MORE •CANNIOVG—LESS SUGAR
Hello Hamemraticersi! Although, ad-
ditional sugar .is !being providedfor
canning, still ,there won't be the
generous amount needed to sweeten
sour cherries or to .make Grandma's
rich jeans. However, we're better
without too much Alit food.
With adequate equipment, fruit
may be canned without sugar. Bet
:sugar helps, to preserve fruits, ,so it
you intend to do without it do pay
spacial ,attention, to oh'oaging good
quality fruit and to sterilisation.
For thes method, we recommend
only raspberries, bluelberries, cue
manes, plums and rhubarb. After
packing you' trait In jars, crash
until the juice -overflows or cover
with boiling water. Then, adjust
toirsi and. process .in oven, ar water
thath, allowing 5 miniutes longer
ilhan usual cooking period.
Ono advantage of canning your
fruits with :same sugar is that tyle
sugar helps fruit keep its colour.
shape and flavour. A thin syrup
made by boiling 3 cops of sugar in
6 daps of water for 1 minute yields
7 cops — enough to fill 7 quarts of
small fruit,
There ere alternatives to sugar:
honey for jams but not for straw-
berries, naspbernies, or cherries;
'Dorn syrup, used in the proportion
of half sugar and half !syrup for
shoalI amounts of jam and jellies,
increasing the emoun.t of sugar
when canning our fruit.
SYRUP FOR FRUITS
IN WARTIME
For sweet Bruit — 1 cup sugar to
3 eu:ps water. For mild fruit — 1
,cup sugar to 2 cups water. Stir until
dissolved and bring ,to boiling point.
e` Quantity of Syrup required
For large fruits — allow approxi -
ental, 1 cup syrup per pint jar.
For small fruits — allow approx-
m,ately it cup :syrup per :print jar.
Substitutes for Sugar
White Corn !Syrup — sulrstLtute
1% cups corn syrup for eadh cup
.sugar. 'Honey — ordinarily 1 cup
bore, equals 1 cup sugar.
Time and Temperature for Fruit
Electric over at 300 degrees for
30 mars, for 8 to 12 pint jars, using
only bottom element: switch on and
shelf adjusted 4" front ,bottom ele-
ment.
Holt water hath at boiling point for
15.20 !nine. for S to 12 Pint jells.
TAKE A TIP
1, New robber sealer rings .are
cheaper than: the loss of a single
jar of canned fruit but try to
safNa.ge last year's robber mings•.
To test: first bend double, a use-
less ring will crank; stretch lgOet-
' ly. a good ring will spring back
to original size.
2. Fee rubber Sings to suit your
jans, i.e., marrow rubbers, fit screw
tops and wide ones fit spniueg tops.
1. Test jars and tops for eannling;
flld lam with water, adjust rubber,
seal. then turn upside down to
teed for leakage
4. When earning vegetables by
water bath, or oven method. it is
never desbable ho nee jans danger

CHAMPION PLOWMEN
TAKE TRIP BY PLANE
The Salads Ten. Company's Championship class at the Inter-
national Plowing Match held near Peterborough last Pall brought
together top rank horse plowmen from all parts of the Province.
Elmer Armstrong of St. Pouts (right), Gold Medallist, and Marshall
Deans, Paris (left), Silver Medallist, accompanied by W. C. Barrie
of Galt, are seen ready to board a plane commencing the valu-
able trip that watt offered as first and second prizes. Time being
an important factor to agriculturalists, they elected to travel by
air and within nine days they visited such points as Winnipeg
Portage Ln Prairie, Regina, Vancouver and Lethbridge. One of
the highlights of their journey was the stop off at Portage Le
Prairie where they participated in the Manitoba Provincial Plow-
ing Match, June 241h.
At experimental stations they visited and at meetings they
attended, they were afforded the opportunity of exchanging and
studying new ideas, particularly labour-saving devices and other
aids to greater efficiency on the farm. The trip was arranged by
Mr. J. A. Carroll, Manager of the Ontario Plowmen's Association.
Plowing Matches which are conducted by local branches
throughout the country, play an important pun in the production
of food for war, for they encourage the better/ plowing' and
cultivation of the land sr' essential for maximum production.

Only One Spider
There are many different species
of spiders found in the garden or in
the field and around bniiddngs, says
Alan G. Duetan, Entomological Divi-

size, and appearance, but there is
only one poisonous spider in Canada,
the black widow found In, Alberta,
The black widow le a shiny, coal -

gions but they do not :survive in, the
Canadian climate.
Practically all sp'idene in, Canada
are perfectly bainnlless, and as a
matter of fact are beneficial rather
than harmful beoause they destroy
insects, in large numbers. Their webs
may become a nuisance, and often

French River and Devil's Gap Highlight Ontario Holidays
One of the surest ways of main
taining a proper perspective
of things is to take temporary
leave of the cares of a troubled
world and get back to nature for
a while ... a trend that should
be particularly popular this sum-
mer at French River Bungalow
Camp, near Georgian Bay and
Devil's Gap Lodge on the Lake of
the Woods, where all the com-
forts of a 'metropolitan hotel are
combined with the freedom and
informality of the great outdoors.
Located in the heart of On-
tario's loveliest lake and forest
country, yet conveniently served
by Canadian Pacific Railway
lines, both resorts offer such pop-
ular vacation );Pursuits as fishing
and that includes matching
wits with the giant nsnsealunge----
hunting, canoeing, yachting, bath-
ing and hilditgrAnth the coat'rattl-
ing "city" delights of golfing,
tennis, and dancing,in a setting
that might well be a hundred
miles from nowhere.
Consisting of attractive, .elec-
trically -equipped cabins and cen-
tral community lodge, French
River Bungalow 'Camp 1s one of
the few resorts in the world
where bigame flailing can be
enjoyed within earshot of the
whack of a golf club. This mira-
cle was achieved by carving a
sporty nine -hole course from the
woods surrounding nearby Dry
Pine Bay, where golfers move-
ments are ffequently studied
through the wide eyes of a wild
deer.
Fashioned along similar lines,
Devil's Gap Lodge an exhilarating
boat ride from Lodge,
station,
provides unlimited opportunities
for the itumnler sportsman or
vacationist whether his tastes
run to stalking "muskies", pick-
erel, bass or trout, or simply ac-
quiring a golden tan from a div-
ing -float or lazily drifting canoe.
Excellent boating facilities are
maintained by the Lodge where
guests have access to a nine -hole
golf course and fine tennis courts.
Fishing is a major attraction
at French River Bungalow Camp
and Devil's Gap Lodge, handsome
trophies being awarded for the
largest musealunge, bass and
pickerel fished from their respec-
tive waters. Guides, boats, tackle
and bait are also maintained for
the guests' convenience.
