Board Inas recently allowed four
styles and sizes of food choppers
for household use — an asset to
stretehing meats and using left-
overs.
2. Bnannel'eoated foci choppers need
special care. They're weighty so
do not drop them and chip the
enamel; be careful to remove

3. Meat extenciers'should aid in man-
aging the food budget.

THE QUESTION BOX
Mrs. B. A. asks: "How much cer-
eal is added to minced meat?"
Answer: Add 2/3 cup quick -cooking
oatmeal, 14 cup water and seasoning
to 1 pound of ground meat, No egg is
necessary. This amount will make 12
small meat balls,
Mrs, G. S. asks: "Why is cottage
cheese more difficult to make• with
pasteurized milk?"
Answer: Due to low bacteria con. -
tent, Purchase buttermilk to use as
a starter; use 1/2 cup buttermilk for
2 cups inilk.
Engagement Announced —
in the effort to reduce pleat consump-
' tion and help you to stretch your
meat ration over the week, —
especially if you use soup as a starter
for your meals.
One most important dish for Tues-
days is soybeans. Unlike the more
familiar navy beans, soybeans are
rich in protein, low in starch (take
heed! pudgy folk) and contain 10 to
12 times as much fat as other kinds
of dry beans. For success in cooking,
soak soybeans: overnight and cook
them on "Low" heat in "soaking"
water. We like them sprinkled with
salt and served plain, or with mo-
lasses (if molasses is available) like
Boston Baked Beans.
Parsnips are the inexpensive vege-
tables this week. 1t your family think
they do not like them, just mash,
Your parsnips along with the pota-
toes, 01' cook thein with carrots to
offer a nice, flavoursome dish with
omelette or fish, for , your meatless
Tuesdays.

THE ,3 {Al+ ORTJ:I Ni i«S
Agriculture and
Canadian industry
The following is an especially good
paper prepared by Mrs. A. Morgan of
1•luroltdale and read at the District
Annual holed ilk Iieusall nn May 13th,
011 the 81114001 (1f Agriculture a1111
Canadian I1ldustt'ies,
Probably at no time in the 111stol')'
of Canada hos the importance of
food production been so mantfeet to
all the people as in this year 1943.
This thought is the keynote of the
reports from th0 several blanch in-
stitutes in this district, under the
Beading Agriculture and Canadian
In(lustries.
In our Canadian setup, pries' to
'World War No. 2, a certain amount
of 115si9(ance and service was given
to those engaged In agriculture by
the department of agriculture of the
dominion and of the several prov-
inces through agriculture 1 colleges,
experimental farms and the extensive
bulletin service emanating therefrom,
as well as the service rendered by
County Agricultural representatives,
under the provincial department 00
agriculture. °
Unfortunately these services were
only 000051ned with improving the
efficiency Of .farming methods, with
the sole end 111 view of increasing
production, Farmers were taught how
two Mantes of grass could be made to
grow where one gre)v before, but no
provision was made for disposing of
the surplus thus produced, The re-
sult of a neglected farm e0000my led
to deplorably low prices for egricul-
tural products during the depression
of the e1I'ly 19308. Every person in
Canada accepted the fact that we had
surpluses of food and that scarcity
would never come in Canada. When
the war broke 111 1939, this attitude
prevailed generally, even in govern
Ment circles, With the industrial ex
Pension made necessary by the new
war, into which we were unexpected-
ly and unpreparedly plunged, good
wages were offered to men who had
been having a tough time on the land
and they left the land to work else-
where by thousands, across all of
Cauada, Added to this there were
many thousands more enlisting in
the army, navy and air force from
the farms of Canada, until today the
minister of agriculture announces
that more than 250,000 able-bodied
men have left Canadian agriculture
since the beginning of the war for
service elsewhere, either in the arm-
ed forces or in the Canadian factories
or other war work.
In the meantime the obligations
rerun gupon the Canadian farmer
have increased greatly. Quotas of
food for Britain have been stepped
u1) repeatedly, and the methods of
processing have so simplified the
problem of shipping space in the case
of eggs, which are now dried and
shipped in pawde' form, that euenti-
left to take up their' military careers.
Both are with the RCAF, George
Lloyd, son of Mr. and •Mrs. R. 'H.
Lloyd, reported to London and will
be posted to a Manning Pool, and
Jack Hopper, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Chas. Hopper, reportde to Galt where
he will attend trades school.
