Once grass passes to the jointed stage, its nutri- tive value as feed. rapidly falls. Grass has high mineral -and other healthful properties which improves feather growth and the- general con- dition of birds. Grass feeding also increases a bird's resistance to'dis- ease. The grass should be kept short and. growing. To keep it growing, it should be grazed closely and mowed frequently. Growing birds and . laying hens on short grass pasture with grain' willcarry on, even if normal supply of concentrates is net avail- able. 13.

FARM MACHINERY NEEDS CARE As replacements are difficult these ,days. care of farm machinery, recent- ly taken from winter storage, is im- portant.. In past years, a great ',dead of the equipment owned -by farivet's had been destroyed through neglect. Feed grinders, milk coolers,- pumps and the larger pieces of farm machin- ery should be kept well lubricated at all times. The outside of different engines aboute'the farm should be kept clean, and wiped off with a .light lubricating oil. 1 MOTHERS MQB1L1ZE TO BRING HEALTH TO FAMILIES!

Scientific Work The achievements of the sicentific work being carried on by the Depart- ment of Agriculture are, Dr. Swaine stimates, saving the agricultural and orest industries of. Canada enormous values annually in crops and products. The development of rust resi`Stant wheats, -to which the Division of. Botany and Plant Pathology made an essential contribution working in co - ,operation with plant breeders of the Dominion Experimental Farms has removed the danger of enormous loss- es by black stem rust. The provision of control measures against the men- ace of grasshoppers ,an Western Can- ada is saving millions of dollars ev- ery year. The introduction of large numbers of parasites of the European spruce sawfly into the spruce forests of Canada, and the subsequent multi- plication of these parasites by the hundreds of millions, is proving a lector. in controlling a major threat to one of the most valuable of the natural resources of the country. The control of virus diseases of patatoes is of substantia.] benefit to the indus- try. Chemical and bacteriological research and analyses in connection with food products, agricultural crops and soils have proved to be of in- valuable service. The research work on diseases of farm animals and poul- try, and the manufacture of veterin- ary biologies is a contribution to the notably high health standard of Can- adian live stock. "Moreover the in- spectian and quarantine services are a continual help in preventing the in- troduction of destructive pests and diseases, . .Dr. Swaine is of the opinion that in some years, several of these achievements have saved to Canadian -agriculture more than the entiere cost 'e tee ruble- of Science Service '.ehorafories ?'cr the past generation. It is only in comparatively recent years that science in agriculture has demonstrated its importance. Because of the significant contributions , the- agricultural heagricultural scientist has .made, he is no longer regarded. with indifference by farmers.

' Meat Rationing Canadian women are 'no longer nov- ices at meat rationing, It is amazing how quickly the adjustment is made to thinking in terms of coupons and coupon values, and by now most. wo- men ilia -ye realized that the prospect of meat rationing seemed much worse than the reality when it came. One good thing thatmeat ration- ing will do is to help introduce var- iety into meals. New recipes„ design- ed to make the most of a small amount of meat, are not only coupon - thrifty, -they would stand on. their own merits as welcome additions to menus at any time. 4" This Meat and Potato ' Casserole from the testing kitchens• of the Con- sumer Section of the Department of Agriculture is an example.

Join the thousands of Farm Com- mandos who "dose up shop" or lay down their tools to make "raids" into the country and help farmers take their crops' from the land. Farm Commando Brigades are springing up in Chambers of Commerce, Boards of Trade, Service Clubs, Churches and other men's organizations all over Ontario. Townsmen are getting together to make a direct, patriotic contribution to the War Effort by helping to save the crops. Farm Commandos are paid a minimum of twenty-five cents an hour, and many Commandos contribute these earnings to favourite war charities. If there is no Farm Commando Brigade forming in your • locality, take it up with your own men's organization and get your local Brigade started at once. Every possible man-hour must be put in during harvesting to prevent irreplaceable loss of food that is essential to the Allied War Effort and to Canada herself! Your help is needed—NOW! Volunteer in a Farm Commando Brigade•and be ready to help when harvest emergencies arise.
