Of Interest and Prot to the
farmer.
The Huron County Peaking & Oold.
storage Co,, wibb headquarters et Oligton,
have seamed W.' R. Belden to take charge
of the fioanoial end of the Company for
the present.
The aim with thisconcern • is to ace
complish. ea much with apples, poultry'
end produce as has already been done in
the hog trade with this exception, it will
do business entirely for the benefit of its
ehareholdere, whioh out easily be done
on the plane they are adopting.
Nearly all the apples grown in Huron •
County the past season were purchased
at around 52 00 per barrel. They are in
storage in Toronto and oan'-be sold, and
aro being sold out daily, et $4 50 per bar-
rel. Bach year farmers sell their apple
Drop for one half what it should bring
simply because they have no means of
keeping them.
The Government has provided gold
(dotage for fruit while in tranfet and re-
peatedly points out to farmers the neces-
sity for motion on their part if they wish
to receive a fait amount of the profit in
growing apples and Mbar prodeoe.
In 1900 it is estimated that Huron Co.
lost in apples alone 5100,000 and annually`
looses a Targe sum. They can practically
insure against such loss by owning a
storage plant of their own, situated where
it oan easily be ranched.
Beside( the above a most modern plant
is to. be emoted for handling all kinds of
poultry, receiving them alive, killing,
dressing and orating them as the market'
demands.
The entire County of Huron will be
oanvaesed and the tributary townships
and an opportunity will be given each
farmer to identify himself with the gen•
earn. If ho desires •$1.00 more per barrel
than lie now reoaivae this will be his time
to theme for it. It would bo well for all
farmers to bear in mind the one fact that

John Roger, P. L, B., of Mitohell, has
been appointed by the Alma Council to
make; a report on the division of the
54,000 received lately from the ,Ontario
Government, to be applied for improve-
ments of the South branoh of the Malt-
land River, in Elma and Grey. It is to
be divided among the municipalities in
proportion to theft aseeeement • for said
River improvements. This $4,000 was.
planed in the estimates about four years
ago by the Government through the in-
fluence of James Diokson, Warden' of the
County of Perth, who was Reeve of Elma
at the time the solieme was inaugurated,
ably seconded by John Brown, M. P. P.;
for North Perth.
The estimated cost of river improve-
ment was about 58,000. The aotual cost
was within the estimate, therefore the
parties assessed will receivebeak just
about half of their aseeeement.
There are parts of six, municipalities'
assessed for -this -work, namely, Elma,
Mornington, Ellice, Logan, Milverton and
Grey. Upon notification of the oomple.
tion of work by the Elma Council, the
Ontario Government immediately sent
Mr. Fairburn, a departmental engineer,
to inspect the improvements made to the
river, and teethinga favorable report
from Mtn, the .Provincial Treasurer paid
the $4,000 to A 181, Sweeton, Treasurer,
of Elma;.who placed it in the Imperial'
Bank, Listowel, until it is divided'amonet
