Mint Sauce
There are 40 different species
of mint but only three are of
culinary interest. Two growl
well in Goderich but the third 1
has not been, tried by the
Thumb. The best known species I i
is Mentha Spicata, the spear- .i
mint so dearly beloved of Wrig-
ley. Who would have thought s
that the lowly mint would -have
financed a ball park in Chicago?
Spicata is equally revered by the
eaters of lamb for the sauce it
snakPss . Less`-, ° well-known!;.. it
Mentha R,otundifolio, alias apple
mint, yet by those who grow it,
considered superior to spicata.
The stems and rounded leaves
are felted with down and when
-bruised or otherwise annoyed,
they give off a pleasant frag-
rance which is both fruity and
aromatic. Apple mint is espec-
ially useful for drying and stor-
ing for winter use, Whole stems
with leaves should be gathered
when they are about to come
into bloom." Bunches should then
be hung in a dry, airy place. Of

Its only rival or superior at
burrowing being lily of the val-
ley. Apple mint is not quite so
menacing to its bedfellows. It
is comparatively genteel. For
those who have still to meet
apple mint, efforts will be made
to offer some plants at our Auc-
tion in May. There is a third
species which is good to have
in the garden as ground cover.
This is Mentha Requienii,-which
carpets the ground like a coat
of emerald paint. In summer
t produces a rash of tiny, stem-
ess lilac -purple flowers . and can
be used on the side of a path,
n the rock garden or.in the
nterstices of. crazy paving.
When bruised it gives off the
cent of peppermint.

eeping Or Better
Salesmanship For Dail? Farmers?
(By J. C. Hemingway) a
Farm 'Management gets'Prior- d
sty in New Government Exten-
sion Policy! This was a head-
line in one of our County week-
lies. In the article that follow-
ed, Mr. Goodfellow pointed out
the need for better, bookkeep-
ing and more business -like man-
agement of the- farm operation.
This policy is 'apparently to re-
place the former policy of solv-
ing the farmers' problem by
making two blades of grass grow
in the place formerly taken by
one. This new .brand of farm
efficiency is apparently beingst
accepted by moof our agricul-
tural representatives to mean a
lowering of costs of production
smaller shag; of consumers'
ollar than in any other- com-
parable country); (2) The need
to. make room] in the markets
for greater supplies. (Note: In
Canada, from many of the meet-
ings I have attended recently,
it seems"a
that we re dedicated
to a policy of reduced produc-
tion in spite of the fact that
dietitions tell us that the aver-
age'diet in both the upper arid
lower income brackets is not
adequate); (3) To maintain and
guard the existing markets. •
Emphasis will be on the fluid
market and for this the Board's
television campaign will be
about 600,000 'pounds. The use
of vending machines will be in -
eased to make milk more
vailable. At this time last year
ere were 1700 vending ma-
ines in operation; by the end
this year, there will be 4,000,
ich means some eight million
lions a year more milk sales.
The Board has 20 mobile bars
d during the past season these
iry bars were at 1,200 out -
or events such as air displays,
icultural fairs, flower shows,
(Note;, There was only one
r ` which I attended in the
unty last fai, lthat had dairy
ducts readily available.)
dditional efforts will also be
ced on increasing sales at
the doorstep. ' Sales drives' this
year have included over 10,000
milk salesmen serving three milr
lion homes. These drives" reg-
ularly increase milk sales ,by
