NIAGARA BRAND SPRAY CO., Limited 



Burlington, Ontario 



ket wag emphasized. We were told that our 

 apples that went to the western market were 

 not as well packed as those that went from 

 Ontario. 



Mr. P. IT. Parker, of Kentville, suggest- 

 ed that the fruit growers of the Annapolis 

 Valley should establish a special brand, and 

 suggested the brands " Grown For The 

 Ta.st6 " or " The Land of Evangeline 

 Brand." 



In a discussion of the subject, "Is Apple 

 Growing being over done?" Mr. W. T. Ma- 

 coun made light of the question, contend- 

 ing that it is an old one and that the dan- 

 ger is imaginary rather than real. 

 RESOLTJTION8 



A resolution was carried recommending 

 that the duty on apples coming into Canada 

 should be increased to equal the duty on 

 apples coming into the States, It created 

 an animated discussion. 



The Dominion government will be urged 

 to provide for a more thorough system of 

 in.spection at the packing house, ports of 

 .shipment and el.sewhere, including open 

 packages when and where advisable, and to 

 issue certificates of inspection when circum- 

 stances and conditions warrant such action. 



The government will be urged also to 

 add to the duties of the fruit inspectors the 

 inspection of the barrels in which the fruit 

 is packed, and to so amend the act as re- 

 quire all coopers who manufacture barrels in 

 which apples are packed to brand their 

 name and address on the side of each bar- j 

 rel. 



It is proposed to hold the district horti- 

 cultural exhibition hereafter in Halifax, 

 where it is believed that it will be more 

 largely attended and thus compare more 

 favorablv with the exhibitions held in To- 

 ronto, Vancouver and elsewhere. 



A resolution was passed at the instance 

 of the "W. C. T. v., expressing the view that 

 the growing of tobacco on the experimental 

 farm at Kentville would be detrimental to 

 the youth of Nova Scotia. 



A motion was adopted requesting the go- 

 vernment to define the size of number one 

 and number two apples. 



Niagara District Notes 



There is a possib'litv that a pre-cooling 

 station may be established this sea.son in the 

 Niagara district and an effort is being made 

 to have it located at Hamilton. At the re- 

 cent Dominion Fruit Conference at Ottawa 

 Cold Storage Commissioner J. A. Ruddick 

 reported that the government had amended 

 the cold .storage act in a manner that would 

 permit of the government defraying part of 

 the expense of the erection of such a build- 

 ing, providing it is built and operated on 

 lines approved bv the government. He 



stated that negotiations were still in pro- 

 gress between the promoters and the go- 

 vernment. 



A company capitalized at $150,000 is ar- 

 ranging for the erectior this season of a 

 new canning factory at Hamilton. 



A banquet will be tendered Hon. Martin 

 Burrell, the new Dominion Minister of Agri- 

 culture, at the Welland House, St. Cathar- 

 ines, by the members of the Niagara Penin- 

 sula Fruit Growers' Association in connec- 

 tion with their spring meetigs which will 

 be held on March fourth, fifth and sixth. 



Our fruit growers are interested in the 

 discussion bv members of the Toronto City 

 Council of the proposal to erect a fruit mar- 

 ket. A special committee of the council has 

 been dealing mth the matter, and Property 

 Commissioner Harris has been requested to 

 select a suitable site.
