The Battle of Prices

Inflation still is set to go, •

To start a landslide like we had

And tried to get a' business go-

And he—with thousands hit the

And half. the world was hi the

.A wreck that spelled catastrophe
For littlefolk like you and me.

And • now that we have won this
wee "
I Again will prices try to soar
;With goods a bit in short supply;
We wouldn't even have to try
To boost the ceiling on all things,
From cabbages to wedding rings,

WHAT SCIENCE
IS DOING
'Stoop'. Remover
Granted that it may cause a new
field of unemployment for job -
finding agencies to work out, stoop
laborers engaged itt sugar -beet pro-
duction will be glad to learn of the
development •of methods and ma-
ceinery by which much of the
stoop is removed.
According to Roy Bainer, Asso-
ciate Professor of Agrieulturai En-
gineering in the College of of Agri-
culture of the University of Cali-
efornia, who has been tackling the
two peaks of labor in sugatsbeet
production, machinery has been
• perfected which already has re-
duced from 78 to 55 the inae-hours •
required to raise an acre of sugar
beets.
The sugar beet seed ball is ii;ade
of from two to live seeds; by pre-
• cision .planting of only one seed
front the ball, it is estimated that
5,000,000 man-hours of labor • were
saved in the, United States last
year. By means of mechanical
thinning man-hours per acre were
reduced from 27 to 2.45.
Once the seed is plented, and
' thinned, the titre comes for
harvesting. To save man-hours in
this stage of production, a me-
, chanical harvester has been de-
veloped after years t experimen-
tation, With the use of this ma-
chine, labour requirements will drop
-
from 78 man-hours per acre to 40
or 45, perhaps even lower,
With stoop labor so reduced, and'
„when manufacturers adopt the new
methods, Professor Bainer believes
that the United States can compete
, with any sugar -growing conntry
in the world while still paying fair
labor prices. s •

average person speaks 10,0.00,

Ration 'Fashion
Planned For TwO.
The use of tokens for meat' pm-
cheses does •much to simplify re-
lent plannieg for the small family
for it means that greater variety
itt meat purchases is possible.
Here is a suggested buying plan
• for a ramify of two whose weekly
ration is two meat- coupons or 16
tokens.
What to Buy.
• 94 lb. lamb chops ..S.Group C,
• ji lb. bacon, A,
4 tokens
lb. nanthurgei C,
/2 lb. liver 'C,
54 lb. veal cutlets ....Group B,
.3 tokens
lb. cold cuts ......Group C,
• 1 token
• Ye Ib, fish fillas .,.,unrationed
How to the It
The weekend's purchase of •g
lb, lamb chops will allow enough
to take care of a gitest for Sunday
dinner. The hainburger stretched
ssith cups bread -crumbs makes
a meat loaf that will give Six serv-
ings. Serve it ltot on Monday and
cold on Tuesday.
Serve Sitter on Wednesday and
use any leftover liver • together -
with the remains of the Meat loaf
for a savoury stuffing -for green
peppers„ or small squash for Thurs-
day's dinner.
• On Friday, use unratioeed fish.
The veal cutlets served in tomato
sauce will. ina.keew 'substantial din-
ner on Saturday.
The cold cuts and bacon will
help in the planning of „lunches:
If bacon is not aiailable, tWo, to-.
kens might be used for sausages •
and two carried ove: to mak e it
possible, to buy a roast the fol-
lowing week.
Why TheHurry-!
it is certainly • premature for
the retail meat trade to. declare
definitely that rationing won't
work before they have had- a
chance properly to test the sys.
tem, asserts the Winnipeg Free
Press. The method or coupon ra-
tioning should be tried for several
weeks, not for several days, be-
fore the trade makes up Its mind.
Until the retail trade can make
—a constructive ,prepoPaj. showing
how Canadian obligations •abroad
can be fulfilled without imposing
the,present sYSten; of meat ration-
ing, then this -present eyetem will
have to be retaieed. 11, however,
the retail trade has a concrete.
plan whereby meat exports can
be increased' without causing the
inconveniences 'which the present
plan of meat rationing necessarily
mposes, then the. Government can.
improve the present system on the
basis of that plan. But on 'sib se.
count caft we fail to make' good
our promises to people who are
literally starving.

that officers are allowed to keep
