THIS YEAR'S PICKLES
Hello Homemakers: A search war-
rant is being made for sugarless
recipes for relishes. This year, pickles
must be made without sugar of with
the little you are able to save from
your ration. ,Just like everything else
that is not easy to -obtain is one rea-
son why we hope to have a supply on
our own shelf.
We'Ve just opened beets canned by
the saccharine method last year and
they are real good. Because we eat a
Beet Relish

tablespoons salt, 2 cups corn

TAKE A TIP
1. Grape or horseradish leaves cov-
ering the top will keep more
green color in the cucumbers. •
2. If plum stones are stubborn to
remove, leave them in until after
the fruit is cooked for jam. They
will come to the surface and are
easy to skim off,
3, A sprig of mint cooked with peas
gives it pleasant flavour and
keeps the vegetable green.
4. White cabbage, cauliflower and
white onions keep their colour if
cooked in water that has had 1/4
tsp. cream of tartar added, This
softens the water.
5. There are two ways to prevent
pickle sauces from burning as it
begins to thicken. Rub preserving
kettle with a hard fat before put-
ting in the ingredients. Or, slip an
old tin pail under the preserving
kettle during the last 1/4 hour of
cooking. If you have to leave the
kitchen for any length of time,
put the kettle in a 860 degree
oven, leaving the door ajar,

Changing the water level contours
within a 300 mile area in this remote
section of Northern Ontario, the 01.-
verted water IS 11013' following a 804^
tbeasterly 10erse, covering a (US-
tance of approximately 2,000 Miles
from. Waboose Rapids to the shores
of the Atlantic, Between Waboose
and the ocean this water flows
through rippling chains of creeks,
vers and lakes including Lake Nipi-
gon, the Nipigon river, the Great
Lakes and the St. Lawrence,
The Ogold water and the flow
from the Long Lac diversion—a sim-
ilar but smaller project 120 ntiles to
the., east unite in Lake SuperiOr.-
These two diversions; whose combin-
ed flow averages 5,000, c.f.s„ make
possible the development of 360,000
additional horsepower at developed
and undeveloped sites between Lake
Nipigon and mouth of the St. Law-
rence;
Over a period of time this cliver-
ted water will raise the levels of the
lower Great Lakes about 2% inches
and thus benefit navigation, This
benefit arises from the fact that the
capacity of lake freighters is deter-
mined by the depth of shallow chan-
nels, some of which provide only a
few inches clearance f,or the hulls of
these 'boats. A higher water level
will, therefore, eventually contribute
to at increase 111 the tonnage which
can be carried by these freighters in
their many journeys min a period of
a year.
Three of the key points involved in
the creation of the Ogoki project are
Waboose Rapids, where a massive
main clam 50 feet high and 1,700 feet
long has been thrown across the
Ogold River; South Sundt Lake, at
the height of land, where the control
dam now stands; and Jackfish Cross -
fug at which point a new railway
bridge has been erected over a' deep-
ened channel that is designed to take
care of the increased -flow of water.
o close points in the contour, two
auxqiary clams have been construct-
ed adjacent to the Main Waboose
clam, while other auxiliary dams are
located at Snake Creek and Chappais
Lake.
Houses have been constructed at
both Waboose and Summit where
permanent operators are stationed.
Control and supervision of all opera-
tions involved in regulating the flow
from this new diversion are main-
tained through a shortwave radio
system which links the head office
in Toronto with the operators.
Changes Made In
Fertilizers For
lisp During Fall
Due to a reduction in the amount
of potash available for use in Canada
during the fall of 1943 and the
spring of 1944, adjustments have
been made necessary in the fertiliz-
er mixtures available for manufac-
ture and sale, it is announced by the
Fertilizer Administration Branch at
the Parliament Buildings, Toronto.
Mixtures which may be used during
the fall season have been designated
by the administrator, and the feder-
al, government subvention will be
paid on these at the following rates:
Mixture 2-12-4—$3.00 per ton
Mixture 4-12-6-63.90 per ton
Mixture' 3-18 0—$3.60 per ton
Mixture 0-14-'7—$3.15 per ton
Superphosphate —.$6.00 per ton
Some manufacturers, it is stated,
have supplies on hand of the 2-12-6
mixture, on which the subvention
will be paid as formerly. All chemi-
cals heretofore used in fertilizer
mixtures, such as Superphosphate,
will be • available and eligible for
• subvention, but it will probably be
more difficult to secure supplies of
Ammo -Phos, in which caSe a 8-18-0
mixture is recommended as a substi-
tute.
Owing to labor shortages in ferti-
lizerplants, there may be some dif-
ficulty in shipping the required ton-
nage this fall, so farmers are urged
to place their orders as soon as pos-
sible and spread out the shipping
'season over a longer period of time.
In order to qualify for the gov-
ernment fertilizer subvention, farm-
ers must apply fertilizer to one or
more of the following crops:
1. Grass and legume pastures, an-
nual pastures, such as rape, fall rye,
" te
'Cloyer, alfalfa and all other
hay crops.
3. Silage crops such as corn 01' le-
gumes used as silage.
• 4. Cereal crops such as oats, bar-
ley, wheat, corn, flax or peas and
soya beans, or other grains to be
used as livestock feed.
5. Root crops such 35 mangels or
turnips.

OPENING OF OGOKI DIVERSION

unique in the annals of engineering, the Ogoki diversion is now open. Otto Holden, chief hydraulic engineer,

ASSAULT EXERCISES IN BRITAIN — FULL SCALE BATTLE
Troops stationed in Britain have carried out their largest -yet offensive
exercise over the English countryside. Two armies, comprising large forces
of Canadian and British troops. fought with a resolution which bodes ill for
the Axis in the,future. Civilians were questioned, their identity cards check-
ed, and all the background security measures brought into operation, The
exercise represented a full-scale battle,,Picture shows a tank and gun pass-
