California and adjacent territory produce upon irrigated land these fruits, not only in great pro- fusion, but ot extraordinary size, and of a dry nature, and hence of a flavor inferior to those grown in ou.r Ontario climate; but as size and ap- pearance sell anything in large quan- 'ttif/tit-vip, preference to the concealed g/ality of flavor, Canada annually Imports T very large quantities of canned fruits. During the war, Britain put on a! positive embargo on the export otl jam, and then Canadian factories in-f creased production to supply the home} market, and overdid the thing; new! factories sprang up everywhere, .and[ old ones extended their capacity, sol that today, if one-half the factories! were closed, the remainder could easily supply the "market. However,! no doubt this condition will in time be rectified by the inviolate law of the survival of the fittest. Already many have gone into bank- ruptcy, and many more must follow, I before anyone can" make anv money. I no wonder that nearly a million dol- lars worth of pure jams were import- ed from Britain per year before the war. _ PARK Stude Ms Always Succeed As a consequence of these pre-war low prices for the principal jam fruits, coupled with sugar at about 20 per lb. cheaper than our price here, also with tin and glass cheaper, especially glass which was not only about 25 per cent. cheaper, but also of much superior quality, with cheap- er labor, and cheaper money, it was Normal prices have not returned in England yet, but no doubt prices will fall as the cost of labor decreases. Agricultural labor there now is at about 50 per cent. above pre-war figures, as it is here. Jam is made chiefly ot the small fruits; strawberries and raspberries constituting two-thirds of all fruit made into jam. The heaviest crops of these are produced only where there is plenty of moisture, combined with other suitable climatic conditions, notably, England, Scotland and the coast section of British Columbia. In such sections as these, fruits can be produced, and sold at much lower prices than the growers in Ontario can afford to take. Before the war, strawberries in Britain sold to Jam Manufacturers on contract, year after; year, at 40 per 1b., stemmed and clean-i, ed, ready for the kettle, while in On-j tario, they cost at that time 8c to 10c per lb. Last season, with a heavy’ crop, and the lowest prices for several! years, they cost us 120 per 1b., cleaned) at the kettle.

But we, can never advertise 'Iflavor, until we drop Elbertas for .Qcanning, as it is only equal to Cali- l[fornias in that respect, and is not ,Iiequal in color. We should pack only Ipeaches of the deepest yellow color, Wand of the highest. flavor-Early ‘QCrawfords, Fitzgeralds, Garfields, etc., [and only No. 1 in size. These should be smaller than California firsts, but again by advertising our superior flavor, we might overcome the handi- cap of lack of size, and solidity of the fruit. Our fruit, being very juicy, iwill not stand cooking, without disin- Itegrating more of less; with care, it; 'iis very little; with carelessness, it is {very much. This clouds the liquor, gand damages the appearance. ( Our exquisitely flavored peaches, lhowever, packed with extra care, (should, and I think would, drive out 'ithe imported article, if we spent a ‘considerable sum of money in con- sumer advertising which of course thel individual canner cannot afford tol do, but which might be done by an! [organized effort of all concerned. The radio season is here-when long evenings make it of more interest. There are many radio enthusiasts in and around Grimsby, and it is hoped to form a radio club for the mutual ATTENTION OF ALL RADIO FANS Then in Peaches: let us stop can- ning Elbertas. We can them almost exclusively because they are large; because they may 'be held in cold storage more readily than most others and especially because they can be so held until the rush of tomato packing Canada, of excellent flavor. If these were carefully graded and canned, the public could be educated by judicious advertising that here was an article of real merit, which in time might be expected to force out the imported. First pt all, select and can only strictly first-class fruit, as., to size, etc. As regards cherries: there is little use trying to secure large quan- tities of Canadian grown English cherries to compete in size with Cali- fornian. Small quantities could be obtained at a very high price, so high that the canned product would re- quire to sell as high or higher than Califnia. However, there is an abun- dance of a somewhat smaller size sweet English cherry available in ed by appearance only. The remedy for this condition is a costly one, but it seems to me necessary.

The figure ot Britannia holding a tri- dent is retained, but is transferred to a small upright oval in the centre of the bill. Over the top is the legend "The Dominion of Canada will pay on demand," and underneath, "Twenty- five cents." On the right is a re- plica of the seal of the department and on the left appears a large "25" in brown. Small figures appear in each of the four corners. The bill is printed in black and white save for the red serial number, and a half inch panel of light brown inside the border at the bottom. The design on the re- verse side has not been changed.
