' It's an easy way to make sure of your Vitamin B. Wheat germ is•excellent in Vitamin B1 value—one'of the vitamins Cana- dian diets are most often deficient in. One hundred grams (about Y4 cup) contains 700 international units of Bl, Our daily requirement.. As .a source of Riboflavin, it is high in potency and it also contains Vitamin E and Nico- tinic .Acid. Scientists tells us that the body absorbs twice as much 'iron and phosphorous from wheat germ as from an equal amount of white bread. It is a good idea to buy your wheat germ in small quantities as it is not easily stored for long periods. If you seal it tightly in a glass jar, it will keep for --at least a month. Be sure to store it in a cool, dry place—the refrigerator is just the spot. And now, with cereals in mind, we present a few new recipes.

For on the.attack, war materials just seem to melt away. The consumption of the supplies you are making is going on at an unbelievable rate—hasten- ing the day of Victory and Peace. This means that the production of • war supplies must.go on; ever faster. It also means that the cost of the war ,is becoming greater. A great deal of these two responsibilities must be carried by war workers like yourself. Only you can maintain and increase the flow of essential' war materials. And you,,in common with every loyal citizen of Canada, can help finance the increasing cost of the attack, Your purchase of Victory Bonds is an essential part of the Allied war strategy. Bonds are intended to be purchased by anyone. They are not reserved for financiers, merchants, bankers or people of wealth Only. You and I, and all of us can and should own Victory Bbnds. The fourth Victory Loan will open soon. The mil- lions of workers employed in Industry — war and otherwise— are counted upon to loan a definite part of the amount required in the biggest loan yet asked of the Canadian people. To reach it, more men and women and children must become bond purchasers, and it will be necessary for those who have purchased bonds in previous loans to buy - more bonds. When your fellow worker calls on you to buy Victory Bonds BE READY. Give him two orders. One for cash, and the other for the very limit that you can buy out of earnings, on the Payroll Savings Plan. Plan now to do your part • to sustain the attack! NATIONAL WAR, FINANCE COMMITTEE • A4 Normally Canada imports great quantities of early vegetables from the United States, in addition to huge crops- grown here. The result is two fruit stores to a block in most Cana- dian 'cities. Those whohave been studying the situation say that condi- tions are likely to be different this year. In the first place°Uncle Sam is going,to buy up every lunch of vege- tables he will the able to get his hands on. These he will dehydrate, pack in tight containers, and send them to his and our troops everseas. There will also be some of this dehydration ill Canada. But that is not the whole story. There is going to be very little tin for canning vegetables this year and that means another abundant source of supply restricted. Finally, the .. mar- ket gardeners are not going to be able to grow as many vegetables as usual because of the shortage of la- bor. And all these restrictions come at the very time our consumption of vegetbles is sharply increasing. The whole thing adds up •to the slogan— "Grow your own." They Will Be Fresh And when one does grow his own vegetables right at the door there is more than the reward of garden fresh ness. One will, get all the vitamins, many more than when we depend on vegetables harvested perhaps two or three days before we buy them. Vita- mins, the scientists state, are rather delicato little chaps, they only last a short time. The only sue way of getting them all, along with. real freshness, is to have a garden full 'of them within a• few yards of the kit- chen, and pop •them into the pot or into a ,.salad just a few minutes be fore they are eaten. Thinning One can save oneself a lot of stoop- ing and bother by proper spacing of seed when sowing. With beans, peas and such seed, from three to fie inch- es apart is about right. With fine seeds like those of carrots, lettuce and.such it is difficult to space evenly and thinly, but with a little care one can prevent bunching. This care in sowing will be repaid later when the plants start to grow, as much thin- ning will be saved. But even with this careful sowing, - some thinning is inevitable with beets, onions, parsnips and similar fine seed plants. The object is to give room for early growth. It is not necessary to thin, say, beets and car- rots. ' to more than an inch or so apart. Long before they have reach- ed full maturity a 1o, of the, beets and carrots will have been pulled and used. Wilen the plants are half grown one -can startusing every other one in the row. Importance of Cultivation. Killing weeds is only one function of cultivation. Io, the well -cared for garden where. weeds never make rauch growth anyway, the main job is to improve the soil by -maintaining moisture, letting in air and keeping sail fine. One or two thorough cul- tivations of vegetable or •flower gar- dens after planting, and then a little stirring up lightly with a cultivator— preferably once a week until the mid- dle of summer—and growth will come along almost regardless of dry wea- ther.- NEXT W kiEK—First Plantings ; Getting the Most Out of a Little Space; Easily Grown Flowers. Clean Craps To be successful in •any 'enterprise it is necessary to apply the most up- to-date methods. A clean field of vege- table crops is like a well managed house where the least amount of dust, moths, and salvage are to be found. Careful management of the soil, dis- poiai of waste materials, use of mar4- ure and fertilizer, control of weeds and , the protection of the plants against insects and diseases, are all comparable to good house keeping, states T. F. Ritchie, Division of Horti- culture, Central Experimental .Farm, Ottawa. Clean fields are an indication of prosperity in the offing and it is much better to have the crops making use of all the plant food and 'moisture than to have them competing with weeds. Just as soon as the plants are -large enough so that the rows can be seen, cultivation should be started, using the 'wheel .hoe close to the rows and the power or horse- drawn cultivator where the rows are wide enough. Frequent scuffling will keep the weeds down. Hoeing and thinning, should- be done promptly so as to endourage the plants to make rapid unchecked growth. Where the plants have been transplanted,•culti- vation sliould be given as soon as pos- sible. It is net necessary to give deep cultivation in the fore part of the season. Less injury will be"done to the roots where shallow scuffling is given and just as good results will be obtained. - Keep all weeds from going to seed no matter how small they are, as the seeds from these plants will insure a good stand of weeds the next season. Prevention is better than cure. • Be lrrompt with all disease and in- sect control measures. Obtain a spray, calendar and other. publications on vegetable growing from the .

In the lubrication of machines, it is important that the proper lubricant be used, and that lubricants be kept clean. Machine oils have a `sticky' consistency and cling to bearings bet- ter than other oils. Used motor oil is satisfactory for lubricating bearings on farm implements, by,t it must be applied at very short intervals be- cause it does not cling to bearings. Wheire oil holes are used for lubri- cation, a small amount of machine oil applied frequently gives better lub- rication and wastes less oil than does a large amount applied once or twice a day. The practice of going over the entire machine with an Foil can eaeh time the 'horses stop to rest will un- doubtedly prolong the life of moving parts in machines. 011 holeswhich are exposed to „dust May require elean- ing with a wire each time the ,ma- chine is lubricated. Where parts are lubricated, by oil cups the oil chan- nels should be chocked to be sure that the grease has not caked in the oil channels. Where a pressure gun is used for applying grease, the lubri- cant should be forced into the bear- ings until the old grease is forced out at both sides of the bearings. In cases where gears or chains are exposed •to dila' and sand, less wear may result if -these parts are run dry. Drive chains should be used period- ically in kerosene, dipped in light oil, drained off and wiped and them re- placed. Because pressure gun lubrication is more convenient to use and sup•ior to grease cup lubrication; the 1ub}`ica- tioh systems on many machines have been converted to pressure gun lubri- cation. Pressure gun fittings as used on cars,- tractors, or trucks can often be screwed directely into the bearing casting after removing the oil cup. Where lubrication is by oil holes, it is necessary to drill` out the oil hole and tap• it to fit the thread •on the' pressure gun fittings. Sometimes pres- sure fittings' are placed in the grease cup caps by. drilling 'a hole in the cap andscrewing-in the fitting without cutting a thread. Where instruction books for farm machines, tractors or cars are available,' the directions as to the type of oil to use and -the fre- quency of applying oil should be care- fully followed. and Extension Division, • Dominion 'Deil'attment of Agriculture, Ottawa.
