WHY CANADIAN HOMES
SHOULD BURN OUR OWN
CANADIAN COAL?
In view of the fact that a number
of local students are about to enter
the Essay Contest ori "Why Canadian
Homes Should Burn Canadian Clear
simmered by the Produced -in -Canada
Committee with the support of the
Ontario Department of Education
and Premier Ferguson, The Post will
publish a series of three specially
written articles on the subject,
They contain a great deal of very
valuable information and offer an
excellent foundation of facts for any
one preparing to make a study of the
subject.
The contest is open to bona fide
students of high schools and collegi-
condition. Canada is very much like
a gentleman with a yeller full of his
iownega!---which cost him nothing to
begin with—who goes next door and
buys coal for his furnace from his
,ueighbor and uses this instead.

wan and Manitoba all use it and the
winters there are very much more
severe than they are here, Alberta
has, in fact, 14 per cent of all the
known coal deposits of the entire
world.
This coal is of all classes and kinds
varying from what is known as brown
lignite to anthracite, which is the
hard coal used for domestic purposes.
Alberta, moreover, has mines als

So the freight rate is the stumb-

impossible for the .people of Ontario
to use Canadian coal. But that is a
problem for which the members of
Parliament in Ottawa are trying to
find a solution and rather outside of
the present discussion of "Why Can-
adians Should Burn Canadian Coal?"

results—the ways in which it would
increase Canadian prosperity—if we
were able to use Canadian -mined coal
in Ontario.)

Diseases of Fruits
in Storage
Fruit diseases may be classified
roughly into orchard and storage
troubles. Storage diseases alone
take a serious toll each year, Ithus
reducing the supply of an exceedingly
valuable food and thereby increasing
its cost to the consumer. \ In the
Maritime Provinces and British Col-
umbia where transportation figures
prominently in the fruit industry, it
is largely uponistorage principles that
fruits arrive at their destination in
a sound and acceptable condition.
