FROZEN A new wrinkle in apple marketing which provides the zestful delight of fresh apple pie to the jaded palate of the summer tourist is announced in the latest Cold Storage news letter of the Dominion Department of Agriculture. By a new process developed by E. W. Elwell of Chicago, known as the Kazer Patent, apples are frozen and held in storage at a zero temperature. from the harvest season until the summer months when the apple is passe. Briefly described, the Kazer process applies to some procedure for paring and curing apples for pies. The fruit is peeled and sliced in the approved fashion and it is then treated with the patent solution, {being dipped three times in specially designed tanks. It is then packed in regulation apple boxes and placed in a freezer. By the dip- ping process the fruit retains its flavour and colorâ€"it does not turn brown. It maintains all the fine qualities of the fresh fruit unimpaired for use during June. July. August and September when fresh apples are not available. It is during this season of the year that the new frozen apple stock is used by the pie bakers. Not only will the new pro- cess mean a considerable increase in the volume of business for cold storage plants. but it should also help to market a considerable prOportion of the apple crop which would not otherwise sell to .advantage. The Publications Branch of the Do- minion Department of Agriculture is the medium through which the results of scientific research and experiment in agriculture are made available to the farmers and public of Canada. The principal media through which this in- formation is disseminated takes the form of bulletins, pamphlets, circulars and reports. These are available to the public on application to the Branch, free of charge. All that is necessary is for anyone interested to write the Branch for the information desired. During the last fiscal year a total of 4,442,958 publications of various sorts were distributed. These included the popular “Seasonal Hints” which is prepared by experts in the respective fields of operation. This bulletin con- tains much of interest to everyone con- cerned in agriculture. “Hints” in- cludes a list of the more recent publi- cations as a guide in selection. There are at present time over 300 individual publications available 1m- distributon.

It was quite long and free of weeds and thick on the lground. It is used in the linen mills of lBeIrast, the largest in the world, which employ 2500 to 5000 men and women annually. The World's Congress dele- gates were ta};en through this factory. Many of the employees, especially the iwomenâ€"of all agesâ€"were going about in their bare feet. In this section of the factory it is quite warm and humid as steam is all through this section of {the plant. Every bit of linen seen :since reminds me of the labors of these . people. The districts of Scotland visited have large rectangular fields as we have in Ontario but separated by hedges. The arrangement lends itself to more effi- cient use of horse labor and machinery than in England. Even the same ar- range ent is to be noted in the cities of elfast. Glasgow and Edinburgh. The streets are straight, long and not forked to the same degree as are Lon- don. Liverpool, Dublin or Cork. What Edinburgh loses in quaintness is more than made up by the modern ideas which always appeal to Canadians. In Scotland large herds of Ayrshires, Shorthorn and Angus cattle were to be seen. These were high grade stock and, as mentioned in my previous letters, are large-framed, strong constitutioned animals. They surely are a credit to the land owners and farmers of Great Britain. If England had good horses, Scotland has gone one better. Never has so many high class horses been seen as those on Glasgow streets. Every one is heavy, large bodied and what appeals to a horse lover especially a Clydesdale breederâ€"clean boned an silky haired "beasties". The same can be said of all farm horses seen as the bus passed the field in which they were pasturing.

Stewart Cooper THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Agriculture nwwmewvm?"myandturnodxomchm¢ :pro- Dromptlypulled tOItession: Myst-am mt)- T. Stewart Cooper. Eor Richard Bedford Bennett, leader of the Liberal-Conservative party in the Dominion, who was returned with a clear majority over all others in the re- cent polling, has been greatly interest- ed in public affairs for the past 25 years or more, and so it is said, cherished the hope for many long years to be Premier of Canada. That goal, to which he has been treading since early manhood, is now in his grasp and his majority will enable him to give effect to his policies. THE CAREER 0F CANADA’S NEW PRIME MINISTER Mr. Bennett was born at Houeville. New Brunswick, on July 3, 1870. and is thus a month over 60 years of age. He is of United Empire Loyalist stock, the ninth generation in America, and spent his early manhood in New Brunswick, beginning the practice of law at Chat- ham, N.B. In 1897 he felt the call of the west and went to Calgary, and that has been his home ever since. He served as a member of the Legis- lative Assembly of the Northwest Ter- ritories and of Alberta, resigning his seat in the Alberta House to contest a federal seat and entered the Dominion Parliament as a member for Calgary in 1911. He was the director-general of national service during the early years of the war, before Canada passed the Conscription Act. He was named Min- ister of Justice by Right Hon. Arthur Meighen in 1921 holding this post until the defeat of the government the same year. During the brief time that Mr. Meighen was Premier in 1926, Mr. Bennett was the only Conservative returned from the Prairie Provinces. He was chosen leader of the Conserva- tive party at the national convention [held at Winnipeg in 1927. Mr. Bennett, having been interested in political life so long. is well inform: ed on all questions in connection with public affairs and is a very rapid Speak- er. It is said that since he became leader of the Conservative party he has taken pains to speak slower, thus gain- ing in impressiveness. As leader of the Opposition, he did not seem to think that it was his duty to oppose everything the Government did, just for the sake of opposition, and on occasion commended. So mild was he in his first session after his election to the party leadership that some impa- tient followers began to feel that a mis- take had been made, that he had no “fight" in him. But he soon demon- strated, that when he saw reason for it he could do any amount of “oppos- ing”. He was seldom bitter, however, and he was the first to offer to Speaker Lemieux, who was later appointed to the Senate at the close of last session, hearty congratulations for the fairness of his decisions. Mr. Bennett’s tribute was appreciated very highly. Some of Mr. Bennett’s opponents have used the fact that he is a very wealthy man to insinuate that he favors thé rich and has little consideration for the poor, but Mr. Bennett, when chosen leader of his party at the Winnipeg convention. said he would consecrate both himself and his wealth to the ser- vice of his country. He reiterated this statement in his pre-election discourses, and is going to have an opportunity of proving his sincerity as a man who fills the position of Premier of Canada must indeed devote his time to the job, and Mr. Bennett can do this without feeling any anxiety regarding provision for his old age.
