In Britain an egg 0n the brggikiafl plate has been a rarity, but the Cam- adian hen is to come to the rescue. And 1t is s fine biddy.

T)" Dominion Agriculture Department sm- nounces that the British FOOG Minis-ll?’ has ogre-rd to purchase from Canada in I943 up ffl nine thousand long tons of dried egg powder -- equivolem so 63,000,000 dosen eggs.

There is every reason to believe, says an ex- change, zhat the contract with the British Food lylinistr will be met in full, and that even more eggs will be available if necessary. According to the Canada Year Book logo, the exports of Canadian eilqs to the United ingdom, the Uni- m! $1 m; 1nd other countries totalled 1,383,830 dozen.

A new testing guage, called the Audimcter, is to be introduced in r943 by National advertisers to check the listeners on radio advertising pro- grammes. The gauge makes a graphic record on tape of the times the receiving set in which it is installed is turned on and off, and the station to \VillCl1 it is tuned. From installations already in operation, the inventors, A. C_ Nielsen Co., Chi- cago, have learned thatthe decline from Winter to Summer listening is gradual; lower income homes listen less during day-time than formerly, while uppq income homes listen more in the evening. Other discoveries are that there is a sudden drop in audience after s star says good- night, leaving the commercial to be heard by few; the slump of s. week programme coming betivecn two strong programmes; and the fact that constant listeners are few, only about S per cent of the audience hearing s radio serial more than 8 of the 1o times it is broadcast over a four-

Unfavorable weather conditions drop in honey production of I6 r cent coin- paired with the r941 erop of a7 7,000 pomids. e reports said this year's crop was one of the smallest in the put decade. About 95 per cent of yield has been marketed at prices averaging 1.7 cents per pound higher than paid for the I941 output. A preliminary estimate laced value this year at $3,059,900. Ontario, anitoba, At- berte and Quebec reported decreases in roduc- tion, partly offset by increases in the aritime Provinces, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. Average yield was only 56 pounds per hive com- pared with 67 pounds in I94! and s, long-term average yield of 70 pounds.

To a. male watching the imminent approach of meatless days one of the most disturbing elements in the preparation is the frenzied search for meat substitutes.

A good many of these have probably come out of newspapers and magazines. and the pubiiéiera will have to snare the blame when men folk sit down in their homes to fake their chances with the new menus.
