Grapes are Ripe for Jelly and
I From the beginning of history,
tonnoisseurs of food have always
Biwiesiated the grape. Music and
poetry have always sung its praises.
'And while it is true that the grapes
of the old country were good, it is a well-known fact that American
soil is particularly well' adapted to
this fruit. The wealth of our
climate alsd produces an infinite
Nariety in types of grapes, '
F But whatever type of grape is
hvailable, there is one thing cer-
tain, it will make a delicious sweet
Spread. Then, too, the grape is
such a versatile fruit .. . in addi-
tion to jams and jellies, there are
conserves, grape butter and subtle
combinations with other fruits.
Modern recipes assure us of a
-Perfect product, and they save both
time and energy. Tested recipes
turn out jellies with a half-minute
boil and jams in only a minute or
(so. Every batch of fruit means
half-again more glasses and the
rich flavor of fully ripe fruit.
TrY, these today:;',
Grape Jelly
,(Makes about 11 medium glasses)
5 cups juice
61/2 cups sugars
1 box powdered fruit pectin
To prepare juice, stem about 31
pounds fully ripe grapes and crush
them thoroughly. Add 1% cups
water, bring to a boil, and simmer,
covered, 10 minutes. Place fruit
in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze
put juice.
Measure sugar into dry dish and
Set 'aside until needed. Measure
deice into a. 5- to 6-quart saucepan.
Place over hottest fire. Add
powdered fruit pectin, mix well,
and continue stirring until mixture
comes to a bard boil. At once pour
in sugar, stirring constantly. Con-
tinue stirring, bring to a full rolling
boil and boil hard ya minute. Re-
move from fire, skim, pour quickly.,
Paraffin hot jelly at once.
*3 14, cups light corn syrup may
be substituted for py‘ cups of the
sugar.
Concord Grape Butter
41/a cups pulp
7 cups sugars
3 bottle fruit pectin
To prepare fruit, stem about 5
pounds fully ripe grapes and crush
thoroughly. Add JA cup water,
bring to a boil, cover, and simmer
5 minutes. Separate juice from
pulp by placing hot fruit in 2-quart
sieve. Run enough juice through'
a double layer of cheesecloth held
in a small sieve to obtain 4 cups
strained juice. Use for making
grape jelly or grape juice. Rub
grapes, from which juice has drain-
ed, through sieve to obtain pulp.
Measure sugar and grape pulp
into large kettle, filling up last cup
with excess juice or water, if
necessary. Mix well.
Bring to a full rolling boll ever
hottest fire. Stir constantly before
and while boiling. Boil hard. 1 minute.
Remove from fire and stir in
bottled fruit pectin. Pour quickly.
Paraffin hot butter at once. Makes
about 11 glasses (6 fluid ounces
each).
*2 cups light corn syrup may be
substituted for 2 cups of the sugar.

By Jim Greenblat
This column which goes out to far
and hindermost reaches of Canada,
feels it cannot over-emphasize the ap-
peal to the "small investor" to think
-of the contribution he or she is going
to, or should, make to the forthcoming
Fifth Victory Loan, Everywhere, in
all the towns and villages-they tell
me at headquarters here-great pre-
parations are being made by local com-
mittees to top local objectives. You
know the fellows-your banker, your
baker, your merchant, your school
teacher, your farni community leader,
your ordinary guy working behind the
counter, will be appealing to you to
'Speed Victory." The hundreds of re-
leases,which go .through this office
from army, navy, and airforce, telling
in piecemeal of the epic deeds, the sac-
rifices of your boys over there impels
me to keep this subject "hot" before
you and to try and convey the idea
of the tremendous urgency of sending
,your spare dollars to strengthen mus-
cles of our war effort.

Our producers in Canada will be a
fundamental of any post-war econom-
ics, national and international. The
-coal miner, the farmer, the fisherman,
the fruit grower, ,have a job ahead.
'This was pointed out in Ottawa in
speeches before clubs made this week
by a distinguished visitor. William
Mabane, M. P., parliamentary secre-
tary to the British Minister of Fodd,
Lord Woolton. He emphasized that
our task to produce food stuffs will be
,one of the greatest' in history, because
Europe right now is in a 'state of nut-
ritional exhaustion." He was sure our
post war problem would not be sur-
pluses, but maybe shortages in such
things as we produce in this country;
:meats, dairy products, fats and oils.
Another interesting point he made-
.and I must boil these down to space
-that out of every $10 worth of food
bought in Britain $9,50 is controlled.

A former weekly newspaperman,

strong, the Boy Scouts seek to raise
money for summer camp equipment, a

not a little thing, but a big one. These
are boys whom we'll depend on to

visionary days of peace come; our
future citizens, workers, business men,
statesmen, Sure, the folks aren't go-
ing to turn the Scouts down on Apple

One of the greatest of all discoveries
in bacteria killing drugs; pencillin, a
miracle for war wounds, and which
will also be invaluable in peacetime, is
to be produced in Toronto and Mont-
real in Dominion government financed
plants, employing 250 men and women.
The initial contract is for .26 -billion
units largest single order for medical
supplies placed by Monitions depart-
merit, The plants will be in opera-
tion by February, 1944 and by mid-
April a weekly average production of
00 million units is expected, Pencil-
lin has certain qualities superior to
sulfa drugs, It is produced through
growth of a mould, similar to that
you'll find on. cheese, When you hear
of billions of units, don't think there
will be enough right away to serve
all humanity, I am told that in diffi-
cult cases it takes between two and
three million units of pencillin, so fig-
ore it out that way
* * *
AS one keeps coming' across facts
and figures on Canada's part in the
United Nations war effort one has to
look past the word "government" to
that of "people" to realize the gigan-
tic collective job being done. Just
imagine the men and women hours in
the terse atatement that more than
36% of the motorized equipment used
throughout the entire Middle East
was of Canadian make; also 50% of
the load carrying vehicles used by
General Montgomery's 8th Army in
North Africa. It's hard to realize that
our 1943 production of scientific in-
struments for war purposes totalled
250 million dollars. We have 1,110,000
workers engaged in munitions work
turning out 55 million dollars worth a
week. Since the war started the Dom-
inion has expanded on war construc-
tion and production 6112 billion dol-
lars. Why, Canada has built two of
the largest blast furnaces in the Brit-
ish Empire, this summer turning out
pig iron at the rate of two and a half
million tons a year.
* * *
Getting less publicity than the Navy,
Army, or Air Force, but nevertheless
worthy of the highest praise and re-
spect of the people are Canada's Mer-
chant Seamen. They are a numerous
lot too, judging by the fact that 49,500
are certified to date in the central reg-
istry in Ottawa. Casualities from
merchant ships of Canadian registry
alone: 660 missing and presumed dead;
147 captured by the enemy and now
prisoners of war.
* * * * ,
There are three or four funda:.ien-
tals in the recently announced plan for
the reorganization of the operational
formation of the Canadian Army in
Cana.da. There will be no let-up or
modification in the Overseas pro-
gramme. All men fit for combat ser-
vice are retained in the Army. ,Many
of those who are medically unfit or
average for combat duty will be trans-
ferred to highly important but less act-
ive duties in the various units which
are necessary for the support and
training and servicing and supplying
of operational forces. Those in still
lower medical categories or otherwise
unsuitable for service in less active
roles within the Army will be dis-
charged and made available for essen-
flat war work in civilian .:capacities.
"Disbanding"- the 7th, 8th and part of
the 0th Divisions does not mean that
Canada will be without defences for
her two coasts, Far from it, The
Places of the Divisions will be taken
by.hard-hitting, more compact brigade
groups. There will be fewer men do-
big the coastal defence job, but ()Wing
to the elimination of the mediCally un-
fit, the smaller units ,should be, man
for man, more 'efficient; It is also im-
portant to keep in mind that the re-
duction. in size of the operational units
is the result - of the improved strag-
etic situation. The pOssibility of an
enemy invasion of this continent-
which was very real for a while when
the laps were occupying Kiska, for
example,-is now once again as re-
mote.

Interesting note to farmers: A ton
of timothy hay contains about 18 lbs.
of nitrogen, 61/4 lbs. of phosphoric
acid, and around 30 lbs, of potash,
This is rather more than would be re-
turned to the land by a 'ton of ordin-
ary green farmyard manure, If no
fertilizers were applied, continuous
crops of timothy would rapidly deplete
the soil, the same is true in a general
way of other grasses, the Department
of Agriculture states.

Where does the national coffer get
its filling? Part of it is from excise
and income tax. During the month of
August just past ,for instance, the
"take" was $201,615,800 as compared
with $160,392,837 in the same month
last year, which is about a 20% in-
crease. Of this amount income tax
alone accounted for $121,490,570 and
this is an "up" of over' 25 millions.
WAYS TO PREVENT
SOIL WASHING
Soil washing or sheet, erosion is the
most common form of soil wastage
from the sandy loam soils in Eastern
Canada. Heavy rain falls on cultivat-
ed soil cause a movement of fine parti-
cles of soil down every slope. The
steeper the slope the more rapid the
movement of surface water from either
rain or melted snow, says j, A. Clark,
Superintendent, Dominion Experimen-
tal Farm, Charlottetown, P. E. I.
By ploughing and cultivating across
the slope of the land or by following
contours the movement of water is de-
layed so that it soaks into the ground
or moves more slowly to lower levels.
The ridging up of land along the con-

tours in the autumn prevents washing.
On moderate slopes the sowing of fall
rye immediately after digging potatoes
will retain much soil that otherwise
would have been carried away. This
rye can be pastured in the spring,
plowed down as green manure for an-
other crop, or harvested for grain.
Step slopes should be kept perman-
ently in grass or planted to trees to re.
tain the fertile soil, Such land when
valuable enough to be retained in
crop production can be terraced to re-
tard the movement of water down hill.
The spillways from the terraces should
remain in tough fibrous rooted grasses
and be so made and kept that the soil
is protected against free running wat-
er, These spillways should be graded
so that the water will flow down them
and avoid any steep deScent, removing
the surplus water by uniform slope to
a stream or outlet,
Briefly: Stop soil washing by slow-
ing up the movement of surface water.
Locate contours and work along them,
Use grass, grain and trees to retain the
surface soil, the nation's most valuable
possession. Stop all gullies in the
making by diverting small streams
with snow, earth onother materials or
direct the water by terracing and spill-
ways. Prevention of washing away is
the cheapest method of preserving soil
fertility.
MONTREAL STREET
UPSIDE DOWN
It really isn't topsy-turvy, but Mon-
treal has a new street which is prac-
ically upside down, that is to say, the
offices and structures it serves are
underneath the roadway instead of
being nicely regimented along each
side of the pedestrian walks. The
name of 'this street, is "East" and it
was built by the Canadian National
Railwasy as part of the facilities re-
quired by the new Central station. It
is 1158.5 feet in length, with a width
between kerbstones of 54 feet and an
overall width of 71 feet, 10' inches. It
is paved, well lighted and affords a
handy bypass in a crowded area.
Throughout its length only one door-
way appears and that leads into the
eastern side of the new station buildl
ing. However, below the street` are
facilities sufficient to make it popu-
lous and busy. There is a big covered
garage, an entrance passage to the
station concourse, the Canadian Legion
"Welcome Room" for men and wom-
en of the active services, women's rest
rooms, part of the general waiting
room', immigration' offices, coloniza-
tion office, barber shop, the company's
investigation department,- a soda bar,
taximen's shelter and some other offi-
ces, in all of which business is trans-
acted without any awareness of vehic-
ular traffic passing overhead. On a
small scale East street affords an ex-
ample of the possibilities for future
extension in the Canadian National
Railways station area When enterprise
will lead to the erection of buildings
over the entire track area.
How To Get Value
From Farm Woodlot
The farm woodlot has been proved
over and over again to be a good in-
vestment, and wherever possible every
farmer should have his own re-forest-
ation or conservation plan, in addition
to ally ` pro3incial 'scheilie;ThigeS the
Dominion Forest Service, Most farms
have an area of rough or strong land
that would produce more revenue as a
woodlot if properly cared for than as
a rough pasture. It is .on record that
one farmer who has followed good
woodlot practice, and who has kept
records of everything 'he has removed.
found that the land in bush was pro-
ducing more revenue than the rent of
the farm.
In the management of a woodlot, it
is important to observe one or two
things. Cattle should not be allowed
to graze in the bush because they de-
troy all the young growth which pro-
tects the roots of the trees from dying
out, When cutting wood for fuel, it
is advisable to remove all dead trees,
and in order to find the dead trees eas-
ily in the winter, it is a good plan to
