shipping point, and then senA clear to To- 

 ronto, where it must have retailed for be- 

 tween $4 and $5 per box. Sales of B. C. 

 apples on the prairies have been facilitated 

 by the shortage of cars, which has been 

 tying up Washington shippers even worse 

 than this province. P'irms who have been 

 indifferent whether they got their fruit sup- 

 ply from British Columbia or Washington, 

 are thus in some measvu-e being forced into 

 a little more patriotic consideration of the 

 matter. 



It Is In the exjKjrt business, however, that 

 the greatest expansion of apiple markets Is 

 brought to light. To Europe, Asia, Africa, 

 and Australia large shipments of apples 

 have been sent from this Valley. Straight 

 west across the Pacific new marliets have 

 been found in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and 

 the Philippine Islands. With the Antipodes 

 a tremendous volume of business has de- 

 veloped. By a contract made at the begin- 

 ning of the year, the Okanagan United 

 Growers are shipping more than fifty car- 

 loads of apples to Australia and New Zea- 

 land, and other firms In the Valley have 

 also shipped there. From South Africa trial 

 shipments in iprevious seasons have brought 

 substantial orders, and a number of cars 

 have been dispatched thence. Shipments 

 have also been made from the Okanagan to 

 South American points. The British mar- 

 ket is being supplied increasingly every year 

 with British Oolumbia apples. It is difficult 

 to estimate what the business amounts to at 

 present, probably about fifty carloads from 

 all Okanagan sources. The British trade is 

 a valuable connection, but It Is somewhat 

 hampered just now by the scarcity of ocean 

 tonnage. 



Okanagan apples were -well to the fore at 

 the Calgary Soil Products exhibition held in 

 October. A fifty-box exhibit entered in the 

 name of the Okanagan United Growers by 

 the Summerland Fruit Union, one of its 

 local bodies, gained first prize in its class, 

 defeating other districts of the province. 

 This fruit came from the packing houses of 

 the Summerland Union, under the manage- 

 ment of John Lawler, who at the last Spo- 

 kame International Fair won the world's 

 apple packing championship against all 

 comers. Summerland and Penticton also 

 had other winning exhibits at this show.
