MARCH ON THDER STOMACHS
Hello, Homemakers! The daring
,Commandos, shock troops of the
ADJies, learn to march and fight for
days on less food. than an average
production worker would consider
necdsleaty to keep Mtn going. Hard
Physical training on balanced ra-
tions of weflaprepared, foods in their
packs makes their daring expedi-
tions possible.
'Prodnotion 'brigades — workers
on the home front — also need to
carry balanced rations and nourish -
Mg food in their dlinner pails. Care-
fully prepared, neatly packed. sand-
wiches, with a bit of variety added
every day in ,the way of fruit or
something similar to the casserole
dish, can make every lunch -box
interesting,
Sandwiches., the mainstay of the
lunch, ,sibouldt be made of whole
grain bread or enriched flour bread.
Fillings, should always be minced.
Savoured and laligihltly moistened
with salad dressing, ketchup,
pickles, etc. Always include a freeh
fruit or raw vegetable, because
they are refreshing, good, and nice
to bite, Be sure to add a twist of
salt to dip celery, radishes, etc., in.
Because men are still boys, at heart,
add some kind of sweet to their
boxes, as, well as to the ,girls' --
Mit-turnover, Stied cookies, a
'handful of raisins, or a few apricots.

IN THE GARDEN
Spring opened unusually early in
many parts of Canada this. year, but,
,as generality happens after a warm
spell, the weather turned cold again,
and some enthusiasts who, rushed
tinier gardening operations probably
regretted! it later.
A,dnvittedly, there is a thrill in get-
ting the garden planted weeks
earlier than usual, and if all goes
well there is also a thrill in Picking
the first flowers or sampling the
first begetables weeks! ahead of the
neigJ]3bonsl. But, as, the experts
point out, there is solid satisfaction
at leant in, having the garden harvest
last weeks longer than is possible
When, everything• is planted on a
single afternoon,
The beginner almost invariably
suffers 8ronn an overdose of spring
fever and plants too soon. There is
no harms in planting a portion of the
garden very early, but for maximum
results all plantings, and this' egpea
tally applies to vegetables, should be
spread out. This .prolongs the
harvesting seaston of readily fresh
vegetables, eases the work of culti-
vation and planting, and' makes for
store even results.
In• most part' of the Dominion
there is ,still plenty of time to
plant all vegetables, and of the
tender and semi -tender sorts it is
not oda/feeble to consider the main
planting until now, ,

to war 'against garden insects. and
diseases as it is to, general health,

lea are divided luto three types --
fungus, that mildew or wilt the
foliage; sucking insects widelt pro-
duce the same results; and the
eating klnd,s which literally devour
the foliage. Burning or drying
slpraya and dusts will handle the
best two, while the "eaters" should
be destroyed wish a poison.
Cultivation
,KiJ,11ng weeds is only one of the
fun,ction,s of garden. cultivation. Of
equal importance isr the stirring up
of the soil to prevent sourness,
baking, and to cheek evaporation of
valuable moisture, In the dryer
sections, of Canada the latter point
is vital. By breaking up dine
surface we produce a mulch which
cheeks the capililary action or up-
ward movement of .moisture to the
top of tate son ,surface where it
might be evaporated by the sun.
Usually one thorough cultivation
of the garden previous to planting,
or among the perennials, and shrubs
early in the spring, foiloweu by a
couple more at two-week Intervale'
during the growing season, will be
sufficient. But in dry years or
seaotns when, weed growth is ex-
cessive, more, may be needed.
