(Experimental Fantle News)
The main purpose of increasing
the acreage and production or this
crop is to provide more vegetable
oil, which is urgently needed. in
order to fulfill title purpose, soybean
growers should see that their beans
,are delivered to the hills for the oil
to be extracted, There Is much to
be gained by doing thls, for, in
addition to the high cash value of
the crop Itself, 1t has been demon-
'strated that the soybean oil meal
has a higher feed value arca' live.
'stock than the beano themselves,
,states F. DImmock, Division of For-
age Plants, Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa.
Obviously the first thing for a
Drowse to do 1s to put aside sur-
floient seed for an increased
aoreage next year. The remainder
of the crop should go to the mill
in preference to retaining any
p011105 of it for feed purposes.

Some growers lave for many

the principal reason for it is that
in the 011 extraction process the
protein of the beans is heated and
partially cooked and this makes it
both more palatable, more digest
ible and therefore more efficient.
For pigs and poultry whole soybeans
are quite unsatisfactory, but the
meal can be fed to great advantage.
Oue or the great disadvantages of
the beans as feed is, of course, the

CANADIAN WAR SERVICES
IN ENGLAND
Uy Walter T. Legge
The Canadian Government has
taken over the financing of all the
war services with the exception of
the Red Cross which the internation•
al convention stipulates must be
entirely free of government control.
This step has relieved the country
from a mul(iplicity of campaigns
for funds, 1)ut it has also taken away
vome of the personal contact which
the public previously had with these
services,
They are, however, a very import-
ant pant of the soldiers life when
away frau home, and they farmed
an interesting part of the Canadian
Editors' investigations while in
England.
Each one of them makes a special
effort to minister to the needs of
the mall on active service when
travelling or on leave. They provide
many services to 'nen• who are visit-
ing London, and we were shown
over some of the places where these
services are provided.
The first one we visited was a Can-
adian Legion. Hostel, which is locat-
ed in a building originally construct-
ed for a girls' club, but which hail
never been. used before being taken
over by the Canadian Legion, This
FIostel, one of many operated' by the
Canadian Legion, is able to ae001n•
=Elate 1500 amen, and facilities are
provided for them to wash and iron
their clothes while there without
cost. Becl and hrealcfast costs three
shillings, and this is about the
average prices at the many hostels
operated, by the various services.
We next called at a Salvation
Army hostel which is located in a
former hotel, and which has 858
beds. Among the names a1 the
register at this hostel were Corpl. M.
E. 'Carr, New Liskeard, Ont., L. B.
Mullin, Pembroke, and 'H, Seven: -
lege, Waterford, Ont.
The iSalvation. Army, or Sally Ann,
05 it is frequently called, has a very
apodal place in the hearts of the
troops we were told. When we
asked wily, our informant could not
give any special reason, except that
they always seemed to be there
when needed.
The Leinster Club was the hostel
operated by the Y.M,C,A. which
we visited and this also is in what
was formerly a residential hotel.
We were shown through by Captain
W. S. G, MaoDairmid, and Capt. Mc-
Murtrie, a brother of Dr. MoMurtrle
of Montreal. Mr, and Mrs. George,
who own the building, manage the
club for the Y.M.Q.A. Fifty-five
cents is the charge for bed and
breakfast,
Still another former hotel, which
is now operated by the Knights of
Coluln:bes, was the next hostel to be
visited, and here Capt. H, McDonald,
of Edmonton escorted the editors
through the building. One of the
features of this hostel is the tine
food canteen. It is the fourth hostel
in London operated by the K. of 0,
and a fifth was going to be opened
In 'September, so we were informed,
The Maple Leaf Club, operated by
the Canadian Red Cross was another Services, in cooperation with the
hostel visited and here soave names 10110 and Pats .&cbnjnlstration oe tine

Each editor was given a copy or
the Nub calendar, a book of 113
pages listing important events of
history, a guide to the chief places
01' interest, lists of churches, hos-
pitals, theatres, etc., and mucin oilier
useful Information including a map
of the London 'LTu•derground Rail-
ways, the ]whale forming a valuable
pocket book of information,
Another club visited was the
Beaver C1911, which 15 probably
vlsited by more Canadians than any
other. The building suffered some
damage in •a raid, but repairs were
almost completed when we were
there.
Not far from the Beaver Club is
the Canadian Officers Club, which
receives a great deal of help from
Mrs. Vincent Massey, the wife of
Canada's High Commissioner, an,l
we found her busy serving soup
Cleve wilco we visited the club.
Here we met PO, E. L. Stovill, of
Timmins and [x0, J. R. Mowbray, of
Oshawa, who were expecting to gn
to the Near East soon after we
were there. Names noticed on the
register included ,Capt, R.W.G.
Hughes, of Owen Sound, PO, W. E.
Pee, of Swift 'Current, Lieut. C. G.
Goff of Sherbrooke, PO, M. P. Ward,
or Kentville, N,S., and Capt. Larry
Audrav, of Winnipeg.
Excellent meals at low prices are
served in all these places, and the
hostels also have very nice rooms.
The men on leave can find 1n them
accommodation equal if not superior
to most of the hotels at a great
saving in cost. The way that these
services are appreciated is shown
by the way thatthese clubs, and
hostels are crowded all the time.
There was one criticism which we
heard and that is that Canadians are
unable to buy Canadian cigarettes
over there. The N.A.A.F.I, canteens
which serve the camps carry only
English cigarettes which do not
seem to be popular with the Can.
adieus. The complaint is that While
American soldiers can. buy American
cigarettes in their regimental can-
teens to the extent of one carton a
week, Canadians can only buy
English cigarettes In the N,A.A.F.1
canteens.
The Canadians however profit by
the better arrangement for sending
41'anailian cigarettes overseas at a
much better price than prevails In
other countries, and if the sale of
Canadian cigarettes In, the canteens
would stop the sendieg of cigarette;
at the 300 for one dollar price, they
would probably prefer to keep the
status quo.
The larger camps are given
wondenfnl entertainment by the
NAAFL E.N.,S,A. which bring
troupes of London stars to the
camp theatres. As a sample of
these shows rr•e were taken to the
DMA theatre at Aldershot. Ad-
mission, was limited to men in un1
form, and the show was an .excep-
tionally high class and clever
review. Thousands attend these
theatres each week.
All these services do their part in
keeping the Canadian troops in ex-
cellent spirit.
SALVAGE
OTTAWA, December 7t11 --A Domih-
toil-wide campaign for the collection
of rats and bones has been launched
by the National Salvage Division
of the Department of National War
on the register included Sant. Sanv-
a.getau, Shawingigan Falls, Que., and
Cpl. A. D, Taylor, 0r Huntingdon,

The Union Jack Club is unlike
the other clubs we visited in that it
is a permanent service mens' 01u
having been first opened in 1907,
and operated continuously ever
since, and it is for all service men of
the entire Empire. It is the largest
one that we saw and has been
visited by over one hundred
thousand Canadian soldiers• since
the outbreak of the war. 31 11as
many recreation rooms not found in
the other curbs and meals are served
there at all hours of the day and

Conservation of butter is urged by

simple self -rationing will in the
opinion of officials, tide the county
over the period of "deficiency pro-

CHRISTMAS always calls for a
full picture record. At this sea-
son of happiness and cheer, every-
one feels the need of snapshots
which will preserve the occasion and
keep its memory fresh.
Most Christmas activities center
about the tree, bright with lights,
ornaments, and tinsel. Naturally you
want the tree to show up well in
your pictures. But it's a rather dark
alibied, and unless you take a few
special precautions in fighting, it
may come out too black in the prints.
To picture the tree most effoc-
tvely, use three photo lights instead
of two. Concentrate the light from
two bulbs on the front of the tree.
Thenplace the third holo behind
the tree, with the reflector turned so
that all the light Shines en the well,
This back light outlines the tree
clearly; while the front lights help
show de}ail and decorations.
Sometimes s a silhouette iYoatetto of the tree
is interesting, To obtain this, place

is used, snapshot exposures can be

Sma11 Christmas tree lights may
be left on when the picture is taken,
to add to the effect. But never allow
brilliant, "raw" light from a photo
bulb to shine into the lens. Turn
the photo light or move the camera
so that the lens is properly shaded.
Of course, your Christmas pic-
tures should' include more than just
