SUCCESSFUL EXPORT SHIPMENTS OF TENDER FRUITS. 



terprise until we see public confidence in it 

 established ; until the days of glutted home 

 markets for fruit are passed away forever, 

 at least for fruit of the higher g-rades, and 

 until the prices of these goods at home are 

 established by their advanced export value, 

 instead of their being sacrificed as now on 

 overloaded home markets. Why should our 

 pears, that are worth from 75c. a basket for 

 export, and our peaches that are worth from 

 $1.00 to $1.50 for that purpose, be sold here 

 at 15 to 30 cents? Why, with such possi- 

 bilities just within our reach should the 



thing be dropped, and our growers left to 

 struggle along in an industry that, though 

 once profitable, is now becoming unprofita- 

 ble ? 



The Dominion Government has kindly 

 opened the door for us, and the Provincial 

 Government has begun to take an interest 

 in us ; let us now strongly petition our own 

 province to help us still further to pursue 

 this enterprise, and not to drop it until it is 

 as firmly established as any of our other in- 

 dustries.
