The textile supply situation is now among themost serious problems facing the Wartime Prices and Trade Board and in its annual report atten- tion is drawn to the fact that "throughout the world war demand's for manpower brought a deteriora- tion in both the size and the quality of the' labor force engaged in textile production with a consequent de- cline in output." As a means of helping to ease the situation and conserving all possible supplies. for the most urgent needs the Consumer Branch of the Board some time ago organized remake centres where women are given. in- structions free of charge in rede- signing and making garments which are useless to their original owners.

If meats and vegetables site cooked in a minimum quantity of water and all the juices and broths 'are used in sauce or gravies, there will be a greater retention of all the nutrients since many of the vitamins and ruin a eras salts are soluble in water? You can clarify .neat or chicken broth by heating the strained broth, (from which all the fat has been emoved) with' the crushed egg shell d beaten white of an egg, As it ats, the egg white collects any lid particles in the broth so that ter straining off the egg, it conies out clear. Even though nutrition has Mr - proved; in Canada and the United State% food economists admit that there are wide variations in family diets? To bring below-average, diets up to higher nutritional standards, they recommend the use of more milk; eggs, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Small oranges are a better. buy for juice purposes than big oranges? Tests have shown that the juice from little oranges generally is higher in quality -that is, higher in ,acid and vitamin C than Medium- sized fruit and higher still than that of the large fruit. (These tests were made on Florida oranges: ' Dried peas, beans, 'lentils and other legumes or nuts may be used occasionally to, take the place of meat if milk is served at the same meal? Sweet ,potatoes are now being used in breakfast foods, as candy and as a milk powder for a hot or cold drink?

Wells; 1924. If you want to build a modern barn, or buy new equipment or electrify your form- or arm or modernize your house ...then havea talk with your bank manager about his new powers under the Farm improvement Loans Act. How often have you said "If I could only raise the ,money!".. Well,. if you • could, what would you do to improve your farm and increase your. pro- duction? Would you 'bbiid a modern barn'? or buy new machinery? or modernize your house? or electrify your farm? You can raise short term money from your bank; and long term money from other institutions by way of mortgage. But there are some things you would like to do which require loans that are neither long nor short.:. That is where the banks, operating under the new Farm Improvement Loans Act, can help you. The gap has been filled. "Intermediate" loans at a specially low rate can now be obtained for periods of two or three years—or even longer, is cases up to ten years. So, if you have a project in mind to improve your farm, drop in and talk it over with your local bank manager. Ask him what he is now em- powered to do to help make your farm living more. attractive and your work more profitable. • He will tell you -and show you—that your bank is just as eager to meet the sound credit needs of the farmer :,as of the merchant or manufacturer.1) This Advertisement is Sponsored by your FARM POISON LICKS Farmersare certainly "promising" the se 1 m verrb t ou, l e when cattle are allowed to lick freshly painted fences, billboards, stanchions, and other structures. .That is because paint is the arrest common source of lead around the barnyard, and more farm animals are poisoned by lead than by any other metallic poison. v FLY SPOILS LEATHER Warble fly control means more meat, more leather, and more milk, with no more feed required'. Control of this fly stops the fly from caus- ing stampeding cattle in the fields; prevents the loss of much condemn. ed ineat, and saves leather. Hundreds of thousands of pairs of shoe soles never get to rliarket because of grubby hides. MAGGOT'S PARENT The parent op adult of the cab- bage maggot, one of the most serious pests attacking cruoiferous crops (cabbage, cauliflower, turnip, (radish,, cress, mustard and other plants of that family, is a fly which closely resembles the house fly in size, shape and colour. It appears in the spring, when the wild plum comes first inti bloom and lays its eggs on the stems of transplants -and seedlings, or in the soil at their base. Corrosive sublimate 'applied to.' the stems and the soil at the base makes an effec- tive, remedy. v , NOT A LOCUST The strident note, frequently heard during hot days- in July and attributed to• the locust, is not pro- duced by that insect' but by -a large black and green species, known as the cicada.
