We would like to urge good attendance on-the part of all those who are interested. in community’ improvement and community development: APPLE PIE As a young boy we enjoyed very greatly home made apple pie with whipped cream, it was always a fine treat and one keenly anticipated. No doubt it was an'economical dessert be- eause most of the ingredients were home produced and tt was always possible to divide the pie so that everyoné-had a fair share. Probably no one ever gave any thought to what the pie cost. P On Monday the writer had oc- easion to Have lunch in an Ot tawa restaurant and chose for dessert apple pie (plain apple pie, no cream, no {ce cream, no trimmings.) We purposelly avoided the mo-ré.exotic choices in the interest (as we. thought) of economy. However, spiraling food costs have hit the apple pie and we_were charged 40 cents for what in many ways was a pretty indifferent example of what we had enjoyed so greatly years ago. Assuming that the pie had been sliced six ways we

arrive at $2.40 for~ one~apple--

pie. We sugpegt that the produc- er of the flour and the apples re- =geived-perhaps.at the outside 10 cents. It is not to be wondered that the housewives are rioting in Ottawa if our piece of pie and the $1.20 turnip are examples of what is happening in food prices. Seriously we are rather con- fronted by the fact that the con- sumer generally is not holding the farmer responsible for these high-prices, possibly no particu- lar person or group may. be pro- fiting unduly the problem is very likely related to the terrific com- plexity of-getting--anything..done in large cities and the great number of different people that have their fingers in the pie. While generally the develop- ment of large cities is. consider- ed_to be an example of progress ‘# must be recognized that even with the efficiencies of mass __ production the cost of doing

many things is multiplied great |.

of October and this leaves actu-

ally only eight working days in a month which is the last one that can really be depended upon to provide suitable condi- tions for the carrying out of farm work. While generally No- vember can be counted on to provide considerably suitable weather there has been vears when very ‘severe weather oc- curred quite early in the month. It no longer seems. possible to have farm operations neatly cleaned up by All Saints Eve and that. was once considered the deadline for farmers who were on top of their work. - POTATOES

"Fall crop is now estimated at 203 million cwt.—up slightly from---the.... August... estimate still five per cent under 1965. There’s a good chance the crop estimate will be raised in subse-

quent reports. Another factor to consider— cullout was heavy last year, so fresh market s u_p- plies could be greater than year ago. Current prices are some 25 -to 75 cents higher than 1965 har- vest levels. If these carry into harvest, storage gains for the season figure to.be n4#.
