SCIENCE IN HANDLING FRUIT
Grower May Secure High Prioes for
Product by Exercising Care In
Sorting and Packing.

A great saving may be effected by
the scientific handling of fruit of all
kinds. In this case science" means
right knowledge and care. The fruit
grower cannot always sell direct to
the consumer, but he can, by sorting
and carefully packing his product,
get much better price when selling
to the retail dealer than he can il he
follows the old-fashioned methods OF
dumping everything into boxes, bas-
kets and barrels regardless of size and
condition. The shrewd dealer will
make the most of the bad condition
of the stuff offered him, beating down
the grower to the lowest possible price
and then add to his profits by the
work of few boys in the basement
who are instructed in the art Of clean
ing and repacking. The grower, him
self, could get this added profit If he

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported OF the wheat crop of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate OF an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward OF
rs bushels per acre. There is no
portion of that great west OF $4,000
square miles In which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price OF
the land out Of this years crop OF
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice Of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as we'll.
But the story Of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
required to be run, the increased ton.
mage Of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The G. p. r. earnings for the second
week Of October showed an increase
of $4,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
Of 1913, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date. The
increase in G. p. r. earnings for the
corresponding week of that year was
only 1851 900, or less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities The c. p. r. is handling 1000
cars per day, new record. The
G. T. r. and the c. N. r. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company, the largest
freighter Of the Canadian fleet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down cargo of
476,315 bushels, a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. The
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port Of New York ever
known is reported for the period up
to October 18th, when since shipments
OF the new crop began in August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
is over half as much as was shipped
OF American wheat from the same port
in the same period. And, be it remem-
bsred, Montreal, not New York, is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad-
vertisement.

The sweet charm of youth is most

them. 1t is graceful and beautiful and

spiration, embodying points that we

bound with ribbon, which may be in

SHERRILL'S PAN-AMERICANISM

Charles II. Sheriff., former Amer

dress at Buffalo, made the rather
startling assertion that the time is
ripe for the United States to ask Eu-
ropean countries to relinquish posses
sion Of their colonies in the western
hemisphere.

condition to ask favors OF Europe

Designed to adorn the corsage OF the
afternoon or evening gown, to nestle
n the close-fitting fur neckpiece or to
ldd final touch of elegance and col
or to the muff, the corsage bou-
quet is blooming in the sunlight of
increasing flavor. In truth, 1t is clev-
erer than ever, but rarely deserves the
name Of bouquet. Single flowers, or
a flower and bud, made OF ribbon OF
velvet set in millinery foliage, or large
millinery flowers with ribbon In the
same color as their foliage tied about
the stems, make up the big majority
of these exquisite accessories.
The dark colors that are favored
this season, and the furore for furs,
make It possible for the corsage low

and visiting toilettes they form ex-

And the corsage bouquet is as much
at home with evening dress as nat
ural flowers are.

blossoms pictured here. II includes
two roses, made OF ribbon set in mil
