The bad stone has been taken out and new bases have been put under the corner pilaster and the two pilasters on the Market street side. The step guards at this corner have also been taken down and reset. The scaffolding has been left up for a few days until the sheet lead can be put over the top of the door.

Morrisburg, Oct. 16.--The cold storage and freezing plant, barns and poultry sheds, with all their contents, - of A. H. Ashton & Com- pany, were completely destroyed by residence of Mr. Ashton, which ad- joined the plant, was alse burned as were the barns containing this year's crop from the Ashton farm, only one building remaining. The thoroughbred cattle were saved.], This property is situated back of the Canadian National Railways track, at the northern outskirts of the town. The cold storage was erected many years ago and was improved from time to time, mak- ing it an up-to-date freezing plant at the time of the fire. It was run for a few years by the United Farm- ers' Co-operative Company, but dur- ing the past season came back into the 'hands of the Ashton Company, and the business was being carried on by the firm.

This is due to several causes. A good set in the spring, good weath- er for maturing, ripening and color ing. Probably one reason for the good yield is that last year was very unfavorable, hence many trees had a year's rest in which to form fruit buds and store up energy for 1925. It is therefore highly probably that 1926 will see a greatly decreased yield. ! Prices, except where there has been dumping of windfalls and poor fruit, promise to keep up. A large shipment of the very best is being sent to England by the Ontario gov- ernment to advertise Ontario apples. Both Nova Scotia and B.C., especial- ly the latter, are not up to the aver- age. So a large number of apples will be shipped to Winnipeg and the west. Now is the time for the house- holder to order supplies. Apples will never be cheaper than just now; they are bound to advance as, the season advances. Though there is a very large crop, a very. big proportion must be rejected as undersized. This always happens when trees are over- loaded. Nevertheless, the quality this year of Ontario apples is re- markably high and it is no exaggera~ tion to assert that nowhere in the world can apples be grown better than those in Ontario.
