he quickly saw that it 1Vt15 the retail

froul11i `

price. In order to illustrate this fact
to the gentleman, I stated that beans
bad only 10170111011 a cd considerably, on
the close of aha old crop, owing to
the scarcity and heavy demand when
the war broke out. Previous to that,
beaks were only al it normal price of

when 1: showed lune figures to 00rivince
Idol of this fact, he readily saw
through it. Ile figured that if beans

tailer at even 5c per, ib. it was the
cheapest article of food produced, and
1 lb of f h e' ass would go farther than
ant thing else lie could mention. 1'ile

I then started back on my return

Arrow and Kootenay Lakes, which
was certainly the grandest scenery
anyone could desire and everybody.

this grand climate. •'1 found on
my arrival at Nelson, which was
my first stop, thatat here againfruit
t
was abundant, in 13101 all the canning

They were certainly
putting

On my return through this part cif

While the .north end' of Saskatchewan

no complaints t0 ,make about Crops,
in
fact from Saskatoon eon in to l

Irb, they are going more into mixed

Now as to the outlook for beans,
which h
may he of some interest to
farmers in 111171011 countyt
ti �
nIwo
old
like to give some pointers, As you
will note on my previous remarks on
beans, they are the cheapest article
of food 011 the list to -clay and the
consumption of same here in tits west
alone will be at least double that of
Previous yeses, and this is accounted
for as follows„ From Sept. 1912 to
Sept. 1013, the receipt of Domestic
beans in New York city was approx-
imately 380,000 bags, and 320,004 01
Rtlropcian beans. Now, where is that
European gap to.bc filled up 1.
For the past ilir • • years there has
been as mally7' or 1l1 C Austrian beans
Y
used in' the west t an Canadian beans
for that abet people out Here sinipl}r
became disgusted with Canadian
stock, arid turned to European beans
so this is our chanes, to get it back.
I have scan several samples of new
crop pea
beans, Canadian dian
st ct
here
e
,' return, on n y eat n, and must say that up
to the present ti e the best beans
camp from Huroii county,. With the
heavy demand now starting in here,
the farmers in Ilur011 county have no
reason to sell their ;beans c
heap, as
Irons li the
present outlook, the price
will advance aboio pres6111 basis, in
fact we know of beans being offered
now Neal the Ilonsall district, at
fully 10c to 150 less than 'they aro of-
fering from lee
t county' ,l
ct.
Consequently, it would not take long
to use all the beans du Huron county,
and then the Kent county, farmers,
knowing the .situation as it exists,
arc not anxious to sell, as 1tlleypkno v
it will be may a clatter of a few
months when -they will realise hotter
prices for their- beans, I siniply,give
out this information for the benefit
of the Huron County farmers,. se that
they will not be anxious to unload
too quick,
Now, lir, Mitchell, if you see 'fit,
you can publish what y00 think is
intemsting enough in pout: paper, as I
should 11113 the Iluron farmers to be
posted on the bean situation, as there
will be a great quantity used this
year, 11 may be in the course of a
month or so I will be east and np at
Cldnton.
With kindest regards to }tour good
self, and -all friends inY our district.

like to give some pointers, As you

beans, they are the cheapest article

consumption of same here in tits west
alone will be at least double that of
Previous yeses, and this is accounted
for as follows„ From Sept. 1912 to
Sept. 1013, the receipt of Domestic
beans in New York city was approx-
imately 380,000 bags, and 320,004 01
