WARTIME CANNING
This year our fruit canning will
vary from prewar days.; Previously
if one or two jars of fruit had to be
thrown out it didn't matter, but now
all fruit canned must be properly steri-
lized so it will keep. It is vitally
urgent to prevent wastage.
The government has given us sever-
al pointS this year as an aid in our
eanningi•
I. Do not use the open kettle
method for canning fruits. This re-
quires more sugar than the h8t or
cold pack methods, because we count-
ed on the sugar to help keep the fruit.
There is a much, greater chance for
re-contimination 'as everything is, ex-
posed to the air after being sterilized,

will make a perfect seal. They should
be dipped in boiling water but not left

Succulent green feed is relished by
chickens of all ages. For young
chicks raised in confinement green

PICNICS ON THE LAWN
Hello Homemakers! Laughter ...
sparkle ... Colour! There's no busier
time for those little folks than picnic
time. And there's no greater relax-
ation for busy workers who realize
that by strenuous labour and concen-
trated-efforts we can help to secure
serenity and freedom from tyranny.
Balmy weather brings vagrant wish-
es for a cottage by the lake.' How-
ever, there's a shortage of gasoline and
tires and all of us have duties to do,
often with no one to take our places.
So why not make friends with the
home town park or even enjoy your
own lawn where there will be no worry
about forgetting the most important
item of lunch (which is often the one
thing left behind).
As you probably know, "carting"
the lunch out of doors takes time and
effort — if you make a big spread.
The scheme is, therefore, to plan a
!simple lunch — considering the food
to be carried and the dishes required.
No need to make it a foot-aching job.
SUGGESTIONS
1. Sandwiches—of course save on
the dishes. Fillings include meat, fish,
cheese, eggs and raw vegetables,
geat, now rationed, may be stretch-
ed out in sandwiches and it may be
combined with relishes or salad dress-
ings to give zest. Cottage cream
-cheese Of old cheese (ground) may be
combined with chopped crisp greens,
grated raw carrot or chopped figs.
Cooked, flaked fish is good mixed
with minced celery or cress. Shred-
ded raw vegetable will now be an inu-
portant — green onions, cucum-
bers, tomatoes, spinach, radishes, etc,
For savoury — parsley, beet tops,
nasturtium leaves, cress, endive, mint.
Vary the bread — use enriched
Pour, whole wheat, cracked wheat,
Oatmeal, tea biscuits,' muffins, or
seones.
Stretch the butter --- beat with milk
and chill well,
2, A salad bowl is always attrat-
tive, Do not forget the salt and pepper
shakers, In the bowl place small
whole tomatoes, green onions, celery,
carrot sticks, lathed wedges, pieces of
cheese, hard-cooked eggs, eta, Or a
tasty potato salad, tossed shredded
greens,. fruit salad, etc. And cheese
sticks, salted crackers go well with
salads, ,
beets (and, or) mangel murtzels and
dwarf Essex rape.
Swiss chard and dwarf Essex rape
can be cut continually and new growth
will come on. If both the chard and
rape are protected with some straw
when early frosts come, both will con-
tinue to yield green feed for the chick-
ens until late in the fall.
The Scotch kale will give greens
until late in December, as it is not
injured by frost. During the winter
the hens will enjoy cabbage, red beets
and mangel wurtzels. One large
head of cabbage per week for 25 hens
is riot too much. The amount of
succulent green feed given to chickens
should be limited, however, so as not
to interfere with their normal con-
sumption of mash and grain.
3. To top off the picnic lunch, take
out favourite cookies — oatmeal,
ginger or fig-layer, and of generous
size—everybody will love 'em.
Tarts made with fruit filling or
even a firm cream filling are more
satisfying if a top crust is put on.
Cakes baked in muffin tins are easy
to handle—plain ones, flavoured, are
economical — because I wouldn't be
surprised if the neighbour's kiddies
join you. Other accoemaniments for
desserts are: graham wafers, hermits,
doughnuts, fig bars, etc.
4. Fruit in season or custard cups
filled with the kind of mixture to bal-
ance the meal. For instance, if you've
included lots of greens, serve a baked
custard. If you've included lots of
meat sandwiches, jell some fruit.
5. The problem of, thirst may he
solved by taking along milk, chocolate
milk, tomato juice, fruit juices or
lemon, iced coffee.
Follow Canada's Official Food Rules
and include one from each of the
above groups.

HOW TO CONTROL
POTATO BEETLES.
Potato beetles are usually found in
the field even before the new potato
crop is above ground. They lay their
eggs on the undersides of the leaves,
and when a number of the yellow egg
masses have hatched, it is time to,
commence' spraying and dusting- oper-
ations ,at. once. The best and cheapest
poison to use is calcium arsenate,
states the ,Division of Entomology,
Dominion Department of Agriculture.
It is used at the rate of 1% to 2 lbs,
in 40 gallons of flordeau mixture
(copper sulphate 4 lb.; lime 4 lb.;
water 40 gallons). If the poison is
used alone in water, add two to three
pounds of hydrated lim e to each 40
gallons. Should arsenate of lead or
Paris green be preferred as a poison,
two to three pounds of the arsenate 'or
one-half to one pound of the Paris
green may be substituted for each 40
gallon barrel of spray. ,
Growers who prefer the poison in
powder forni should use a dust corn-
posed of one part of calcium arsenate
to eight parts of hydrated lime, In
dustirig, best results will be obtained
if the application is made in the early
morning or late evening, when the
vines are wet with dew and the air
calm,
Tri spraying potatoes, the poison
should always be mixed with Bor-
deaux because the Bordeaux is not
only a poison but repels, attacks of
other destructive insects, such as flea,
beetles and leafhoppers; Two or
three applications in a season should
give sufficient protection from all in-
sects, when applied thoroughly,,and at
a time when the new damage becomes
evident in each case. In spraying,
cover both the upper and the lower
surfaces of the leaves and use an
abundance of material, When the
plants are small, 50 to 70 gallons per
acre and when the plants are fully
grown, 100 to 120 gallons per acre
is not too much at each application.
