Ontario's Students
Offer to Help Relieve
Emergency Need for Farm Help!
Already more than 6,000 of Ontario's sturdy High School
students have volunteered their services to the Farm Service
Force of Ontario! They are devoting their summer months
to help farmers meet the greatest production demands in
their experience. Students will be relieved of school
responsibilities as farmers require them. Especially pre-
pared courses of study have been offered to fit these
willing young people for the summer's work on the farm.
Britain is depending upon Ontario's farmers to supply a
great proportion of their needs for cheese, bacon, con-
centrated milk, and other farm products.

Farmers who have not registered their requirements for
student assistance are urged strongly to do so without delay.
Simply notify your Agricultural Representative or local High
School Principal, or write: Farm Service Force, Department
of Labour, Parliament Bldgs., Toronto.

Cold storage practice so far Balt
been connected with the large pro-
duce warehouses in our towns acid ',
cities. These estabiishment8 could
not do successful business if their
plants were not prevlded with large

of the farm, sucie Its eggs, butts

day, probably not iso tar distant after,
all, the farmers may beooil.e suede
ciently well organized to build and
equip mechanical cold storage Ware-
houses of their own, whereby they
will be able to have complete con-
trol over the products of their oWn
labor until they are disposed of to
the consuming public. The extent to
which individual farmers may make
use of such cold storage plants nn
their farms is neeessarily limited be-
cause the quantities of products re-
quiring to be stored at any one time
are small. The exceptions are very
large fruit or dairy farmers, and
even in these special lines of farm-
ing it might not be a paying pro-
position in all cases to erect an
expensive cold storage plant. Per-
sonally, 1 believe the problem of cold
storage on the farms should b.
handled through cu -operatively own-
ed warehouses provided with adee
auate cold storage facilities.
Apart, however, from the ques-
tion of a cold storage with up-to-date
mechanical equipment for the farms
or farmers' association as suggested
above, there is the problem on al -
post every farm pertaining to the
storage for a few days of small quan-
tities of various foods used on the
table from day to day, such ale but-
ter, meat, milk, etc. It is certainly a
great saving and matter of conven-
ience to have on the farm a small
cold storage chamber or refrigerator
in which to keep these very perish-
able articles of food in a good fresh
and wholesome condition for use on
the table during the warm season of
the year. This is made possible by
the use of ice, and as it is procur-
able in almost ev�'ry district of this
country at a reasonable cost, there
is no excuse for farmers not laying,
by in the winter season a few tons
In some cheap form of ice -house, In
the summer time this ice will be
found most useful for cooling the
milk and cream, supplying an ice -bon
or refrigerator in which the butter,
for example, may be kept firm, the
milk and -cream sweet, and the foods
in good condition for the table day
by day, With ice always so handy
and the best of cream available, II
is possible for the housewife to make
such d licinus and wholesome rdeg%
cacies as ice-cream, sherbets„ au

I doubt then about the fact that *veil
1 farmer would find a supply of gess
ice a great advantage in many ways
whether it be stored in some bin
i from which it is removed as re-
quired or in some form of small ice-
cold storage where It cooed automatt-
eally a small rerrigertor room ad-
-
joining the ice storage room. There
are several types of small ice-cold
storages suitable for use on the faran.
In using these small ice-cold ',tori
ages, however, it must be kept la
mind always that the temperature
cannot be maintained lower than
about 40 or 46 degrees Fahrenheit
scale, which of course is not low
enough to keep perishable products
like fresh meat longer than a few
days, and large quantities of per-
, fishable articles must not be stored
in a small chamber, nor too many
kinds at one time. In spite of this;
limitation it will pay any farmer to
have a supply of fee, preferably stor-
ed in a small ie' -cold storage that
needs no care. In a subsequent
article I will deal with a few of the
most con &sou and practieable forms `
of small ice-cold storages for the
