It is estimated that there will be in the neighborhood of 50,000 barrels of apples in Huron county alone. While, tars immense crop may not all ’be packed in bar­ rels the greater amount of it will be, which means that a great many barrels will be needed. -Mr. W. Sim­ mons, of Goderich has a gang of ex­ pert barrels makers at work at dif­ ferent points, rushing the work in order to have the barrels ready for the pickers when wanted. In.

The Boys’ great success, there but on account of only 12 exhibitors. Oliver Wright, statement: “Taking the immediate'pre-war hundred as a base of 100, the ■price index of all commodities now stands at 102. The prices paid by farmers for the-commodities-they buy now stand at 127. The index of fax-m prices is now 75 and runs as low as 54 in the case of grains. Putting all these figures together one arrives at the figure of ’59 which represents the ratio of prices received to prices paid. The farmer’s relative purchasing power today (measured by pre-war standards) is 59 per cent, of what it should be. This explains most oif the farm distress, the curtailment of farm living standards, the 'breakdown ixx normal buying of farm machinery and the living off capital. True, farmers have had some measure of prosperity during arid following the war. Between 1914 and 1920 the index of relative farm purchasing power ranged ibetween 95 and 118—‘the peak yeax , 1917, showing it to be just double the .present figure. In the meantime, industrial wages have advanced and held most of their advance. Industrial wages, despite a ten per’ cent, average drop since 1929, still-stand at 107 per cent, of pre-war figures, while the farmer’s ’’wages” has been cut 41 per cent.’ *♦*»**•* WHERE? The following is a clipping from a news item dealing with the securing of farm produce for the relief of stricken areas in the west: "Farmers are willing to donate goods, but are somewhat unwill­ ing to donate the time necessary to do the loading, Mr. Fuller said. The man who gave the trackload of apples was 70 years old, un­ able to load them himself,” No. the farmers are not “unwilling” to help in loading food for the relief of anyone. But they’re busy, very busy, specially busy about work that simply must ibe done and done now or it can’t be done. silo is a Anyone who knows anything about farm plowing or about filling knows that. Saying that farmers afe unwilling to help needless slur and it is resented accordingly. But where are the unemployed in the cities that they should "donate the time necessary to- do the loading” of food designed Anyone who knows not for the relief of their brother mfen-in distress? the first thing about the farmer these days knows that lie is In a decidedly tight financial corner. Only a. very .small percentage of them can afford to pay anything for labor, Why, then, should they bo snubbed because they, do not leave emergent work that only experienced men can do to do work that the unemployed may do quite well?
