I ----ee-- THE APPLE CROP. son is omly about 60 per cent. of 1920, Quebec has not more than 35 and New Brunswick about 60 per cent. . On the other hand it is ex- | pected that Nova Scotia will have a commercial crop about 10 per cent. | in excess of that of last year, and in British Columbia prospects point to the yleld being twice that of the preceding season. Owing to the gharp declines which have taken place in many products, especially in those of the farm, says the London Advertiger, fruit growers have been displaying some agxiety as to whether «correspondingly low prices will preval] for apples. Last year Ontario orchardists came off badly in the returns obtained, and hundreds of tons of the fruit was "| allowed to go to waste. It 4s the opinion of the fruit com- missioner's branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, however, that if this year's returns are not 'better than last they at least will be no wonse. Based on the law of sup- ply and demand, also on the law of averages, and having regard to the present and future employment con- ditions, it would appear that the best varieties and grades will be well maintained for this season's crop. ties and lower grades may show a de- cline from the past two years' selling prices; but this is expected to be off- | set by the lower cost of packages and labor, The fruit commissioner's depart- ment appears to be of the opinion that owing to the fact that the pur- chasing power in the United King- dom has been considerably reduced since last year, this will affect the consumption, but the circumstances that the long, dry spell of hot weather which 'prevailed in Britain this summer has seriously affected the apple crop should act as an off- set to this, It should also be borne in mind that the supply of Canadian apples at a reasonable price in Britain is al- most invariably below the demand. It has been suggested that the gov- ernment might take in hand the pro- rvision of vessels for the transporta- tion of Canadian chilled beef to the old country, and we do not hesitate to say that if similar provision were made for the shipment of apples it would bring many thousands of dol- lars to the Canadian growers. -- een, A DESPERATE GANG. The killing of Constable Beard at Napanee and the serious wounding of Constable Cotter, of this city, are un- doubtedly the work of the same trio of desperate bandits. There is reason, also, to suspect that the robbing of Arthur Horwitz, some weeks ago, when some $700 in cash was taken Jrom him in his bedroom at night, % the work of the same outlaws. | For wnat is in truth what they are to-day--outlaws in every sense of | the word. It is regrettable to have to be- lieve that the young men implica- ted in these several crimes are citi- | zens of this city, but there seems to | be no other conclusion. This city ana | the surrounding district form the scene of their.exploits; they are thor- oughly acquainted with our streets {and with all the roads in the coun- | tryside.

Public sympathy and admiration are on 1eir side, and an aroused public re- seniment will before long bring ab- | out the capture and punishment of the thugs who are perpetrating such dastardly crimes. | ALONG LIFE'S DETOUR | | The apple crop in Ontario this sea- | BY SAM HILL More Truth Than Poetry. s ancient truth is plain, ead it through the town, To 8 high up in life You never must lay down.

The three set out on a holiday jaunt to Toronto on Saturday after- noon. Two of the young men belong to Toronto and the other, a native of | Kingston, As they were young the police at Napanee thought they might be the auto bandits eo they were nabbed. Of course they claimed it was all a mistake but the police force at Napanee comes from Miss- ouri, so the trio had to get busy and show -the law something. The local police were notified that the three 'had been taken in charge on suspic- ion and about the same time a mes- sage arrived at a local. garage where the unfortunate ones happen to be employed, asking that they make tne necessary explanations to the Na- panee police. The boss of the place did so and after being convinced that the three young men were law- abiding citizens of Kingston, they were released and continued on their way to Toronto.
