The great merit of dried vegetables is their easier transportability. They enable men in the front line in Egypt to enjoy British potatoes.; carrots and cabbage just as palatable and nutris tious as when eaten at. home. Indeed, it is claimed ti' at they are more nutri- tious, for the utmost care is taken that they: retain their minerals. Po- tatoes are peeled by machine and have blemishes and "eyes" removed. After washing they ace shredded by a mach- ine to small chips. They are then blanched by two minutes in boiling water and sudden cooling. Then they are dried in a tunnel heated by steam. 'They are packed in tins from which all air is expelled and replaced by nitrogen. The great compression achieved by drying is shown by the fact that the same shipping space will carry eight times as much potato, twenty times as much carrot, and 'twenty to thirty times as much cabbage as it will when these vegetables are in a ,fresh con- dition, The new process differs from drying fruit in the sun in,that the essential nutritive elements are retained, and reconstitution with boiling water and cooking 'produces vegetables which look and taste just "as good as the fresh variety. FEEDING OF TURKEYS FOR MARKET (Experimental Farms News) With an urgent demand for meat and pooltry products to supply the domestic market, preparing turkeys .:,for market this autumn merits special attention. 'With an unlimited supply of feed available every market turkey should be put in mime condition be- fore being killed, says A. G. Taylor, who has charge of turkey raising at the Central Experimental natal, Ob, lawn.

Where bonus grown feeds are being used feed mash in the morning and mixed grain the evening. A good mash can be made by using a mixture of equal parts ground oats, barley meal, and ground wheat. Ground buckwheat is also good and can be used instead of barley meal if neces- sary, It is -well to add about 10 per cent beef meal and about 2 per cent grains should be thoroughly mixed be- fore feeding. This mash can be fed either dry in hoppers or moistened and, fed in V shaped troughs. It is well to moisten the mash at least one hour before feeding time so that it may be- come swollen before being eaten by the turkeys, To moisten the mash use sour skim- milk or water. Make the mash just moist enough that it will be thoroughly soaked but not sloppy: Any mashes not eaten should be re- moved from the troughs when the turkeys have satisfied themselves. Water, grit and shell should bp be- fore the birds at all times. The London Daily Express tells us that.

Dear friends: Well here we are safe and sound in sunny St. Petersburg again after otir long journey of siseteen hundred miles by bus. We left Wingham Tuesday, October 27th at 4.30 p.m., the bus 'being three quarters of an hour tale which was .unfortunate for us, as we ' -missed our lunch at Clinton and no place to eat until we reached Chats ham, We bad forebodings that we would miss. our bus connection at London- We were a'greea'bly •snrnris- ed when we reached London to find the Detroit bus waiting for us. • Our baggage Was checked and. we were hustled into a crowded bus. We .had to stand in the aisle for some distanee until other passengers left the coach. We ''hut , le • good time and reached Windsor about eleven o'clock, had our baggage examined and crossed the border to Detroit. As we intended to stay over night there we made for'the 'Griswold Hotel that we had written several days pre- viously to reserve us-4 room, Reached the hotel a little before 12 o'clock and learned that the roMnsswere all occu- pied as they do not reserve their rooms, Our disappointment at first turned out to Our advantage in the end, The cleric said a returned sol- dier had a- room and was leaving in a few minutes to catch his train, We were glad to . get this room. as 'the soldiers are given the preference and found the room a nice large comfort- able one with all the conveniences. Next morning we were up early and at the bus station to have -our baggage re-checked as we expected...the bus to leave at .3 o'clock. The time was changed to 7 and we just had time to get on the bus. The baggageman hadn't time to check our baggage any farther than Cincinnati and, said we Would have lots of time there to have it re-checked, or - We reached Cincinnati between 7 and 8 p.m. •and' were informed that two busses were leaving for St. Pete. at 8 p,m. We managed to -get on the special bus "Sunshiner" that was running. the next 800 'miles of our journey to JaCksonville. The "San- shiner" has reserved - seats, free a steward and 'toilet, by paying $1.05 each - extra on our tickets. This bus makes faster time as it.stops only- at the large places, By.getting on this bus we reached our destination six hours sooner being in St, Peters- burg l a,nr. VridaY, The weather 'has been ideal since opr arrival, beautiful sunshine every , day, temperature 34' in the day and down to about .64 0 at night. There are a great many people travelling by bus. The soldiers get the preference and others' have to take a chance. At Jacksonville thei't were too many fOr the bus so a number had to wait for the next one, We spent two nights on the bus and were very tired and glad to reach our destination, Our proprietress (Aunt Genie) gave us a svery hearty, welcome, also a free supper and free breakfast to give us a chance to get rested. As these are not normal times people travelling must be prepared for some inconven- iences and disappointments, Since last spring St. Petersburg has become an armed camp as soldiers are everywhere .occupying all the large hotels, apartments and other build- ings. Three newly wed couples of soldiers are in the Cozy Inn apts. where we are located, The tourists are returning ealier this season as we noticed two of our' largest churches were well filled last 'Sunday. As many of bur friends asked us' to drop them a few lines, we thought our local paper was the best medium to ,remember the home folk and thank them for their kindness "and good Wishes for our safe journey. While we enjoy the heat and sunshine of the south we hope Wingham may have a congenial winter for our friends of the north, We were delighted to receive the Advance-Times yesterday and hear the news of 'ionic. • ,) • Yours sincerely,g Mr. and Mrs. Peter Gowans, WESTFIELD Mr, .and Mrs. Gordon Smith - and Barbara, of .Goderich, spent Sunday with Mr,. and ,Mrs. J, L.

BRITISH TRY OUT DRIED VEGETABLES command a good price. What is re- quired in a good market turkey is plenty of meat with, just enough fat to have the meat cook properly, To accomplish this turkeys intended for market should be well fed through- out' the growing period and particu- larly during the few weeks prior to marketing. Feeding with nourishing feeds for sereval weeks before market- ing time should lay down an abund- ance of fleshing and produce suffic- inet fat to put the birds in the top market grade, The common error is to allow the turkeys to seek their feed from range conditions until about thre> weeks be- fore the marketing day and then to feed heavily for the remaining period. Birds which have been reared on range should not be confined to pens or houses during the conditioning' per- iod. If the birds are well' fed they • 1••••••••••• r./ • WOMEN TOO— join"that men may fly." Cana- dian women fill vital jobs in the R.C.A.F. Women's Division, re- leasing men for air crew duties.
