Importations of nursery stock this srason, 

 according to Mr. Tbumu£ Cunningham, In- 

 .spector of Fruit Pests, are bigg«r than ever 

 before. Some forty carloads have been in- 

 spected since the opening of the season, and 

 sixteen men at the fumigating station were 

 kept busy at the work. Mr. Cunningham 

 reports that there wa« not quite so much 

 infection this year as formerly though there 

 ifi still room for improvement in this re- 

 spect. Nearly all the stock coming is 

 American or European. There is nothing 

 from Ontario this year. 



When asked recently as to the prospects 

 for the coming year, Mr. Cunningham said : 

 "The prospects for a bumper crop were 

 never better. This is not only true of 

 apples and pears, but of peaches and apri- 

 cots. In the Okanagan Valley they have 

 had favorable weather conditions and are 

 almost sure to have the best crop ever 

 grown in British Columbia. I shall be dis- 

 appointed if we do not ship six thousand 

 cars out of the Okanagan and Kootenay dis- 

 tricts." 



Ue added that he hoped one result of a 

 good crop would be that there would be 

 more local fruit sold in the home markets, 

 as we have been too long displaying Ameri- 

 can fruit in our chief cities. We were also 

 importing far too much nursery stock. 

 There was not the slightest excuse for im- 

 porting thirty-seven carloads this year, as 

 the climate and conditions for raising nur- 

 sery stock were as favorable in British 

 Columbia as anywhere. Favored as we are 

 by freight, duty and inspection, the failure 

 to grow more nursery stock seems to be a 

 reflection on the enterprise of British Col- 

 umbia growers. 



The Provincial Government has been ask- 

 ed to establish a demonstration station at 

 Chilliwack, consisting of three acres, made 

 up of one acre of Cuthbert raspberries, one 

 half acre Logan berries, one half acre Snider 

 blackberries, and one acre of Evergreen 

 blackberries and also some rhubarb. 



The DoukhoLor Society, which last year 

 operated the Columbia-Kootenay jam fac- 

 tory at Nelson, will this year move the fac- 

 tory to their own lands at Brilliant, north 

 of Trail. The new factory will be equipped 

 with the latest appliances and a high grade 

 product only will be put up. The society 

 is already contracting with ranchers in the 

 district for this year's crop.

 journal of its kind I have ever seen ; it is 

 most interestingly laid out, in fact a land- 

 scape garden of literature. — L. J. Pashler,
