With the new maple syrup crop just about due -I hope, I hope, I hope -a few hints about the other half of one of the world's most delicious combina- tions might not be amiss. I refer to pancakes of course -as if you hadn't guessed! Check your procedure on the following points -- they're al] highly important. • Measure ingredients carefully. If you use a prepared mix, meas- ure it into the mixing bowl but do not sift or pack. * Add liquid and stir only until the flour is moistened. Small lumps in the batter will come out in the baking. m Grease the griddle only light- ly. If the griddle is properly sea- soned, pancakes will not stick. to Test griddle for correct tem- perature. When a drop of water will bounce for a second before evaporating, the griddle is just hot enough. 4i For even cooking and uni- form -sized cakes, pour the pan- cake batter from a measuring cup rather than spooning it onto the griddle. To make a 41/2 -inch cake, use Ifo cup of medium -thick hatter for each cake. * Bake on one side until bubbles begin to break and edges become dry. Turn only once. ® Serve while hot. Covering the cakes and letting them stand may make them soggy. :x * rr Use one of the many good pan- cake mixes from your grocer's shelves, or try these ever -so -good sour -milk pancakes, raised buck - wheats, oatmeal griddle cakes, and cottage -cheese pancakes. a o SOUR -MILK PANCAKES 212 Cups Sifted Flour 1 Teaspoon Soda r: Teaspoon Salt 1 Tablespoon Sugar (optional) 2 Cups Sour Milk 1 Egg, Beaten 1 Tablespoon Melted Shortening 1.

This memorable document was signed by the- presidents of the Ontario Cheese Producers As- sociation, the Ontario Cream Producers Association, the On- tario Concentrated Milk Produc- ers Association, the .Ontario Federation of Agric rlture and the Ontario Whole Milk Produc- ers League. Inmiediately the question aris- es as to who authorized these gentlemen • . to, a ask `for what amounts to an admission of dairy substitutes made from veget- able oils, as long as to milk or milk products were used in their manufacture. We remember meeting after meeting, • resolution after reso- lution calling for a ban of dairy substitutes made 'from veget- able oils. Farmers were told by the presidents and directors of their organizations to protest against the introduction of imi- tations of ice-cream and cheese and whipping cream. Were they ever told to go and ask for the admission of these imitations? $64 Questions Could it be possible that this Brief was written to fit the legislation proposed by the gov- ernment? Could at be possible that the farm leaders were asked not to demand more than would be granted? Could it be possible that the farm leaders decided not `to em- barrass the government and: therefore not to stand up for the demands of the producers they represent? These and many more are the questions fanners will want to ask their leaders. They will want to ask wily there were no replies to the dis- torted argumentation of the advertisements and radio an- nouncements sponsored by the so-called "Institute of Edible Oil Foods" which were misrepre- senting the situation; they will want to ask when the Brief of March 18th actually was pre- sented to the government, whether it was conceived of in Huron Street or in Queens Park: whether there had been a previous brief and what th.e gov- ernment's reply had been to it. And finally they will want to ask their leaders why they had not called meetings to in - font the membership and find out the wishes of the members. What Future? How much longer are Ontario farmers going to sit at home and squawk about the raw deal they are getting? It is time that they awoke to the necessity of look- ing after the business end of their business. Important • . as production is, it• is just as - if not More - important to have 'a •market for what you produce. The question whether imita- tions of dairy products, with or without the addition of milk, are to be permitted, is of far-reach- ing importance. It will deter- mine milk markets for all future. To replace .butterfat with veg- etable oils is easy. To replace the non -fatty solids of milk is a more difficult task, but it is be- ing done in Britain and in U.S.A. The.result might well be imi-, tations of dairy products made :from . vegetable oils with other synthetic solids added. Time for a Change F41��,1.. leaders should have stu�.�a' y tr heir ;:guns and 'demand- ed a ban of all imitations of milk and milk products, except- ing margarine. Whether they could have got it or not, they should have tried. Individual farmers will for- feit the right to complain, if they do not -'go to the trouble of keep- ing • themselves informed, of coming out to their meetings and Strange Ideas Folks Have About Washington Washington, like every other capital, is full of rumors" More than that, it is a funnel for rule. - ors from all over the country - of the oldest, most heavily beard- , ed and venerable rumors in hu- man experience. Since citizens keep on seeking action on them, Government agencies have to keep on denying them. The latest to turn up again -- just the other day -was the ac- cusation that among the Slnith- soniali ''restitution's most prized possessions was the, skull of the famous Sioux chieftain, • Sitting Bull, conqueror of Gen. George Custer. Dr. T. Dale Stewart, the Smithsonian's Curator of Physi- cal Anthropology, replied that the Institution had never pos- sessed Sitting Bull's skull, but that his records showed` that the chief was . buried in Fort Yates, N. D. where his grave had been an object of veneration for years Here are some other peren- nially unscotchable rulnors: Stuffed Cat. Many visitors to the Smithsonian seek the mount- ed remains of the tabby cat that allegedly survived a drop from the top of the Washington Monu- ment, only to be killed by a dog as it tried to make its gateway They have become more insist- ent recently, since a syndicated columnist revived the yarn and stated as a fact that the animal .had a preferred place among the exhibits in the fanned museum. • It isn't so. Free Seeds. More than a quar- ter of a century has passed since the Department of Agriculture gave out its last free seeds. Yet each year the department still receives several thousand such requests, many of them forward- ed by Congressmen. In an effort to save uselesscorrespondence the department several years ago -issued a humorous booklet about seeds entitled: "No! No! A Thou- sand Times No!" The result: a temporary spurt in the number of free seeds requests. Stradivarius Violins.

They will have to change their habits of non -co-operation, and if necessary they will. have to change their leaders. There must be some young •men on the farms of Ontario, capable and willing to take the lead.
