The present estimate places the probable total for Canada at some- what over 3,000,000 barrels, against about- 2,883,000 last year, and an average of 3,546,000. Ontario, it is expected, will have about 774,000] barrels, against 950,000 in 1925, and | an average of over 1,000,000. The B.C. crop 1s placed at 3,525,000 boxes, over one-half million above the average. Quebee and the Mari- times have prospects of a larger crop than that of 1925, 'but the lateness of the "June" drop makes forecast- ing doubtful. In the U.S. apples are reported to be uniformly good, though the New York and Pennsylvania crop will not | be as large as last year { The English apple crop has suf-| fered severely from frost and drop- i ping. Generally speaking, only a ! half crop is expected, Potatoes Unchanged. Official estimates of the potato | the whole of Canada| show only a few hundred acres | change from that of 1925. Thené| has been practically no change in the | Maritimes, and an increase of 3,000 | acres in Quebec is more than offset | by a drop of nearly 5,000 in On- tarfo, The U.S. potato crop occupies an largely because of increased planting of early potatoes in the South and of late potatoes in Wisconsin and Michi- gan, but it is still considerably below It is impossible as yet to forecast production with any ac- curacy, but unless prospects improve the crop will be only 8,000,000 bushels above last year's short turn- out, and about 90,000,000 bushels less than in 1924.

Coca-Cola in unstinted measure. During the twenty- five years since this business was founded, ' hundreds of other drinks have come and gone, but Coca-Cola still remains the favorite beverage of thirsty millions. 16,000 Canadians--as many people as make up the entire population of many a thriving Canadian city to-day--men and women, boys and girls, from Nova Scotia to the Yukon, liked Coca-Cola so well they wrote to tell us about it within a period of six weeks last sum- mer. From artists, farmers, business and professional men, police constables and public officials--from women in city dwellings and prairie homes, we have heard th repeated story of Coca-Cola's delicious and refreshing This has qualities. That it finds favor among so many people of widely different circumstances and tastes is the most convincing proof we could possibly secure that Coca-Cola is a part been accorded of the domestic life of this'great Dominion to-day. It has a deserved place earned through the wholesome pleasure it gives, the purity of the product itself and the institution devoted to - Not only do these 16,000 letters preserit a cross section of our social structure from top to bottom, but they reveal the amazing extent of 'the geographical distri- - . bution of Coca-Cola. They came from hamlets and settlements so small and obscure as to be known only to the Post Office Depart ment. From camps deep in the wilds of northern Quebec; from outposts on the prairies and in the moun- tains far from rail head, There seemed to be no corner of the country that did not possess some knowledge of and appreciation for Coca-Cola. Such has been the outgrowth of an institution founded on a nickel drink, which started in Canada some twenty- five years ago with a modest syrup factory and bottling plant at Toronto.

And right away, just like that, they shrank and shrank and shrank until they weren't any big- ger than your two thumbs. Then all three of them climbed down the rose vine into the garden. The garden that the Twins played 'in all day looked entirely different now in the moonlight, and besides, the magic shoes opened the eyes of 'the children to things they had nev- er seen before. pug d All the violet plants were turned into houses, and all the daffodils into lamp-posts, The lilies of the valley were ringing their tiny bells Port Arthur, Brandon, and fairfes were dancing to the music, It was early for poppies, but one big red one had come up. With one bound, Johnny Jump Up reached it. , And there standing right in the middle of the poppy was a little Chinaman, . "Did you bring the tickets?" ask- ed Johnny Jump Up. "Yes, 1 did," nodded the tiny Chinaman. "A velly nice night to travel. Three tickets to China and back again." He handed the tickets do Nick, and Johuny Jump Up blew up his cheeks and whistled. Down flew the tit- mouse from where he had been wait- ing in a tree. He punched holes in the tickets with his short stubby bill and said "Hop on." 3 So all three of the tiny people] jumped onto the fat little bird's back. "Tommy Titmouse!" scolded Johnny Jump . Up, the fairy man, "you must stop eating so much. Your sides are so fat our legs stick straight out and it isn't comfortable." "All right, I will," promised Tommy. "All aboard for Chiga." And up he went through the air apd over the tree-tops and the mountains and the sea until they came to China. And such 'things as they saw there! Cites of queer houses with curly roofs! And Chinamen in slippers and pigtails smoking long ppes! And funny-shaped carriages on two wheels, pulled by men. And chil- dren with funny, fat cheeks and slanting eyes, dressed just like their ts. paren . Out in the country they saw fields of rice, And great flat boas on the increased popular demand, three other factories and plants were next opened at Montreal, Winnipeg and Vancouver. Before long these facilities proved inade- quate and, to insure regular and efJcient service wher- ever Coca-Cola might be called for throughout this country of vast distances, bottling plants were opened And these were further augment- ed from time to time, by the addition of licensed bottling plants in about fifty more cities and towns. This Coca-Cola manufacturing and distributing organi- zation now stretches from Halifax to Vancouver. Under one management and operated throughout according to one single standard of excellence in its product, it is engaged in supplying the people of Canada with the most wholesome, delicious healthy, natural thirst. * *» Of all the hundreds of beverages offered to the public, Coca-Cola is the one which t and refreshing answer to Bottling Plants: Hamilton, London, Windsor Edmonton rivers with whole on them. x And along the edge of the coun« try they saw a wall called the Great Wall of China, thousands of years old.
