Gardiner, Minlater THE BRU$$SEI FOIST 8I EDII•lOfPiLS EAT MORE APPLES For the Canadian consumer the war is going to bring at least 0.10 blessing. It looks as if this count&T is finally to be assured of a chance to get a reasonable supply of firs class Canadian apples and that is certainly a history -making event, In reecnt years, Ontario =elk have found it almost ifl1J1 ssible to get nest of Ontario -grown apples because they were shipped to the L-iti.h market. There have been apples of sorts, run-ofthe-mtne stuff in Ontario stores, but as a rule toe particular customer who lenge1 foe a really line specimen of the Un- tario product had to go without. Semetines he was offe.ed in lie pl. .:e etsme attractively displayed fieetoaking British Columbia apples that suld just a little dearer than California oranges and failed to match the No. 1 Ontario apple for texture of fine flavor. This year thing, ere a bit differ- ent The market overseas is cut off and the good apples that used to be shipped out of the country a.e here for home consumption. The Dominion Government has moved to the rescue of the apple -growers by purchasing around two million bar- rels apples that under normal con- ditions wouldhave pone to the Brtt- 1st market and by ararnging a sales campaign, Ontario and Quebe: apples will be sold in those two provinces, British Columbia apples will have the right•at-way in the Prairie privinces and at certa n seasons an entry into Ontario and the Maritime rights will be reserved James McFadean Howict Metuai Flee Insurance —A!to— li .,:r1 W;ndstorm m,:rio Insurance •`.7mr.t3le Insurance 'Phe- •s 42 Sox 1, Turnberry St. i-us0Gls, Ontario D.

The discount against Can- adian money Is sure to send the prices of imported fruit soaring. We eau meet the situation by buy- ing more Canadian apples and keep- ing our dollars at home. FANCY WORK AT PLOWING A reader of the Post was much impressed by some of the 1ilew-ng he witnesseda few dare ago. He is not claiming the work was not as good as he could have scone, but he does not like the way they build up their early furrows. He puts it this way. "Lf a man were to go about his day's work like that he'd never get any place. If his fuIrows were lune he wouid have his clown more than built by the time they would have the kitchen towel dying from the back window to tell Dan to come 10 for dinner. When they go &beet Patting away at the first furrows as though they were masking mud pies they ate not doing anything with a plow, they are doing it with ther hands." 'i he beauty of that compaiat :s that it is well stated. it has some zest and zipp in it, and it probably states a feet from the angle of the farmer making the complaint. But his objection is old enough to vote. it was tasking its way around be - tire tractors wet e heard of, We believe there is some good impose served 'uy allowing the at. ranging of the first tew furrows It that any defects may be covered. tris one way of gettitiy off to a nit,: start, and It is a little something ed.;ed in the way of showmanship, and that is what a Sr•ow}ug i}l:bt18, if our farmer plaiintitl' were gua}g 13 tulle a nice work ho:a.eto the l.,ir he would net go and pick tum' out et the stall or lead t;- !>s:tare and oft to ti.e show. .:c' by a lung shot, Chances are he and his eon and the hired 111011 w.,a:d have that horse under some seat of beauty treatment for sat- eral days in advance.

A bit 01 that somethltig extra is what a plowing mated. needs, . It, gives those who like to complain WHEAT WILL MOVE :viore a our Canadian wheat is ge- ing to the British market, 'Cite fact that this moveaneut has .been stapled .for oeven weeks has been causing a deal of anxiety in ship• ping etretes and probably to the members of the Wheat Board, Meanwhile our wheat has been pil- ing up at lakehead and in elevtnrs across the West, A 'few days age the railway companies announced they were not going eo move more wheat as they had o give space and service to the shipment of coarse grains, There are probably diplomatic reasons why Britain has been buy- ing her wheat elsewhere for a tim- ber of weeks. Access to the vein able British market may have been a deciding factor in shaping trade policies! which would keep other goods from failing into the hands of the enemy. That has mot been definitely stated but 1s regarded as a possibility, The movement of Canadian wheat will relieve a situation which was becoming serious enough for a country which has In storage about 400;000,000 bushels. The shipping season 011 the Great Lakes is no, far removed. from its last days of the 1039 season, and the six weeks' or more cessation of British buying may be something which willl not be easily made eight as far as handling and shipping are con- cerned. n'lt Reports About Red Cross Absolutely False Letter in Globe and Mail Whether train lack of knowledge or from malice aeorethought, a dan- gerous report, which was circulated (latinu the Great War, has again lifted its ugy, lying head. This re- port is to the effect that the Red Cass Society, instead of giving to the soldiers alt the front articles which have been donated, sada these to them. This report is abse- letely false, The Red Cross Society is an auxiiary of the Army Medical Corps, a Government department. and it would not be possible far them to sell any of the articlee donated In peacetime or wal'- time all Red Cross atricles are free - :y given 'without money and without price. if any organization seri t anything to the soldiers at the. front it is not the Red Cross S.i'l- ety. In this connection I have ',een asked to publish the following "First: The Red Cross Society does not ask for ,nor do they re- ceive any money for articles made and distributed to either soldiers 01 civilians. This applies to all work done in the Red Cross workrooms. and also to all donations of knitting and sewing that are sent in to them in either peace -time or war- time.
