• • That old saying, so well known to farm folks :
`Plow to the end of the furrow' . so aptly makes
our duty plain. And the end of the furrow is beyond
the horizon.
bur men on the fighting fronts have weary, trying
days ahead of them. We, on the home front, must
not waver nor falter. Our duty is clear, we must
keep faith with ourfighters. On Canadianiarms we
must maintain our efforts to produce the foods our
fighters and our allies need. That work will
reward us with increased incomes.
And we must save . . . to have money to lend to our
country to pay the increased costs that this war
continues to pile up.
Money invested in Victory Bonds will help to buy
the tools of war. They don't last long in action:
They must be replaced. It's our job : the home
front job . . . to see to it that our fighting men have
'everything they need.
Victory Bonds yield a double harvest. They pro-
vide our country with money to carry on the war.
Later, they will provide money to buy things we
will want and need, and which we have done
without during the war. Victory Bonds will pro-
vide cash to pay fiir improvements for farm and
home . . . new buildings . . . new machinery : :
better stock . . . new car . . : furnishings and
conveniences for the home: . • • -

SEA FOOD SAGA
Many of the well-known sea-foods,
including the oyster and" scallop, flour-
ished long before man was here to
appreciate them. The fossilized re-
mains of these shell-fish occupy a con-
spicuous place in the vast and varied
collections of the Royal Ontario
Museum.
The scallop, like the oyster, belongs
to the roup of molluscs known as
"bi-valves", a name which has refer-
ence to the two shells which enclose
and protect the soft animal. The mode
of life of these two creatures Is very
different. The sedentary oyster is
fastened to rocks or other objects in
near-shore• areas. The active scallop
swims freely in coastal marine waters
as deep as two hundred fathoms or
more. Its power of movement is seat-
ed in a single muscle that closes the
shells. This hard-worked muscle is
the part we eat—the white and tender
bit which tastes somewhat like lobster
meat. The other soft parts within the
shell we cast away. Strange though
it may seem, the inactive oyster has
so tough a muscle that we discard it,
but regard the remainder as a delicious
morsel.
Unlike the oyster, the, scallop is in
season the 'year round, Many species
are known and are widely distributed.
Mulititudes of individual scallops as-
semble in restricted areas to form
"scallop banks" from which they are
dredged. Two species in particular
frequent Atlantic waters, notably from
Labrador to Cape Cod. Nova Scotia
waters, especially those in the Bay of
Fundy, provide quantities of scallops
for markets in Canada and elsewhere.
