The ladies are very busy prepat,- ing for their bazaar on Saturday. AUBURN For the first time in many years the machinery in the evaporator at the foot of the big: hill at Auburn, lo silent. The reason is a scarcity of apples. The 'severe fr st of last o winter took a great toll of apple trees in this district. The crop here has been light and spotty. Any orchard that bore heavily last year was bad- ly winter killed. The evaporator here is owned by Chas. E. Asquith and has"been in operation for some 38 years, •but owing to the weeding out of so many orchards it may be permanently discontinued. This would mean that twenty or thirty. folk about the village and community would lack a couple of month's fall work. The principal 'market for ev- aporated apples from` here in former years has, been Europe but in recent year's Northern and Western Canada' have offered a ready market. Be- sides being need largely for house- hold consumption, evaporated apples are quite popular among the mining fraternity and nearly all prospectors include them in their outfit as they are light and will not.freeze. Last years winter killing and good prices this fall will tend to cause the farm- ers to take better care of their or- chards in future years. There are of course some .orchards, in the district which have been little damaged but they are 'few and far between. -Many of the frozen trees will serve as fire- wood during the coming winter. • Mr. and Mrs. John Manning, es- teemed s teemed residents of Auburn, cele- brated their diamond wedding, a very unique event and:an anniversary which few married couples ever reach.

Among many interesting stories told of olden times Mr. Manning re- counts how 'when his father took possession of the land which was to be their future home, ,there was only one tree chopped down on it. Seine man went to clear the land , felled one tree and when it crashed to the ground he said "this is no place for a white man," shouldered his axe and went back to Brantford. Until a place could be cleared, the father, mother and seven children lived in a one -room house for a year and a half. The first year they cleared ten acres and built a small sized log house. The mother wished herself back in England many tinter, but they kept on until finally they had a modern home. The trees were piled in heaps and burned to get rid of it. With the exception of a brok en arm and leg Mr. Manning was never confined to bed until a year ago, and that was only for a short time. They had three children, Mrs. 13. Mogridge, Auburn, J. E. Manning, London, and Mrs. W. Marsh, Carlow. There are four grandchildren, Mrs. B. Marsh, Auburn, Mrs. I. A.

CHRISTMAS TREE TRADE ORGANIZED The industry of shipping Christmas trees to the United States from the Maritime Provinces, started several years ago and the work of small indi- vidual buyers, has developed into• -an organized »business with hired opera- tors working out front offices at Truro, Moncton and Bridgewater. The Maritime offices are connected with a large Christmas tree concern in California, and early in November, huge trains will begin moving across a continent bearing their green em- blems of joy in flat cars piled high tvith firs taken from Eastern back yards, pasture lands and second - growth areas. Small farmers engaged in clearing their land will be affected most di- rectly by the new organization. The Christmas tree trade has liquidated hundreds of dollars in a single month for owners of land bearing suitable trees in past years, and with the in- dustry now organized they expect to double their former earnings. In addition to the new company, buyers from other parts of the Uni- ted States are expected to be work- ing itt the province. Millions of trees have been shipped from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in the last decade.
