Description: This summer issue's articles consist of an apiarist's perspective on beekeeping, shipping bees in combless packages, the need for nutritious whole-wheat flour, preparing food economically, soil fertility based on soil colour, and that contaminated water cause's typhoid. Three articles offer suggestions for exhibiting fruit, propagating and harvesting foodstuffs, and tips on wildlife photography. There are two allegorical short stories, one on dishwashing, and the other regarding an O. A. C. education. Also a wartime short story on the monotony of training camp. Campus news reports on a new course in road construction, and an appeal for men for the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infantry. Alumni news contains alumni news of the war, obituaries, and a military letter. This issue does not contain a Macdonald column.
