Youth ii TEA CHRONICLES of GINGER FARM H«re is a little bit of information that may interest farmers who are wondering where help is coming from to take off this year's crop. An employee of a city plant told us that men and boys who previously owned or lived on farms we now being laid off right and left, and of course selective service tsending them back to the farms, me of them are glad enough of an opportunity to get back to the land--others are not so happy. It remains to be seen how many will really settle down again. How often that age-old problem presents itself -- how to keep the young folk on the farm ... how to make farm life sufficiently attractive so they will want to stay. Personally, I don't think the answer lies so much in the farm as in the young people themselves. Some of them want to farm -- others do . not. Proof of that can be found in any average farm family. Naturally home conditions are the same for Bill as for John, yet John develops an unrest which only a job away from home seems to satisfy, while Bill is quite content to till the land. He takes an interest in Dad's pure bred cattle; he asks nothing better than to be given the responsibility of driving and caring for the tractor; and as he ploughs up and down the field his thoughts leap ahead to the time when he will be farming on his own. Conditions on the farm may not be quite as he would like them at present, but he has vision and he -looks forward and figures out ways and means of making improvements -- shorter John, on the other hand, gets a job that pays big money. But it Isn't long before he finds that the . and when a an odd snack lions from his pay awful lot of board . fellow eats out ever costs a quarter .. not like at home where the cookie jar was always hind of handy. And of course a fellow has to have some fun. He kids himself along by thinking what a dull time Bill is having -- the dope -- and how little he gets for all his hard work. And then one week-end ai home there was Bill telling him about the Victory Bonds he has put away. "You've got Victory Bonds, Bill?" "Sure -- come in mighty handy after the war. But you have some too, John ... I remember you saying so." "Yes," said John slowly, "I did have but I cashed them in ... had to .. that smash with my car . . had to have a new engine. It cost me plenty." Poor John ... he had to learn the hard way. It may be that after he has savoured city life for a few more years h , too, may realise that there is more than hard work to be found on a farm. There is a freedom that is found nowhere GOOD APPETITE... GOOD DIGESTION HEARTWARMING . . . that describes Maxwell House Coffee. It's a superb' blend of choice Latin-American coffees--each selected for its own par* ticular quality of fine flavor, fragrance or body. else on earth. And it provides greater opportunity for initiative than many a city job. On the other hand, although the going may be tough, John may eventually find his niche in the business or professional world -- he may never return, to the farm for more than a visit. But that will not be the fault of the farm or farming conditions -- it will just be the natural order of things. Farming is Bill's way of making a living -- John's choice is something entirely different. What road every Bill and John will follow can only be determined by giving each one a chance to shift for himself. And in so doing we need have no fear for the future of agriculture. Love of the land is too deep-rooted in the soul of man or it ever to die out to any great extent. As long as the human race survives there will be farmers -- successful farmers, who till the land from choice -- not by compulsion. I have no figures to prove my theory but it is my opinion that among the This is the square you'll be making by dozens and scores--for pillow tops, doilies; and to join together for spreads, cloths scarfs.

Soapless Soap A "soap" which is no soap at all will be used in kitchens and bathrooms after the ^var. Technically >it is a detergent or wetting agent. It looks like soap and cleanses like soap, but it has new merits. It works as well in hard or salt water as in soft, and no ring is left around the bathtub because the salts found in hard water, generally lime, do not react with the "soap" to form an insoluble curd. A molecule is built up of an oily part (coconut oil) which will dissolve grease and a salty part that dissolves in water. .The oily end of these detergent molecules does not react with the salts found in hard water to make a curd.
