pint of FORMALIN with gallons of water or two lablespoonfuls to one pall of water Place Ihe grain to be treated in a heap on clean can vass of floor Sprinkle the- formalin solution over the grain then shovel Repeal this UNTIL EVERY GRAIN IS MOISTENED by the solution then COVER THE PILE WITH SACKING and leave for three or four hours At Ihe end of this time spread the grain out thinly to dry shovelling it over three or four times will hasten the drying Forty gallons of the formalin solution is sufficient to thirty or bushels of grain smaller amounts In proportion Bags ma chinery or

the- fact that- there has been a very inadequate supply of labor sufficiently skilled to make deliveries effective This has hampered factories turning out steel forgings and component parts wlnch In turn have adversely af fected operations at the machining and assembling plants But these also have been unable to make de liveries as scheduled even when they are fully supplied with and component parts largely owing the shortage of labor The Provincial Committee there fore in bringing these facts to the attention of the public desires To call the attention of all hose engaged in the munitions and allied industries to the importance of their services and the great re sponsibility resting upon them as individuals to cooperate and do all in their power to secure a steady and increased supply of munitions for our forces at the front 2 to urge upon all those not eligible for overseas service and who anxious to voluntarily do their best in this great struggle especial ly those now engaged in nonpro ductive work or in production of commodities which are luxuries more or less to consider employ ment on munitions as their next best service going overseas To urge Womens Emergency Corps to register women for muni lion or for work which will release men for the munitions industry There is no need to emphasize the importance of the highest possible production of munitions The Jives of mil
