BBE L0S§ OF â€"REVENUE Still Possible to buy for Mediâ€" cinal Purposes but Bars all Closed: St. John‘s Newfounland, Dec. 31. â€"â€" At midnight toâ€"night the whole isâ€" ia.nd of Newfoundland goes dry. A prohibition Act becoming effective, stops the import, manufacture, or sales of intoxicating liquors of every kind within the colony. After this it will be impossible to obtain any alâ€" coholic compound within the colony, except for medicinal, manufacturing, or sacramental purposes, and in orâ€" der to prevent evasion of the law a long list of patent medicines has been placed under the ban. PAGE EIGHT The Druggists‘ Association â€" of the island having petitioned the Legislaâ€" ture not to put upon it the obligation of carrying stocks of liquors and disâ€" spensing the same on the prescription of doctors, the Government has proâ€" vided for St. John‘s a public controlâ€" ler through whom medicinal presâ€" criptions will be filled and supplies obtained for manufacturing, while proâ€" vision is made whereby the various churches can> have their own . agenâ€" cies for importin gwinge for sacramenâ€" tal uses. Elsewhere on the island physicians or magistrates will be the jocal custodians of the supplies . reâ€" quired for these purposes. In St. John‘s fifty saloons go out of pusiness. â€" As there are virtually only iwo routes by which goods come into the island, St. John‘s on the east coast and Port aux Basque on the west, it is believed that it will be comparaâ€" tively casy the law. The annual value of the imports of liquors, wines, ales, beers, etc., with a small local manufactory of ales and beers, has been about $250,000, and on ali of the compounds the colony levied a very high tax, so that the duty obtained therefrom was about $400,â€" 000 a year. The most serious effect which the new policy is expected to have is on the ordinary colonial revenue, but the belief is expressed in some quarters that increased consumption of other articles will help to offset this shortâ€" age, and that in a very few years there will be a readjustment which will more than compensate for the Moss. 4 k . | 3 ; B ;‘ C\ l S & | Ah h i f Cw k 290 B La€ t L 3 f k § j ‘ H f 1 : : i 1 j t al k l ; 1 Se fees T e n 8 ; : i : 9 k on emdeeaai®e LERTLATOT NOC OVZS NT CSR STE 22ME E ECCE CERCCOOIOS e mmnes Sremannt speemmmmm mm â€" â€" â€" nttinn en mmttereion rendtmmen mm memne mmanccmen nsm rrmmemcrnnemareemensecancmmennmememnananemnmmscancom omm ansmmnnconmonsmmmmnenmmmmemnccmmrnccme ~ nommmmnnmnmmnnmenmmmmmmnenemermmmeneemmenmemenmemmeemmnnenennnnennmemaiia to prevent infractions of It contains all the news of West York in detail.

In the year 1911, which was a record season, almost 2,000,â€" 000 barrels of apples were marketed. At that time Nova Scotian fruit was introduced in the Prairie Provinces. There is every indication that shipâ€" ments to those markets will be inâ€" creased, inasmuch as the Gravenâ€" stein apple, for which Nova Scotia 4s famous, matures at a time when @epples are in great demand in the Canadian West. A growing trade is also being developed with South America and South Africa, corresâ€" ponding geographically to the trade in apples between British Columbia and Australia. % It is rather interesting to note that the apple barrel used in Nova Bcootia contains only 96 quarts, as eompared with the 112 quart barrel of Ontario. The Canadian Governâ€" ment regulations call for a minimum size of 96 quarts and Nova Scotia 7 °> °4 7° 37 s a 7" 33y y /”,f /{ A J | &4 N / g / a } ®, rp3® 7 C MA & 7 / 4 & c 7 & 9 2 # M M & I yp 4 /J 4/ n // 4 "4 4 C 7 V & <_2 4 iff y 40 P¢ /J f & C o tuurh £ J AL 4BL h2 ‘¢ b THE TIMES & GUIDE, WESTON FRIDAY, JANUARY 5TH, 1917 nas adopted that minimum. The difference in the size of the two barâ€" rels must therefore be always taken into consideration when comparing the prices of Ontario and Nova Scotia apples in any particular marâ€" ket. It is impossible to single out any variety of apple which is most sucâ€" cessfully grown in Nova Scotia. Several varieties succeed equally well. Undoubtedly the province is most famous for the Gravenstein, because that variety is grown more extensively in the Annapolis Valley than in any other part of Canada. About 15 per cent of the apples marketed in ‘Nova Scotia are Graâ€" vensteins. It is a tender, early fall apple, usually harvested ¢ between September 10th and 25th, and should be consumed under ordinary A RESOUTION : conditions by the end of October. If stored in a suitable cellar it will keep in prime mas. ‘The demand for the Gravenstein apple is increasing. Unfortunately very few new Gravenstein orchards are being planted to replace the old ones which are rapidly dying out. No movement could be undertaken which would be worthy of wider encouragement than the extension and development of Gravenstein orehards. The apple crop in Nova Scotia this year will be small: Probably not more than 600,000 barrels will be marketed. The short crop i8 due to unfavorable weather‘and to a very heavy June "drop."
