OI7TUX)K FOR THB INDUSTRY 



Mr. Winslow, of the horticultural branch 

 of the dopartment of agriculture, spoke on 

 the devploi)iiient of the association on new 

 linos and said that the department intended 

 to collaborate with the fruit growers in 

 handling the output of the fruit. He an- 

 ticipates strong competition for British Col- 

 umbia fruit in the future, Oregon being a 

 dangerous rival, as their expert methods will 

 contrast with our lack of organization, es- 

 I)ecially as many new and inexperienced 

 fruit growers in our province, will, for the 

 first time, be placing their fruit on the 

 market. This he said emphasized the need 

 of collaboration. 



Mr. Metcalf, who watched the markets for 

 us last year in the prairie provinces, said 

 that what we want is more fruit and better 

 fruit. There were three alternative meth- 

 ods for handling our fruit in these pro- 

 vinces: 1, utilizing the existing wholesale 

 houses ; 2, establishing our own ; and 3, by 

 co-operative associations. Much discussion 

 had been raised about the taking over of 

 the management of the association by the 

 department of agriculture, and Mr. Scott 

 stated that arrangements had been made for 

 a big meeting of the representative fruit 

 growers of the province at Kamloops next 

 April, when the association's affairs could 

 be discussed. 



MISCBLLANEOTTS 



An excellent address on "The Marketing 

 of Fruit was given by Mr. RuUee, a whole- 

 sale fruit dealer of Winnipeg. Mr. W. E. 

 Scott gave an account of his recent experi- 

 ences in England in care of the British Col- 

 umbia fruit exhibited there. These ad- 

 dresses will be reported at length in a later 

 issue of The Canadian HoRTictTLTrrRiST. —

In the interests of the fruit trade I have 

 visited all the towns in eastern Ontario. I 

 find the stock of winter apples in these 

 places in limited quantities on account of 

 local apples being in fair quantities and the 

 price of export pack high. I find fruiters 

 asking from $4 to $5 a barrel for best brands 

 of Spy, Baldwin and Golden Russet. At 

 this price, only the few can buy freely. The 

 majority are well sati.^fied with their fruit. 

 Several complained of apples being damaged 

 by hard pressing, especially the Spys that 

 they had put away for long keeping. 



I am glad to know that the packers in 

 Ontario I have been visiting lately are wak- 

 ing up to the fact that they are injuring the 

 fruit by hard racking and filling barrels too 

 full. The best lesson they have got lately 

 is when a purchaser comes to inspect a lot 

 from the pressed end and says: "I cannot 

 buy your pack on account of the damage 

 you have done by overpressing." 



Many, after racking well, only fill their
