We had a young English airman at cm' place for Sunday and were enjoy- ing a little pre-rationing bacon when he posed a question that set me off on a rather interesting excursion into fancy. He said, "Where does this bacon come from?" Now that seems like a rather easy question to answer but you just think about it. Imagine sitting up on some cold winter night -when a brood sow delivers nine or ten little pigs. Just imagine the different stages of the development of those pigs, They 'have to be weaned and then fed in the proper way so as to get the best de- velopment, They have to have min- erals. There can't be any guess work these days as to when the pigs are ready for market. We have to have bacon of the proper quality if we're going to maintain our position in the postwar bacon trade. The hogs go off to market, The packing plant 'takes Over and trans- forms the pigs into Meat and 'the long, lean sides arc cured and packaged into• jute sacks for their trip - across the oceah, Art tnglish housewife takes ready begun in Canada.

'Toronto Bank Held Up Toronto, — Firing bullets from a 'Tommy gull, three men forced em- Wloyees and a customer in the Bank of Montreal branch at Royce road and 'Symington avenue, in West Toronto, to lie on the floor while one of them 'scooped more than $12,000 from the telles cage.

"Ersati" Rubber Tires On Sale Ottawa, -- The Munitions Depart- m.ent 'announced that under tire ration- ing regulations passenger car tires made of synthetic rubber imported from the United States will bel released for sale immediately, and that 'manu- facture of the synthetic tires has al- ti t her coupons down to the butcher and I gets a weekly allowance of four ounc- es of bacon per person per week, Down each Wiltshire side there is a ribbon of lettering which says Cana- da. The English housewife must certainly thank the Canadian farmers for that good lean bacon every time she buys it, Sometimes I think that farmers. aren't given enough credit for the part ,' they play in this war. It's rather hard to see a bunch of pigs rooting around in a field and then picture the importance of the meat they are build- ing for the United Nations, When you hear a plane zooming across the blue sky with some young airman in it, you are rather, inclined to think wistfully of the thrill he must get in dropping bombs on Germany. Then you begin imagining how dull your own work is in comparison with what' the airman is doing. If we could just use a little more imagination, Possibly we could then see the ships streaming across the ocean in convoys, carrying the food that we produce, Maybe we,. could see the stevedores unloading it and then imagine that we see those ship- loads of food streaming out in car and truckloads across Britain. We would see our own soldiers eating it after a hard day of training for the "big push". We might see the war-work- ing men of the 'United Kingdom com- ing home after a difficult day in the munition plants, sitting down to a meal made up of our meat and cheese supplies. We might even see him sit- ting in his pub discussing the fond that we send overseas. I'm going to remember those thing's this year as I plod along ',)third the seed drill, hoping' that Mother Nature won't be any more cantankerous i,n the future than she has been so far about seeding weather.

Soybean oil is extensively used • by manufacturers, says C. W. Owen, Dominion Experimental Station, Har- row, Ont., where the production of soybeans is a feature. Processing soybean seeds extracts the oil and leaves soybean meal, The oil may be further 'purified and pro- cessed according .to the requirements of the consumeil', Soybean oil is classed as a vegetable oil in common with such oils as linseed, peanut, etc., as contrasted to oils of mineral origin. The oil is also used for food purposes. In the United States over half the soybean oil produced is- used - in shortenings and margarines. The: remainder is used in varying amounts by the soap, paint, varnish, linoleum; and oilcloth, waterproofing and print- ers' ink industries. In these indus- tries soybean oil may be used for its. own characteristics or- to, replace a, portion of other oils, , • 4, Linseed oil is th e principal vege- table oil produced in Canada. There is plenty of room for expansion of soybeans, particularly, in Southwestern, Ontario. Under existing war condi- tions vegetable oils have assnmed usual importance. An fricreasiiig number of dairy farmers are growing soybeans for their own use as a high protein dairy feed and obtaining ex- cellent results. The whole beans are crushed and fed in mixtn,es with other grains. The soybeans could either be marketed and the soybean meal purchased for feed,' thus freeing the nil for commerce, or an additional acreage of soybeans for marketing" -;ttrposes could l),„ grown.
