Canada takes no back seat to any nation in producing her ownâ€" food supply. The only trouble is that it bulges \ in spois and is at low ebb in other spots. _ Grey is one of the favored Counties and it bulges with the | products of the land until it runs cver. For instance, take the apâ€" ple crop in the Beaver Valley. Never has there been such a crop harvested and the men who belong | to the Apple Growers‘ Association in that locality, are this year going to find it a profitable business for themselves, The trouble is with the small fruitâ€"retailer.

"An apple a day + keeps the doctor away." | Sddie Cantor, writing in the Torâ€" outo Star Weekly, has different ideas . on the subject. _ Here it is in part : | ‘"We could have prosperity back in six months if people would sell banâ€" anas instead of apples. Apples are healthful and that‘s that: You eat an apple and never hear from it aâ€" gain. But the minute you peel a banana â€" things begin to happen. Somebody slips on the peel and soils his trousers. That makes business for the cleaner, The cleaner buys more benzine. More people are enâ€" gaged to pack benzine, to pack it, ship it and deliver it.

That the struggles of the past two years undermined Mr McPhail‘s rugâ€" ged health is beyond question. All Western Canada appreciated the load he was carrying and sympathized with him in his responsibilities. With his death western Canada loses one of its outstanding personalities â€"one of the titans of the great enâ€" terprise of Canadian Wheat. The combination of adverse econâ€" omic conditions which fell like a sudder malady on the world‘s indusâ€" trial liie in 1929, had their conseâ€" quences on Canada‘s great experiâ€" ment in coâ€"operative wheat marketâ€" ing, as they had on every other comâ€" mercial activity. In the years since 1929, A. J. McPhail strove grimly and doggedly against tides which were running more strongly than he could stem. He saw the Pools, under the pressure of events, being pushed into changed formations, and he saw the agricultural industry of the West fallen on days of difficulty and uncertairty, The world had encounâ€" tered conditions no one in the early years of coâ€"operative orgarization had forseen. In these surroundings he pondered and claborated the coâ€"cperation idea. Far from being satisfied with the eâ€" conomic arrangements in which he and his fellow farmers were involved A. J. McPhail decided there was a better systém by which the farmers might conCuct their business. nameâ€" ly, by coâ€"operation. ‘ The coâ€"operative idea developed in his mind until it became his guiding principle, He exâ€" pressed himself in the following words : "The wonder of the modern world is the rapidity with which coâ€"operation ard all it stands for is quietly, peacefully and quickâ€" ly spreading its influence in evâ€" ery community and in every land under the sun. It is as the sun, sending its warm and healing rays wherever there is trouble and inequality among men. Its ultimate result, if given freedom of action, will be to quietly, peacefully and effectively disâ€" place the old ruthless coercive, competitive system, . which has brought so much suffering to mankind ." These were the convictions of the man who became President of the Canadian wheat Pools and these were the sentiments he hoped it would be the good fortune of the Pools to. translate in large measure into the life of Canada. Mr McPhail saw the Pools expand into one of the greatest business enterprises of the world: and as President of the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool he found himself head of a farmers‘ organizaâ€" ticn containitg more than 80,000 members. The farmer from Bruce Co became one of the great executives in modern business, and one of the world figures in modern industry. When Noah sailed the waters blue He had his troubles same as you.
