THE HURON CANNING & EvAPORA-
TIM:CO. (D. F. HAMLIM ,.
Replying to yours of the 5th re the
' Huron Canning & Evaporating Co.'s
business the past year, I might say that
. 1 have put up 2,000 cases of canned fruits
and vegetables.
1 have employed from thirty-five to
forty' hands during my busy season and
have nos, at the present time, twenty-
five employed. Have paid out during
the past year between 36,000 and *7,000.
As for business for this coining season
it is difficult to say. as it all depends up-
on the crops of fruits and vegetables. also
the labor question, but 1 am arranging
to double our output if produce and
labor can be secured.

Our business last year was not quite as
extensive as the previous year. from the
fact that we were not making shell loxes.
except for a part of the year only. We
did a very lair business, however. con-
sidering the fact that the building trade
was very quiet. and what business was
done in this line was mainly replace-
ments and repairs, as very little new con-
struction was undertaken.
We have had from sixty-five to seventy
employes and have been working full
time. (Sur sages at the present time
amount to about *3,600 per month.
which is alien a fair average for the past
year.
We are having a good demand for our

conditions seem to be a little better than
they are in the East, and we expect that
this condition may exist throughout the
balance of 1918.

AN INTERESTING DEBATE. -The most
interesting feature/of the Colborne Farm-
ers' Club (U. F. 0.) meeting at the
emperance Hall, Benmiller, last Thurs-
dlty night was a debate on the subject:
"Resolved. that farming interests would
be more benefited by representation than
by recognition." The aflirmative was
ably upheld by Miss Helen Stewart and
Mrs. A. M. Straughan and the negative
by Messrs. Lawson and Clutton of Lee -
burn. The judges. Mr. Gordon Young.
Reeve of Colborne. Mr. H. K. Revell, of
the Goderich township Farmers' Club,
and Rev. P. S. Banes. gave their decision
in favor of the negative by a close mar-
gin. Some points brought out in the de-
bate were: Agriculture, the basic in-
dustry of Canada, is not adequately rep;
resented in Parliament, only thirty
out of 230 M. P.'s being farmers and
these divided on party lines. Farmers
themselves are not united upon an ag-
grewsive and progressive agricultural
policy -put partisanship before the
larger interests of the corununity. In-
crease in prices of (arm implements and
machinery due to the protective tari ff. ;
increase in wages and decrease in farm
help owing to preference given to manu-
facturers. Farmers "dictated to" by
"arm -chair politicans" re taxation, legis-
lation, education. etc., rather than hav-
ing initiatory part therein. No one to
blame for this but themselves. injustice
to farmers in not being able to fix and
control prices of their own products.'
wages, etc., as manufacturers and other
industrial and pmfcesional men do. An
industry or profession is never higher LS
than the intellectual and moral statue of
its individual members. Warren. as well;as
men. have attained recognition through
merit and industry and perseverance I =
rather than through representation. Ad-
vance in reforms, e. g., temperance, due
more to recognition of organization and
common interest than to representation.
Farming class lacking in originality. ini-
tiative and progressiveness. Class dis-
tinction and antagonism not to he fostered SII
at expense of the larger interests of the
!country and ideals of true democracy.
Self -complacency and ignorance of farmers
re their real needs and possibilities for
improvement.- hence representation
is not really representative of
the opinions of the class. Representation
does not develop general ability. The
natural development of influence is from
the smaller to the larger whole, from the
local to the provincial and the national,
from the individual to the general. Farm-
ers must know their own abilities re-
quirements and possibilities for improve-
ment before they can expect public recog-
nition and benefit by larger and more
equable representation. Representatives
really the tools of the organizations behind
them. Real power remains in the latter.
Farmers may regulate and in large
measure control prices and wages through
co-operation for wholesale and retail
trade. Farmers receive recognition and
credit from the banks, express and rail-
