However, the potato being somewhat deficient in protein and fats, should not be used exclusively in the diet but combined with lean meat, eggs, or other pro- tein or fat -supplying foods. The following recipes are taken from the bulletin "Canadian 'Vege- tables for Every Day" which may be obtained free on application. from the Publicity and Extension Division, Do- minion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa. , Potato Soup 2 cups mashed potatoes 2 slices onion 1 teaspoon chopped parsley '1 quart milk 2 tablespoons flour 2 teaspoons 'butter Salt and 'pepper.

The quantity of `marketable pota-, toes is lower than total production due to losses in storage from rot. The development. of Late Blight Rot hi the 'late 'crop was spotted, in that some districts suffered to a greater extent than others. The earlier mat- uring varieties, such as Cobbler, Warba, Chippewa and Katadin, es. caped damage from Late Blight 'Rot on account of the foliage being more mature or dead before the attack came, which was during the month of September, while some districts re- ceived a killing frost on Sept. 61h. wliic'h destroyed the ,green foliage and prevented Late Blight from be- coming established. This reduced the yield in these areas, but potatoes of good keeping quality were .harvested. Growers are discarding as well as possible the infected tubers and mar- keting the better portion 'o'f their erop, A further development often occurs, and much dissatisfaction is experienced :by dealers and consum- ers. There are, however, large quan- tities of Ontario potatoes free deem disease and of good 'keeping and cooking quaiity. To a great extent these potatoes are 'being held for mar- keting later when 'higher (prices are expected. Potatoes 'of this 'quality are. now 'bringing about 25 cents per bag premium over stook that has a per- tentage of disease. Reports from the provinces east of Ontario state that a considerable portion of the crop will he discarded on account 30 the Late Blight Rot. The yield in eastern pro- vinces was reduced by unfavorable weather. 'conditions. The market shows a strong tend- ency and higher priced are expected in the early ;pant of '11939. Lower Farm Produce Duties Concessions on dairy end poultry products in the new Canada -United States agreement are much the same as those in the n936 agreement. The duty on cream 'has .now been reduced from, 315 to 28.:3 .cents per gallon and the quota, left at' 1,1500,000 gallons. On whole milk the rate has been reduced from 6% to 3'X. .cents .per gallon an a quantity not to exceed 3,000,000 gall ns. The specific duty on Ched- dar cheese is reduced from 5 to 4 cents per, pound and has been extend- ed to include other non -processed types of Cheddar cheese. .On dried (buttermilk the duty has been cut from 3 to 11/ cents per pound. The duty on ducks and geese is ,dropped from 10 to 6 cents per pound, and the rate on eggs in shell of 'hens and Counter Check Books We ire.

On bats and by-product anneal feed the rates have been cut 'by :50%. For other major items the reduction averaged somewhat less than 30%. The United States has reduced the duty on both maple sugar and maple syrup. The former is reduced from 4 to 3 cents per poenel and the 'latter from 4 to 2 cents per pound. The rate on frozen blueberries is .cut from '26 to 1795 per cent, and unfrozen blueberries from 1J to 01 tent a pound. In the case of .cut flowers, a reciprocal re- duction from 40 to 05 per cent ad val- orem has been made by, both coun- tries. Broilers For Market The 'buyer who can afford luxuries can usually afford to be discriminat- ing. Broilers may be considered in the luxury class of food products, when ,properly prepared for market. When ,disposing of the surplus cock- erels as bnailers it is well to bear this in mind and market the ,birds in the most attractive way. It pays to 'please the .buyer, and when there is keen competition it bebomes still more advisable, When 'catering to a select private trade it may speed up sales if the carcass is completely dressed and put up in an attractive carton. When sold drawn, the shrinkage will be about 40, per cent of the live weight, and a proportionate price must be realized to pay for the !foss in weight and extra labor. Those birds should be selected that have made good growth; these will be found. to 'be ,lamp and well feathered. The well feathered birds have less pin -feathers and consequently dress (better. Starve the birds for at least twelve hours. 'but give plenty of fresh 'drink- ing water 'before killing. Kll them by braining and bleeding; and dry pick. Sometimes to save time the semi - scald may be advisable. In this case bleed and thoroughly immerse the carcass for not more than 30 seconds in ,water heated to a temperature of not mare than 1(27 degrees F. It is important to keep the water at an even temperature; over -heating will give a skin -cooked unattractive ap- pearance. Cest of production records at the Dominion Experimental Station, Har- row. shote that it requires approxi- mately 5 pounds of feed to raise a broiler on range from chick to two- pound weight. The total cost will vary according to the number raised, price r'0 teed, mortality, price of chick. and 'brooder fuel consumed. It may be roughly estimated that the feed .cast is slightly under half the total cost at present prices and under average conditions, Comity To Have One Member on H. S. B. - Up to the end of 1938 county •conn- cfls have had the right to appoint three trustees to high school boards and boards of education in municipal- ities not separated from the county, and also the boards in cities and sep- arated towns where notice was given that the high schools were open to county pupils on the same terns as 'those in municipalities not separated from the county. The three emelti' representative; were appointed for terns of three years, one retiring each year. Doting 19319 section 3 of the Boards of Education .Act, and sec- tions 13, 117 and 211 of the High Schools Act were amended to provide that commencing January .list, 19.39, county councils may appoint annual- ly only one representative on such boards, 'for a term of one year. This appears to mean that all county ap- pointees on such 'boards retire at the end of 1936. whether their terns are finished or not. and the county cottn- cil may appoint one trustee only, Al- though section le of the High Schools Act has been amended to read "Every High School board shall consist of at 'least three trustees" in- stead .of six as formerly, the actual composition of such 'boards has not been altered except that county ap- pointees are limited to 011e. appointed for one year, ' Peroxide, we read, contains a cer- tain amount of alcohol.

Her father, the late Vttilliant Grigg, came to Exeter with his fancily from Eti'gland a'bou't, 88 years ago. The trip over was-ined'e in a sailing vessel, the trip last several weeks. He was. a merchant tailor and conducted a men's outfitting estab- lishment His son John, a 'brother of Miss Grigg, 66 years ago opened the Grigg Stationery Co, and conducted a : wholesale and retail 'business, 30 years .ago he was succeeded in busi- ness by his •sister, who with a niece, Miss 'Kate McFaul, has since carried on the business.

Preventing Farm Fires It is well •known that in Canada every year 'losses 'due to fart l fires amount to an enormou's sum, yet in many .cases the damage to a certain extent might have been Minimized or prevented by simple precautionary measures, Cale precaution is not to put wet or uncured hay in 'barns, nor to put dry hay in barns that have leaky roofs. It is also risky to smoke in or around these 'buildings. With regard to electric equipment, it is dangerous to use fuses of too great amperage and no article should 'be •used in place of a fuse. Care should the taken to see that lightning rods remain properly grounded, and ,defective electrical wiring should 'be repaired promptly. The use of .kerosene or gasolene to kindle fires or quicken a slow fire has been responsible not only for many fires but also for many deaths on farms and just because there has never been a fire en the farm, it is dangerous to neglect precautions un- der the belief that the buildings will (never take fire, Insurance gives an un- warranted sense 01 security bet in- surance cannot give compensation for all the financial losses and it cannot replace the loss of life. Extreme care should always be taken in handling and using ,gasolene. The gasolene containers should 'be tightly closed, painted a bright red, and labelled "•gas•nlene." R. 0. P. Poultry Record Poultry entries for 19318 in Record of Performance (R.O.P.) closed No- vember 30. Three hundred and fif- teen breeders entered a total of 38.- 987 8.987 birds, an increase of 36 breeders and 6,337 birds on the entries of 11937. The greatest increases are in Quebec, Ontario, and the Prairie Provinces. These increases are considered to be due largely to two factors: Firstly, to the increased demand for graded chicks probably .due to Departmental advertising, and, sec- ondly. to the activity of the various Provincial Departments of Agricul- ture in arranging to have the Prov- incially approved 'flocks headed by Record of Performance (R, 0. P.) males, At 'present there are three pro- vinces whose flocks .are ,100 per cent headed by Record . of Performance R. O. P.) males. At present these are rapidly nearing' the same a'chiev'e- meat. .As those flock( supply the hat- cheries in these provinces with hatch- eryeggs, the far-reaching results of this movement can readily be seen, Indications are: that Record of Per- formance (1... O. P.) and the Nation- al Breeding Program ingeneral have made more headway in 1968 than in any year to date. \ew• and quicker version; Ten little chorus girls, Out to have some fun, Met a elan with 'money.
