HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS
For firmer gelatine salads
and desserts 'in hot weather,
try this idea from Macdonald
Institute, Guelph. Let the gela-
tine set at room temperature
and when it is firm, chill it in
the refrigerator. Then the gela-
tine won't soften as quickly
when you serve it.
* * *
If honey crystallizes in the
jar, try this remedy suggested
by Professor P. W. Burke, of
the O.A.C. Department of Ag-
riculture. Put the jar in a pan
of warm water, no hotter than
your hand can stand, and the
honey will return to a liquid
state.

ment at 40° is good. Heated
basements are too hot for pota-
to storage unless there is a
ventilated storage spot. Higher
temperatures with high humid-
ity will cause shrivelling and
sprouting; lower temperatures
may cause a sweetish flavor
and the potatoes won't cook as
nicely. Store the potatoes in a
darkened place—electric light
or daylight will turn stored pot-
atoes green and bitter.

TIME TO CONTROL LAWN WEEDS
IS IN AUTUMN, EXPERTS SAY
If you've been wondering all
summer what to do about the
weeds in your lawn, now's the
time to get busy.
"The rainfall and cool wea-
ther in the fall make both
grasses and weeds grow more
rapidly—the fastest since May
or June. This is the time to
control dandelions, creeping
Charlie, mouse -eared chick-
weed, black medick, and other
lawn weeds," says Dr. C. M.
Switzer, of the Botany Depart-
ment at the Ontario Agricul-
tural College.

The chemical 2,4-D is still the
cheapest and most readily avail-
able weed -killer and it does an
excellent job of controlling dan-
delions and plantain. However,
black medick, creeping Charlie
and mouse -eared chickweed are
not as readily controllable with
2,4-D as they are with two new -
or chemicals called silvex and
mecoprop (sometimes called
MCPP). These chemicals will
kill clover too.
Silvex, mecoprop, or 2,4-D
can be sprayed on. Take care
that you use enough water to
wet the leaves. Use 1 ounce of
active 2,4-D to 4 gallons of
wa-
ter. This amountwill cover ap-
proximately 2500 square feet.
Apply mecoprop at the rate of
11/2 ounces per 5 gallons of wa-
ter and silvex at 1 ounce per 5
gallons of water.
What are the dangers attach-
ed to these chemicals? Very
similar to 2,4-D. Spray on a
windless day; keep the spray
away from ornamental flowers
and shrubs that might be dam-
aged. Silvex will kill bent -
grass so should not be used on
a lawn containing this speoiga,,-
Mecoprop can be used safely on
most species of turf grass, in-
cluding bentgrass.
TIMELY TIPS
It's a good idea to add some
nitrogen to crop refuse if
you're plowing it under this
fall, says Prof. Ted Heeg, OAC
soil scientist. This will prevent
a nitrogen deficiency in your
soil next year, and still let you
keep up the level of soil or-
ganic matter with crop resi-
dues.
esidues. If you're plowing -down
straw from small grains, put on
11/2 bags of ammonium nitrate
or one bag of urea per acre.
Apply two bags of ammonium
nitrate or 1'4 bags of urea per
acre if corn stalks are plowed
down.
