SHARP RISE IN TEA PRICES' Faced with ruin due to appalling losses over thepast three years, tea - growers of Ceylon, India, Java and Sumatra have cut down. their exports 15% this year as compared with the peak years of '29 And '30. This re- striction has had the desired effect, and prices have risen sharply. Pack- ers of fine teas in Canada have been forced to increase prices, but as the average pound of good tea will make 250 -caps or ,more, it is still the cheap- est drink next 'to water itself oh,„„ }, cd m ii L a` Trot gEtr.5 ' Per Peund NAVY TOEIL s NEW SEASON'S FRU/TS DATES +;2 t A.

This was the 19th issue of the paper of which his father was the proprietor and founder. There are two articles in that issue that Were very interesting and we quote as follows: "Last week we took a drive through a part of Morris and Wawanosh, in the neighborhood of l3elgrave. We were agreeably surprised to find so many fine looking farms in that .lo- cality. The land is mostly gently rolling with a smooth surface. Many fields are clear of stumps, and in a few years more the crops may all be cut with the mower and reaper. The land seems to be of good quality, nei- ther too heavy nor too light.

' Quality of Storage Ice In reckoning the quantity of ice required to be stored against next year's hot season, a cubic foot of ice weighs 571 pounds. One ton of solid ice measures approximately 35 cubic feet. A •consumption of 2 cubic feet (115 pounds) per day for four mon- ths would amount, to nearly seven tans. Allowing for waste when stich a comparatively small body of iceis stored, a building of 10 feet srltiare and 10 feet high will afford amok.• !;pace for that quantity of ice, if it is carefully packed. Fifty pounds pet Iday for four months would amount Ito three tons. Allowing for waste, a i solid block of ice 6 feet s ogre and 6 Mrs. E.
