cartons is of gre;it iiiiportaiuc. These 

 shoiikl be sealetl after having been 

 filled and before they aie idaced in the 

 warehouses or cars. In this \va\- the 

 fruit is not only protectetl against in- 

 festation, but is preserved for long peri- 

 ods in the condition in which it was 

 paclved. Fibre-board packages have 

 been found satisfactory containers for 

 the fruit, and sealing can be done in 

 several ways. Machines have been in- 

 ventetl, for example, which will rapidly 

 seal small packages of dried fruit and 

 at a moderate cost. One machine de- 

 signed to wrap cartons 8x3x3 inches, 

 will wrap and seal a minimum of 10,0(10 

 a day, at an estimated cost, including 

 all material and the wages of the oper- 

 ator, of less than .$1.00 a thousand. 

 When the output is increased to from 

 15,(100 to 20,000 cartons a day, the cost 

 will be from 80 to !)0 cents a thousand. 

 .\t this rate it is estimated that the 

 machine will pay for itself in a com- 

 IKuatively short space of time, and that 

 the manufacturer will be able to de- 

 liver a sealed product which is prac- 

 tically safe from all danger of infesta- 

 tion. Further details in regard to this 

 subject are contained in Bulletin No. 

 235 of the U. S. Department of Agricul- 

 ture, "The Control of Dried-Fruit In- 

 sects in California." — U. S. Department 

 of Agriculture Bulletin. 



Agricultural and Horticultural Associa- 

 tion of Kelowna 



Kelowna has for several years past 

 held very successful agricultural and 

 horticultural exhibitions organized by 

 this association (previously known as 

 the Okanogan Mission Trades and Agri- 

 cultural Association). Being in the 

 heart of the Okanogan, the district from 

 which comes the finest agricultural 

 products of the province, and Kelowna 

 fruit, jjarticuhuh apples, having proved 

 its pre-endnence in conipetition with 

 fruit from all parts of the North Ameri- 

 can continent, it will easily be under- 

 stood that it has been possible to get 

 together very creditable exhibitions, 

 which have attracted large nnndjci's of 

 visitors. The 1015 show is to be held 

 .SejitendK'r 27 to 2i), and will be much 

 on the lines of the show held last year. 

 The directors feel that this year the 

 firms from whom the people of the dis- 

 trict have been obtaining the greater 

 part of their many letiuirements should 

 be given an opportunity of showing 

 their interest in what is the jirincipal 

 event in the Kelowna calendar, by do- 

 nating special ijrizes for the show. Such 

 prizes, particularly if oflered for ex- 

 hibits in some way, if only remotely, 

 related to the business of the firm do- 

 r.aling, would add very materialh to 

 the attractions of the show, both from 

 an exhil)itoi"s and a visitor's viewpoint, 

 and would naturalh draw the atten- 

 tion of the general public to the name 

 of the firm in a way to ensure a very 

 friendly feeling toward that firm. The 

 ilirectors will be grateful for an.\ con- 

 tribution you care to make to the piize 

 list, and will carry out any reasonable 

 conditions imposed in connection with 

 special prizes donated. I shall be
