The familiar caw of the crow is now heard. The Farm Foruan met at the home of Mrs. E)thel Hmtdhinson and dis- cussed the question "Labor and Farmer â€" Friend or Foe?" There was a apdrited ddsoussion. The mem- bers felt that the demand for hig-her â- wages doesn't hoirt the fawner, pro- vided that everything (prices, servi- ces, etc.) iviaintain a proper balance. It was felt that industrial workers have more free time the year round than farmers, but the farmers are better able to adjust their free time. Workers have routine hours â€" farm/- ers have routine jolbs. The one has to punch the cme clock, lue oijitu has to make hay wihile the sun shines. It was also felt that labor unions are not against the interes.ts of agricuiltuire, and farmers mark- eting swhemes are not against the interests of the city consumer, Carl Wilson presided and Mrs. <3dlTay acted as secretary. Miss Doreen Alcox had charge of the re- creation progtaon-, whiich consisted of games, contests, indoor horse- shoes and haranonica duets by How- ard and Riuth Graham.

"My dear,*' he purwd, "where have you been all my life?" "Weill," answered the girl qaiickly, "for the first forty years anyway, I probabiy wasn't bora." NEW!

In any case it seems that the white man took the potato ihome to Ireland from South -Ajmerica. Our modem varieties are e-vidently much more productive and far superior to this less cultured po- tato. It was not until after a Wight epidemic in li&47 th-it much thought was given to improving the "pata- tas" as they were called. Today the host varieties grown in Ontario are ivaLahum, .Sebago ana Irish Coboier ^renowned for production as well as ideal for cooking. Potatoes are one of our most eco- nomical nutritious foods. Recently an economist stated that for an av- erage hour's work in urban centres, one can buy 41' lbs. of potatoes. Back in 1018 the hourly -vvage.o of the wor'king man in Canada would buy only 18 ibs. of potatoes. Like all vegetables, potatoes should be peeled thin; or just scrubbed with a ring peeled around them for boiling. Bak- ed (Potatoes should be on the menu at least three 'imes every week if yoii i-ealize the value of the nutrients stored under the skin. Cook only until tender whether boiled, scailop- ed, or baked. As a guide you may ch(vk the ouantities you cook ac- cording to this table: Boiled Potatoes â€" 35 to 30 minutes. Scalloped Potatoes â€" 1 hour at 360 degrees. Baked Potatoes â€" iVa hours at 350 degrees. TAITE A TIP 1. Do not p«">i y-'tatoo^ in the na««^n. ing and leave them in water be- oaoise Ijhe starch contining nutri- ents soaks out. 2 Do not cook potatoes t"^ prior to meal hour as they will lose the vitamin value. 3. Do not home-fry leftover pota- toes unless in an emergency. Heat letftovers in cream sauce, bee'f gra\T, can of soup or brown in oven wiui dripping. •*.
