WAR-TIME FARM EFFORTS CALL BETTER SEEDI Better Seed means heavier yields of improved grain without increasing acreage says Ont. Dept, of Agri culture in opening patriotic drive for increased production of cereal grains in 1940 — Good seed grain plentiful. of the many strange. little ways in which married people grow to know each other. How by little personal signals, looks jand expressions, they know ex actly how they feel about certain things and people. The danger signals that flash when the conversation treads on dangerous ground. Of course the most Expressive of ail is the little kick under the table, For instance, we were dining out last night. There were a few rounds of applejack that would dp credit to a Kentucky moonshiner ... and then we went in to supper. t Like all men I suppose my tongue started wagging just a trifle too free ly, Whamm! My but a hard heel can administer a stinging blow to a poor defenseless ankle or hsinbone. I choked over a mouthful of food and answered the questioning glances that were thrown in my direction by coughing. But forgetting discretion, I went ahead and started in to tell of some of the wife’s relations. Boy . . anoth er smashing blow on the shins. Half way into, the story I had to stumble around and taper off my story by tell ing about the price of wheat in Chi cago. I suppose they thought it was the applejack. Little did they realize that it was the foul blow on the shins that had caused it. Going in to the parlour I managed to get far enough away that I was out of range of the hard heels. But it did not make any difference. It just seem ed as if I could never start one of those stories about our folks without glancing up and catching the danger signal in Mrs. Phil’s eyes . . a gleam ing, little look with a slightly wrink led nose. My, but that expression conveys a multitude of words without her saying anything at all. When the danger look failed there was always the little .cough. That sudden, little hacking that seemed so natural to everyone but me. But there it was , . just like a red light sudden ly looming up to tell there’s danger ahead. Sometimes I managed to bluff through it . . . but’ after a few words I seemed to lose heart and let the con versation slip from me and into safer channels. And last night was only an indica tion of the many times that such a thing occurs. I’ll always remember an elderly friend of mine saying that af ter so many years, some strange pow er seems to make two people think alike on many subjects. Maybe you’ve noticed it yourself! Sitting in the parlour or kitchen, perhaps reading . . you on one side . . your wife on the other. Everything’s quiet . , the children in bed . . and you’re quite engrossed in your news paper or book. Then suddenly you look up and start to say something and at the same moment your wife looks up and starts to tell you the ex act same thing. What is it that makes you do that? Well, I’ve never been able to fathom that. . and what makes it even more strange is the fact that you’ll start to talk about somebody that you haven’t thought about for ages. The strange ways in which people who are married grow together may be embarassing at moments . . such as when you feel that hard shoe ag ainst your ankle but nevertheless it saves you many embarassing moments later on. You can generally count on your wife being right about what you are starting to say , . should be left unsaid. Life is filled with many of those un accountable, little things such as the ones I have mentioned. Perhaps some day a man will explain them to us in detail. However now as it stands , . we just let them go by, wonder a lit tle about them at the time . . and the times when we got clanked on the shins we dismiss as being the result of superior judgment on the part of the womenfolks. BY BETTY BARCLAY ' What winter fruits lack in variety they more than make up for in universal appeal and availability. Everyone likes oranges and apples; everyone can have them as Nature is generous with these fruits which are packed with health as well as flavor. ' There’s no better way to serve apples or oranges than just as they come from the tree — or in juice form for oranges, but there are many ways of cooking them which will be different and delight the family. For instance, these large California Navel oranges which ripen just in • time for the holidays and can be had all winter are grand when seasoned a bit and baked to serve hot with meat — especially with goose, duck, pork or ham. •* Many variations in cooked oranges to accompany the meat course > have been originated by Californians — perhaps because California Navels, seedless and flrmer-meated than most varieties, usually grow . to a larger size than other oranges and are therefore easier to work > with.For the Baked Spiced Oranges pictured, choose large or medium*^ sized fruit, one orange for every two persons.
