Meat Rationing
Canada's proposed second meat
rationing program has a diff rent
reason for existence than did the
first program, according to informa-
tion received, et the Western Ontario
regional office of the Board. The
first plan was undertaken "primarily
to assume an equitable distribution
of supplies." ' The second plan is
being initiated, "primarily tp reduce
domes i consumption in order to
meed tete hungry of Europe."
That E.rope is hungry i; eviden-
ced by statistics ma'•e 'available to
Lead :representatives, Eferring to
France it was st te 1 that the meat
shortage is now worse that at any
time inthe cities. In 1939 the per
capita consumption was 96 pounds
ler 1•er•son, in, 1944-45 it was 17
pounds. The ration at present is one-
tenth . of a pound' per week an
amount equal to one thin Bike of
boiled ham.
Meat br:ngs $ t0 a pound on" the
black markets. Under Nazi occu-
pation Fran'e lost two mils ion head:
of cattle, and the consumption of
meat' has d•opped from pre-war
levels ' as follows -beef and mutton
'from 117 000 tons to 5,000 tons,
pork from 45;000 to 16,000 tons, fish
from 51,000' to 21,000 tons, poultry
from 22,000 to :less than 2,000.

Red Cross -Nutrition News
Good old`meat and potatoes pa k a
lot of nourishment into a meal to
say nothing of the satisfaction they
bestow. "raters, spuds, or murphie3,
whichever ` yeti prefer,: th•ugh of
ancient and honorable nnage,• spent
their early life as companions of 'the
poor. Today, 'however, the hidden
`food values tucked under their brown
jackets and their unbeatrble meal
' appeal has made them a mainstay
of rich and poor alike. -
A dinner avithout potatoes seems
-strange'y incomplete and to 'ay the
experts recommend that they be
eaten' oncea day, (when you can
get 'enc). In addition to their p•enti
fel store of vitamin C, they harbor
some of the B vitam'n', iron, other
importgnt minerals are starch.
Weigh -watchers will approve the.
fact that one medium sized potato
furnishes about 100 calories—no
more .than an apple or banana, and
only half the calories of a indium-
sized pie -e of Pie. It's what goes on
the pbtato, the gravy, butter, etc.,
that stacks up the calories.
Potatoes are simple to prepare for.
they I'ke to keep .t"eir jackets on
while tookinr. Baked or boiled in
their shins, they retain nearly all
their• vitam'ns and minera's as
co -tabled in the raw state. So start
with potatoes poile.l in their jackets,
whether you serve them mashed,
creamed, in salads er soups. If you
must peel their for scalloped dishes,
don't let them soak in water for
hours ahead.
Since potatoes are a year round
vegetable, and at the top: of the
bitghen, priority list, the .alert house-
wife is ever on the lookout for novel
recipe finds. Perhaps this one will
fill the bill. Yver tried potatoes this
way?

Five New Varieties of
Raspberries by Experimen-
tal Farms
Among the many contributions to
the fruit growing industry of Can-
ada, made by the scientists of the
Hort'cultui•al Division, Dominion
Experimental Farms Service, in pro-
ducing new fruits to suit the c'i-
nratie corditions in Canada, there
are five notable new varieties of
raspberries which have •been proving
their worth since their introduction
two years ago. These are Gatineau,
Madawaska, Ottawa, Rideau, and
Trent. Gatineau and Trent were
introduced because of their earliness
says Dr. A. W. S. Hunter of the
Division of Horticulture, and -Mada-
waslca because of its fine canning
quality. Winter har•diiees, and earli-
r ees. The variety was first intro-
duced as a canning berry, .but .since:
its introduction. it has appeared to
be so good in every respect that it
may become the leader of the
Ottawa varieties, It does not become
dull and unattractive like some dark
varieties when offered as fresh fruit.
Gatineau is the earlist ripening
variety grown in Ottawa, and has
been rated highly. as an early berry
in ; Ontario—in the Ottawa and
Niagara districts where itsearliness
has outweighed its tendency to
crumble a little. Outside Ontario,
where earliness is not so important,
its • dark colour and not too firm
fruit have been :against it.
Trent, although two or three days
later than Gatineau,.produces a good
crop inthe first week -of : the rasp-
berry season. Because of its earli-
ness, attractive appearance and win
ter hardiness it has shown up well in
all parts of Canada. It also
appears to be very' resistant to
mosaic, a plant disease .which is an
iss portant feature. . '

Inquiries for Cnadian field crop
and vegeta'bl'e seeds have come fromalmost every country' of Europe, andsince V. E. day the offie of the
Plant Protection Diviion, Dominion
Department of Agriculture has .been
receiving requests from sveral parts
of the world for Canadian CertifiedSeed potatoes. By intensive work,
Canadian scientists have improved
the quality of most of the imported
seeds, so that to -day Canada,.merly a minor factor. in vegetable
seed production,s. is an important
producer of virile seed.
In the demand for potato seed,
history', is repeating itself. LouiXVI of France (1754-1793) offered a
prize to any subject who could find
a crop that would produce large
quantities of food on a small ares.muneA man named Parment'er neforward with the potato anddemon-
strated the huge quantities of food
ould be produced from one are.From the 1944 crop, Canada
exported about three and. one-half
million bushels • of certified seed to
the United States, Uruguay, South
Africa, Guba, Venezuela, Bermuda,
West Indies, ` Frarce, Dominican
Republic, Newfoundland and even to
Iceland. Most of the • Canadian
certified seed potatoes exported aregrown in the Maritime •provinces.
