How Food Products Are, Safeguarded
Duringthe first world. war, 'insects
destroyed large quantities: of food-
stuffs, •including flour, cereals,, grain
of all kinds and seeds. On tie 'out -
;break of the 'present war, Canadian
authorities were on the alert. The
' Division of Entomology and the Divi •
-
sion. of plant Protection, Science Ser-
vice, Dominion Department of .Agri-
culture, and., the Board of Grain Com-
'lnission'ers, 4wlith assistance from the
Agricultural Supplies Board, evolved
a C2 -operative program to avoid loss-.
es '•`from insect depredation, particu-
larly of. grains and other food pro.
'ducts Tieing shipped overseas.

Bigger Poultry Flocks Piot Needed
Behind -the recent statement of the
Dominion Government of ,Agricuitiire
that sufficient egg supplies, for Great
'Britain now appear . assured without
further expansion of •Canadian poul-
try flocks, lies a warningto the poul-
try industry. •T,he• Warning is Jthat in -
the near future, Canadian poultrymen
should plan to obtain ,their egg pro-
duction from more efficient poultry
and poultry husbandry rather than
from.. increased numbers of poultry.
..
The quantity of eggs whichthe
-Special . Products Board expects. to
acquire: for • Britain this.' year may
equal the entire quantity . of eggs
shipped annually from Denmark to.
Britain in pre-war days. Canadian
Shipments of dried egg powder to
Britain may- this year.; equal one-
third the entire amount of British
egg imports in the years before the
war, Much of this estimate. is tared
on the fact that by the middle of
May, the Special Products Board had
bought 2,617 'carloads of shell 'eggs as
against only 1,250 carloads at the
corresponding' time a year ago.
Even though some farmers were
disappointed last winter that they did
not get ceiling prices for their eggs
over a longer period, the sales of
chicks this year are reported to be
larger than those of last year.
If feed supplies are available for
full production next . winter and if
flock's, are . still further increased,
poultry producers may he faced with
even •shorter periods of ceiling prices.

An idea which might do much to-
wards developing 'closer unity and
certainly - more understanding be-
tween English and French speaking
Canadians was proposed• in the Sen-
ate 'by Senator A. David of Sorel, Que-
bec. He would 'have prepared with
,all provincial governments consenting
and advising .as .to content, a text-
book on Canadian history • which
would stress equally the history of all
sections of Canada, and emphasize
the development of the nation, as a
whole, sounds meaty and• a step in
the right direction.

Greater significance attaches to the
1944 wheat harvests in North Ameri-
ca than seemed likely eight or ten
months ago. It is expected; says the
Monthly Review of the Wheat Situa-
tion, that 1,750,000.000• bushels • of Can-
adian and .U.S. wheat will disappear
during the present crop year, and that
the- combined carryover of the two
countries will show a reduction of
"540,000,000 bushels from the total a
year earlier.

As we face a little shorter butter
ration -temporarily, it is interesting
to note that .the largest quantity• of
creamery butter ever produced in
Canada was the 1943 output which
represents an increase of 28,000,000
pounds over that -of 1942.

The five main Weapons of wartime
economic control are: 1. Trice Con-
trol; 2. Wages and salary control; 3.
Heavy.. taxation; 4. Increased sav-
ings, • through- Victory Loan cam-
paigns, etc; 5. Control over distribu-
tion of. materials "and supplies. Knock
a hole in any one and the . whole
structure is weakened. Regardless
of little , nequalities which crop up,
we cannot get away from the fact
that .there was a 14.6 per cent rise
in cost of living before`price control,
as compared with 3.1 per cent. since.

the poultry business in Canada is
a btg one, and affects a lot of Peo-
ple.. Poultrymen know there is a
large quantity of dressed poultry in
storage today, but . they will be `glad
to- hear from the Department of Ag-
ricultullee that 1944 exports to date
total nearly five million pounds; that
private. ' firms will soon export 1,300,-
000 pounds of Grade C fowl, chicken,
turkey, ducks and geese of all grades
except "D" to private buyers in the
U.S.A. The S•ectal Products Board
is exporting 345,000 pounds of dress-
ed poultry to the 'United States from
British Columbia alone. In addition,
two million of dressed chicken, fowl
and turkey are going to—the—British
Ministry of Food. ,B'ut 'the warning

find a market for birds that are un-
der -finished, improperly killed anti

to spread marketings by •more eys-

Canadians. use far less of the leafy
green vegetables than do either the
people of the United States or Great
Britain.. '
This is one of the •many •significant
facts 'contained in the recently pub-
lished report of a comparative study
of food 'consumption in the three
countries.
Last *year the 'people of the United
States had four times, and in Britain
more than seven tunes as much of
these important vegetables as Cana-
dians.
Nutrition Services at Ottawa advis-
es a last-minute •check of garden
plans to make sure of a good supply
of the important "greens."
The dark green leafy vegetables
are particularly rich sources of vita-
min A. ,This vitamin is 'popularly
kown in Britain has the Blackout vit-
amin' because it 'helps prevent night
blindness. It also also necessary for
growth and to keep the mucous mem-
branes of the body in a healthy C$n-
dition.
SAW—DON'T CUT

bread take. Four slices off the end
and they're- as crooked as a snake
fence. Try slicing evenly .down to a
thin crisp crust. Basy does it. Hold
the loaf „on its nide . the ; side
crust is .usually firmer . then with
a sharp knife saw . . ..don't cut.
Watch the side toward you and if
the slice is straight there the rest
of the piece of bread will be too.
KITCHEN LIFE LINES

Heat canned foods- quickly, they 'are

:... Prime, Minister, Returns
Prime Minister King's return to
Ottawa from the London conference
of •Commonwealth prime ministers
was a triumph such as few public
men have been privileged to achieve
in Canada. Members of Parliament
of all political stripes met biro at -the
airport on his return and gave him
a rousing welcome.• But it was the
following day , in Parliament that
turned out to be one,of the greatest
occabion's in the life of the present
Prime Minister, who has for eighteen
years' beaded the lovernment

he' said: "'"We feel, as I, think all
the House feels, ,that the Prime Min-
ister on his recent trip, acted with'

which the elected representatives .of
all Canadians joined wholeheartedly,
'fhe feeling that the Canadian prime
Minister spoke overseas for all Can-
ada
anada and carried. great 'weight in the
deliberations there," ,has heightened
since his return.
In „his statement to Parliament Mr.
King declared he was -never so sure
of victory as now, but warned that
the greatest conflict of arms in the
History of the world is going to be
harder and longer than most people
hink. As .in all his planning during

N you want sound advice you go
to a friend who' has had experience
with whatever' is worrying you. When you
have to have professional advice you buy
the best you can afford. In the same way,
because the life insurance companies are
the guardians of the people's savings, they
seek the best business brains in Canada.
Individual directors of life insurance
companies often occupy'similar positions
in,: many other lines of business. This is
because they are men who have proven
t ' it ability. It needs men of sound judg-
ent and wide experience to determine
safe procedure in matter's vital to so many
millions of people. -
Life insurance is a business of many
phases. It ' bridges a 'g'ap between your
present earning power• and your far distant
needs sometimes spanning, over half a
'century.
It is essential to have life insurance com-
panies directed by ;nen of broad business
