oi.the average food budget.
However there are plenty of nutri-
rti'f a greens available now—within the
reach of many of us. We all know
dandelions and watercress. They are
good and you can obtain them free
of charge—picking them yourself.
The favourite .busy -day dish is hot
potato salad to serve with these
greens. Oheap, too. You make it this
way: Peel and; cube potatoes, Cook
in .a small amount of water. Mean-
while" fry a cup ' of diced salt pork.
Carefully pour in one-quarter cup of
vinegar and one-quarter cup of wa-
ter.
ater. Add :salt, pepper and any other
(seasoning such as onion, watercress
or celery- tops. This is enough dress-
ing for four - cups of potatoes. Drain
potatoes and pour over the dressing.
Mix lightly and serve.
Hot potato salad and cooked greens
are delicious with weiners or veal
claps. A'good milk pudding willtop
rthia easy -to -prepare dinner, you'll
agree.
Carrot Loaf
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups sliced young raw carrots
1 small dry onion
% cup celery leaves
3 eggs .
1 cup, evaporated milk (undiluted)
2 teaspoons salt
Few grains of„ pepper
1/16 teaspoon chili powder
Green peas for filling.
Cook the rice and drain. Put car-
rots, onion and celery leaves through
a food chopper, using . the fine knife.
• Beat the eggs well and mix all in-
gredients except peas. Fold in the
rice and pour into a greased mold.
Bake until mixture is set at 350 de-
grees F. for about . forty minutes.
•Loosen gently' and turn onto a heat-
ed platter. Fill the ring with peas
or died brown potatoes.
, Dandelion Greens
Wash greens in several waters,
swishing each stalk through the wa-
ter and looking it over carefully for
dirt. Cut off and discard the tough
stem ends. The washing is really the
utast time -taking step in the ,prepara-
tion.
To cook, drain the greens careful-
ly from the last wash -water, pack in -
10 a, large kettle, 'Cover and 'Place
over a low heat until the greens wilt
and water collects in the bottom of
the pan. Then remove the cover, turn
up the cheat and cook quickly, five to
eight minutes, no longer Season
with salt during the last five minutes
of cooking, one-half teaspoon salt is
sufficient for one pound of greens.
Stir it into the vegetable well. Drain
the greens by lifting them up with a
fork, letting them drip in the kettle
a second, +then transfer at once •to a
hot vegetable disth. Serve immedi-
ately, plain, or garnished with wedge
shaped pieces of lemon.
Spinach Timbales
2 ceps cooked spinach or greens
2 eggs A
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons :butter
lie cup grated cheese
4 teaspoon salt.
Drain- spinach well and chop fine.
Separate eggs. Beat yolks, add milk,
melted butter, grated cheese and salt
an mix well. Stir in spinach. Beat
egg whites stiff, fold into first mix-
ture. Turn into greased mold. Set
mold -in a pat containing hot water
to a depth of ,one inch., Bake in a
moderate oven, 350 degrees until
firm: To test for doneness, insert a
clean knife in the centre of a mold.
If it comes out clean, the custard is
baked."
Take a Tip
1. 'Use the heavy frying pan to
,bake top -stove scones.
2. If you can spare a little fruit
juice pour over apare ribs, cover
and bake in a moderate oven for 1te

farms is increasing, in all,,provinces
except Quebec. With the opening up
of land for settlers "the fairly stand-
ard unit was 160 acres in eche west,
100 in the east, on the average. To-
day the average size of'- farms in Al-
berta ,and Saskatchewan is 433 acres,
For Canada as a whole theaverage
farm size went from 198 acres in 1921
to 238 acres in 1941. Itis easily,un-
derstood for •tile west anyway, where
extensive wheat acreage has become
the accepted thing anda then taking
into consideration that production of
livestock is becoming increasingly
popular.,
There area undoubtedly more large
farms, fewersmaller ones today and
figures prove that. In 1901, only 13
per cent. of Canadian farnis were of
200 or more acres, but in 1941 al-
most 32 per cent. of the total of 7t2,-
715
38;715 •farms were than big. In 1901
there were almost 140,000 farms un-
der 50 acres, but twenty yeast later
their number had declined to' 110,000.
There is one thing 'notable about
farming. an Canada -and. that is the in-..
crease—a definite one—in those who
are turning to other lines to augment
the once usual revenue from growing
of grains. Twenty years ago --the Can-
adian farmer depended more on the,
sales of grains, seed and hay for his
cash income; than he does now. Re-
cords - of --case *Mame for 1926, . h'ow
ever, shows this: for every $100 cash
he acquired from sale 0 farnx .pro-
ducts, $52 emanated from sale of
grains, seed and b y; $21 from live-
stock and only $12 from sale of dairy
products. As contrast we jump' to
figures Air 1942 which tell us that
for every hundred dollars only $21.50
came from sale of grains, seeds and.
hay, while. $38 viral derived from live-
stock and dairy products brought him
$21. • Quite a' change which reflects
a new deal for :agriculture—resulting
from This own efforts.
'We ran into some figures on own-
ership of farms whichgive food fdr
-thought. Some of thein will have to
be qualified in the light of increased
well-being of farmers ,particularly,
since 1942, in the better prices all
round for the fruits of his efforts,
but the statistics come as a result
of the census of 1941. The basic
principle of Dominion land policy has
always been of course that the own-
ership of land should be vested in
the person who operates it. But na-
ture and the thumaii, element have el-
-ways had a band in upsetting cal-
eulations.
During the depression many 'small
owners got into,the tenancy class be-
cause of their being overburdened
with debt. In 13941 .some thirteen per
dent, ofCanadian farmers were ten-
ants, contrasted to nine per cent. in
1901. in Manitoba., for instance, on
figures taken in 1941, only two-thirds
of the farms were operated by "owni-'I
ers, while next door Saskatchewan
only a little over half of the 'farms!
were occupied and operated, by the
actual owners. Bete again we repeat
thereis a• qualification, taking into
consideration Betterment of copd4-
tions since'• then, • all round. Quebec,
however,- stands put gas the exception
to the general trend, and here ,again
let us rennember Quebec is one of
tbe' *evinces ,Which has not shown
increase in larger acreages on aver-
age farms. Th -qt ' province . in 1901,
showed 90 per cent. of the rarnii
were owner -operated and that number
grew, to 93 per cent, in 1941.
In 1941 there were 550,000 full -own -
era of farm"s ins Canada but 48 per
cent of them 'shad • mortgages pr

To entourage banks to 'Make loans_
for this Purpose he said,' the Gov-
er'0inent will guarantee• '''the loans:
Maximum interest rate is live ,per
cent. simple interest. ..
„ Through,, thtf;' „ecru.:,procedure Mr.
Ilsley- said, "We shall ' be" 'makin . a
g
real" contribution, to ':the reduction' In
the, price of farm machinery and to
the. economical conduct ,of the farn}-
ing industry." P
Mr': Ilsley said fishermen, also have
suffered from a lack of this forri of
credit and similar .legislation design-
ed -to aid tk.em will be passed at a
later. date.:; In the meantime, other
changes will make it easier for fish-
et•men to get loans.
. Would Reduce Small Loan Rate;'
Answering in advance C.C.F. de-
mands for nationalization of banks,
Mr. Ilsley revealed that over the past
15 years the average income of all
Canadian banks has resulted .in total
net lucerne to shareholders of only
5.09 per' cent. of the total sharehold-
ers' equity. '
The Government also proposes re-
vision of ate 'Act to permit banks to
participate in small, 'personal, instal-
ment loans at au interest rate less
than half .that of present small Loan
companies. •
The House of Commons may wish
to consider and revise 'the Central
Mortgage Bank Act, he said. This act
was passed just before the war but
suspended because of the .war..
Mr. Ilsley described the amend-
ments as part of ,"a series of reforms
we expect to carry much •farther dur-
ing the present .session of parlia-
ment." • They are, he said, designed
to aid the•Government in its determ-
ination "that this young country shall
make: great strides • to biggerandbet-
ter things." -
26 Cents Per Pound Paid For Cheese
Canada has started the task of slip -
plying 125 million pounds of cheese
to Brittain' under a contract that
started May 1st. With the contract
price of 20 cents a pound and with
federal and provincial subsidies, far-
mers will get 26, cents a pound for
their cheese at the factory.
Camp is Staffed in Record Time
Hon. Humphrey Mitchell, • Minister
of Labor, in his review of the work
of Selective 'Service, pointed out
something that all veteran Parlia-
ment Hill observers know—that it is
the complaints that make 'the front
pages, and seldom do the.. stories of
the successes of a department.
He' told how the 'Edmonton office
of Selective Service received a call'
on Saturday morning from an Ameri-
can'contract6r for men to, staff a eoma
plete . 250 -man construction camp.
Fifty hours later the entire camp was
en route to the north, with superin-
tendent, lal!orers, cooks, foremen
and carpenters.
True yardsticks for measuring . a
manpower policy is results, he said,
and in Canada 57 per cent of ` all per-
sons 14 and aver are working. The
armed foreee are at 'a record level;
yet production is on an•unpreeedent
ed scale.
A possible pattern for the financ-
ing of low cost 'housing is seen, in a
plan being worked out between the
Federal Government and a group of
Montreal businessmen to upend $3,-
000,000 on 900-hotising units -in Mon-'
treal.
The businessmen would provide an
interest-free loan ot,,••one-tenth the
program's cost, the Government loan-
ing,
oaning,the rest. When the loans are re=
"paid, the housing units would be
given to the city.
Canning Asparagus
Right new m is the' time to do con-
structive thinking about the year's
canning program. With the urge to
save every particle et usable food,
most women are looking forward to
canning, more fruits 'and vegetables
this.. year than ever -before.
The home economists of the Do-
minion. Department, of. Agriculture,
Consumer Section, say that the first
step in successful canning' is carried
out well in advance .Of the actual
packing of food. It starts when seal-
ers are emptied of the previous year's
pack. When sealers are being put
away they ;should 1?e carefully Wash-
ed and rinsed in hot water. Each.
sealer' Should be examined to see that
there are no chips in the rim di' in
the glass ,top. The proper 'glass lid
should be put In place and sealers
closed to keep them clean. Imper
feet sealers'should be"get aside to be
used . •for jam or pickles: ' ,. -
Other equipment- ,should also be
checked 'early, A pressure cooker is
most satisfactory for, prodessing •non-
caid vegetables but the gauge must
