D. asks: "What causes. cloudiness in canned, peas? How can it be prevented?" Answer: This may be caused, by insufficient pre-cooking, by some mi.- eral in the water that is used, by using ,peas that are rtoo ' old for can- ning, or by peas bursting during pro- cessing. Proper pre-cooking, use of clear water and careful handling pre- vents cloudiness. Mrs. J. D. asks: • "In oven• canning is it necessary to allow the oven to get cold before placing second batch of jars in for processing?" Answer: No. Second batch of jars may be placed. in oven as soon as. first' batch is removed. Anne Allan invites you to write to. her c/o The Huron Expositor.

She recently celebrated' her 89th birthdayand prior to this accident had been in good health.— Trucking ealth. Trucking Law Has First Prosecution The first prosecution under the Farm Products Grades and Sales Act regulations requiring special licenses and markers for all trucks transport- ing fruits and vegetables resulted this week in Toronto police court in a plea of guilty by the Mitchell Pacific Produce Company, of Toronto, under Section 12, su-section 1 of the regula- tions, and a fine of $10 and costs of $11.10 being imposed. The section un- der which the prosecution was 'made by- the Fruit Branch of the Ontario Department of Agriculture provides that: "Ne. dealer shall transport fruit or vegetables upon a highway in a 'mo- tor vehicle unless a marker 'has been issued and placed and on 'display at all ,times on the ..lower right hand corner of the windshield, of the motor vehicle." In this case, the accused firm plead- ed guilty to transporting fruit and vegetables in a truck which did not carry the special marker as required. The'" Department has been very patient in prosecuting under these regulations .until sufficient time had elapsed to :,allow all •dealers to be- come familiar with them, and this first prosecution is an indication that from now on the regulations Will be strictly enforced. • Milkweed Milkweed, or sometimes called, Sil-' weed, is very abundant on many roadsides; pasture land and cultivated areas in Ontario. It is a deep-rooted perennial Weed, ' with a stout stalk from 'two to 4ive feet high, covered with soft hairs. The leaves are large, lance -oblong to broadly oval, with fine down on the under surface. The flowers' are dull purple to white in color and the fruit is a large pod which splits down the side to allow the white .plumed seeds toe escape. When the stems or leaveslare broken a thick milky juice is emitted, hence its name, Milkweed. 'Because the •roots are so deep in the ground and are of a spreading na- ture, the task of eradicating it froni a cultivated area i•s very difficult. Because of the thousands of plumed seeds it produces when ripe, a few plants may soon seedy down a wide area. When cutting this •weed. the milky juice will soon gum up ,the knives and it is very troublesome to clean off. An infestation should 'not be allow- ed to go to .seed and wherever scat- tered , plants occur they should be spudded out, Ma field is •badly infected, it should he broken up during, July' in order that the heat of the sunmay dry o11t the roots.' This, should be 'followed by frequent,•therough cultivation using a one -Way d4sc or a stiff tooth cultiva- tor.

Particular topics of interest include such questions as: Should Canada join the Pan-American Union when invited to do so? Should Can- ada immediately use its power to dis- continue appeals to the Privy Coun- cil of 'Great Britain? What shpuld Canada's attitude be at the meeting of the general assembly of the United Nations opening September 17? And, of course, Canada's continual interest 4n greater freedom of trade on which the welfare of her citizens depends. Free Or Planned Trade An interesting trend of the discus- sions on trade is the frank admission that now comes from the socialists that planned trade is, from the point of view of the welfare of the masses of people, inferior to freedom of trade which requires facilities for and 'the will to expedite -multi -lateral trading. The Ottawa Citizen, which is now' :coked upon as the chief apologists for socialism in the capital, puts for- w,rd the unusual claim that "full em- ployment" cam only be obtained by bi- lateral agreements.' .•It does not at- tempt ttempt to explain how it comes to this conclusion in spite. of evidence ,conclusion trading would be greater and would ,therefore create more empl'oylment. This evidence is admitted in its final sentence which says that "countries which want a stabilized economy will 'plan' it at a low and not at a high level." While there has been considerable proof in actual practise this is the first ' open statement from socialists that their "system', will give a lower standard of living to those who adopt or permit it. to The Privy Cotfncil-of Great Britain There is ' still considerable •differ- egce of opinion on how soon the gov- Work this up several times during the fall. Continue cultivation the next spring and summer and sow fall wheat. Cultivation must be thorough and the fallow 'kept black. If starting a. fallow in the spring, cultivation should be started as early as possible, continued- till late fall and left in a rough state till the fol- lowing spring. Early cultivation fol- lowed by seeding to early maturing varieties of grain heavily seeded down to clovers should' be effective. A .short rotation of clover, grain, clover and - grain should :be practiced with the .clover'being plowed down after the first cut of, hay. and fallowed the rest of the Summer and fall. Spraying of areas which cannot be cultivated is very effective using a spray with a sodium chlorate base, such as Stephen Weed Killer or Atla- ciae: ' From one to 'one and a 'half pounds of Stephen Weed Killer or .Atiacide to a -gallon, of water spray- ed at the rate of 200 gallons - per acre will kill Milkweed. Milkweed, is quite resistant to 2,4-D and therefore it is .not recommended to spray 2,4-D to kill this weed. How- ever, when 2;4-D is -applied to Milk- weed in the early stages,. it will pre- vent it from sending, but the lower portions of the plant and'roots do not seem to be affected. ernment should act to discontinue ap- peals from Canada to the Privy Conti - di of Great Britain.. The Privy Coun- cil itself decided that' the parliament of Canada has the right'to have the final court of appeal a Canadian one. Pot years thbae who wanted to main - tarn e:ppeals to the Privy Council were accused of being "Imperialists" and colonially ninded, The addition of Union Nationale Premier Duplessis of Quebec to the ranks of those who would -retain the right of appeal to Britain may change this charge but will not strengthen or reassure them, in their stand. . It appears to this observer that the weigh t of public opinion in, all 'prow inces is .in favor of having a 'Cana- dian Gana dian Court give "final judgment on Canadian questions. Canada's Position in the Americas While there is much interest in political circles herein Canada's posi- tion in relation to the other countries of North and South America, it is dif- ficult to find any general or crystal- lized opinion: No one denies that Canada must play her full part in the British Commonwealth of Nations. Few, if any will deny that we must also play our full part as a sovereign nation of the new world. Whether these two position are compatible or conflicting is a question in many minds. . Certainly it is hoped every- where or almost everywhere, that both positions can be maintained., This "hope will be possible only if the great ideal and objective of the Unit- ed Nations is, in large part, realized - It is recognized here that this is not an academic or remote question but ofie that will vitally affect the per- sonal welfare of every Canadian. Commended By Communists Many members of the socialist (0 C.F.) party are unhappy about the -praise that is ,being heaped, by both the Russian and Canadian Commun- ist papers, upon William Irvine, C.C.P. M.P. from Alberta. Only a short while ago the C.C.F. leader denied'• that there was' any sympathy or co-opera- tion between the two parties who ad- vocate similar "idealogies." Mr. Irvine defended Russia's spy activities in Canada, denounced Ivor. •Gouzenko, who revealed the Russian plot to the police, for his loyalty to Canada, claimed that Russia's stand- ard of living is not much below that of Canada and that the Russian gov, ernment is representative of=its peo- ple. He also said that the report of twenty million in Russian concentra- tion camps was "not worth denying." The C.C.F. member • of parliament .was apparently not able to give any proof for his statement and most ob- servers write his performance off as, an "emotional outburst." The hot days in the nation's' capital last week reduced political specula- tion* and argument to a minimum. The shock of the sudden death of two • notable figures, Hon. Frank Bridges and Senator "Gerry" McGeer. is keenly felt. Both were recognized - as hard-working andexceptionally able, public men whose inspiration was their deep love for and 'loyalty to Canada. There •,is interest, and some out- spoken • disappointment at the new economic, plans put into force by Bri- tain's socialist government: No one denies that it will have a serious ef- fect on both Canada's foreign trade and ' her monetary position with re-' spect to other countries. Our Depart- ment of Trade and Commerce has convinced us that one-third of our income comes from external trade and that the loss would be felt by all whether our income comes directly from external sources or indirectly. Under these conditions it is not dif- ficult to understand the intense con- cern felt in all -circles here about our external relations. Britain's state- ment at' Geneva that she could not sign the multilateral tariff agreement as now drafted, for at least another year, is a blow to Canada's hopes and efforts for freer world trade. I -11W Much is Socialism To Blame? Would Britain's position have pro- gressively worsened if its govern- ment had been -less concerned,'about "socialism" is the question in many minds. 'The decisionof the . British government to .postpone the "social- ization" of the steel industry until the Economic crisis is over would in- die't'+,that eyen the socialists believe til ttohthe, econ$tr)tct Qn 111trimerld- time o land. This observer Is �cohvinced that Canadians are more and more com- ing om ing to the conclltsiou%=perha=ps re- luctantly—that e- luctantly that our greatest hope, if not our single mope, for happiness and prosperity, comes only from a strengthening of the United Nations.. It is beooming clear that: a high level of multilateral trade will not come except through united action; --Few have illusions- about the difficulties and dangers in the way with Soviet Russia challenging every move, and with socialist "planning" on a nation- al basis threatening every attempt at the freer trade which is necessary if. the unfortunate millionti of the world are to obtain food. Exaggerated "na- tionalism" is a luxury -we cannot af- ford. Many are watching the news of Rt.' Hon. C. D. Howe's activities in Eur- ope where he is representing the gov- ernment an people of Canada and on business. as acting minister of the de- partment Which handles immigration. Regardless of party,• Canadians have come tot expect big things from Mr Howe in whatever capacity he acts No one has forgotten the vision, forthright action and • judgment that demonstrated in organizing Can- ada's industt for war purposes- an his quick handling of reconstruction for peace. A recent Gallup poll showed that 62 per cent of our people believe that we need immigrants-, Perhaps a still larger number favor bringing in dis- placed peri -ons from Europe. for hu- manitarian- reasons. Mr. Howe will have strong support across Canada for his efforts to'find suitable "pro- spective" Canadians. One of the interesting aspects of the Gallup poll was the' support for filiation. Liberals showed 66 per cent immigration according to political af- of, immigration, Progressive Conserv- atives showed 68 per cent, Co-opera- tive Commonwealth Federation show- ed 59 per cent in favor. These fig- ures include those in each party who specified immigrants- `of the right type." Canada needs people with capital to establish new industries. It can use technicians and scientists.
