Apples In Abundance ilere we are ini the beginingii( of the sea- son of 1942 with apple orebards again ini bloomi and from il1 reports thue inidications are that there siioiîci be a bumiper crop. There biave been heard for inanv seasons past. variotns conipla ilts ab)out marketing and prices of Ontario apples. The latest crop, however, seemis fo have been absorbed at reasona bic prices and f0 the best of our in- formation there lias heeîi but a scant carry over. For this. the government action in re- strictiii-g intake of coastal apples must be commiended. Wliat the arrangements will be in case of a big yield increase this year we are yet to learn. At tlhe moment in retail stores in town we find none but Britislh Columbia boxed apples. They are flot oniy attractive and highlv colored but aise highly priced, and they are being- sold. Our taste lias always persuaded us that Ontario apples are better than aiiv other varieties but our observation has been thaf w-e pay littie attention f0 col- oring. s izing and boxing. The trend with Ontario orclîardists seems to be f0 get what protection in marketing the government miglit accord and then f0 get rid of the volunme iin the shortest time possible. Last fali, several orclîardists miarketed tlîroughi retail stores in small baskets and averag-ed froni $6 to $8 per barrel or more. B.C. grow- ers are geftiingo better thani that locally. righit flow today. But we set ont pruînarilY f0 suggest that in case of an overfloiv crop, we shouild do what we have failed adequateiy f0 do so far iin this war, and that is process a larg-e portion and send if overseas. If a bonus is necessary, then go ahead and bonus. No matter what officiai reports have fo say o11 tle sub.iect, if is our observation from soldiers - letters fliat they get far f00 littie of fruit of ail kinds and Britain's civil population almost nothing. Coastal produc- ers are being bonused each season and On- tario gets indirect aid, and yet there are COmplaints. So let us anticipatè surplus and contract for the boys overseas. A Divided Canada There should no long-er becîîeed of trying to fool ourselves about.the present schisrn in national unity. The plebiscite. taken ini April affer feverish preparafion and utimosf haste, revealed states of mm iiii various sections, particularly in flic provinue of Que- bec, whidi must be broughft into -under- standiug- wifh the majorit\ or we ma 'v as well give up the ghiost su far as a feder- ation is concerned. Politicians and parochial preceptors neow face flhe prospect of reap- ing fhe whîrlwind. An accord is perfectly feasible. To reachi it most effectively, ail those wluo were in- strumiental in creafing the imtpasse might be interned whule realisfs and bunianitarians af- tack the problem. Leagues cannot do if. We have too many of them already. There is fhe League for flie Defence of Canada, and a haîf dozeil other niarrow-souled "isms" that fan flames rather flian quencli flîem. The sfark fact of the momenît is tlîat fie haste ini taking the plebiscite now stretches into festering indecision, a sort of April Pool or a finie bomb f hat sputters toward explosion.
