PHONE 4 ' Early last fall two trial shipments of Niagara peaches were made to England with the idea of developing a trade there. The boxes arrived in good nondition and were favorably commented upon by dealers who plac- ed them on sale. When it. came to actual selling there was not a very hearty response on the part of the public, and the second lot was said to have gone begging. Mr. Forsyth, the Canad'an representative in Lon- don, concluded that the only demand in Great Britain is for a high-class white-fleshed peach with which the Canadian consignment could not compare. The peaches they are ac- customed to handle are English hot- house fruit, which are sold at prices varying from 2s to SS apieces. These, of course, are only bought by the luxury classes, who do not mind what they pay as long as they get an article of! supreme quality, and who would not be influenced by considera- tions of economy to substitute an in- ferior fruit. This may not be very cheerful news for the peach growers who are faced with the problem of overproduet'on. It may lead, how- ever, to the cultivation of a home market and a greater effort to supply fruit of such a grade and quality that consumers will increase their pur- chases. With peaches, as with other kinds of fruit, it should be possible to double the present trade by advertis- ing and by attention to market needs. +~The Montreal Family Herald and Weekly Star. NO MARKET FOR ONTARIO FRUIT After October 1 next "quart" and "p'nt" baskets of strawberries and raspberries will have to be quarts and pints in reality. The change in the Federal Fruit Act‘comes into effect then, F. L. Gable, chlief Dominion fruit inspector tor Western Ontario an- nounced on Tuesday for the benefit of many growers who are confused as to the exact extent and operat'on of the act. Only raspberries and strawber- ries will be affected. This sea- son's crop may be packed “and sold in the usual boxes, two-fifths and tour-fifths of a quart, respective- ly. But new boxes and crates will have to be made for next year. The type of box has not yet been decided upon. INDEPENDENT ADS PAY BERRY BOXES t "THE BEST PLACE TO SHOP AFTER ALL", t GRIMSBY +9 . ON ta"e"a"a"sooisooo-e"e"soooooeoo.s"seooooeeoooooooo, Charles Roach, of Effingham, was convicted in police court Friday morn- ing of stealing 52 chickens, the pro- perty ot William Powell, of Niagara street, St. Catharines, and was Ben- tenced by Magistrate Campbell' to a term of two years less one day. Roach admitted previous convictions and sentences totalling tour years. Roach pleaded guilty' to the charge and claimed that he was acting only as agent for a man named Thomas Wallis, orHamilton, stating that he had loaded the chickens from along- side the roadway near Powell’s house, and denying any part in the robbery. He admitted, however, that he had told the Toronto police that he was the owner of the chickens. TWO YEARS FOR CHICKEN THEFT The evidence against Roach was most complete, the chickens being traced from the Powell chicken coop to Cape Horn, near Vinelgnd, where two broken springs interrupted the motor truck on its journey to Toronto. The chickens were then traced to the Vineland station and to Toronto where the chickens were found and Roach arrested. Roach's story regarding his rela- tions with Wallis was most weird and the Magistrate had no hesitancy in telling the prisoner.that'Walljs was not the name of the man nor was Hamilton his address. He also stated that in his opinion one of the chicken thieves who had been, operating in this district had been caught and stat- ed that if another party was connect- ed with Roach' in the thefts that the second party was a resident of St. Catharines.
