1 « ,1 Don't Look Much Like Fish, But That's What They Are â€" Although the principal market tor their huge catches of mackerel, whitefish, perch etc. is in the United States, the Omstead Brothers are continually developing new ideas to make fish more attractive as food for the average Canadian. Situated at Wheatley, Ont. the Fishery is operated by five brothers, two of whom are still of school age and work only during the summers. Started some 30 years •go this is now the largest inland pound net fishery in the Dominion. This exclusive picture, taken inside the plant, shows fish in the course of preparation for the freezer lockers in retail stores, where it will appear in one-pound, ready-to-use packages. Home of Canada's Largest Inland Pound Net Fisheries â€" Situated on the shores of Lake Erie at Wheatley, Ont. â€" about 25 miles southwest of Chatham â€" the Omstead Brothers Fishery has been in operation some 30 years, and has grown into the largest project of its kind in the Dominion. Pound net fishing is a highly developed type, using special all-metal boats which â€" because of lack of docking space â€" are hoisted up on derricks when not actually in use. Special pile-driving barges are used in constructing the nets, which stretch out into the lake as far as four miles. \\'hitefish, mackerel and perch are the principal products. This picture, taken especially for these pages, gives a general view of the plant. J hronicles %ing£rIasm ^ G^;Gn.doUr\c P. Clarke Tbat big day to which we had Icen looking forward for so man; weeks â€" the day on which my friend kcm England was due to arrive â€" has come and gone. Thirty years have fallen away and in our resumed hicndship we hardly realise they tfcr existed. Time changes the cekrar of one's hair, produces lines umi wrinkles, alters the contour of â- â- c's figtire (alas!) but after all is tM and done it does little to the leal person â€" the same character is ttere, the expressions and manner- hms that we remember make their appearance at unexpected times just H they always did. When I met Cicely at the airport I had only one moment of panic; that was when 1 had watched about twenty persons pass through the gate and still no sign of anyone I dionght in any way resembled her. And then I saw her . . . and without Ike least doubt at all as to her identity I went to the gate to meet fcer. So there we were â€" after thirty years. *. • * Incidentally, that was also the day when the men started cutting wheat â€" and had quite a bit of trouble with the binder. It was also Ihe day when the hatchery man phoned that he was bringing our second lot of chickens â€" half grown, thank goodness, and all pullets. Even at that the thought of more chickens on that day was the last straw since Bob and 1 were going to the airport and Partner, I thought, would have quite enough to do without acting as "chicken- sitter." So the arrival of the chicks was postponed for a day. •' * * • â-  Dp you know what? â€" I have ask- ed Cicely to jot down a few of her â- npressions of Canada and Cana- dian living so here they are verba- nm. "I arrived in Canada by air from England on July 21. The journey look just over twenty-four hours. Owing to bad weather we had to take the route via Iceland but due, probably to the skill of the pilot, the Atlantic crossing was smooth, and the attention and courtesy of the steWfirdess helped to make the trip for me a very pleasant exper- ience. And now what are my impres- sions of Canada gained in these few days? The countryside is vast but lovely with its woods and maple- lined roads â€" and I love the pretty blue chicory. I said I wanted to take a root back to England but was told in no uncertain terms of the nature and character of this lovely flower that I admired so much. Ontario seems a land of queer noises â€" trains that screech like "All Clear" sirens; the constant ringing of party line telephone bells that nobody seems to answer. The local shops, I thought, were large and well-filled, and the newspapers absolutely enormous. ' * • • The countryside as a whole seems very similar to that of Eng- land but the shopping centre with its wooden stores, and the residen- tial district with wooden houses among the trees, quite continental in appearance. Naturally I am en- joying the quantity and variety of food that comes to the table and I am sure many an English house- wife would envy what goes into Tippy's supper dish every night .\nd the bread ... I just cannot get over the lightness and whiteness of the br^ad! * * • .\s for the eggs â€" 1 never saw such enormous eggs. I can't quite get used to the idea of there being no twilight. It is 'ight â€" and thifn so suddenly it is dark. I love Cana- dian farm life' â€" at bast what I have seen of it so far â€" soon I shall be an accomplished hen and chicken feeder. Last night I even tried to milk a cow .and got at least a tum- bler-full of milk, so 1 am looking forward to several weeks happy and useful holidav in Canada." Considerate "Look heah, Rastus, you all know what you're doin'? You goin' away for de weekend and there ain't a stick of wood cut for de house." "Well, what you all whinin' about, woniin?

After periods of heavy rainfall it will often be found that many of the fertilising elements have been "leached" out of your soil â€" and a supplem e n t a r y feeding at this season is general- ly a good invest- I ment because of the various vege- table crops. For even if your soil preparation in the spring was adequate late crops may by this time be in need of this extra feeding. Nitrate of soda applied at the rate of five pounds per 1,000 square feet is good for this purpose. * • • When you notice small sticky spots appearing on sidewalks, or on the tops of cars parked under shade trees, you caa be pretty cer- tain they are due to the aphids. The sweet and sticky secretion from these insects is often called honey- dew â€" which is the attraction for the hordes of ants which often accom- pany the aphids. Norway maple is one of the great- est favorites of the aphids, but they will settle on poplar, birch, haw- thorn and sometimes even cherry and apple trees. Sprays of nicotine are the usual treatment, but they must be given regTilarly and repeatedly as several different generations of aphids can 111....C thtir appearance in a very short time. * * ♦ A new variation of the time-tested "soil soaker" is a new irrigator â€" which fits any hose â€" that has just come on the market. The new con- traption consists of a small round cylinder perforated with many tiny holes through which the water bub- bles, soaking and aerating the soil at one and the same time. • • « » More and more gardeners, in order to improve the quality of the soil, are making a point of sowing some "green manure" crop in vegetable gardens, in annual flower beds, or in any other garden patch that can be spared during the early fall or early spring. Fall wheat is a fine crop for this purpose and so is rye. You will need about one pound of either for 400 square feet â€" or about two bushels to an acre. Scatter the seed over your beds in late .\uijust or early September, then cultivate it in. * * • Don't delay too long the pruning of your rambler roses; in fact the best plan is to tackle the job as soon as possible after flowering is done. Pruning should be done every year, because of the heavy growth. All you have to do is cut out. close to the ground, all the canes that have flowered this year. Tying and training the new canes should begin immediately after the cutting is done. • * • If you want paiisies to edge a flower bed or border a walk next spring, start growing the plants from seed right now. Fresh seed, planted in a coldframe or flat within the next two or three weeks, should germinate abundantly The .seed- lings should be then pricked out and properly spaced, and the young plants finally moved to their per- manent places in October. * . * * "Even a modest garden contains. for those who know how to look and to wait, more instruction than a library."â€" AM lEL. TABLE TALKS There are many who claim that they simply do not hke squash as a table vegetable when, as a matter of fact, they have never tasted it when properly cooked. For squash can be very tasty, as well as health- ful, whether it is the crookneck variety, the Italiai or Zucchini squash, or the saucer-shaped patty- pans. Here are some recipes you are almost certain to enjoy; but one thing is very important. Squash of any kind should be used when young and tender â€" not after the shell grows tough and hard. Squash, Pan-fried Slice squash about three quarters of an inch thick; dip slices into milk, then into fine bread crumbs seasoned with onion, salt, pepper, etc. Saute in butter or cooking fat 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown and crisp and serve hot. Spanish-style Squash One small summer squash and one medium-size eggplant cut in small dice. .Arrange in buttered baking dish in alternate layers with two sliced tomatoes. Grate one medium onion and sprinkle over vegetables. Add touch of paprika or any other seasonings you choose. Cover all with crushed corn flakes, dotted libcrallv with butter or fat.
