FOOD CONSERVATION
CAMPAIGN IN CANADA

WINNIPEG, Can. Jan. 2S.-War-
time food conservation campaigns in
the Canadian northwest have
changed the appetites of the people.
Hundreds Of tons of fish and game,
once deemed unfit as food, are being
consumed each month throughout
the dominion.
Whale and flatfish seem TO lead as
sea foods, while beaver and other
fur-bearing animals. hitherto en-
thought of as table delicacies, like
wise are given prominent places in
the food lists.
Whale meat, which failed 20 win
recognition in Canada until last
summer. is being sold by the ton
from Vancouver to Halifax. The
dominion food boards success in the
campaign to market Pacific flatfsh
is indicated by the official estimate
that 100000 pounds have been
consumed in six months. Fishermen
formerly threw away this fish.
Until 1919 trappers retained only
the pelts Of beavers. The Minnesota
campaign in behalf OF beaver flesh
as a food attracted attention in
Manitoba and hotels in this province
added beaver meat TO their menus.
Later someone discovered that
chickens went wild over beaver"
and resulting experiments indicated
that a diet OF beaver meat improved
the egg-laying qualities of hens in
cold weather.
Wild rice that grows in abundance
in the northern lake districts also
was ignored until American and
