Expected higher prices are responsible for the ceiling to be tacked on pears, peaches and plums when they hit the market. Stocks of canned fruits and vegetables, with exceptions like jams and jellies, were frozen on the nat- ional shelf just for the same reason the housewife leaves her cellar stock alone while taking advantage of the fresh stuff available. Cold and wet weather early this year killed off a lot of peach trees in eastern Canada; late spring hurt strawberry and rasp- berry crops. Blueberries were heavy but faced a labour shortage; cherries were poor. The Canadian total for apples will likely be down. The pear crop looks like 250,000 barrels less; prunes and plums only slightly off. Plans are being made, we are told, to see that some of the crops are canned, * * * Some people are irked with the news that Canada will not follow the U.S.A. in taking coffee off the ration list.
