In The FamlIy By ONA FREEMAN LATHROP The long black limousine with a uniformecd chauffeur at the wb,-eel came gldir sowly dowo the bumpy brick street and rolled toaa stop in foo the littie white isouse. N Oone got out. From her bedroomn Ann Marie heard thie soft purr of the motor e-d peekeýd out through the living room. Yes, it xas Aunt Sarah, with, enigs- in front beside the chauf- leur. Sb-e'd been dreading this me- usent. She glanced hastily around. K-veryting wans ordlerly. Tommy was playin-g in the back yard. Their pwn iittîe car was inte drive. They woubd know she w7as home.

Tbat's because Can- ada's 1948 apple crop bas been estimated at 17 million bushels, an îincrecase of 2 iiillion over last year. To thjs huge amount British Columbia -îli, quite na turally, con- tribute the major share, that Pro- vlnce's 9 million bushels being about 25% above the 1947 figure. The big problem niow is how to dispose of this cr p. Based on former figures, the maximum quan- tity Canada cai e expected to use is less than 9 million bushels, and 2 e'ý,o r t irkt is quite utcer- jn. FIreat Briiin took no Cana- dian apples this year, and is- not very likely to buy rnany of this season's production because of the money ;ituation and also because the United Kingdom is growing a whole lot more at home. So it looks as though worrns and similar pests are' not the orily beadaches our apple-growers have to contenld wth. Somet poultry raisers work twu bours or more a day in caring for 1000 beiis, or even fewer than t1fat -an(' think they're being efficient about the job too. But figures do not bear out this belief, as the department of Agriculture at Wash- ington says that there ar( poultry- î'len wba require 'only 21 minutes a day to look after. 1000 hens.
