The new addition will be a one-story building 42 x 144 ft. It is hoped to have the new iilant in operation by the first of November and turnips, carrots, cabbages and potatoes will be pro­ cessed this fall. Canadian Canners have been steadily branching out in­ Exeter and this latest move should mean additional labour and addi­ tional revenue for the farmers. Owing to the shortage of early fruits, last week Canadian Canners took the initiative in harvesting wild elderberries and shipping them to their Hamilton plant for the making of jams. We understand it is the first experiment of its kind in Canada and was undertaken at the suggestion of Mr. L. J. Penhale, of town, district superintendent. In Stephen Township there is a farm estimated at one hundred acres with the elderberries growing wild and in, great profusion and it is from this farm that most of the berries have been picked, The pickers have been paid at the rate of two cents per pound and. in some instances they have made handsome returns for the day’s work. One lad is reported to have made twelve dollars in one day. W’e understand that over thirty tous have been salvaged. on Bank of Montreal Build- Tabled for further considera- Conerete Pipe Co., re large Clerk to reply. that done the EXETER COUNCIL *The regular meeting of the Muni­ cipal Council of the Village of Exeter was held in the Town Hall on Tuesday, Sept. 7tli, with the Reeve and all Councillors present.
