FRUIT CROP VALUES
SHW 1941 INCREASE
Vineyards Close Second To Apple Orchards In Dollar Value
A preliminary estimate of pro-
duction and value of the fruit
crops" in Ontario for 1941 just
made available by the Ontario De-
partment of Agriculture, discloses
that apples again led in value of
production, with $1,242,076.04.
This was a decrease of $62,624.96
from the 1940 apple crop value.
The quantity of apples produced
last year was 614,871 compared
with 783,000 bushels in 1940.
Grapes were again in second
place in dollar value with a pro-
duction of 22,500 tons valued at
$1,189,294.71. Although the ton-
nage of grapes grown was less by
2,450 tons, there was an increase
,in income return to the grape
growers of $265,594.71.
About 70 per cent of the grape
crop is purchased by the wineries
and this increase in commercial
return was largely due to the in-
• crease of $10.00 per ton (from
$40.00 to $50.00) in 1.' a price
paid by the wineries to the grape
growers.
The marketing of the grape
crop is an outstanding instance of

sensible and profitable co-opera-
tion between the grower and the
processor. Each year there is es-
tablished a fixed minimum price
per ton on grapes which must be
paid by the Ontario Wineries to
the Grape Glowers, This price'
is arrived at by mutual agreement
between the Niagara Grape Grow-
ers Association and the. Niagara
Peninsula Growers representing
the. Grape Growers, and the Wine
Producers Association represent
ing Wineries. This price is ap-
proved by the •Liquor Control
13oard of. Ontario.. The Wineries,
therefore, represent an assurance
of profitable return to the Grow-
ers.
Peaches are again in third place
with a crop value of $1,162,-
848.10, This is an increase over
the 1940 crop of $350,448.10.
The quantity of peaches produced
this year was 670,400 bushels, an
increase of 75,400 bushels over
1940.
The 1941 figures compared with
the 1940 figures on the other
fruit crops are as follows:

What Science
Is Doing•
TOPS IN SCIENCE
Ten big science stories and •
achievements of 1941, selected
by Watson Davis, director of Sci-
ence Service, are:
The radio locator of attack-
ing airplanes developed and put
into war use.
The enrichment of white flour
and bread with vitamins and min-
erals.
The "cure" of gray hair in hu-
mans by daily doses of one of the
B vitamins, paraaminobenzoic
acid.
The great aurora of September
18.
The production of more and
larger airplanes for war use.
The development of sulfadia-
zine spray treatment for burns,
Evidence that fowls constitute.
a reservoir for encephalitis or .
• sleeping sickness and that mos-
quitoes carry the virus.
Evidence that infantile paral
ysis may be spread by flies,
Production of magnesium for
airplanes•,.by "mining' . sea water.
Development. and, construction•
of a new type of cargo ship, Sea
Otter II., welded, and powered
with auto engines.
TREE RINGS
Dendrochronology, the science
of reading and charting tree rings
to. determine past weather condi-
tions, etc., has enabled W. S.
Stallings, Jr., of Santa Fe, N.M.;
to date a, pinion pine log taken
from an ancient 'In ian storage
�l at 217
' Is'wnub, '[7taln>
pit near
A.D.,, says Pathfinder. This is
the earliest definite date Assign-
ed to a structure ,in the South-
west. Comparing the log's rings
with the dendrochronological cal-
endar, he found that it flourished
from 91 until it was cut down
in 216 A.D.
TIN PLATE
Sohn S. Nachtxnan, director of
researeh of the Sharon.Steel Cor-
poration, has developed a new
process for electroplating tin on '
steel abode, strip and wire whish
gavel from 40 to 60 11ee cent in
pig tin. The steel material is
first given 'a "flash" coating of
a metal other than tin, where-
upon tin is deposited and bright-
ened by melting it. It is calm-
ed that this tin coating is more
resistant to rusting than hot-
dipped tin plate.
War In Sand,
Jungle And Snow
No war was aver. so literally a
world tear as this, which is fought
in Arctic snows, in desert wastes,
and in equatorial jungles. From
the cold Russian front; which
stretches far beyond the . Arctic
Clrele, the war spreads south to
the Libyan sands, and the steam-
ing, fever -filled Malayan wilder-
ness.
Each zone has its unique prob-
lems and hardships for soldiers,
In the north they freeze, their
guns go out of commission, their
airplanes, are hard to keep in =the
air. Iii• thedesert they struggle
with water shortages and sand-
storms, And ,in the jungle they
must hack their way through elle,
twined tunderbruah. But whatever-
the conditions, man is able . to
.conquer, or, at least, stand up to
them.

Animal Fats .Used
In New Shortening
N e w Blended Shortening
Combination of Meat Fats
and Vegetable Oils
Development of an important
new market for the farmeris in -
Matted by the announcement that
domestic meat fats are now being
utilized in the production of Can-
adian shortenings, .
Greatly increased hog, produc-
tion of fat exports to Great Bri-
tain plight well have created a
problem situation, but for the in-
tervention of shortening manu-
facturers both in eastern and west.
esu Canada. Coupled with the need
to develop a new outlet 'for these
domestic fats, has been the Do-
minion government's import re-
strictions on vegetable oils form -
oily used inlarge quantities for
shortening manufacture, The new
blended shortening, as it is called,
combines Canada's own meat fats
with a proportion of vegetable
oils to produce a product compar-
able in every way with the old
type of shortening made from im-
ported vegetable oils alone.
Dr, H. B. Robinson, eminent Am-
erican nutrition research authority
in recent consultation with the
Dominion Government's erpertr on
the fats and oils -situation said,
"Fats are essential .in the diet.
They supply more than twice the
energy` of other foods. They can
help Canada win the was:"
According to Dr. Edna " Guest,
convenor of the committee on pub -
lie health for the National Coun-
cil of Women, 'and its represent-
ative on the Canadian Council on
Nutrition, "We must have animal
fats in the diet. They are neces-
sary for actual existence. An ade-
quate diet is the key to Britain's
security. With such facts before us
we should search our markets to
see that meat fats are always
procurable. In the new blended
shortening we find thesevery de-
sirable essentials, Such develop-
ments as fortification of flour and
the production'of this new type of
shortening, fusing meat fats as well
as vegetable oils, deserve our
study and serious consideration."
Use of the blended shortening
entails no changes in existing
recipes, It is used in the same
quantities, in the same way, and
with the same results.
Italians Release
Wounded Airmen
Five wounded airmen, mem-
bers of the crew of a British
bomber which crashed within the
defences of Halfaya, were
brought out under a white flag
by an Italian medical officer to
receive attention from South Af-
rican besieging the position.
The officer, who was permit-
ted to pass through the lines un-
molested, said the Italians in
Halfaya lack medical supplies and
it was only humane to bring the
airmen to their friends.
The South Africans .sent the
'Italian back under safe conduct
with a large snpply of surgical
dressings.

We Should Not
Forget The Dutch
They Are GIvlegg Valuable
Ald to Our Side in Battle of
Pacific
We must not overlook a tower
of strength which' is also on our
side in the Pacific and which bas
been inflicting damage on the
enemy in a manner rather to be
expected from the descendants
of those who once ruledthe. seas,
Holland's total fleet, wizen the
country was overrun in 1940, am-
ounted to 120 vessels of various
categories, from battle cruisers to
mine -layers and• patrol boats.
Practically this entire force got
away from the Nazis, but since
then 14 ships have been sunk.
As of last September, 39 Dutch
naval units were operating in
European waters, so that we are
conservative in stating that more
than 50 ships are now in The
Netherlands East Indies service.
And how are they doing? Well,
the toll so far is half a dozen
troopships laden with Japanese
soldiers, a blow to enemy laud
strength, never mind the ships,
which could equal in ultimate
strategical and tactical value as
many battleships.
These are the eons of the men
who chased the bench and the
Spaniards out of Chia very Pa-
cific; the sons, too, of the men
who sailed` up the Thanes and
burned the British fleet right un-
der the nose of all London. —

Indian Fighters
Outwit Japanese
The British Broadcasting Cor-
poration told of messages from
Singapore, praising the "magni-
ficent work" of Indian troops
from the North Malayan front.
One story received, typical of
many, told of how three Indian
soldiers led a Japanese column
into a disastrous trap.
' When the three Indianswere
captured by the Japanese, an in-
terpreter told them they would
be well rewarded if they would
lead the troops to the rear of a
certain British position.
"The Indians pretended to
agree," the broadcast said, "and
were marched in front of a Jap-
anese column with tommy guns
pressed into their backs."
"But instead of leading the en-
emy behind the British lines, the
Indians dauntlessly led them
straight into the line of British
cross fire.
"Flinging themseles to the
ground as the British troops op-
ened fire, they miraculously es-
caped being killed."
The Japanese were either wiped
out or fled in disorder. The In-
dians then identified themselves
and rejoined their unit.
New Income 'Tax
For :Russian People
A war -time income tax affect-
ing most Russians who earn
the equivalent 'of $1 a day or
more became effective January 1,
authorities announced.
Levies range from $25 on sal-
aries of $365 a year to $545 on
those of $4,800. Partial payments
are to be made monthly.
All citizens over 18 except So-
viet army- and navy personnel,
their dependents and -invalids
are liable.
Canada Will Use
Jap Fishing Fleet
Plans have been approved by
the Government fox' putting back
into production the 1,100 vessels
of the British Columbia Japanese
fishing fleet which was immo-
bilized by Government restric-
tions.
The fleet, owned by persons of
Japanese origin, is valued at be-
tween $2,000,000 and $3,000,000.
Some 980 units are impounded
near New Westminster and • the
remainder at Prince Rupert - and
other Pacific ports.
They were impounded when
the Government ruled that fish-
ing by those of Japanese racial
origin would be prohibited in all
Canadian waters, and banning
Japanese from serving on any
fishing vessels.
The production of the Japanese
fishing fleet in British Columbia
contributed largely to the food
supplies of the Empire, it was
said. This led to a Government
decision that action must be taken
at once to get the immobilized
fleet back into operation while
preserving for the Japanese own-
ers their equity in the vessels. "
