Food Control Corner If there is one phaite of food con- servation more than another that comes within woman's immediate sphere it is the question of waste. When she is saving: on the little things and straining every nerve to muke the most of what she has, wholesale and indiscriminate waste of food-stuffs through hoarding or storing natural- ly incenses her greatly. It has been a sore point for some CHAPTP;R I. I "Oh, just getting together a lot of time past with many women that they There was the usuiil Saturday six the fellows.

Her face shone that flour and sugar would be scarce j both practices result of the natural riches of a new country rather than the outcome of thrifty living. It is calculated that 150,000,000 a year is a conservative estimate of the waste in food-stuffs that has gone on in Canada in recent years. Waste on the European Con- tinent, in times of peace, has been a mere bagatelle a.s compared with the waste on this side of the Atlantic. True, four years of war have made a difference. Infinitely less food finds its way into the garbage cans to-day than in 1914. The persistent preach- ing of the gospel of thrift and the in- creasing gravity of the food situation in Kurope have made the women of Canada vigilant for the small chan- nels of waste that drain a country's resources. Nevertheless, there is waste both on a large and small scale and there is hoarding to a certain extent.

The agricultural situation as re- gards cereal crops is very satisfac- tory throughout Great Britain. Three million acres added to the acreage which was cultivated before the war is practically assured. It is expected the extra acreage of potatoes will be only 600,000 instead of 1,000,000. Farmers have been asked to increase this. They have been discouraged to gome extent ow- ing to the lateness of the Government announcement in regard to takingr over the surplus of last season's crop. That announcement has now been is- sued, and it fixes the price on and af- ter May 16 at $36 a ton. The action taken by the United States in withdrawing shipping from the Argentine for the purpose of send- ing more wheat to Europe is regarded in England with the greatest satis- faction. The Food Controller has ordered the registration of bakers. Flour dealers' returns giving details of their business will enable the Minister to ascertain the requirements h; every area. It is understood that this action is taken as a preliminary to the institution of a scheme for rationing bread flour in the near future.
