Thursday that tbe Liberal party in the

unworthy and a baeelaee insinuation.

The Government has provided oold

city for action on their part if they wish
to receive a fair amount of the profit iu,
growing apples and other produce.
In 1900 1110 estimated that Huron Co,.
lost in apples alone $100,000 and annually
looses a large sum. They oan practically
insure against such loss by owning a
storage plant of their own, situated where
it oan easily be reached. —
Besides the above a most modern plabt
is to be erected for handling All kinds of
poultry, receiving them alive, killing,

The entire County of Huron will be
enlivened and the tributary townships

farmer to identify himself with the con-
