Hudson's produce store. Recently she received the following. letters Prom England.. Dear Mrs. Grummett—I thought you may like to know that the egg you put your name and address on has come to Newcastle upon Tyne, England.

Well, I think this is " all just now excepting to wish Mr. Grum- nett and yourself all the very best in the coming year, from my hus- band and myself, and Joyce and Derek. From yours sincerely, Nora Gibson. P.S. I forgot to tell you that my age is 44. so there are not a great lot of years difference between us. My husband is 46, but a very "young" 46. He keeps us all lively with his boisterous ways. It has just come over the wireless, today is' the last day for letters by air for Cana- da and Derek wants you to have your greetings by Xmas, so we are sending them by air mail. and he wants •(up to now) to be a chemist. Dad and I were delighted they have done so well as a good education is 'a grand start in life for ttrem. You ask if we are still ration- ed, well, actually we are worse off than during. the war because since the war finished we have had flour. and potatoes put on the ration and our bacon and fats halved, and that I must tell you was small enough,, We manage alright and keep sur- prisingly well but the food is very monotonous and we housewives have quite a worry to get meals for our families. The actual rations for one person' per week are 2 oz tea, 8 oz, sugar; 4 oz margarine, 1 oz lard or cooking fats. 1 oz bacon, 2 oz cheese, meat, about 34 ib. per- haps 1 egg. Also for a month's ra- tion we get 1 lb jam, 10 oz soap. We also get 24 points monthly to spend USE BEST RAMS in other or tinned goods but these FOR BEST RETURNS need careful allocation.

CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCKS Freezing For Home Vegetables, Fruits The popularity of frozen fruits • and vegetables has been increasing at a sapid pace recently. Housewives in particular . and the consuming public in general are realizing the many advantages of these products, both from the standpoint of ease of preparation and the ,ultimate palaf- ability, 'says W. R. Phillips, Division of Horticulture, Central, Experi- mental Farm, Ottawa. As with many processes which are new, many er- rors are being made which lead to disappointment in the taste and quality of the frozen fruits or vege- tables. Many of the" errors frequently, noted are easy' to correct. Delays be- tween harvest and freezing result in loss of much of the fresh aromatic flavours associated with freshness. The ideal procedure is to commence the ,processing as soon as the fruit and vegetables are harvested. Vegetables and some fruits, should be ]blanched before freezing, which is done by .placing the product in boiling water or a steam cabinet for a short time, The purpose is to arrest chemical reactions, often re- ferred to as enzymatic activity, which will cause taints or off-fla-. yours. The choice of package for frozen produce is important. Rectangular packages, with the contents cleanly marked, permit a convenient ar- rangement in the locker with a min— imum of space. The package should also prevent the material from dry- ing out. For this purpose, heavily waxed cellophane or rubber mater- ' ials are very satisfactory. A well sealed glass container is good but is liable to break with freezing. SPARE THE SNOWY OWL One of the most beautiful of all Canadian owls is the big Snowy Owl, which periodically invades agricul- tural Canada from its Arctic breed- ing -grounds. In summer, these owls subsist largely on Lemmings, small Arctic rodents. The Lemmings fluctuate in numbers from year to year and seem to be cyclic, reaching population "peaks" about every fourth winter. With the "crash" of the Lem- mings, the Snowy Owls desert their arctic home and migrate down into southern Canada and 'the northern United States, spending the winter in the marshes, along the shores, and in the farming country. During some flights, particularly last winter, large numbers of these big predators spread themselves over the settled parts of Canada and the northern 'United States. Many were shot by thoughtless persons, forget- ting, or not knowing. that an exam- ination of their food in southern Ontario, made at the Royal Ontario Museum last winter, revealed it to be 98% rodents—rats and mice, mostly— among the worst enemies with which the farmer has to con- tend. Although ,powerful enough to carry off poultry and ducks, the Snowy Owls seldom exhibit the nec- essary inclination or agility to g after that type of food. A flight of minor proportions (compared with the heavy influx last year) Inas again reached south- ern Canada, and levelers and sports- men would do themselves a favour by allowing the Snowy Owls to spend the winter with us unmolest- ed for they constitute one of the best checks we have nn the undue increase of „the bated "field mouse." WORLD SHORTAGE MIXED FERTILIZERS One of the several legacies of the war is a world shortage of fertiliz- er materials. A 'phenomenal demand for commercial fertilizers—the larg- est in world history—has arisen at a time when production of nitrogen, phosphate, potash and the so-called minorelements, is at a low ebb in a number of producing countries. The reasons for the demand are many r a growing realization of the value of commercial fertilizer in many countries; the need in others to fertilize soil which deteriorated during the war: the reduction of live stock in some countries which limits 'the use of barnyard manure; and perhaps the most important the necessity in the least fortunate countries of improving soil fertility to increase the production of essen- tial foodstuffs beyond a here sub- sistance level. The inadequate production has arisen from a number . of causes, most of them associated with the war. World production • .of " phosphate and potash is still below require- ments, but these chemicals are more nearly in balance with demand, or show some prospect of coning into balance. However, there is little to indicate thatatotal world nitrogen production will rise in the immedi-. 'te future, even though production. insome countries may improve. 'a little. On the other. 'hand it appears liltely that world demand for 'nitro- gen will increase.
