­ minion Experimental Farms Service. But when they are crossed together, this vigour is restored and again a hy­ brid plant of normal size is the result. It is during the period of- inbreeding that lines with good and poor inheri­ tances are uncovered. The poor are discarded and only the good lines are kept and used to produce hybrids. This explains why many hybrids are superior to the parent varieties from which'they originated. Hybrids may be obtained by cross- who have musty grain in in winter as a resulted of continued wet weather during harvest time, are advised to use extreme cau­ tion in the feeding of this grain to live­ stock and poultry. Some farmers who have fed musty grain in fairly large quantity have already experienced dif­ ficulty and have sick animals on their hands. While no definite research work has been done in Ontario in the feeding of musty grain, due to the fact that this province seldom experiences an all- rainy. harvest season, the concensus of opinion among Ontario agricultural officials is that not more than 20 per cent of a cattle ration should include, musty grain and' a lower percentage if possible. They point out that there are degrees in “mustiness” and every care should be used in feeding this grain. Rotten grain should be thrown out entirely and not fed at all. Hogs, it is believed, could be fed up to 50% of the ration in grain that was. slightly musty, but this too would de­ pend on the degree of mustiness and therefore no special rule .could .be laid down for individual feeding. Each far­ mer would have to experiment for himself. Only a very small proportion could be fed to poultry and the grain/would have to be ground and on no account fed whole. Farmers theirs bins ADDRESS OVEREAS MAIL CAREFULLY Nearly 4,000 letters and over 1,000 parcels for men overseas that could not be. forwarded because of insuffic­ ient or incorrect address were receiv-j ed at Post Corps Headquarters, Ot­ tawa, in a single month recently. Referred to the Records Office of the Army for particulars, only 63 of these letters and 423 of the parcels could be identified for immediate for­ warding, while information was ob­ tained in regard to a large proportion of the remainder which would enable the Postal Corps to again try them at re-directed addresses. It was neces­ sary, however, to hold 2,500 pieces of which no record of address could be found. These may later find their way to their destination if addressees make application or information can other­ wise be obtained. Mail for overseas, it is pointed out, should include in the address, the sol­ dier's regimental number, his rank and name, his service or unit, and should be sent c|o Base Post Office, Canada. GOVT.
