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 Growers. This price
is arrived at by mutual agreement
between the Niagara Gralie 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
Board 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 $350,448.10.
The quantity of peaches produced
this year was 670,400 bushels, an
increase of 75,400 bushels over
1940.
The 1941 figures compared with
the 1940 figures on the other
crop is an outstanding instance, o$,. fruit oxo eve as . folio«sm.
A preliminary estimate of pro-
duction and value of thefruit
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 $1,242,075.04.
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 t' e price
paid by the wineries to the grape
growers.

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, paraatninobenzoic
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 constittite
a reservoir for encephalitis or
sleeping sickness ana 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
Dondrochronology, 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 Indian storage
pit near ICannub, Utah, at 217
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 out down
in 216 A.D.
TIN PLATE
John S. Nachtnian, director of
research of the Sharon Steel Cor-
poration, has developed a new
process for electroplating tin on
steel sheet, strip and wire which
saves tt=ont 40 'i:e 90 per 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 claim-
ed that this tin coating is more
resistant to rusting than hot -
dipped tin plate.
War In Sand,
Jungle And Snow
No war was ever so literally a
world war 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
Circle, 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. In the desert they struggle
with water shortages and sand-
storms. And in the jungle they
must hack their way through en-
twined underbrush. But whatever
the conditions, man is able to
conquer, or, at least., stand up to
them.

Animal Fats U
In New Sh v uteri ng
N e w Blended Shortening
Combination of Meet Fete
and Vegetable 011s
Development of an important
new market for the fanner is in-
dicated by the announcement that
domestic meat fats are now being
utilized in the production of Can-
adian shortenings.
Greatly increased hog praise -
tion of fat exports to Great Bri-
tain might well have created a
problem situation, but for the in-
tervention od shortening manu-
facturers both In eastern and west-
ern 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-
erly used in large quantities for
shortening manufacture. The new
blended shortening, as it Is palled,
oombines Canada's own meat fats
with a proportion of vegetable
oils to produee a product compar-
able in every way with the old
type of shortening made from im-
ported vegetable oils alone.
Dr. H. Pl. Robinson, eminent Am-
erican nutrition research authority
in recent consultation with the
Dominion Government's experts on
the fats and oils situation said,
"Fats are essential In the diet.
They supply more than twine the
energy of other foods. They can
help Canada win the war."
According to Dr. lPdna Guest,
convenor of the committee on pub-
lic health for the National Coat. -
oil 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 ode.
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 these very de-
sirable essentials. Such develop-
ments as fortification of flour and
the production of this new type of
shortening, using 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
do£oneiaa of I aliaya, . Ner ..e r e,_.
brought out under a white .fIag
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 supply of surgical
dressings.

We Should Not
Forget The Dutch
They Are Giving Valuable
Aid to Our Mcht In Rattle of
Pacific
We must not overlook a< tower
of strength which is aleo on ear
side in the Pacific and which lase
been inflicting damage on the
enemy in. a manner rather to be
expected from the descendants
of those who once ruled the `seas.
Holland's total fleet, when the
country was overrun in 1940, sen-
ounted to 120 vessels of variola
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, 89 Dutch
naval units were operating ha
European waters, so that eve sire
conservative in stating that more
than 50 ships are now in Tho
Netherlands East Indies service.
And how are they doing? Well,
the toll so far its half a dozen
troopships laden with Japaneso
soldiers, a blow to enemy land
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 French and the
Spaniards out of lith very Pa-
cific; the sons, too, of the ]nen
who veiled up the Thames and
burned the British fleet right un-
der the nose of all London. —

S SUMS
Indian Fighters
Outwit Japanese
The British Broadcasting Cosa-
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 Indians were
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 for 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
Belling fleet in British Columbia
contributed largely to the food
supplies of the Empire, it was
said. This led to a Government
deeieion 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.
