CHRONICLES OF GINGER FAR By Gwendoline Deur tfown ,People, living snug- ly in your •comfortable dwellings, protected from the four winds of heaven •by other houses, and by shops and buildings - I wonder if you .know hat .a :high wind feels like. you don't and would like 10 .know, try staying in the country sometime in one of those old farm houses, ma of which seem to have been built ion the very spot where the wind can gr." a clean •sw ep at them. Oh, itis .a grand and 'arious feeling, I can tell you, :to have the wind beating at your doors and windows and to see the odd •shingles go swirling by until you wonder if .there will be any left on the barn roof at all by the time the wind has dropped. And Perha Ps you want to hurry the potatoes for dinner, and you put .an extra stick of wood on the fire. But it crackles and blazes so merrily you get all jittery in case the 'pes should catch fire. So you shut •off the drafts again and let the potatoes go .hang. A late din- ner is better than a burnt house. * * * And then someone canes to the door - ten to one ,it's an agent be- cause it is always agents and such like who choose the roughest days t. .call. But you .open the door .and the visitor •comes in. And so docs the wind. It whips the daily paper off the •table, scatters it all over the floor, opens up a few doors that haven't . been that properly, gets the dog so excited he barks like fury.

Be patient! Begin with a :small amount -say, two or three tastes the first day, four or five tastes 'he second day, and so on. Gradually, the baby will get used to the new food, and make it :part :of his regular diet. As .a rule, you can take it for granted that the 'baby will like a new food. In most cases, he will accept it, but if he firmly refuses to taste the mew food, take it away. Chances are, when you offer it again in .a week or so, the baby will have com- pletely forgotten his objection. Make an issue of his refusal to cat, how- ever, and he may retain his dislike for the food -perhaps permanently.

Queen -Mother Helps Find U.S. Dollars The spirit which has always car- ried the British people along in the face of shortages and adversity is by no means dead. Wanting to help in the battle for -United States dol- lars, so badly needed to finance necessary British purchases in that country, Queen Mary decided to do her bit. Not long ago the Queen Mother personally worked a set of six tap- estry chair covers, then .presented them to the British Women's Hone Industries. They were offered .for sale to American buyers, and brought the surprising semi of ten thousand dollars. When a woman of Queen Mary's age and exalted position takes need- le in hand to help the general cause, it is just further evidence that while Britain may be down temporarily, she's a long way still front being. finally counted out. About 4,000 years ago ancient Britons planted crops by pushing a pointed stick in the ground and dropping a seed into the hole.' Some Notes From The F >. rm. Front By John In the present troublous times it is encouraging to note that, on the whole, Canadian farmers have resisted a temptation to which many succumbed -• to their later sorrow - after World War One. Only a comparative few have sought to extend their holdings, and no boom in farm land with specula- tive prices has developed. As a result farmers are not near- ly as over-extended as -they were in .1010-1020. Instead they are invest- ing in durable goods such as cars, trucks and implements; and with the extension of rural electrification ready markets for electrical appli- ances of many kinds are found in rural areas. One of th• ese days you may be driving your tractor or car with solid gasoline, which you will buy by the pound and handle with as much safety, and in much the same way, as a pound of butter or box pf soda biscuits. Solid gasdline is already a reality; but it is regarded of such military importance that it is still kept a "top secret" and is not yet avail- able for commercial use. One great advantage of this solid gasoline is pthroof. at it is -believe it or not -fire- * * * The farmer is better off than he has been for a long time - writes A. P. Pickman - but, after, all, what other business could or would keep running year after year on the minute return on investment and labor which farming gives? The farmer works front 60 to 75 hours a week. He must be a bit of a veterinarian nutrition expert - agronomist - mechanic and mete- orologist. Ile is the executive, per - sonnet,. purchasing, sales and ac- counting divisions, all in one. For- tunately he finds his chief reward, not in his scanty monetary returns, but in a way of life which, is satis- fying to him, and which he wouldn't trade for any other. * * * • Synthetic hormones are putting a profitable punch into the farmer's eternal struggle for betttr and big - i.. r crops. Apple and pear growers are already getting millions of dol- lars every Year because of chemicals cols which spur fruit production; and within a few years probably a dozen other commodities will be added to the hormone horizons being explor- ed, as scientists believe that as yet they've onlyy-scratched the surface of hormone research, * * * , According to some authorities, tobacco users would do well to wash Russell their hands thoroughly before -set- ting out tomato plants, also :before staking or pruning then. highly contagious plant viruses are -some- times present in tobacco, and there is danger of transmitting them if some of the virus is present on the gardener's Bands when he works' with his tomatoes. * * Wheat growing in the west is still pretty 111 51511 of a gamble. In 1913 a prairie farmer got $2.5o for a bushel of wheat, cash in his pocket at Saskatoon; Thirteen years later -1n 1522 -he got 26 cents a bushel. Fluctuations such as that explain the situation of one Western man who said that, on the whole, he was pretty lucky. He had borrowed $8,000 to buy his farm; paid $10;000 in principal and interest; and now only owed $5,000 on the property. * *' * If you happened to be visiting the Belgian Congo and saw Cana- dian apples on sale, you'd hardly believe your eyes. But early this year some 800 boxes of choice Ca- adian apples reached that distant region, and caused much . favorable comment because of their quality and the care with which they were packed. Their early arrival was much appreciated as South African apples do not reach the Belgian Congo market till March or April. * * * A real opportunity to develop a new market for Canadian seed po- tatoes is seen in Italy. Imports of this commodity are estimated at something like 50 thousand metric. tons a year, and in the past has conte almost exclusively from Northern Europe. But much educa- tional work will have to be done before the Italians accept the Cana- dian potato, as their taste is for the yellow -fleshed, non -starchy variety to which they have become used in the past. * * * Unthrifty apple trees have been brought back to health and good yields by one grower who plants from 4 to 8 young trees right close to the old trunk and grafts them right into it ,For -this purpose he uses almost any sort of young tree, even crab apples. Water and plant food taken by the young trees from theof h s l go into main trunk, and. their roots finally replace those of the sick tree. v * * And then there was the farrier who was a very, very careful driver. When he came to a railroad cross- ing he stopped - looked - and listened. And all he heard was the noise of the car behind him crash- ing into his gas tank.
