Anybody Can Kodak 



The No. 1 



BROWNIE 



Pictures, 2i x 2i. Price, $1.00 



If you feel somewhat interested in pho- 

 tography, but are not just sure whether 

 you will really care for it after you have 

 talcen it up, there's a very inexpensive 

 way of making the experiment. The Dol- 

 lar Brownie offers the opportunity. The 

 Brownies are not expensive, but they 

 stand the supreme test— they work. The 

 pictures are Zy, x ZV, inches and the cam- 

 era is truly a, capable little instrument 

 for either snap shots or time exposures. 

 The price is so small that at first thoueht 

 you may consider this camera a toy. The 

 fact is that its production at this price 

 is only made possible because it is made 

 in the Kodak factory, the largest and 

 best appoint'jd camera factory in the 

 world. 



The Brownie Cameras all load in day- 

 light with Kodak film cartridges, have ef- 

 fective lenses and shutters and are cap- 

 able of really high-grade work. They are 

 made in both the box and folding form 

 at prices ranging from $1.00 to $12.00. 



The Book of the Brownies, tells all 

 about them, and may be had free, at any 

 dealers or will be mailed upon request.

oporationu for the past year. I heir expens- 

 es of organization were only five per cent, 

 and tlie returns received from shipments of 

 strawberries and other small fruits were 

 very satisfactory. The net average roturn.s 

 on strawberries were $2.15 a crate of 24 

 boxes and the ra.spberries realized $2.65. 

 Cherries brought from ten to twelve cents 

 a pound according to the way the fruit was 

 packed. 



Creston fruit growers propose to erect a 

 large warehouse near the railway station 

 for the purpose of storing fruit. Tt is ex- 

 pected that this district will ship at least 

 a dozen car loads of fruit next year. 



At a meeting of the Creston fruit 

 growers an interesting discussion took place 

 with regard to the formation of a provincial 

 fruit growers' information bureau. The idea 

 seems to be to have a central bureau with 

 which fruit districts shall be in constant com- 

 munication during the sbipning season. It 

 is also suggested that this bureau keep in 

 touch with the great fruit market centres 

 on the prairie in order that too much fruit 

 may not be sent to one point and too little 

 to .Tuother. Tt has been suggested that the 



government undertake the expense of op- 

 erating such a bureau. 



Some reference was also made to poor 

 packing methods. While in some instances 

 there were individual growers whose pack- 

 ing methods were all that e(Hild be desired 

 the great majority still used a very antiqu- 

 ated and slovenly style of packing. It was 

 agreed that a great deal of further edu- 

 cation was nc'cessary along these lines. 



Mr. R. M. Winslow, head of the provincial 

 horticultural department, made a trip 

 through Kootenay in November on a trip of 

 inspection. Mr. Winslow has been recently 

 appointed to the position he occupies and 

 this was his first official trip through this 

 iiart of the province. He was particu- 

 larly struck with the progress and apparent 

 nrosneritv of the Doukhobor colony at Wa- 

 terloo. A $2.'5.00O irrigation system has 

 iust been installed on their colony. Tt will 

 be 'io situated as U> irrigate all their tract 

 of 2.000 acres. The fruit trees which they 

 nianted last spring are making a very satis- 

 factory growth.

THE SEEDS THAT GROW 



Did you ever prepare a garden most carefully, 

 sow the Seeds most tenderly, and then wait — 

 and wait in vain — for most of them to come 

 up? Then you'll realize the expensiveness of 

 poor seeds — seeds that are too old or too weak 

 to germmate. 



You can't tell by looking at the seeds in the 

 store whether they will grow' or not. You 

 can't be bothered testing them. 

 But you can be sure of getting healthy, vigor- 

 ous seeds that you can depend on by buying
