JAN.. 9. tins THE APPLE BUSINESS. How a Colborne Grower Made It s Successful Season. The ap;.1e trade the past season was not a very remunerative affair fur many of our orchardists. So ter as we have heard Richard Jewell, of Colborne, di the elan who heads the list for being the most successful grower in this immediate neighbor- hood. With a prospectthie fall of over 1,200 bbrrels of good well -sprayed fruit growing in his three large orchards, he set about early in the seasao1)'coking for a market. 3s tbe usual number of buyers did not appear to make is hid for his fruit, it became his hitt y to hunt up a Market outside of Goderich. Early in the season a purchaeer• in Parry Sound sent a telegram augur. ing the prises of different grades and that was his opportunity. for the next morning he was toff to see that purcheaer personally.. As a result he effected a sale of 078 barrels at remunerative Prices and the fruit wee shipped from McGliw station early in November. The balance of hie crop, amounting to 583 barrels of winter fruit, he shipped on a venture in refrigerator cars no November 18th to North Bay, with the glass at 8 degrees below zero. His SOD William Went up as salesman and returned on the xird of December. The whole lot was disposed of at prices ranging from 12.50 to $3 and he could have sold many more at that figure. which left him a net of $1,101 after all expenses paid. the item of 38c per barrel being the heaviest expense. Altogether the barrels of fruit from his orchards numbered 1,23$. and Mr. Jewell considers tical the present year wee the most prosperous since he has been in the apple -growing business. Considerable oppotitioo was shown at North pa_y by the commission ?nen there, and they even got the inspector from Winnipeg to try to block the gales, hut th at official after inspection could find no cause for complaint. much to the disappointment of tbe commission mien, for they etpected to lay hold of the whole int at a low figure so as to sell them at their own prices of perhaps $5 to Hi per barrel• Mr. Jewell's venture is the fleet in- stance of which we heve heard t.1 a grower going off with his own fruit, and the success attending .the ezperi• ment will no doubt induce others to do the same another season, for the demand "out West" is practically un- limited. If our fruit can to placed on that market at a rate averaging $( to 33.50 per barrel, we could sell all that is raised bere, and instead of seeing the unpacked fruit still nn the trees. and going to waste as it is today in many orchards around Goderich it would be a source of revenue to tbe grower.

He was speaking atJ a luncheon given In his honor by the international Peace Forum. "I am willing and, indeed, 1 would be ashamed not to be willing," Bald the President, "to arbitrate any question with Great Britain to the construction of a treaty when we reach the exact issue which there Is between the two nations. There need not be any public doubt on that subject, so far as this Administration is con- cerned." The President's remarks were ap- parently prompted by a declaration In a speech by Henry Clews, the banker, istcr.;n;; that for Prea(.dent Taft'e Administration "to concede the right to arbitrate the difference would be a splendid achievement," but hold- ing that "we are in the wrong and would most likely be defeated 1f 1t should go to The Hague for decision."
