PERRY | Sugar Provision for Farm Workers In order to meet a difficulty that was being experienced in farm house- holds, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board announced on July 156th that merchants may 'accept purchase vouchers from farmers' wives or ~ other pefsons who are feeding har- vest workers, such 'as thresher gangs, fruit pickers or other groups. Formerly, sugar for the meals of such transient boarders had to be supplied from the domestic ration of the household, unless brought by the workers themselves, which in actual practice usually means there was a deficiency. The remedy now author- ized is adoption of the same procedure as in drawing sugar for home preserv- ing. Effective from July 16th, the merchant is permitted to honour. a purchase voucher (without the neces- sity of its signer being tied to one supplier) if it shows: (1) the words "harvest workers"; (2) the number of them, and (3) the number of days' work for which they are being sup- plied with sugar. On the line provided for stating the kind of institution or business, the applicant should write, for example, "five harvest workers; four days". The voucher must be signed, of course, by the person making the purchase. oo oP How Ensilage Functions in Silo In order to understand why certain precautions are necessary in ensilage legumes, it is useful to know just how the ensilage process, functions. When green crops are placed in an air tight silo under ideal conditions for ensilagé, the plants continue to live for a certain length of time. They continue to "breathe or respire. This results in the generation of heat and uses up some of the oxygen which is left in the silo mass. Later, while there is still some air left, the ac- tivities of the lower forms of life such as moulds, yeasts, and bacteria in- crease. In good silage, moulds and »¥ yeasts function only for a few hours because the oxygen supply is soon ex- hausted. In very dry crops, more air is present and moulds develop to a greater extent. Bacteria play an important. part in the ensilage process. The desirable types which are found in good silage are capable of living in a limited sup-, ply of air. They act on the sugars found in crops and convert them into organic acids such as lactic; acid and acetic acid. As these acids develop in suflicient quantity, they in turn de- stroy the bacteria which produce them or sect up conditions in which the bac- teria cannot develop. A state of equilibrium is thus reached and the silage will keep in this pickled or pre- served state for a considerable length of time. Corn is an ideal medium for the development of the ensilage pro- cess because it contains relatively large amounts of sugar for the forma- tion of organic acids. This is why corn has become such a popular silage crop. It can be made into good silage with ordinary care. But although legumes and young grass are more difficult to ensile be- cause they contain relatively little sugar and are comparatively high in protein, good silage can be made of these crops without the use of pre- servatives, important in view of the present in- possibility of obtaining molasses on account of the war, and just how this ean be done is fully explained in the Special Wartime Series Pamphlet, No. 66, "Making Grass and Legume Silage Without Preservatives". A copy of the. pamphlet 'may be obtained by 'writing to the Publicity and Extension Division, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, or to the Agri- cultural Representative, . Uxbridge. BE ---- PP Faith in Britain a New York Times Editorial Now, at this moment, when the fate of Egypt hangs in the balance, and Mr. Churchill tells the House of Com- mons that these are "times of mortal peril," let us reaffitm our faith in British courage, British endurance, This fact is particularly. British honor, times, let us give thanks for three years of steady courage and uncom- plaining sacrifice on the part of the British people. Now, in a dark hour, let us be both generous enough and realistic enough to recognize that without that courage and that_sacri- fice our own position would be far more perilous than it is today. TT -- Now, above all other, "in supporting a large force overseas; blems of shipping and supply involved the desirability of maintaining in one place a great enough aggregation of striking power to hit a successful blow when the moment is ripe for an in- vasion of the Continent of Europe; above all, the imperative necessity of holding the British Islands as a firdt line defense and attack against Hitler. "| We in the United States, whose se- Of what does Britain stand accused curity depends, on the safety of the in this flood of easy criticism that has followed the swift collapse of General Ritchie's North African campaign and the stunning series of reverses that has sent a British Army: reeling' back into the valley of the Nile? The! charges are familiar enough. eastern gates of the Atlantic World, surely have no cause for regret that the first consideration of the British people has been to make certain of that safety. Finally, there is the third stage-- They' that the British were caught napping are heard on every side, in casual con. |i in North Africa, as they were in versation everywhere, are accused of "lacking an aggressive fighting spirit". The British are ac- cused of keeping too many men at home instead of sending them to the fighting fronts. They are accused of making once more the same costly mistakes they made in Malaya aid again in Burma: the mistakes of un- derestimating the enemy's strength and mismanaging their own campaign. The first of these accusations rests largely on the testimony of several American correspondents who have been with the British armies in North Africa. It is evidence which cannot be denied a hearing; but it is evidence which does not jibe with the reports of other correspondents, with the reports ~of these same correspondents when the British had Rommel on the rum, with the exploits of the Commandos, with the superbly 'aggressive spirit of the RAF, or with the tremendous popular clamor in Britain for the opening of a second front in Europe. The second charge, that too many men have been kept at home in the British Isles, has 'the proof of exper- fence behind it. . What would Mr, Churchill not have given, these last few days, to have had a larger part of the British Army and its equipment in Egypt and a smaller part in the British Isles! But it is another thing to accuse the British, as some Amer- icans critics now do so willingly, of timidity or over-caution, Various im- portant factors must be taken into consideration: the tremendous pro- The Britishr Burma and Malaya; that they failed to make the best possible use of their equipment, and that their .political leaders made the mistake of leading public opinion into a too optimistic appraisal of the situation, The charge is undeniable. Bad errors'of judgment seem clearly to have been made by the command at home, and bad errors of strategy by the generals in the field. But let us remember that democracies must' apparently learn lessons of this kind more slowly than nations that live by the sword; and let us not for- get our own record in matters of this kind. To accuse the British of failing to take adequate nieasures against surpr ise attacks is a charge that we can ill afford to make in view of what liappened to us at Pearl Harbor, and again in the Philippines, where an in- ddequate' American air force was| knocked out in the first series of at- tacks. Moreover, we cannot in fairness ignore the effect of our own Pearl Harbor and Philippine disaster on the British problem of defending Egypt, Burma and Malaya, --- Our losses at Pear] Harbor forced us to divert war- ships from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and thereby forced the British to put in the Atlantic ships which previously had been in the Mediterranean--to the great advantage of Rommel's line lof supply. The loss of the Philippines-- knocked out of the war as an offensive base long before the final surrender of Bataan -- immediately: placed Sing- apore in jeopardy. It is not too much WE DELIVER ue 2 ¥ \ W RY NE Vi NE 0 Ww to say that the defense of Singapore, and therefore of Malaya and Burma, was predicted primarily upon the con- ception of immense American naval strength at Hawaii and an American flank in the Philippines. So much for the debit side of Britain's record. As for the credit side: Who can doubt that Hitler would not be undisputed master of all Europe, instead of still fighting a war of which he cannot see the end, if the stout-hearted men and women of the British Islands had not been ready to carry on the fight in the dark days following the defeat of France? Who can doubt that Hitler would now be ruling, with his Oriental partner, over the destinies of Furope,' Africa and Asia, if Britain had not held the line? Britain, alone, stéod in the breach in the dark year 1940. British resis- tance, alone, gave our people time to arm, British courage and British faith carried democracy through its darkest days and laid the foundation for what has now become the edifice of twenty- eight United Nations; Another reverse which could have been avoided has overtaken a British Army. But let us not make this the occasion for a field day of too easy criticism. Let us, instead, salute a brave people who for more than two years held the fort for us--a brave people who still have endurance, faith and tremendous reserves of unused power. To the end of the road we shall go together, staunch allies in a winning cause.
