Seed Grain CleaningMIDDLESEX, HURON SHIPPING MUCH HONEY Nearly Quarter Million Pounds Ex­ ported to U.S. in Recent Months Nearly one-quarter of a million pounds of honey, representing 80 per cent of the (combined produc­ tion of Middlesex and Huron Coun­ ties, has been shipped to"' Great Bri­ tain during the past fall and win­ ter, according to an announcement just made public through the lo­ cal office of the fruit and vege­ table division of the. Dominion De­ partment of Agriculture. The last shipment of the year left this district on March 12 and department officials asked • that the information not be published until it could be presumed that the consignment had arrived safely in England. Some 24)8,296 poun.ds, of honey were shipped directly from the district and certified through the (local office. Another consign­ ment of approximately 40,000 pounds produced in Middlesex and Huron twas shipped overseas from Toronto, Shipments began on September 5 last year and have continued un­ til three weeks ago. So far as is known by the department all ship­ ments reached England safely. Last spring a Shipment from H. O. White, of Glanworth, one of the largest pro­ ducers in the district, was damag­ ed when the ship it was on limped into harbor after an attack by Ger­ man bombers. * iProduction in 1940 was esti­ mated to be 40 per cent below the 1939 total, when export shipments to Britain totalled 47,000 pounds. The Middlesex and "Huron district Is among the largest honey produc­ ing areas in Ontario.
