Gordon Osler, Treasurer Wanted at Once 50 Old Cream Separatorsâ€"â€"Any Model MEN‘S BLACK The large majorities in favor of Government Control cast, one after the other, by the Western Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta were not made possible by the votes of only those who desired a change for the purpose of personal indulgence. There could have been no adoption of Government Control had it not been for the votes of total abstainers. In Manitoba, after almost a year, only a small proportion of those who voted for Government Control has taken out permits to purchase liquors. AEmpree en An examination of the figures will further show that very many people who had previously voted for Prohibition had, after several.years‘ trial, decided that the time had come for a change. Why? Not because it was desired to revert to the old "Bar" system of drinking. Not because there was any question about the universal desire for temâ€" perance, respect for law, and decent evironment for the children. Not because the public conscience had become deadened. But Because: There had grown a feeling, amounting to a conviction, that Prohibition was not living up to the prophecies of those who had advocated its adoption, and that it was creating evils as great as those it pretended to subdue, but much more difficult to deal with. & L & Thoughtful men and women do not ignore what they experience and observe. It is generally agreed that a step was taken in the right direction when the public drinking bar was abolished. But the good of that step has been challenged by the enormous traffic done by the Bootlegger and the huge output of the homeâ€"brewer and illicit distiller. The Moderation League proposes to hold to the good that has been accomplished, but to meet squarely the challenge of the Bootlegger and the LOTTE Prohibition does not frighten the Bootlegger. it created him, and it keeps him alive. Does anyone doubt how the Bootlegger will vote on October 23rd? Does anyone think that if the Bootlegger could be assured that present conditions would last for, say, ten years he would not greatly extend his business, and become even more daring in his operations? In the meantime the Bootlegger has grown wealthy and powerful. No matter what is done he will not now be easily abolished. Drinking conâ€" tinues on a scale the magnitude of which is unsuspected by the ordinary citizen, and consequences, which do not find their wayinto statistics, but are ncvertheless disastrous to the individuals concerned and to the comâ€" munity, follow. The decent, selfâ€"respecting and lawâ€"abiding citizen has been penalised, but the orgies of the other class, provided they are conducted with suflicient secrecy, have remained unchecked. The Province is also losing the huge revenue which t‘hose‘-who_ q$sire SECEELY, EV‘ EEEERRARCERAE MA ko The Province is also losing the huge revenue which those who desire to use liquor, properly and moderately, are willing to pay for the privilege. Can the Province aford to lose this revenue? Can it continue to ignore the conditions being created on every side? The answer lies with the electorate. With many of the ideals of Prohibition the Moderation League of Ontario i# in entire sympathy. The only motive underlying the activities of the League is that of a sincere desire to promote the interests, social, financial, and moral of the Province. There is no wish to provoke controâ€" versy or illâ€"feeling. Appeal is made to the experience and observationâ€" not to the passions and prejudicesâ€"of the people of Ontario. It is conâ€" tended that there exist sufficient grounds obvious to anyone who does not wilfully close his eyes to them and regarding which there is no difference of opinion, to justify the position taken by the League.

A. O No. 144 Oat. (Contribyted by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) The California Fruit Growers‘ Exâ€" change shipped 17,857,417 tboxes of oranges, lemons and grapefruit in 45,258 cars to points outside Caliâ€" fornia; increased its proportion of all citrus fruit grown in the state from‘ 68.7 to 75.8 per cent.; returned $55,â€" 223,450 to its members: lost through failure of customers only $6,926.70; did all this business at a cost of 1.51 per cent. of the delivered value and, including advertising, 2.48 per cent. Such is the record for its last fAnanâ€" clal year of the California Fruit Growers‘ Exchange, whose products are best known to Canedian consumâ€" ers by the brand "Sunkist." An Immense Range of Business. The California Fruit Growers‘ Exâ€" change is the oldest and largest of the California Coâ€"operatives. In the last twenty years it bas returned to its meimbers $546,000,000 from the sale of their products. It is & federâ€" ation of 208 local associations with 11,000 members. _ The locals each have their own packing houses and are fully responsible, financially and otherwise, for their own local activiâ€" ties, They are grouped into 31 disâ€" trict exchanges. Each district exâ€" change has one director on the board oi the California Fruit Growers‘ Exâ€" cMange, which owns the brand "Sunâ€" kist" and acts as the Central Scliling Agency for all the fruit. It bas bustâ€" ness connections with $,500 wholeâ€" salers, who servo 400,000 retailers, who in tura serve 113,000,000 conâ€" sumers in Canada and the United States. The Market Is Still Growing. The market demand for its proâ€" ducts is being constantly increased by the Exchange. ‘Twentyâ€"Ove years ago the orange growers of the State were faced with what they thought was overâ€"production. Since then producâ€" tion has quadrupled and the crop is still consumed. Judicious advertising and merchandizing methods have kept demand equal to or ahead of supply. A levy of four cents a boxr en oranges and 6)4 cents a box on lemons pays for it all. Advertising and dealers‘ service work is directed chiedy to the retailer and consumer. In any crossâ€"road village in Ontario, where you could not buy an Ontario apple, you will fAind oranges constantâ€" ly displayed mccording to airections worked out by those wideâ€"awake growers in Southern Californmia. Lower Freight Rates Securod. Last year an arrengement was made with the railways by which, through the use of larger cars and quantity shipments, & lower freight rate was secured on oranges,. . The reduction will efect a saving of $3,000,000 a year to the orange growers of the State. This works out to 14 cents a box. The total cost of the organization‘s services, exclusive of advertising, is §.86 cents per box or less than half the amount of the reduction. Organized Effort Pays the Producer. The oldest and best Coâ€"operative Marketing Association of California, after a quarter of a century of sucâ€" cessful experience, is still demonâ€" strating that the farmers‘ marketing problems can only be soived through organized imarketing effort by the farmers | themselves.â€"R.

The popularity of the Baeteriology Department of the Ontario Agriculâ€" tural College is aitested by the folâ€" lowing statcments: During 1923 a total of 4,3$27 cultures of legume bacteria for seed incculation were prepared and sent out.

A.C. No. 144 Oat. The 0. A. C. No. 144 oat was obâ€" tained from the Siberian variety through nursery pliant selection. This oat, which matures about the same timeâ€"as the Banner, has a spreading head, white grain and less than the average per cent. of hull fourd in oats. The straw is strong and it has proven to be an excelient yicider of grain. When tested on thirtyâ€"two farms situated in twentyâ€"one different counâ€" ties in Ontario in 1923, it outyieided the 0. A. C. No. 72 by 5.17 bushels, the 0. A. C. No. 3 by 10.3, and the Liberty Huliess oat by 17.3 bushels of grain per acre. In triplicate plot tests at the College in the average of the last five years, it surpasseq the O. A. C. No. 72 by 4.3 and the Banner by 5.6 bushelis of grain per acre. During this iveâ€"year period the straw of this variety lodged less than either the 0. A. C. No. 72 or Banner Oats. â€"Dept. of Extension, 0. A. College, Gueiph.

Undertaken in the name of safety, the Connaught Tunnel has always been a "safety first" proposition. Throughout its construction days, during the eight years it has been in operation and the four years that it has already taken to line it, it has been singularly free from accident. Nearly 500,000 sacks of Canadian cement will have gone into the lining of the Connaught Tunnel when it is finished. Practically all the machinery used in the work is Canadian made, including the huge compressors and powerful motors, The four types of reinforced steel collapsible forms, which are used in the various stages of the lining process, came from a western Canadian plant and the Sydney E. Junkins Company, B.C., Limited, construction engl« neers are in charge of its lining. The tunnel‘s concrete jacket is completes in secâ€" tions 22 feet long, each section taking about four or five days to prepare, when it is sometimes necessary to do considerable blasting, one day to fill with conâ€" crete and three days in which to set. Six complete sets of forms are at work within the tunnel which means a completed section for evqry working day in the week, or a total of 132 feet in six days More than 100 powerful flood lamps illuminate the tunnel at these six working points. Owing to the remarkable ventilating system, which in itself is one of the most interesting and important features of the tunnel, working conditions are excellent At the western portal two great steel fans, driven by two 500 h.p. four cylinder semiâ€"Diesel engines, turn at the rate of 255 revolutions a minute driving a brisk breeze through the fiveâ€"mile length of this great underground passage.
