Mrs. James Erskine, Monkton,
gave an inspiring address. She com-
mended these anniversary gather-

common in these days to forget
older members and those who had
laid foundations. Her message was
based on the parable of the tal-
ents as given in the 25th chapter
of St. Matthew, with special em-
phasis on the two -talent man.
"Most of us belong in this class,"
she said,
Serve Refreshments to 100
"We may be inclined to be en-
vious of •the.five-talent man or we
may underestimate ourselves. Could
this latter have been the downfall
of the one -talent man?"
"Man is all for quantity; God is
all for quality," she said further.
"The world needs, not more of us,
but a better brand of us."
A duet was sung by •Mrs. Roy
McCullough and Mrs, T. L. Scott.

tion Stations in the northern Geor-
gian Bay and Manitoulin Island
districts of Ontario indicate how
severely clover and alfalfa may be
injured by weed sprays when ap-
plied in strengths sufficient to kill
the weeds completely.
In these experiments an ester
form of 2,4-D was applied to new
clover and alfalfa seedlings at
rates of 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 ounces
of acid equivalent per acre. The av-
erage percentage stands of clover
and alfalfa in the year following
treatment, as compared with the
areas wh,plie no treatment was ap-
plied, were as follows: 4 oz. 74
per cent;. 8 oz. -35 per cent; 16 oz.
—13 per cent; and 24 oz. 21 per
cent.
Prom these results it would 'ap-
pear that 2,4-D in the ester form
should not be used in strengths
greater than 4 ounces of acid equiv-
alent per acre to combat weeds in
clover and alfalfa. In sudh strength
the tops of the weeds may be killed
and seeding prevented, but the
roots usually survive. The Nation-
allWeed Committee recommends
that for clover and alfalfa, not more
than four ounces per acre of 2,4-D
in 'the amine form be used.

JAMB AND JELL.IES ,
Hello Homemakers! kihImmering,
clear jelly and tender, •fiavorful jam
can Abe the delight of every home-
maker who preserves fruit if she
knows what kinds jell readily and
what conditions control the results.
Here are a few reminders:
1. Fruits which do not make
good jelly but can be made into
jam readily are: apricots, peaches,
plums and strawberries.
2. Fruits which make good jelly
are red and black currants, goose-
berries, blueberries, .plums, rasp-
berries, quinces and mild -flavored
apples.
3. When one cup ripe fruit and
two cups under -ripe are prepared
for jelly there is better color, flav-
or and pectin content.
4. Fruit that is low in acid or
overripe should be mashed and
measured, then a small amount of
lemon juice is added. We use 6 or
8 tablespoons of lemon juice per
quart depending on ripeness of
fruit.
5. In place of lemon juice, com-
bine sweet and tart fruits such as
raspberry with red currant, blue-
berry with rhubarb, strawberry
with gooseberry.
6. It is important to wash fruit
to cleanse it thoroughly but using
a 'sieve or colander will prevent
water soaking of the fruit. For this
reason we prefer to 'wash fruit be-
fore trimming of stems or pits.
7. To decide on the amount of
water to add for extraction of juice,
mash the fruit or cut into pieces,
then pack in a measure or quart
jar. Now, for each quart of blue-
berries, grapes or raspberries, add
one cup water. For each quart of
currants, gooseberries or plums,
add two cups. For each quart of
apples or crabapples add four cups
water. Do not add more water for
the first extraction of juice since
the prolonged heating will destroy
pectin and flavor.
8. Never boil the pulp. Heat
slowly to simmering and cook un-
til very soft—about 20 to 26 retia
utes.
9. Be sure to wring the jelly 'bag
out of clear water, then ,securely
fasten in colander and over a deep
kettle. Pour .the hot, cooked fruit
into bag and let drip. if you press
the bag using two wooden spoons,
there will he more juice although
the jelly will not be clear.
10. When the juice has been ex-
tracted you can decide whether to
use bottled or crystal pectin—or by
testing a sample with denatured al-
cohol. (Follow directions for the
addition of commercial pectin care-
fully. Do not vary the amounts).
To decide on the quantity of sugar
to add to juice pour one teaspoon
of fruit juice and one teaspoon of
denatured alcohol onto a saucer
and let stand two or three minutes.
If there is little or no liquid add
one cup sugar for each cup of fruit
juice. If there are two or three
lumps with a little liquid measure
three-quarter cup sugar for each
cup of juice and if stringy mass,
use only % cup sugar per cup of
juice, In fact it is wise to use
commercial pectin if there is much
liquid from your test. The testing
jelly must never be tasted, and
should. be washed down the •sink.
11. The measured juice and sugar
should be boiled rapidly. Use a
deep saucepan that fits the element
as it will boil up twice its volume.
1.2. Keep testing the mixture as
it may jell in 10 to 15 minutes. Lift
a spoonful and allow it to drip
slowly from edge of spoon. The
jellying stage is when two drops
tend to pull together. Remove
from heat at once. Let stand one
minute. Skim and pour into ster-
ilized jelly glasses.
13. Cover with a thin layer of
melted paraffin after the jelly is
set. Label and store in a cool
place.
