John Elder Will Supervise the Guiana Mission Field in South America The Milverton Sun writes a5 fol - 'tows concerning .Rev. John 'Elder for- mer minister at ,Cromarty and now in the 'United States on his way to Brit- islh Guiana, On Thursday morning Rev. and 'Mrs, John Elder and family are leav- ing Milverton after a residence here of over eleven years during which time they ,formed countless friend- sih1ps not only in their own congre- gation of 'Burns ICihurch, Milverton, and the North'Mornington Presbyter- ian Church, but among the people of ail •denominations throughout the en - 'tire district. They will wish friends in the United ,States before ;proceeding to Boston from where they will sail to (British Guiana, South America.

He was all Outstanding minister and his lab- ors were highly successful in both congregations 'hart he did not confine his interests to .his own church. Be took a .very •active part in all commun- ity and patriotic activities and his ser- vices as chairman for different funct- ions were greatly in - demand. His Pleasing personality coupled with a ready ,Irish wit trade _hint a general favorite at ali gatherings, An untiring worker and an organizer of excep- tional ability .he made a success of anything tie was .associated with, 'When the local branch of the Red (Cross was organized it was mr. Elder who was called on do do much of the .organization work and numerous oth- er activities also owed much of their success to his engergetic endeavusr, Mr. Elder was a member of the Masonic and ;Orange (Lodges, (being a pest master of the latter. He was also a vaned member of the 'Lions 'Cult and in addition to Iheiug a member of tlu' executive was chairman of the \\'ar Service and other committees. Rev. ,\1r. Elder is ,proud of his re- cord of fourteen years in the Presby- tery ai Stratford. For some time he has been referred 10.91 the father of the Presbytery. He was horn in Belfast, Ireland 'heing a non of lMr. and (Mrs. Samuel Elder, who spent a few years in 11ii1- verton with their son but the call of the old land was too strong at their age and they returned and are still re- siding in (Belfast. He received hes early education in Belfast and when .quite young took an active ,part ip mission work, being a mlenfber of the Belfast Presbyterian City Mission. At the age of Iv9 he offered himself 'for the Qua ihbo Mission in India but the depression interfered with these ar- rangements. 1O'winig to economic con- ditions it was impossible 'to send new missionaries to if ndia at that time. In the year +1924 he went to the iJnited States.where he completed his education, He is a graduate of 'tie Presbyterian Theological !Seminary, Oanaha, Nebraska. For a time he was minister at Logan, Iowa. In 197, he received and accepted a call to (be- come minister of rhe ,Presbyterian Church at ICrontanty where he re- mained for three years. He 'las in- dncted at Burns !Church, Milverton, cm July 95th, 19.10, and on llan, let the following year North 'Morrtington was linked with IMalveoton in a two- point charge. His ministry here offic- ially ended July 29th when he was designated a foreign missionary to British 'Guiana. It may he of interest to know that when he ,first came to Canada it was not his intention to remain here per- manently 'hitt rather that he would spend a few years and then return to the U. S. where many of his reiatives were residing. He was so fa'vourately impressed with Canada and the Can- adian people that he remained and we feel quite certain that when he com- pletes his terns as missionary he will return and again lake residence in Canada. (While at Cromarty he returned to Ireland to claim as his bride the for- mer +Lillie 9lcWha, of iiiliiste, (County Down They were married on Aug. 8th, ',I92$, and three clays ater, :Aug. 2lth, they sailed for (Canada on their honeymoon trip.

We've decid- ed to r'ntt t in 110 our forum on canting this Week. The economical preserva• tion of fruit is a matter of vital int• po•tance on the "home front" his season! * ,t * 0 Canned fruit juices are very popular, particularly cherry, elder- berry, rhubarb, c'ur'rant. grape. rasp- berry and tomato juice. These true juices may be used in a variety of ways for beverages, appetizers, gel• atin salads, pudding sauces and sher- bets. They are also valuable as sub- stitutes for certain spices. • ! • • The best bottled juice is obtained by using the following directions: 1. Select sound. ripe fruit. 2. Wash and stem fruit. (Let grapes stand 2 days to mellow the juice.) 3. Crash fruit with a masher or cut such: fruit as rhubarb into small pieces. 4. To 3 pints of berries add 2 clips medium syrup. Pot' unsweetened juices add 1/e. cup water for each cup of fruit. 6. Cool( until soft in large Covered saucepan on electric element turned from High to Low. 6. Pour into a. cotton jeliy bag and press through slowly, 7. Strain through three layers of cheesecloth or a good cotton bag. 3, Pout' juices back into the settee - pan and- bring to simmering point. stirring constantly. 9. Pill hot sterilized bottles or jars. Seal tightly. 10. Immerse ,bottles in wafer bath at simmering point. 11. Cook quickly by running luke- warm water, then cold water over bottles. 12. Cover odd caps or corks with melted paraffin. 5 • 5 • When canning peaches, pears, ete., by the "cold -pack" method you'il find that only a limited, number of pieces of fruit can be put in ascii jar, so the proportions of fruit to syrup in each jar will be smaller than if the fruit were small, or soft- ened by pre-cooking. Therefore. choose a less -sweet syrup than for the "open kettle" method. New British Process Trebles Feeding Value • One million tons of straw can be given the feeding value of 600,000 tong of cereals by a new pulping process which is the latest contribu- tion of agricultural science to Brit- ain's food -growing campaign. At a cost of only £30, a plant can be built by Yarm labour which, by soaking 400 lb, of straw 9n caustic soda, will produce 1,400 ]b. of straw pulp each day, enough to provide a daily ration for•- 20 £atteuing beasts, or twice as many young animals, Al- ready installed on 250 farms 3u the United Iingdom, the plant consists of two concrete tanks separated by a ramp- and occupying 12 ft. by 12 ft. of ground. Livestock can normally utilise only from one-half to one-third of the nourishment in straw, chaff or sav- ings, but pulping makes these mater- ials palatable and doubles or trebles their feeding value. Titus each ton of straw yields 3r/ tons of straw pulp; and 100 1b, of straw pulp, whether from wheat, barley or oat straw, has the feeding value of 9 lb. starch, 11 lb. maize, 121/4 lb. barley or rice meal, 15 lb. oats, 15 11). dried sugar -beet pulp, 120 1b. ntangolds or 130 lb. swedes. Balanced up with a Suitable protein food such as ground- nut cake, it is relishedby fattening or growing cattle, dairy cows or lambing ewes. The pulping can easily be fitted into the farm routine, one ton of straw requiring only 10 man-hours' labour, 180 1b. of caustic soda and 6,000 gals, of water. "Bang!" went the rifles of the sol- diers at a Training Camp. "0c-oo!" screamed the pretty girl —a nice decorous little scream—and stepped backwards into the surprised arms of a -young man. "Oh," she said blushing, "I was frightened by the - rifles, I beg your pardon: "No1 at ail," said the young ntan. "Let's go - over and watch the artillery." * * * • For each quart of large fruit use 3lie cups thin syrup macre of 11h cups of sugar and 3 cups water—or 3 cups medium syrup made by boil- ing 2 cups sugar and 2 cups water— or 3 cups of heavy syrup made of boiling 3 sups sugar and 2'!e cups water.

THE YORE Threats and Promises Fail to Win Support for Germany By Professor P. S. Gerhandy. (President of the Netherlands Council of Ministers, Economically. politically and soc- ially the Netherlands people have to bear the full weight of the ignomin- ious Nazi yoke. After barely fifteen months of nc•cupatoin they have been reduced front a very high standard of living to the blink of starvation, The famous ports. once throbbing with life, appear dead. The wheels of industry have stopped, and only those factories which fit into the Nazi war machine can survive. Those fishing trawlers and coastal vessels which could not escape to England lie idle, or have to work for the Nazis, endangering the lives of our seamen in the service of the foe. Agriculture suffers from the severe shortage of labour, fuel and fertiliz- ers; dairy -farmers see their best cows slaughtered to feed the occupy' ing army, or exported to the Third Reich. The Germans descended upon the fertile Lowlands like a cloud, of locusts; shops have been emptied by the huge purchases made by German soldiers and officials; trainloads of agricultural produce have disappear- ed into the German maw. A large army of occupation has to be fed. clothed and housed. As a result the National Debt is increasing at a rate ten times greater than that reached in the Great W'ar, The Treasury is selling astronomical amounts of government paper and there is plenty of paper money in circulation despite huge septi -forced loans. But goods are scarce, prices are rising in spite of attempts at eontrol, and the stand- ard of living has rapidly declined. Almost everything is rationed, but the rations are so small that in some eases labourers feel too weak to con- tinue work after four o'clock in the afternoon. Snell is the economic condition to Which our people have been condemn- ed, All classes are suffering anti complaining alike. Industrialists have been reduced to mere tools in the hands of the Nazis; farmers work hard and earn little; almost 150.000 labourers have been blackmailed into tailing in German factories and ship- yards. • * • 5 A frequent question is "How much fruit will meet the specific need of a family of six, for one year"? Allow- ing for six months with no fresh fruit except apples, and imported fruits; four months of the Year with no raw apples, and four months to supplement raw fruit, the close est- imate is 247 quarts of fruit.

Planning A Perennial Border— In a small garden perennials are grown in borders with the different species and varieties in mixture in order to have a display of flowers over as long a season as possible, says hiss Isabella Preston, Division of Horticulture, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. The position of the border depends on the available space but as a general rule it should be along the boundary of the garden or on ca,,11 side of a walk. A heavily ;shaded place or ground full of the roots of trees or shrubs, is not suit- able tis the roots take up the food and moisture from the soil. Still an- other position to be avoided is one where the water lies in spring. Good drainage is necessary for most plants. Any good garden soil will grow perennials, but, as the border will be a permanent thing, thorough preparation of the soil is advisable. This is done by trenching in the fol- lowing manner. Mark off a strip across the bed, abaft one and one- half feet wide, dig out the soil about the same depth and remove this soil to the far end of the bed. Break up the soil at the bottom of the trench and then put in a thick layer of well rotted manure. Mark off the next atrip of ground and fill up the trench with the soil. Continue this process tmtil the end of the bed is reached when the spil that was removed from the first trench is used to fill up the last one, If manure is not avail- able then leaf mould or some other form of humus should be used. The surface should be left rough so that the frost can penetrate as deeply as possible into the soil, 1f the trench- ing is done in fall and the bed left over winter it should be in good con- dition for planting in spring. If no manure was 1000(1 a eomPlete chemi- cal fertilizer should be scattered over the soil before it is dug over. If the place where the bed has to go is covered with grass the sods should be taken off and placed in the bottom of the trench grass side down, These will decay and supply the humus that is needed. If the natural soil is very heavy clay sand or coal ashes will help to lighteu it and make it easier to work. As soon as the ground is dry enough. in spring it should be dug over and raked level ready for planting, which can be started in April or May ac- cording to the district. If it is desir- ed to plant the border in fall then it should be prepared in August or a month before planting time. The size of the bed will depend on the size of the garden. rix to eight feet is a suitable wicdthfor a small border sof mixed plants. As a general rule the tallest growing plants are planted at the hack of the border, the medium tall in the centre and the dwarf in front. To prevent a stiff appearance some of the tall plants are planted towards the eeutre and medium siz- ed ones near the front. Care must be taken so that late blooming plants are not hidden by earlier blooming tall ones. The elate of bloom and. hcigh( of plant varies according to climate and growing conditions but approximate dates and heights as well as the colors of the flowers aro '- given in catalogues.—Experimental Farms News), Birt there are things worse 1111011 merciless looting. the dread of infla- tion. the shortage of food, clothing and fuel.
