Manning Doherty in the course of a conference with the members of the Fruit Committee ~jt Legislature and officials of the Dairy Branch of the Department of Agriculture. The Fruit Committee has, of course, been devoting itself primarily to the development of cold storage racuities for the storage of apples, but the possibility of using these cold storage warehouses for cheese, particularly during the summer months, when they are not needed for apples Iras turned the members to the problem of advancing the interests of Ontario cheese in the British market. At the present time Ontario cheese goes forward to the British market cften without being kept at all and as a result it depreciates In quantity and loses weight. On the other hand, Danish and New Zealand cheese must be kept in cool storage for at least two weeks before it can be sent forward. From time to time efforts have been made in Canada to encour-the cooling and storing of cheese a, period, but while it has done in some places, the practi it been followed generally enough to have a recognized value Seek Federal miction At the conference yesterday it was ■cognized that any legislative .ken would have to come from the Dominion, and steps will be taken bring the matter before the Federal uthorities. There are two ool-ftoring cheese, one by utilizing cold storage warehouses and the other ' ' additions to cheese factories sulated rooms where;, the cheese mid be stored and cooled timated yesterday that s tion would not cost more than lout $500. :■■ There was some difference of opin n in the conference as to the ad sabili.ty of compulsion. It has been practised in other <conntries but might be difficult to enforce here. The alternative would be Government action to assist in providing facilities. The warehouse at Brighton purchased by the Government) for Its ex» pertinent in cold storage of apples is now being fitted with cooling equipment and will be ready for business within another three or four weeks.

The quantity of cheese made in factories in 2920 was 149,521,008 pounds, a decrease of 16,900,863 from the previous year. The total value of the cheese made in 1920 was $39,087,937, and the average price per pound cents. The average price in 1919 was 26y2 cents. The quantity creamery butter produced in Canada in 1*80 was 110,030,399 pounds, increase over the previous year 6,139,692 pounds. The total value of creamery butter produced in 1920 was $62,306,794, an average per pound of 56% cents. The average price for the year 1919 was 54 cents. The steadiness of the price of these commodities is a factor that is worth noting. Grains and other products experienced substantial drops < pared to the above. The dairy industry and mixed farming may yield slower returns, but its average sure and safer.

The defendant In addressing the jury in an automobile damages case at the general sessions in Barrie last week. Judge Vance said motorists have no right to assume that because they toot their horn everybody walking on the road has to get out on the way. Ped-estrains have some rights, and even those who are deaf are privileged to cross the street. The party first on the ground has the right of way, and if a motor car catches up to him, it is up to the driver to see that an accident does not occur. The jury took the same view of the case as the Jii'dge and awarded damages of $1,000 for the plaintiff. The Rev.
