M ISSUE -'42 FRUIT CROP VALUES SHOW 1941 INCREASE Vineyards Close Second To Apple Orchards In Dollar Value A preliminary estimate of pro- Auction and value of the fruit crops in Ontario for 1941 just made available by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, discloses that apples again led in value of production, with $1,242,075.04. This was a decrease of $62,624.96 from the 1940 apple crop value. The quantity of apples "produced last year was 614,871 compared with 783,000 bushels in 1940. Grapes were again in second place in dollar value with a pro- duction of 22,500 tons valued at $1,189,294.71. Although the ton- nage of grapes grown was less by 2,450 tons, there was an increase in income return to the grape growers of $265,594.71. About 70 per cent of the grape crop is purchased by the wineries and this increase in commercial return was largely due to the in- crease of $10.00 per ton (from $40.00 to $50.00) in l price paid by the wineries to the grape growers. The marketing of the grape crop is an outstanding instance of sensible and profitable co-opera- tion between the grower and the processor. Each year there is es- tablished a fixed minimum price per ton on grapes which must be paid by the Ontario Wineries to the Grape Growers. This price is arrived at by mutual agreement between the Niagara Grape Grow- ers Association and the Niagara Peninsula Growers representing the Grape Growers, and the Wine Producers Association represent- ing Wineries. This price is ap- proved by the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. The Wineries, therefore, represent an assurance of profitable return to the Grow- ers. Peaches are again in third place with a crop value of $1,162,- 848.10. This is an increase over the 1940 crop of $350,448.10. The quantity of peaches produced this year was 670,400 bushels, an increase of 75,400 bushels over 1940. The 1941 figures compared with the 1940 figures on the. other fruit crops are as follov.-s: 1940 1941 Fruit Unit Production Value Production Value Canteloupes bus. 103,500 $ 84,900 149,200 $102,020 Cherries bus. 87,700 256,600 62.240 281,861 Pears ' bus. 264,300 289,200 167,200 244,763 Plums bus. 72,500 76,200 92.000 128,366 Raspberries qts. 5,fiO<;,700 538,100 4,057,700 668,647 Strawberries qts. 9,998,000 644,300 6,117,950 550,838 What Science Is Doing TOPS IN SCIENCE Ten big science stories and achievements of 1941, selected by Watson Davis, director of Sci- ence Service, arc: The radio locator of attack- ing airplanes developed and put into war use.

TREE RINGS Dendrochronology, the science of reading and charting tree rings to determine past weather condi- tions, etc., has enabled W. S. Stnllings, Jr., of Santa Fe, N.M., to date a pinion pine log taken from an ancient Indian storage pit near Kanub, Utah, at 217 A.D., says Pathfinder. This IB the earlwst definite date assign- ed to a structure in the South- west. Comparing the log's rings with the dendrochronological cal- endar, he found that it flourished from 91 until It was out down In 216 A.D. pig tin. The steel material is first given a "flash" coating of a metal other than tin, where- upon tin is deposited and bright- ened by iv.c-lting R. It is claim- ed that this tin coating js more resistant to resting than hot- dipped tin plate. War In Sand, Jungle And Snow TIN PLATE John S. Nachtman, director of rwearch of th Sharon Stel Cor- poration, has dvlopd a nw process for electroplating tin on ttetl sheet*, strip and wire which ftrom 40 i 10 pr cent in No war was ever so literally a world war as t'ns, whk-h is fouirht in Arctic snows, in desert wastes, and in equatorial jungles. From the cold Russian front, which stretches far beyond the Arctic Circle, the wa" spreads south to the Libyan snnds, and the steam- ing, fever-filled Malayan wilder- ness. Each zone has its unique prob- lems and hardships for soldiers. In the north they freeze, their guns go out of commission, their airplanes are hard to keep in the air. In the desert they struggle with water shortages and sand- storms. And in the jungle they must hack their way through en- twined underbrush. But whatever the conditions, man is able to conquer, or, at least, stand up to them. Relieve ItcliFatt ^Scratching For quick relirf from ilc-liing of rcarma, iiimplfK mil- let' fuul.

Made In Canada. i Animal Fats Used In New Shortening New Blended Shortening Combination of Meat Fat* *nd Vegetable Oils Development of an important nw market for the farmer is In- dicated by the announcement that domestic meat fate are now being utilized in the production of Can- adian shortenings. Greatly Increased hog produc- tion of fat exports to Great Bri- tain might well have created a problem situation, but for the in- tervention of shortening manu- facturers both In eastern and west- ern Canada. Coupled with the need to develop a new outlet for these domestic fats, has been the Do- minion government's Import re- strictions on vegetable oils form- erly used in large quantities for shortening manufacture. The new blended shortening, an it Is called, combines Canada's own meat fats with a proportion of vegetable oils to produce- a product compar- able In every way with tb old type of shortening made from Im- ported vegetable oils alone. !>. H. E. Robinson, eminent Am- erican nutrition researuh authority in recent consultation with the Dominion Government's experts on the fats and oils situation said, "Fats are essential in the diet They supply more than twice the energy of other foods. They can help Canada win the war." According to Dr. Edna Guest, convenor of the committee on pub- lic health for the National Coun- cil of Women, and its represent- ative on the Canadian Council on Nutrition, "We must have animal fats In the diet. They are neces- sary for actual existence. An ade- quate diet is the key to Britain's serin-it y. With such facts before ue we should search our markets to see that meat fata are always procurable. In the new blended shortening we find these very de- sirable essentials. Such develop- ments as fortification of flour and the production of this new type of shortening, using meat fats as well as vegetable oils, deserve our study and serious consideration." Use of the blended shortening entails no change* in existing recipes. It Is used In the same quantities, In the same way, and with the same results. Italians Release Wounded Airmen Five wounded airmen, mem- bers of the crew of a British bomber which crashed within the defences of Halfaya, were brought out under a white flag by an Italian medical officer to receive attention from South Af- rican besieging the position. The officer, who was permit- ted to pass through the lines un- molested, said the Italians in Halfaya lack medical supplies and it was only humane to bring the airmen to their friends. The South Africans sent the Italian back under safe conduct with a large supply of surgical dressings.

We Should Not Forget The Dutch They Are Giving Valuable Aid to Our Siae In Batti. f Pacific We must not ovMrlook a toweaf of strength which k alto on ew aid* in th Pacific and which ha been inflicting damage on th nemy in a manner rather to be expected from the descendant! of those who one* ruled the Maa. Holland's total fleet, when th country was overrun in 1940, am- ounted to 120 vowel* of various categories, from battle cruiser* to mine-layers and patrol boats. Practically this entire fore* got away from the Nazis, but line* then 14 shipa have been sunk. As of last September, 30 Dutch naval units were operating in European waters, so that we are conservative in stating that more than 50 ship* are now in The Netherlands East Indies service. And how are they doing? Well, the toll so far ii half a dozen troopships laden with Japanese oldiers, a blow to enemy land strength, never mind the ships, which could equal in ultimate strategical and tactical value M many battleships. These are the sons of the men who chased the French and the Spaniards out of thi* very Pa- cific; the sons, too, vf the men who tailed up the Thames and burned the British fleet right un- der the nose of all London. Chicago Sun. Indian Fighters Outwit Japanese The British Broadcasting Cor- poration told of messages from Singapore, praising the "magni- ficent work" of Indian troop* from the North Malayan front. One story received, typical ef many, told of how three Indian soldiers led a Japanese aolumn into a disastrous trap. When the three Indians were captured by the Japanese, an in- terpreter told them they would be well rewarded if they would lead the troops to the rear of a certain British position. "The Indiana pretended to agree," the broadcast said, "and were marched in front of a Jap- anese column with tommy guns pressed into their backs." "But instead of leading the en- emy behind the British lines, the Indians dauntlessly led them straight into the line of British cross fire. "Flinging themseles to the ground as the British troops op- ened fire, they miraculously es- caped being killed." The Japanese were either wiped out or fled in disorder. The In- dians then identified themselves and rejoined their unit. New Income Tax For Russian People A war-time income tax affect- ing most Russians who earn the equivalent of $1 a day or more became effective January 1, authorities announced. Levies range from $25 on sal- aries of $365 a year to $545 on thoae of ?4,800. Partial payments are to be made monthly. All citizens over 18 except So- viet army and navy personnel, their dependents and invalids are liable. Canada Will Use Jap Fishing Fleet Plans have been approved by the Government for putting back into production the 1,100 vessels of tiie British Columbia Japanese fishing fleet which was immo- bilized by Government restric- tions. The fleet, owned by persons of Japanese origin, is valued at be- tween $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. Some 980 units are impounded near New Westminster and the remainder at Prince Rupert and ether Pacific ports. They were impounded when the Government ruled that fish- ing by those of Japanese racial origin would be prohibited in all Canadian water*, and banning- Japanese from serving on any fishing vessels. The production of the Japanese flehlng fleet in British Columbia contributed largely to the food applies of th*e Empire, it was said. This led to a Government decision that action must be taken at once to get the immobilized fleet back into operation while preserving for the Japanese own- ers their equity in the vessels. for common ordinary sore throat RECTAL SORENESS AND PILE TORTURE QUICKLY RELIEVED If jou uia tiuuoiuu wan nulling piles or rtictul surenee-s, du tjut delay treatment and run the risk of letting thla condition become chronic Any; ItrhlnH ur sureties* or pulniul pass- age of stool Is nature's warning and proper treatment should be oecured at once For this purpose net n pu< k.ige of Hem-Kuid from any druggist and use as directed.
