PAGE "m- JLI i ORI4LS The Finest Apples- This week, we are delighted to pay tribute to local apple grower, Deputy- Reeve Wilfrid Carruthers who wvon practically ail the top honors at the Royal Winter Fair with bis Durham County apples. The prize winning boxes are expected ta be on display in the Public -tUtilities windows as soon as the Fair con- cludes. Don't fail ta see them. Mr. Carruthers, his wife and family, Went ta a great deal of trouble and effort to prepare these carefully selected apples for show. As they came from the trees and were sorted, they had to be set aside as those af top quality were spotted. Un- iformîty of size, colour and many other factors had ta be taken into consideration. Then came hours and hours of polishing, packing, cutting stems ta exact length, cleaning around each stemn with cotton to rernove every speck of diri or dust. When they were gleaming in their boxes, the tops were applied and he took them in bis car ta Toronto, rather than the rougher riding truck. His reward in cash will by no means compensate for the labor and effort which went into this tremendous task. Mis achievement, in defeating much larger growers from other parts of the-country, is, if it is promoted properly, a wonderful piece of publicîty for increasing the sale of Durhamn County apples across the prov- ince and even outside. Unfortunately, there appears ta be a weakness in organ- Tobacco G rowe rs' Recent press releases and news stories give every evidence of discontent in the tabacca growing industry. The tight organization which bas controlled this crop in the past lirniting acreage and numbers of association members appears ta be heading for consîderable difficulty. Appar- ently some members of the group have been operating sidelines by supporting and financing indepen.dent growers. The inde- pendents according to a recent story are most unhappy because their returns have been much lower per pound than the crops of association members. These growing pains focus attention oiteever-present dernand for stable markets and guaranteed returns for farm products. The tobacco growers were doing fine for a while, controlling their own pro- duction and keeping a tight rein on their - Lffairs, so that each member with a crop was assured ai being able ta market his produce at a profitable figure. Now, the age aid lure ai additional 'profits - or, ini commoner terrns, a fast buck - seems ta be- rearing its ugly head and threatening ta scuttie a tidy arrangement which was 46good while it lasted". Independents, who weren't on the inside - or the claver trail - are doing everything they can ta Have yeu ever noticed: When the ether fellow acts that way, he is "ugiy";- when you do it, it is just "firmness". When the other fellow doesn't like ydur friends, he's "prejudiced"; when you don't like bis you are simply showing that you are a good judge ai human nature. When the -other fellow spends a lot, he is a "spendthrift"; wben you do, you are "discriminating". When the other fellow takes time ta do things, he is "dead slow";, when you do il, you are "deliberate". When the other fellow takes time ta do things, he is dead slow"; when you do il. you are "deliberate". The Poorest Publicity izatian #ecause, ta date, very littie pub- licity concerning Mr. Carruthers' achieve- ment bas appeared in the Toronto press. There have been photos and staries ai turkey winners, stock judging winners who also came from Durham, but next ta natbing cancerning one ai aur biggest cash crops, apples. Mowever, there may stili be hope for an organization wbxich, in the past, bas been as quiet as a lamb about its praducts. Tis week we received a letter f rom an official oi the Dept. ai Agriculture in Ottawa stating that an extensive campaign. will soan b. underway ta prornate the sale ai appies in Canada. Growers 'are con- tributing funds ta caver the cast witb tbe federal gavernment matcbing their contri- butions dollar for dollar. This, ai course is an ernergency measure for this year only because ai the large crap. We would encourage apple growers - especially those in Durham County, ta make every effort ta advertise their wares in every way passible nat just for one year, but mare or less on a con- tinuing basis. W. alsa realize il will cost money, but feel tb. end result will be advantageous and profitable ta the pro- dùcers. That's wby we give high praise ta Mr. Carruthers who, in bis own manner, bas clone a great deal f or the apple growing industry in Durhamn. We only hope that others will iollow bis example next year. Association in Trouble assist in destroying an organization which they feel is doing them an injustice. This particular experience confirms aur faith in a contention ai long standing, that farmers will neyer successfuily oper- ate as a united nationwide group, able ta contrai -production of crops; able ta set their own- prices and assure thernselves ai adequate returns for their labors. To us, farmers have a full measure af energetic enterprise of the type which bas been sa, successful in ather fields. 'Basically, they have an abhorrence af beîng regîjnented by any gavernment or arganization. They are private enterprises, deterrnined ta run their own businesses without inter- ference from anybody. We cornmend them for it, aithough we frankly admit it prob-. ably is costing them money, and placing them in the position ai being always "in season") prey for unscrupulous pramoters. It wili be most interesting ta watch what happens ta the tobacca growers and even more interesting ta follow the efforts being macle by some ta maîntain and sorne ta destroy other attempts at controlled marketing. In the end we predict that farmers wili continue ta remain free ai most regimentation, able and eager ta match their wits against all corners. I the Dim and Distant Past F'rom TI%.
