The potato patch always is a spec
ial tract of land. Sandy , , yes . just
enough to keep the potatoes clean and
easy to cultivate . - , loamy . , yes .
so that enough of the goodness of
fresh, sweet soil can be mingled with
the bursting sprouts to grow into
plump, well formed potatoes.
Perhaps the feel of the potato snag
recalls my own father who1 often con
fessed , , , “When things were hard
to figure out, I hoed the potatoes,*’1
’Yes, it’s true! When the heat of un
reasoning, human anger surges up

problems come along to pester you . »
when the going gets hard, there’s no
thing like a session in the potato
patch. Perhaps your hoe at first will
swing a little too hard . . nip too far
into the ground or slash an uneven
stroke, but gradually it will come into
the proper way. And then as the
weeds are nipped at the ground level
... so goes the weeds from your
mind . . . and the energy of temper
serves to a useful purpose in hoeing
the potato patch . . and before you
realize it things appear to be back in
their proper proportions again.

Call, A Vegetable I am going to try
this year, brought an interesting res
ponse, proving there are many excel
lent vegetables which are not com
monly used in this district. iMrs, J. J.
Allen, who was recently a delegate to
the Horticulture Society for the prov

a splendid account of the convention
bringing out many points of interest
and profit for those planning flower
gardens..
Mrs. E. Williams, of Fordwich, was
present and gave a very seasonable
demonstration on “Salad Making".
Mrs. Williams gave a short talk on*
the value of Salads in the Diet, and
exhibited a most attractive vegetable
and fruit combination, also a Tomato
Salad. The speaker gave hints on Sal
ad Dressings, giving her own recipes
and made several individual salads,
showing the attractive color combin
ations which could be made by color
ing the Salad Dressings. Mrs. Van
Velsor and Mrs. J. J. Allen expressed
the thanks of the members to Mrs.
Williams, who on several occasions,
has made fine contributions to the lo

There’s something earthy about po

in the soil.
A sprouted potato makes me think
of the chocolate brown of the furrows
. . . of the new cut potatoes ... of
bare feet with moist, soft earth
squeezing up between the toes . . and
of the rhythmic dropping of the slices
of potato . . each with its vital eyes
that would branch out and then nudg-'
ing up through the earth . . and grad-
ually develop as the days ticked ofi
into a lusty, green bush . . to carry on
the rotation of seed to seed.
Perhaps it recallsf too, the thoughts
of a grandfather ... a hardy, pioneer

delight as he mashed a plateful of the
mealy wonders and say . . “God gave
us many wonderful things, but faith,
the greatest of all His blessings was
the potato.”

that’s taken with the crop. It recalls

“POTATO SPROUTS”
There’s something about potato
sprouts that seems to usher in the
Spring season for me. I can’t quite
fathom what it is, but every time I
see potatoes with those snarly snags
projecting from their sides I know it’s
Spring.
Quite by chance when I was com
ing out from dinner today I noticed a
pan fitted with potatoes sitting in the
back kitchen. On several of the po
tatoes there were these rough, (pink
ish shags shooting out like horns from
eyes . . and absent-mindedly I plucked
one and fondled it in my hand on the
way to the barn.
I noticed then for the’first time
the softness* of the south wind,
whooshing gently up the hollow and,
tunning velvety-like over my cheek'.

As announced by the Minister of Finance, the Foreign Exchange Acquisi
tion Order, 1940, has been enacted by Order-in-Council under the authority
of the War Measures Act.
Unless exempted by the Order, every president of Canada who, on May
1st, 1940, has any foreign currency in his possession, ownership or control,
whether in Canada or outside Canada, is required forthwith to sell such
foreign currency to. an Authorized Dealer (i.e. a branch of a chartered
bank) for payment in Canadian dollars at the official buying rate of the
Foreign Exchange Control Board.
. "Foreign currency”, for the purposes of the Order, means any cur
rency (excluding coin) other than Canadian 'currency and includes bank
notes, postal notes, money orders, cheques, travellers’ cheques, prepaid let
ters of credit, bank drafts and other similar instruments payable in any
currency other than Canadian currency, and also includes any amount in
foreign currency of which a resident has a right to obtain payment by rea
son of a deposit, credit or balance of any kind at or with a bank, savings
bank, trust company, loan company, stockbroker, investment dealer or
other similar depository.
The Order does not require the sale of any foreign securities.
The Order does not affect any foreign currency, deposit or securities
of any non-resident of Canada and for greater certainty the Order ex
pressly declares that a non-resident visiting Canada for business or pleas
ure for a period or periods not exceeding six months in the year continues
to be a non-resident for the purposes of the Order unless such person
enters or has entered Canada with the intention of becoming a permanent
No resident is required to sell any foreign currency if he satisfies
the Foreign Exchange Control Board that he held such foreign currency
on May 1st, 1940, solely as trustee or agent for a non-resident and that
the non-resident’s interest therein had not been acquired from a resident
since September 15th, 1939, except in a manner approved by the Board.
Under certain conditions stipulated in Section 1 (b) of the Order,
a resident who is not a Canadian citizen may be granted exemption, but
only after application for exemption is approved by the Board.
No life insurance company incorporated in Canada is required by the
Order to sell any foreign currency which it needs for the purpose of carry
ing on its business outside Canada. *
Further particulars may be obtained from branches of chartered
banks. Any resident who has any foreign currency in his possession,
ownership or control on May 1st, 1940, regardless of amount, should con-
O1jce in order to ascertain the extent to which he is
affected by the Order.
