Hints For Homebodies
Written for The Advance -Times
By
Jessie Allen Brown
Mrs.Anne Anderson Perry has
hieen writing in The Chateline on the
High Cost of Sickness. This is one
of her statements.
"So far, we women as voters have
alone little or nothing to bring kudos
on ourselves or otir franchise in Can-
ada. Here is a job which has cried
vainly for years for our good offices,
On every door -sill of every home, and
vitally affecting every human being
in that home, sit the problems of pub-
lic and private health. It is little to
our coedit that we have not tackled
them vigorously ' and intelligently
long before this. Let us ceaie to treat
health matters as localized issues. Let
us get a national outlook, and with
the help of our brother voters and
the medical experts, let us push on
to a real solution of the "high cost
of illness."
Think that over.
She is very right, when she says
we have done nothing of importance
with our franchise, The women are
the housekeepers' of the nation, and
if the Women's organizations get to-
gether, regardless of party politics,
on questions of national health, we
could be a power in the land. Wo-
men's organizations do a good work,
but I sometimes think we run around
in circles, and with the same expendi-
ture of time, energy and money, we
could accomplish something really
worth doing,
Miss McPhail spoke recently on
Goiter Prevention. I wander if
there was a single Women's organi-
zation that 'gave her support If you
agreed with her,, it would be a sample
matter to pass a resolution to that
effect, and to send it to your pro-
vincial and .federal member. When
most goiter is preventable, it is un-
fortunate that it is so prevalent.
Iodine
Iodine will prevent goiter. It will
not always cure it, but it will prevent
it. Almost all the iodine in our bodies
is present in the thyroid gland, and
if there is not sufficient iodine, 'goit-
er develops. The best way to obtain
iodine is in our foods, but it is not
always possibleto obtain sufficient
in that manner. Iodine is present in
variable quantities in the soil and in
the water. If sufficient iodine is there
enough will be in the fruits, vegetab-
les, and water, to prevent goiter, but
if it isnot in the soil, it cannot be
in the foods grown out of it.
All salt water growth, whether ani-
mal or vegetable, contains consider-
able iodine. Consequently there is no
goiter problem in lands near the sea.
Goiter Prevention
Iodine will prevent goiter, but it
will not always cure it. Iodine is a
dangerous drug, and never should be
used unless under a doctor's direction,
In the so-called "goiter belts," iodine
has been given to school children with
excellent results. Sometimes it is
given in tablet form, and sometimes
added to water. But never should it
be given indiscriminately. The Pro-
vincial Governments have done a cer-
tain amount of work along this line,
but there is still work to be done,
and it is up to the women of the
country to see that goiter is prevent-
ed.
Other Uses of Iodine
Iodine has other uses in the body
beside preventing goiter. It is most
necessary for expectant mothers, be-
cause at that time there is a tendency
towards goiter. Then too, a deficien-
cy of iodine in the thyroid gland of
the unborn child may cause Creten-
isnn. The thing which most women
dread in child-bearing is the awful
possibility of having a child that is
not right mentally. Sufficient iodine
in the diet will help to avoid ,this.
Iodine accelerates metabolism, that
is, it makes our food more quickly
available for heat energy, or building
tissue. So that iodine in our food is
a value to everyone.
Iodine in Foods
We may. eat our iodine, instead of
taking it as a medicine, and mothers
with growing girls should watch that
they get it, as they .have a tendency
towards goiter. If you live near the
sea, you need have no worries on this
score, as fruits, vegetables and water
contain all that is necessary. Those
living in other parts of the country
should use considerable sea food.
Fish in some form is available. Can-
ned fish is just as good for this pur-
pose as fresh. Canned vegetables and
fruits grown in other parts of the
country may have more ,iodine than
those grown in your particular local-
ity, and for that reason, it is advis-
able to use some canned foods.

Doctors have agreed,: that adding
iodine to salt is the most convenient
way of adding the mineral to the gen-
eral diet, in localities where there is
little available. If you live inland, use
iodized salt, not only ori the table,.
but to cook your vegetables,

used to carry in sea -salt to prevent

because of the iodine they used it,

men, and it is up to the women to
see that it is stamped out.. Silly sup-
erstitions, like wearing ainber beads

News and Information
For The Busy Farmer
(Furnished by The Ontario Depart-
ment of Agriculture)
Crop . Diversity Helpful
Dr. G. I. Christie, president of the
Ontario Agricultural College, in a re-
cent address said that the recent
gloomy talk :about the price of west-
ern wheat was of minor concern to
Ontario, where a diversity.of products
is grown and where it is possible to
make a choice among half a dozen
lines to specialize. The time has not
yet come when the acreage of any
crop can be regulated and an assur-
ance given of ;highly remunerative
prices. The element of chance must
be reckoned with in farming as on
the stock exchange. Were it possible
to fix the price of wheat at cost of
production plus twenty per cent.,
there would be a rush to grain grow-
ing with a resultant surplus in a few
years that the world could not use.
Stresses Hone Markets
In his . first public statement, Mr.
Jas, B. Fairbairn, newly appointed
Deputy Minister of Agriculture, gives
expression to the following views:
"My thought is that we should
stress Ontario products. We should.
try tocreate in the minds of all
housewives the desire to purchase
Ontario products. We should also
educate the ddaler. We need the co-
operation of city people, the Manu-
facturers,
anufacturers, Chambers of Commerce and
service clubs. We have to stress be-
fore these bodies the fact that in or-
der to bring about a reorganization
of methods, we have to encourage
them to think of Ontario products.
My main thought is going to be to
stress the purchase of Ontario farm
produce. I want to .stabilize the home
markets for the Ontario producer.
We have the very best quality of
fruits and 'vegetables that can be pro-
duced anywhere."
• Current Crop Report
Many fields of fall wheat are being
plowed up in Brant, according to a
recent crop bulletin issued by the de-
partment. Sufficient hay to carry all.
stock to grass is indicated in Bruce,
In Dundas American buyers have
been active and a number of grade
cows have been .sold for from $85 to
$100. The top bull ata sale in Carle-
ton brought- a price of $225, while
250 stocker cattle were sold at the
same sale. .A large acreage of pota-
toes has been set out in Elgin. Cold
weather has effected little injury in
Essex County except to tobacco
plants, some of which are frozen. A
poor growth of fall wheat and mead-
ows in P.Ialdimand' has resulted in the
plowing up of: several fields, 'Many
clover and fall wheat fields in Middle-
sex are said to be practically worth-
less.
Profits in Dairying
A dairyman in Oxford County, Al-
bert Siple, who keeps a herd of from
1.7 to 18 Holstein cows on his 70 -acre
farm, and a strict account of the rev-
entte obtained from all sources mak-
ing use of the milk produced, has just
compiled some intcresitng figures
covering the past four years which'
strengthen the argument so often ad-
vanced that the dairy- farm offers a
safe investment provided the cows.
kept are of the breed and blood lines
r
likely to give good results at the pail,
In 1926, 17 cows in the herd produc-
ed 219,980 pounds of milk, an aver-
age of 12,940 pounds, The total re-
ceipts amounted to $4,08'4,87, an Mr
erage income per cow of $287.34. In
192.7 the same number of animals av-
eraged 12,459 pounds per cow and the
proceeds amounted to $4,167.61, aver-
aging $246,15 per cow, In 1928, 18
cows averaged 11,541 pounds of milk
and an income of $280,01, In 1929

averaged 11,871 pounds, and gave a

Fewer complaints would be heard
relative to the -unprofitableness of
dairy farming if the' production of
herds in Ontario could be raised from
the average of less than 4,000 pounds
to anywhere near the standard set by
Mr. Siple.
Honor Retiring Official
Heads of the various branches , of
the Department made a presentation
on the last day of April to W. Bert
Roadhouse, former. Deputy Minister,
on the occasion of hiS transfer to the
position of chairman of the Agricul-
tural . Devlopment Board. Mr. Road-
house recalled that when he became
Deputy Minister 18 years ago, the
expenditures were in the neighbor-
hood,,of $750,000 annually whereas at
the present time they are approxim-
ately $3,000,000 apart from'capital ex-
penditures. The board of which Mr.
Roadhouse now takes charge, has
loaned more than $27,000,000 to the
present time.
Soy Beans More Popular
Soy beans are coming more and
more into use as an annual hay crop.
For this purpose soy beans should be
sown early in May at the rate of one
and one-half to two bushels per acre,
'and the crop cut when the pods are
about half-grown. The seed. may be
sown with a grain drill in the same
way as 'field peas. Any soil which
grows corn welt: will produce a good
crop of soy beans, They produce a
large yield of palatable hay which is
very rich in protein. The only ob-
jection to the use of soy beans at
the present time is the high price of
the seed.
Soil Survey
In 1914 soil survey work was be-
gun in Ontario and has been carried
on ever since, Based on the prelim-
inary soil survey of Southwestern On-
tario, permanent; soil experimental
fields have been located in Welland,
Norfolk and Wellington Bounties.
The oldest soil' fertility plots have
been tinder experiment for 14 years
-While the most recent plot'in Norfolk
has been under experiment for nine
years,
The Apple and the Orange
n apples In a season whe pp s are abun-
dant and prices are low it might be
thought that sales would increase -and
that this fruit would take its :right-
ful place on the market, The orange
and grapefruit, which are rivals of the
apple, are this year scarce and com-
paratively high priced, yet the impor-
tations are heavy and they are prom-
inently displayed in shop windows.
Does the popular taste run to orang-
es. or is there a failure on the part
of the apple producer to push his
sales?
Ofi General. Application
lA townsman in Western Ontario
recently wrote to the Ontario Agri-
cultural 'College asking whether the
Provincial Corn Borer Act had any
application in cities, towns and vill-
ages. Professor Caesar, who is in
charge of the enforcement of the act
replied emphatically as follows:—
"Growers of small plots of corn in
villages, towns and cities must re-
member that ,the act applies to then
just as much as to the farmers, and
that sometimes their corn is more
heavily infested than the corn on the
farms. All corn stalks on these plots
and all coarse weeds alongside them.
must be gathered,and burned as scion
as they are dry andthe ground then
spaded ..or plowed."
Keeping Accounts
Although many fanners seem to
have a sort of horror of accounts,
and are inclined to say: "I don't know
anything about bookkeeping" or "It
takes too long," still the best of otir
farmers have always kept some sort
of record of their farm operations
and transactionsandthe t e p xactice is
becoming more common and neces-
sary as farming 'becomes more of a
competitive business, Recent investi-
gations by the Department of Econ-
omics at the O. A. C. show that a
much. larger proportion of fanners
are keeping accounts than is generally
believed. Every farmer should take
the opportunity •at once to secure .a.
copy of a, simple and concise book
called the. "Ontario Farm Account
Book," specially prepared for use by
the average farrier and available at
25 cents a copy by writing to the
Ontario Department of Agriculture.
The book provides space for entries
in practically every department of
farming and should be of inestimable
benefit to the farmer in enabling him
to keep an accurate account of his
receipts and expenditures.
Spring Foods
When Spring conies, it is some-
times more difficult to get vegetables.
Then is the time to use canned fruits
and vegetables freely. The old idea
was, that it was a inark of poor
housekeeping to use many canned
foods. It has taken' some of us a
long time to get over feeling guilty
every time we open a can. 'If there
are any among you, who still feel so,
snap out of it, as the boys say.
Minerals and Vitamins are urgent
necessities in our foods. Canning
does not change the minerals at all,
and you get just as many minerals
in canned foods as in fresh ones. The
vitamin content is very little lessened
in canning. Vitamins become less in
storage, and canned foods very often
have more vitamins than foods which
have been stored.
Do not use your canned fruits and
vegetables 'as is.' Use them in com-
binations with other foods. Spring
meals are apt to be monotonous, so
use canned foods freely 'to vary the
monotony.
