Motherwell Given Portrait At a dinner on July 14th given In his honor at Regina:, Sask., by former ,associates and admirers, Hon. Dr, W. R. Motherwell, former Provincialand Dominion Minister of Agriculture, was presented with a portrait of himself, the work of Ernest Fosbory, R,C.A., of Ottawa. Dr, Motherwell, now- in his 80th year is member of parlia- ment for Melville, Sask. He was born in Perth county, Ontario, and soon after graduating from the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, went to Western Canada. That was in the early eighties of the last century, when the West was being opened up, following the projection of the Can- adian Pacific Railway's transcontin- ental line. At the first general elec- tion for the legislature of the new province of Saskatchewan in 1905, he was elected as a member and upon the formation of the first ministry of that province, was appointed Min- ister of Agriculture, He held that portfolio until 1918. Three years later when elected as member of the Dom- inion parliament he was appointed Dominion Minister of Agriculture and continued as such until 1930. Since then he has been a member of the house of commons.' From his youth Dr. Motherwell has been a constructive and conspicuous leader in Canadian agriculture. He now lives on his farm at Abernethy, Sask, Keep Eggs Cool Recently an experimental shipment of 400 cases of eggs in a refrigerator car from London, Ont., to Montreal was closely observed by officials of the Marketing Service, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture. The result of the experiment was that some of the eggs reached Montreal in perfect condition but with others there was too much deterioration. Cooling of eggs on the farm as quickly as poss- ible after they are laid prove profit- able, In the experimental shipment from London, the eggs which had been cooled on the farms and had been kept cool were those which brought the best price. in Montreal, The eggs that had not been. pre - cooled before being shipped suffered. Egg inspectors concluded that ship- ping under refrigeration is not enough. They say that it is as im- portant to get the natural heat out of eggs as quickly as dairymen cool milk to get rid of, animal heat. They recommend frequent gathering of eggs in wire baskets and immediate cooling in a cellar. Eggs should be as cool as cucumbers and just as fresh. How to Keep Butter Fresh in Home No matter how good butter may be when purchased, care should be taken to retain its sweet, delicious flavor. Butter should be stored in a cool, dry place away from any foods which have a distinct odor or flavor PAGE THREE as it readily .absorbs foreign flavors, It should be kept in a covered con- tainer or be left in the parchment paper in whichit is purchased. The best place to keep butter is in the refrigerator. If one is not avail- able the butter should be stored in as cool a place. as possible. Butter melts quickly at high temperature and during the hot weather, in the absence of a refrigerator, the sug- gestion is given to tie a cord secure- ly around each print of wrapped but- ter to keep the wrapper in place. Then put the prints in a crock or other container and cover with a plate, weighted down with a stone or brick„ The next step is to make a brine of salt and water, used in the proportion of 2 cups salt to 1 gallon. of boiling water. Cover the butter with the cold brine and place the crock in a cool room. Add more brine if necessary from time to time, to keep the butter covered with the salt solution, .Another suggestion for stor- ing a few prints of butter for a short time is to wrap the paper -covered prints in Cloths wrung 'out of a salt and water solution and keep the but- ter in a cool place. Butter may also be stored satisfactorily by packing it in a well -scalded crock or jar, cov- ering the butter with a clean white cloth wrung out of boiling water, then spreading a thin layer of salt over the cloth. xMeteor Found At Dresden A :segftel to the 'meteoric ,display of Tuesday evening .of last w'ee'k ,was the ,finding of .an SB -pound mass on the farm of Daniel Solomon, a farmer near Dres'd'en, 'Ont., which scientists ,declare to be a- true meteorite, (A nrelteor, it its explained, 'becomes a meteorite 'when it reaches the earth.)

When ''lug out it was !found to he roughly.egg-shaped, !black in calor, and 88 'pounds 4 ;ounces in •weighht, The centre was 'solid, 'bout the ,surface was soft and ,could be easily crushed by hand, Fragments ,of the meteorite were picked up ,on adjacent farms. Solomon' 'sold 'the 'meteorite for $4 to Dr. Luke Smith .of Chatham, who has since been offered ,sums up to $500 for it by .scientific institutions.

The arrival in America of two In, dian "agricultural experts to study hydroelectric installations has drawn attention to what is to many persons the surprising fact that India some- times grows even mare wheat than Canada, India's wheat production was 402,- 000,000 bushels in 1988 and 352,000,- 000 in 1936-7, that of Canada in the same years having been 348,000,000 and 229,000,000 bushels respectively. It is true that these years were some- what exceptional ones, nevertheless the fact speaks for itself that there were under wheat in 1937-38 33,225,- 000 acres in India compared with 25,- 570,000 in Canada. That this state of things has often escaped notice is because while Can- ada has only some 11,000,000 people of its own to consume the wheat, it grows, India has a population of 350,- 000,000, of whom a considerable pro- portion habitually uses wheat. The relative productive capacity of the two countries may also be judged by the fact that India has under field crops of all kinds 209,000,000 acres compared with 58,000,000 in Canada. The region where most of the wheat is grown is in the great plains of the Punjab and of neighboring provinces of the north and west there is much irrigation, (India has 66,000,000 acres artificially watered,) At one time India sometimes exported as much as 1,000,000 tons of wheat in the year. This, however, was only when the cultivators found it profit- able to sell some of their wheat, In that case they fed themselves and their families upon "bajra" (millet) and other tropical and subtropical grains. When world wheat prices fell they gave up this practice to a large extent. In 1937 there was some revival of Indian wheat exports, but for 10 years prior to that season such business had been almost negligible. Indian wheat is what is known as "soft," It is suitable for making vari- ous kinds of cakes and macaroni, but has not the same value for bread - making as has "hard red" and other varieties grown on the North Ameri- can continent. Another reason why Indian wheat has not always been popular is be- cause of the extraneous matter it often carries with it. This was not always accidental. It was, once upon. a time, a not uncommon thing to see coolies (workers) at stations on the northwestern railway carrying bask- ets of dust from the Sind desert on their heads and dumping it into heaps of wheat, The reason was that the trade then allowed a heavy "refraction," reduction in payment on account of dirt, and if—as was often the case— the grain did not contain this modi- cum when it came from the fields, the balance was added artificially. In this way many thousands of tons of the soil of India used to be carried away annually upon wheat ships sail- ing from the port of Karachi, where most of the wheat is dispatched. The people of India often grind their wheat at home between flat stones turned by hand by the women of the family. A whole -meal flour fa thus produced. This is mixed with. water and rolled into thin sheets, thus forming chupatties (flapjacks) which are then baked on an iron plate heat- ed over a fire of charcoal or dried cow dung, generally in the open air. These chupatties, each the thick- ness of stout cardboard, are excellent food though somewhat tough to chew. Most savory do they smell when cooking is in progress. But the white man who knows the country is careful to keep away from the spot for—in the event even of his shadow falling upon the chupatties, the whole of the owner's dinner may have to be thrown away—so stringent are high caste Hindu taboos against eat- ing in public. Usually salt and often dhal (boiled vetch) and chilies (green and red pepper) are eaten with the chupat- ties, also various other Indian condi- ments and sweetmeats, and au excel- lent meal they make. Although the wheat crop in India is such a large one, it is only a min- ority of the people who eat that grain. For more of them bajra and bhat (rioe)r are the staple food cereals, ¢laughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mein Barber, Staffa, During the supper hour ;there was a short :business maectin.g in which the election of officers for 1040 took place as 'follows: Honorary President Robert Sadler, Staffa; secretary -.treasurer, Mrs. Stir- ling Barber; sports, Alvin 'Barbar Mrs. Reid and Mrs. ,Warms.
