beat laxative foods and a food which
is rich in. minerals. Besides their
value, figs possess an un-
siaaally good flavor. and add much to

• In preparing figs, first wasli them in
hot water, rinse them in het water
and soak in water to cover for two
or three boars,' then cover the sauce-
pan and stew for 20 minutes. Pre-
pared in this way, they'll keep their

'lie winds up is letter by saying:
"This is harerfaced audacity about
what one might expect from the
capitalist class."
I sent a' copy of this letter to an
old friend of mine who has been farm-
ing for over 30 years in the 'Central
part of Saskatchewan. I have known
'nit thatlong. I can close any' eyes
and see the picture of his farm. I
knew 'that he also had two sons at
the front and i was curious to know
wha,t his attitude would -bp towards
the problem of the other man.
Here is his really:
"I am a farmer with -two' sons in
the armed forces. Thirty years ago I
also borrowed- money against my
farm. The money was used to py,
debts that 1 had contracted during
the years when I was trying to farm
without sufficient capital of InY own.
Since then 1 have paid in interest
more than the prinCipal of the orig-
inal itia.n, and -part of the principal is
still unpaid. But I d� not forget that -
1 was very glad to get. the money at
the time; and if the company had re-
fused to lend it, I would not have
been able to carry on. If I had made
big profits out 9f the farm r would
not have shared those profits with the.
compan. I would have paid accoro-
rg to the terms of the contract and •

In The Garden
Fr Freshness
In practically all vegetablea and
espedially the .1eafar and root sorts,
.the' real secret of crispness and ,gar-
den freshness. is quick growth: Let-
tuce that has been stalled in its

most • sure ta be tougb.er or woodier

Labor Savers
New gardeners are , advised to
watch the way old-timers handle ted-
ius jobs. Whenever possible, their
use long -handled spades, forks,rakes
and hoes te prevent stooping. They
alio use little special cultivators with
long handles. Even in wartime it is.
possible to get a very fair assort-
meat of garden tools. Minimum re-
quirements are a rake, hoe and either
a digging fork or spade.
Order Seeds Early
Newcomers ae: advised to order
early. Canadian seedsmen say there
will be enough to go round if orders
are placed early and enty what is
needed for this season is bought.
Canada has ,now to depend entirely
on its own production and what seed
can be imported from the United
States.
