This is just half as much as was paid last year when one million dollars was paid for peas, corn, tomatoes, ap- les and small fruits and veget- ables. But this was an unusually gcod year and some farmers made small fortunes. Taking the average for the past ten years, excepting the season of 1930, $550,000 has been paid out for canning factory produce each season, so that the 1931 season shows only a decrease of 10 per cent, below the normal average.

W. Beafty Endorses Canadian Trade Exhibi- tion Cruise Idea Montreal - Faith in Canada, in her fundamental stre ngth and in her destiny was expressed in a recent interview by E. W.
