growers of 'Ontario,

place a qualified man in London to
handle all such shipments in the fu-
ture. This official will be vested with
full authority to re -direct such ship-
ments to points where the market is
most advantageous. Lack of such
control in the past had resulted in
fruit being Iplaced''on the market when
there was little or no demand for the
product. The Minister announced that
the government was looking 'fol• a
qualified man to handle such work in
the interests of the farmers, pointing
out that it would greatly stimulate
