Take a Tip
1. Instead of having the recipes
you clip loose in a drawer, keep them
pasted in a loose-leaf notebook. Hang
it by a skirt hanger, at eye level.
You will be able to find what you
want and the pages will stay clean.

If the war plot is' very tiny, authors -

vegetables which : give the biggest
yield. This means small, compact
things like onions, carrots, beets, let-
tuce;
ettuce, radish '3iltinaeh,' beans' and +Pos-

the first 'five . items even 10 feet of
row, if given a littleattention in the.
way of thinning, cultivation and per-
haps watering and fertilizer, should
produce three or four good meals for
the- fair-sized family. And as the
rows can be spaced a mere foot apart
a plot a dozen feet each way will
grow• a, lot of crop. Spinach and
beans take a little' more space, but
20 feet of row will furnish, several
meals:

start in .working life after the war.
To, get. te,proper perspective'of the
situation you, must know that at the
time of the first census in,1871, over
80 percent bof Canada's population
'Were farmers. By 1941 this ''had drop-
'°
ped toonly 45 per' cent. Between
August 3V1989, and January 31, 1943,
over 430,000 'teen and boys left their
farms, some into the forces, others
'into industry,
it is interesting to note, too, a shift
in farming is slowly taking place.
During 'the '30's . both Ontario and,
Nova Scotia showed 20 `per• cent de-
creases In their farm 'populations.
New Brunswick • and Saskatchewan
reported 10;,per cent fewer farmers;
while Prince • Edward Island, Mani-
toba. and British Columbia :indicated.
five per cent, declines. Only' in Que-
bec and Manitoba did the number of
farmers increase, and by less than 10
per cent. There,;; have been further
losses in the last three years.
Then takeabandoned farms, rising
m number from 32,8O0.,in 1931 to 52,-
500 in 1941 .(and, of course, higher to-
day) all refiecting the flight from the

period decreased from an average of
'$7,200 in .19.31 to $5,700 in 1941, main-
ly on land and buildings, for*there
has definitely.. been an increase in
value of implements, machinery and
livestock.

There is a tremendous demand for
engineers andscience graduates for
war industries and essential civilian
services, as •sabown by an analysis
from the Department of Labour's
Wartime' Bureau of Technical Person-
nel.. In January and February this
Year, the Bureau got more employers'
engniries for 'technically' trained per-
sons than at any time since Novem-
ber, 1942.There are five vacancies
:for eyery ' three available, although:
31,050 persons so listed are now en-
gaged in essential work. A large
number of the 1444 engineering and
science graduates have already been
spoken for by Army, Navy and, Air
Force.
