CH R ne 94 (CE 2S rhursday, September 9, 1948 THE OAKVILLE-TRAFALGAR JOURNAL Page § For The Progressive Farmer Of Trafalgar Township Research Shows Vitamin Oils Improve Mixed Feeds rhe vitamin fortification of commercial mixed feeds, especial- ly poultry feeds, is common prac- fice, It is important that vita- mins be added in sufficient quan- tities to meet the needs of the animals or birds to be fed. But { is also important that the cost of the feeds is not increased un. hessarily through wasteful use of {hese costly vitamins, In order to produce economically, feeds hich are nutritionally complete, manufacturers must therefore (now the potency of the vitamin cupplements they use. For some years now the plant products division of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, which administers the Feeding Stuffs Act, has been checking the vita- nin A and D guarantees made by manufacturers of feeding oils. Such oils are the most commonly used vitamin supplements. When this work was started many discrepancies were found. Some firms met their guarantees fairly consistently, others were badly out at times. Most firms fvhose guarantees were out, were is often above as below their fuarantees. This indicated that hey were having difficulties in blending or testing.

Through direction and instruction, it was possible to bring the testing meth- ods of manufacturers into line, with the result that in recent years very few cases have been found where vitamin A and D guarantees on these feeding oils have not heen met. Canadian Bacon Pleases Britishers Canadian bacon is well liked in the United Kingdom. Mr. R. Logan Layton, of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture, who is stationed in Lon- don to report on the quality of Canadian meat arriving in the United Kingdom, recently paid a visit to Manchester. This city is the distributing centre of food- stuffs for that densely populated part of England renowned the world over for its cotton spin- ning and weaving industries, and for its engineering, machinery and chemical factories. Mr. Logan talked with butch- ers and meat dealers, wholesalers and retailers, and as a result of his inquiries reports that Cana- dian bacon is most popular. He states that representatives of the bacon trade drew his attention to the fact that retailers are more. enthusiastic over Canadian bacon than ever before. They comment- ed in particular on the steady, substantial flow of bacon that is coming from Canada and on the achievement which Canadians have made in improving quality. British retailers are handling more Canadian bacon than any other kind and their customers are well satisfied with it. Behind this encouraging news is the accomplishment of Cana- dian farmers in producing a lean bacon hog; the vigilance of the Dominion Department of Agri- culture in its inspection, and in its efforts to promote a milder cure; and the co-operation of the packing industry in preparing properly cut Wiltshire sides. Unless you can lie glibly, it is almost impossible to crawl out of an invitation for anything scheduled to take place a month hence. A woman's best asset is still a man's imagination.

Species tulips also come in a great number of beautiful and in- teresting varieties, which show a bewildering variation of size and shape of flowers and foliage. Shown in the accompanying garden-graph are two popular varieties of species or botanical tulips, sylvestris and kaufman- niana. Sylvestris blooms in late April with bronze-yellow flowers which change to a butter yellow in col- or and are very fragrant. Kaufmanniana grows but eight inches high and opens out flat like a water lily at noon each day, éx- posing a white interior shading to yellow at the base of the petals. Every evening it folds up tight into slim pink buds that stand erect. Species tulips are especially suitable for planting in the rock garden between creeping plants. They also lend themselves to planting in groups or colonies in small, warm nooks among shrub plantings, a situation where the standard, large flowered tulips would be out of place. Species tulips grow best in Io- cations with sunny exposure where there is good drainage. Since they do not require the an- nual or biennial lifting, they may be left undisturbed for years. The bulbs of species tulips should be planted in November. Although they are small bulbs, they should be planted from four to six inches deep. 1949 WHEAT The United States Department of Agriculture has recommended for 1949 a wheat area of 71.5 mil- lion acres, about eight per cent less than the estimated acreage of 1948. On the basis of the 1938- 47 yield of 15 bushels per acre, U.S. Discover Many Uses For World's Oils, Fats Rationing of butter and short- ages of lard, shortening, soap, paints, varnishes, and lubricating oils in Canada during the war, showed the importance of oils and fats in international trade. The world production of oils and fats of all kinds in the years just before the war amounted on the average between 24 and 25 million tons a year, and of the oil-equivalent, three-fifths came from oilseed crops, and two-fifths came from anfmal fats or were fish oils, according to the 1948 summary of Vegetable Oils and Oilseeds, prepared by the Com- monwealth Economic Committee. In 1946, the estimated world pro- duction was about 20 per cent less than the pre-war ayerage, but the total quantity of oils end fats which entered world trade fell by more than 50 per cent, from about 6.50 million tons to 3.15 million tons. When thinking of vegetable oils Canadians are inclined to picture the oil crops grown in Canada-- flax, soybeans, rape and sun- flower. Actually there are 30 different trees or crops which are used for the production of fatty oils--as distinct from volatile or essential oils, which are mainly of vegetable origin also--and a much larger number are known to contain oil which has not been extracted commercially. The oils which are important in interna- tional trade and which account for about 90 per cent of the total are coconut oil, palm and palm kernel oil, groundnut (peanut), linseed (flax), soybean, and cotton seed oil. Rapeseed is one of the most extensively grown oilseed crops, and during the war gained im- portance as a substitute for the scarce castor oil as a lubricant. The quantity entering internation- al trade is small. The most im- portant of the other oil crops are olive oil, sunflower seed oil and sesame, all of which are mainly consumed domestically, and cas- tor, tung and perilla oil. By far the most important of the animal fats are butter and lard. Whale oil is the chief mari time oil and its output has risen notably. with the development of whaling in the Antarctic. Modern extraction processes have made available for edible purposes many oils which previ- ously were considered only Suit- able for soap and other non-edible purposes. Even so, some oils are more generally used than others for particular purposes. Thus, for manufacture of margarine the most important vegetable oils are usually coconut, palm kernel, palm, groundnut, cottonseed and soybean. Coconut, palm and palm kernel oils are also widely used for soap making. For shortening, cottonseed oil predominates, but soybean oil and groundnut ofl have been used more extensively in recent years. Drying oils are required in the manufacture of: paints and varnishes, and for these linseed oil is most gener- ally used, with soybean, tung and perilla oils as substitutes. Castor and rapeseed oils are used large- ly as lubricants. All departments. P. 19 Melinda St. Toronto, Ont.
