British Columbia can never again win this prize\nunless the rules are altered, for\neight of thel fifteen classes are for applet ln bc'rrels, and no British Columbia apples are packed in barrels.\nHowever, the Associated Growers\nhaving won permanent possession of\nthe agiints general cup which was\n' formerly awarded with the British\nempire championship for the best of\nthe cooking and dessert c|pples, must\nrest content So long as entries from\nthis province) practically sweep the\nboards in all classes ln which they\nntay enter, no one will complain.\n.Following is the record, the Associated drawers with two entries in\neach of the sax classes won: vrst and\nsecond ln Mcintosh; first and selcond\nln Jonathan; first and second ln\nSpitzenberg; first and second in\nNewtowns; and with Delicious flrst\nIn any other variety.

Gonsalez Ooampo,\nwho founded it, was preceded just one\nyear by Cortes ln Mexico, amd it was\nten years later that Plzarro set out\nfor Peru.\nCumana today is. a humdrum city\nof about 10,000 Inhabitants, the cap-\ntal of the stfcite of Bermudez, and an\nimportant port in the 'Orient,\" as\nthe eastern states of Venezuela are\ncalled. It certainly presents a sorry\ncontrast to the town of a century ago,\nthen the dndependent capitail of a\nlarge province ( or rather two, on important eccletsiastlcalc enter, and\nranking easily first among all the\nclt es of the coast in the culture and\nintelligence ot its inhabttlnts.\nCumana is as yet almost unknown\nto the traveler; but some day the\ntourist tidii will set in, and noto niy\nthe city tiself, but the delightful hill\ncountry of the Interior, as well as the\nneighbiborlng towns of Barcelona\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nwhich, like Cumana, web the scene of\nmany stirring events during thei war\nof independence\u00E2\u0080\u0094and Carupano, noted for dts trade in agricultural products and for Its incomparable rum\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nall, no doubt, will in time be \"stopped\noved\" eft and duly photographed.\n\"So, westward-ho they ran,\" writes\nKingsley ot the' good ship Rose, as\nshe 'skirted the coast between Cape\nCodera and La Guelra, \"beneath the\nmighty northern wall, the highest\ncliff on earth, some seven thousand\nfeet of rock parted from the sea 'by a\nnarrow strip of bright, green* lowland\nHere and there a patch of sugarcane\nor a knot ot coconut trees, close to\nthe water's edge, reminded them that\nthey were ln the tropics; but above,\nall was savafce, rough and bare as an\nAlpine precipice.

Maracaibo is situated upon the lake, of the same name,\nor rather upon the strait connecting\nthe lake with the outer gulf. Like La\nGualira and Puerto Cabello, it has\nexcellent steamer communications\nwith Curacao and New York.

It waB a private appldca-\nI tion\u00E2\u0080\u0094at least it was not signed by\nI the United Farmers of Saskatchewan\nbut by Mr. Thrasher personally.. The\nsugar refiners and certain financial\npapers in the east are very apgry.\nPersonally, I see no cause for their\nire. If sugar refiners desire to\ncharge the people of Canada 60 to 60\ncents a hundred extra for sugar and\nput the sa/id 50 or 60 cents in their\nown pockets and succeed dn having\na law passed which permits them in\ndo that sort of thing, there is no reason why Mr. Thrasher, or Mr. Smith\nor Mr. Jones or myself or somew o-\nman who wants cheaper sugar, or\nany other ordinary mortal should not\ntry to prevent them from doings o\nby having a law repealed or amend\ned. Anyway, Mr. Thrasher did ask\nfor a reduction\u00E2\u0080\u0094I had the pleasure\nof handling the cajse before the tariff\nboard. Now let us examine some of\nthe facts. There wdll be no guesswork, either. Every figure will be\ntaken either from thel statements of\nthe refiners themselves or from official figures.\nWhat It Costs\nWe refined in Canada for domestic\nuse in thet year 1926, 760,667,545 lbs\nof sugar. We imported approximately 30,500,000 pounds. As a rough\nfigure to hold in your memory, you\nare not tar out when you say we consume in Canada, 800,000,000 pounds\not sugar a year.\nThe refiners in the brie/ they submitted bUbwud thai Canadian prices\nin 1926 ranged from 55 cents to 68\ncents per hundred pounds above\nAmerican prices. The current quotations as I write show Canadian\nprices 46 cents to 55 cents a hundred\nhigher than American prices. We\nwould be safe in taking 60 cents a|s a\nfair difference over a period of time,\nbut let us take 50 cents as the additional price. Multiply that by our\nsugar consumption and you have\n$4,000,000 as the sum we pay ajbove\nAmerican prices for our sugar.\nWhat We Get\nIn 1925 the total wages paid by all\ntha refiners of Canadian sugar\namounted to $2,897,109. Now don't\ngo too ft-|st, please. That is total\nwages paid and includes wages paid\nfor refining the sugar exported. Exports that year were not large\u00E2\u0080\u0094y00,-\n000,000 pounds, but deduct the cost ot\nrunning this and we reduce by 1-8\nthe amount paid to Canadian labor\nfor refining sugar for Canadian consumption, leaving net wages at $2,-\n533,000 as wages paid by Cunadian\nrefiners. Salaries amounted to $931,\n000. Salaries in this bustiness are\nvery high in proportion to wages\nManagers in the business get good\npay. Add salaries and wages and we\nget roughly $3,460,000. The conclusion ot the whole matter is very simple. We nay in extra prices of sugar\nat least $4,000,000 dn order to protect\nan industry which pays In salaries\nand wages loss ihajn $3,500,000. There\nls no guess-work in this argument;\nthe HguroB are the figures ot the re\nliners.\nOther Factors\nIn answer to this, the refiners tell\nus that other costs must be taken Into consideration., We .have .colder\nweather In Canada. So they tell ut.\nThen why tax sugar, which it a heat-\nforming food? Surely sugar refiners\ndo not suffer from the cold any more\nthan other people. They say that\nother raw materials used cost a pile\nof money. True, but they are very\ncareful to Oiave other raw materials\nused\u00E2\u0080\u0094tilde from sugar\u00E2\u0080\u0094on the free\nlist.\nThe whole pi-olem narrows down\nto this one point. Is it economically\nprofitable to encourage Industries ln\nCanada wh n th? Canadian people\nmust pay i.i the prices changed for\nthe commodity produced, a sugar\ncharge over worl.l prices of more\nthan the entire wages paid in the industry? In other words, will we\nkeep Canadians at homei by taxing\nthem more than they earn apd giving\nthe taxes to our milllonadres\nWhat does it cost? How does it\nPRIME MINISTER\nOTTAWA, Nov. 8.\u00E2\u0080\u0094The significance of the year 1927 dn the\nhistory of Canada; the wisdom\nand foresight of the fathers of confederation; -j parallel between the\nprovincial delegations prior and lending up o the union of the provinces\nand the present conference, and a\nbroadly optlmlstico utlook for the future, were the elements compounded\ndn the addresses of the prime minister aud the premiers ot he provinces\ndelivered tonight at a banquet tendered tbem by the canaldian club\nhere. Rt. *Hon. W. L. Mackenzie\nKing was present with the premiers\nof Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and\nPrince Edward Island, while New\nBrunswick, Nova Scotia* and Alberts\nweire represented by cabinet ministers. The year 1927, said the prime\nminister, would go down ln history,\nand the conference of ministers was\none of the memorable eveints of a\nnoble year. He doubted lt many appreciated how Canada hafd come to\nbe so great a country in such a short\nspace of time.\nPremier King outlined the events\nprevious to the union of 1867, pointing out the influence of the 'Maritime\nprovinces in directing the attention\nof statesmen to the possibilities of\nunion. Step by skip he 'pictured the\nconferences and the final confederation of the original four provinces.\nThe prime minister traced the uoliti-\noal history ot Canada, showing its\nexpansion in the admission of British\nColumbia and Manitoba, and the creation and entry of Sapkatchewan and\nAlberta. Jt was in 1905 that the\nprairie provinces joined the undon,\nso that in effect the Dominion ot Canada was really 22 years old. Who,\nasked the prime minister, in surveying the country's aphlevements.could\ndoubt the future of Sanada when it\nwas humanly possible to express In\nterms of living personalities, the\ngrowth of the Dominion? What\nwoulu' happen in the next generation? he asked.\nNO TO BE CONSOLED\nLittle Katherine was crying, not\nfor for anything in particular, but for\neverythinb in veneral. Her mother,\ntrying to divert her attention, said:\n\"Oh, look at that pretty horse tied\nout there!\"\nBut Katherine took it as one more\ngrievance in life, saydng: \"I want\nthat horse to be a| mule.\"\nfigure out in Saskatchewan, taking\nthat as a typical province merely ber\ncause the application came from\nthere. We consume 800,000,000 or\nroughly 80 pounds of sugar per head\nof population. The added price.tak-\ning 50 cents a hundred as the basis,\nds 40 cents for every man, woman and\nchild in Saskatchewan At 40 cents,\nwith a total population of 821,042, we\nhave a tax in that province of $328,-\n416.80\u00E2\u0080\u0094on the rural population alone\nlt amounts to $231,390.40. Should\nthese people by law be compelled to\nptf this tax\u00E2\u0080\u0094not to tho federal revenues, but to our sugar refiners? Imagine, If you will, an average wctstern\nrural family of five. After paying\nall the expenses of the year, the head\nof the family sticks his hand In his\npocket and pulls out $2\u00E2\u0080\u0094which he\nlujntis to our sugar r< liners. If this\nwcro the only outfit assessing the\nfarmer it might be let pass, but there\nare dtintlreds of others.\nThat in a nutshell Is Ihe problem.\nThat Is what tariffs in this country\nurn doing. They are made to make\nthe rich richer at tho expense of the\npoor. We wero told by lhe sugar re-\nliners that sugar prices have made\nii smalli r -itlvance than other prices\nsince pre-war days. That may bo\nquite true, but THE SUGAR REFINERS ARE STILL GETTING THEIR\nSHARE. All this assertion means\nIs that sugar growers are not getting\nfair prices. It does not Imply that\nrefiners get less for their services.\nGrowers generally are in the same\nposition all over the world. It Is reflected In Saskatchewan aB well as\nIn Cuba. It Is not a special argument in the sugar case.\nWell, what should be done about\nIt? We give the refiners now ap-\nproxlmately$4,000,000\u00E2\u0080\u0094let's cut dt to\n$1,000,000. The good Oanadlrm public may continue to shell out a cool\nmillion and do tt with good heart it\nit feels so .Inclined\u00E2\u0080\u0094but will It continue to do so? The sugar refiners\nthink that It will. We shall wait and\nsee\u00E2\u0080\u0094wait and hopo\u00E2\u0080\u0094hope that lt\nwon't! 3th?

In addition to\nthe bees there ds a lot of valuable\nequipment that requires earful storage during the winter if losses are to\nbe avoided. The most valuable asset a beek'.ieper can have, outside of\nhis bees, is a good supply of drawn\ncombs, but If these are not carefully\nprotected when not in use on the\nhives they an totally destroyed by\nrodents or wax moth larvae.\nThe ,best method of storing combs\nis to place them in supers and then\nstack the supers g*ie above the other\nCn tiers with a queen excluder or\ninverted hive cover beneath and another cover on top of each pile. This\nwill save the combs from the ravages of rats or mice. To prevent\ndamage from wax -.noth the superB of\ncombs should be stored in some un\nheatd building for the winter. Wax\nmoth will not dt.velop in low temperature and 21 degrees of frost will destroy them without harming the\ncombs. Tny unused foundation i s\nhest wrapped in paper and stored ln\ntight fitting boxes. Foundation should\nnot be exposed tnlow temperatures,\nas it becomes very brittle when cold\nand Is easily bro'ien. Other equipment such as hive bobies, supers,\nfloor boards.covers and timpty frames\nshould, of course, be stored under\ncover where it is convenient to do\nany work to them that Ib necessary\nduring the winter. The extractor,\nhoney tanks, carting melter and\nhoney pump should be thoroughly\ncleaned and kept in a dry placq for\nwinter to prevent rusting, etc. Proper\ncare and storage of equipment when\nnot in use retards deterioration and\nreduces cost of production.\nA PREDICTION LIKELY TO COME\nTRUE\nYOU who have had no chance at\nbying need not despair, for yoiV Among the new variettles of apples\nday Is soon to come.
