n thb aciow tobb mess country blitzes left their mark bravely borne the mixing boufl making smeoryoot minbbaijs and vitamins hello hornemakersl the nutrition campaign is under way once again we discuss minerals and vitamins why first of all because 85 of the women at the last red cross meeting we attended requested it and secondly because recent surveys show that canadians are not getting sufficient 1 calcium 2 vitamin bl 3 iron 4 vitamin a 3 protein vitamin c this happens largely through lack of knowledge of food values and seldom through lack of money nutrition experts have found that most ol us dont get enough vitamins aiuhjnlnerau be cause wenlont know how to spend our food dollars mineral i foods build u bone and assist thejwork of every cell in the body the hardtoget minerals are calcium and iron calcium is neces- sary not only for building strong bones and teeth but alsoffor proper functioning of the nervouvayatei proper beating of the heart control of the muscles and enrichment of the blood you can make sure of your calcium quota by including 1st your dally diet one pint of milk per adult and one quart of milk per child milk products such as cottage cheese may be used for part of your quota iron makes red blood cells and car- rles oxygen to the cells of every organ nnd tissue minor disturb ances even slight infections cause loss of iron but in pit of its im portance iron cannot be stored in the body nnd the amounts obtained from foods are very small to make sure of your iron ration we cannot stress too much the green leafy veg etables and luckily they are cheap as well as fruits whole grain bread and cereals vltamlnrlch foods build up resist ance to disease promote growth and keep the body functioning smoothly vitamins cannot be

information in this case wai laid by officers t the dominion de partment of agriculture soybean as a forage and soil improvement crop the soybean has become widely recognized as n high protein feed hated on the value of the mature seed the plant itself being both an annual nnd a legume has qualities which will be found advantageous in many cropping practices soys c w owen dominion experimental sta tion harrow ontario a crop of soybeans is valuable for either hay or pasture this does not imply that soybeans will compete with perennial traps such as alfalfa but in cased where such crops hnve been winter killed a spring seeding of so beans will provide a good em ergency supply of feed cut in the stage when the pods fare about two- thirds tilled sohean hay is about equal to alfalfa in feed value al though the actual curing may be slightly more difficult the soybean crop may also be used for pasture provided the ordinary precautions to prevent bloating are observed as nboll improvement crop the soybean has certain definite qualities as it is a legume it has the ability to utilize free atmospheric nitrogen provided the proper nodule- forming bacteria are present in the soil if these bacteria are not already in the soil they must be introduced by in oculation of the seed before planting this means that in the presence of these bacteria a large proportion of the nitrogen contained in the crop will come from the air thus relieving the drain upon soil reserves when the mature seed is harvested with a combine only the seed is removed and the remainder of tho plant is left well distributed for ploughing even though the seed la removed it will stlu be found necessary to ap ply other fertilizers such as phos phoric acid and potasn in order to maintain the soil fertility level in general the soybean may be regarded as a very useful crop from the standpoint or supplementary and emergency hay or pasture helpful effects upon the soil will also result from growfng this crop chronirjes ol ginger farm -mb- awkndounb cuuwe if we were out to buy a farm to day we should want to know a lot more about some things than we did twenty years ago the first thing we should make sure of would be a good well guar anteed to last out in dry seasons and we should also want good out buildings lots of them pig pens hen houses and more henhouses and we would iook especially for a short lone that could be shovelled out easily in winter time and with a windbreak against the prevailing winds we should want a smallish house furnace heated with a bathroom and hydro already installed and we would like a basement with some sort of tnoglc coalbin like the widows cruse of oil but thats life you learn from experience what vyou really want when the time for choosing has long since past maybe 1artner wouldnt agree with all i have said but thems my sentlmcbts anyway by that you may gather we have had plenty of fun this jast sub- sero weektaking milk to the road having parcels left nt the gate hold ing our breath with each fresh scuttle of coal required fearful in on- the shovel trttould touch bottom and we ihoucht we had coal enough for the winter as n consoling thought partner wild today that ho had an idea we might expect rough weather right along until spring heres hoping he is not a good weather prophet but even the weather has its funny uule saturday i thought i really should go to town but decided the lane still looked impassable so i gave up the idea anl then late in the afternoon along came some neighbors collecting for n presentation i thanked the driver of the carvery much for breaking our lane open for us the look on the mans face was really funny when ho realized his was the first car to come in but ho didnt get turned around but backed all the way out partner was doing chores and wouldnt bellovothnt n car had been in nnd out ns he hail neither seen nor heard it but the wheel marks were there to prove it i guess tho lane wasnt quite as bad as we thought it but after nil why go out if you dont have to savo gas save rubber and get on with tho work at home not a bad idea is itt but sometimes it is anything hut there was n farm mechanics course in town to which partner would like to hnve gone nut when n man is working alone and had weather makes double work to take n few hours off during the day is an absolute impossibility ami yet what a lot of helpful information partner probably missed through not being nble to take advantage of the course 1 wonder how mnny people nro reading nnd considering the vnrlous plans being put forward for an or ganized increase in food production i am inclined to think there will bo some sort of a program sprung on us pretty soon as tho result of tho gnrdlnerwlcktird conference in tho usa certainly something will have to he done to avoid a food shortage the globe and mall quotes n scien tific agriculturist as saying that ro per cent of the farms in canada are subsistence farms with the other 20 per cent responsible for iho larger part of the production of money crops nnd products he suggests that 20 per cent of the subsistence farm be closed for the duration and tho own ers turn out to help tly productive farmers and that all farm machinery be pooled by districts no doubt thc plan has much to commend it hut we dont jlko the idea of farms lying idle think of tho weeds nnd there would still be taxes to pay or maybe tho govern ment would subsidize farmers not to work their farms but why should the small farmer be made the goatt after all if 80 per cent of the far mers are in the subsistence class there must be a lot of produce being sold from those farms for the owners to make a living at all i said to part ner what steps do you think the government should fake to insure adequate food supplies without any hesitation he answered there should be a guaranteed price plan so that a farmer would know what he could do either produce prices should be increased to enable farmers to pay the high wages in demand or if the prices remain as at present wages should be subsidized as they ore in england now u cam be tou how nad raiders rarase teal dto- oicts of britisli
