ed vegetables, and offered as an ex-
planation for this that there was
greater profit in handling imported
carrots and cabbage. The Markets
Branch of the Ontario Department
of Agriculture has pointed out that
the added revenue from the handling
of these imported goods comes from
the consumer's readiness to pay a
considerable premium for imagined
values. Recent investigations show
that the Ontario carrots and 'cab-
bage that have been stored under
proper conditions have, pound for
pound, food values equal to those
supplied by the imported vegetables.
Ontario shoppers are being warned
by the Department of Agriculture
that in purchasing imported carrots
and cabbage they are paying three
times the amount of money needed
to obtain equal vegetable food val-
ves.

eliminated from farming where the

each district and an executive com-
mittee, with power to appoint com-
mittees to study and deal with pro-
blems. Registration of all commer-
cial fruit and vegetable growers is
suggested so that they must place
their registered number on all pack-
ages they market. Licensing and
bonding of all shippers, truckers and
commission men is recommended as
well as the establishment of sales
promotion offices in Western Can-
ada and in Quebec and the Mari-
times during the selling season.
Other recommendations are as fol-
lows: That surveys be made each
season of crop conditions and the
sales possibilities of the markets;
that Government assistance be given
in establishing central packing
plants and cold storage or pre -cooling
facilities; that by-product research be
made into the commercial possibilities
of the disposal of low grade fruits and
vegetables; that steps be taken to
prevent the marketing of immature
fruit and vegeta'bles; that the collec-
tive purchase of fertilizers and other
supplies be fully canvassed; and that
