Get ready. for resh fruits
During June, more of Ontario's
fresh fruits and vegetables arrive
on the market. Food specialists at
the Ontario Food Council,
.Ministry of Agriculture and Food,
suggest taking full advantage of
the fresh produce by eating it
often, and perhaps preserving
some for later in the year,
June brings fresh crops of
strawberries, asparagus, beets,
cabbage, lettuce and spinach.
Loco! F of A
Fresh Ontario strawberries ar-
rive about the second week of
June and last until about the
second week of July. Whether
buying them at the superinarket
or picking your own, choose red,
fully-ripened berries because
strawberries don't ripen once
they've been picked. Do not wash
or hull them until they are to be
used. For best flavor, use them
within three days.
. Asparagus will be available
into June because of recent
adverse weather conditions.
Ontario beets should be
available around mid-June until
frost. Look for clean, firm, smooth
beets free from blemishes. To
store thern, leave a one-inch stem
and hll roots attached and keep in
the refrigerator.
Ontario's early cabbage will be
available early to mid-June.
Choose a firm, head with crisp
leaves, that's heavy for its sie.
Both head lettuce and spinach,
favorite salad ingredients, will be
available from about' mid-June
until frost, Look for a heavy, firm,
crisp-textured head of lettuce
with a small core. Choose large,
fresh, dark-green ) slightly curly
leaves of spinach.
Always remember to look for
Ontario fresh produce. Good
things grow in Ontario.
Cranbrook church
has holy communion
Wants chain store inquiry
Mr. Hill cited the case of Sun
Parlour Co-op in Leamington,
-which has conformed to A & P
demands and received critisms
for it.
"In Toronto there have been
two murders of producers, said
Mr. Hill 'and there have been
rumours of involvment of the
Mafia in this".
No charges are to be laid over
the discounting practises,
according to the province, which
have been going on since 1972.
The Huron Federation sup-
ported the resolution after a
general discussion when Mem-
bers agreed that such practises
were not fair to producers all
over.
By Rhea Hamilton
A royal Commission into the
practises of large food chains is to
be encouraged by the Huron
Federation of Agriculture.
Former OFA president Gordon
Hill presented a resolution to the
Federation meeting Thursday
night in Seaforth requesting that
the Ontario Federation of Agri-
culture press for a Royal Commis-
sion to investigate the buying
ethics and discount practises of
food chains.
"The legislative committee in-
vestigating the situation now,
doesn't have the authority to .
demand witnesses to answer to
the charges and give in-
formation." said Mr. Hill. A royal
commission would have the
atithoruity to subpoena records
and witnesses.
The larger supermarket chains
have a practise of discounting a
P from the supplier's
cheques before payment. Costs
have been alloted to the
advertising portion for the pro-
duct or for shelf space devoted to
that 'product, Mr. • Hill said.. In
some cases as much as 20% has
been deducted.
