Dejnand for Asparagus
From information gathered
the Ontario Grower’s Markets
Council, a strong demand by the
canners for asparagus is anticipated.
It is understood that the market for
canned asparagus has shown a
isteady expansion wtih the result
■that an increase in. the pack is to be
looked for.
The Council is of the opinion that
13c. per pound will constitute a (fair
l^rice for the 1932 crop. Various
canning companies are now endeav
oring to secure contracts but no ef
fort has been made to set the price.
Some growers have undertaken de
livery on the promise of the can
ning companies to pay prevailing
onarket price, but efforts to have the
manners indicate their opinion as to
constitute a fair market
failed.

to refuse1 a'aeep'tance of fertilizer
which is not labelled precisely the

reason to doubt the value of a fer

a Women's institute which utilizes
local -talent to very good purpose at
the regular monthly educational

They provide wholesome social op

of the communities which support

were sent by an Institute in Old On

the Great War touched every heart
and brought tears to many eyes as
he portrayed the various touching
scenes, particularly the “homecom

spellbound. “Beautiful Snow” which
is really a sermon in itself, describes
the fall of a beautiful young woman
and her early untimely death.
Among her possessions was found
this poem, in which, she compared
her wayward life to the snow all
soiled and dim and ends with a pray

“O God, wash me and

Whiter than snow.”
This number was given

its presentation.
