BROWNIE 



The first Brownie made 2% x 

 2% pictures, and sold for a dollar. 



It was made so well that the in- 

 evitable happeneH. Other and 

 bigger Brownies for bigger people 

 simply had to follow. They are 

 made in the Kodak faqtories un- 

 der Kodak superintendence by 

 Kodak workmen. Habit with these 

 people means honest workmanship. 

 That's why the Brownie, a low 

 priced camera, has been and is a 

 success.

 truly pocket camera for 2Mi x 4% pic- 

 tures, loading in daylight with Kodak film 

 cartridges. Capacity 12 exposures with- 

 out reloading. Finest quality Meniscus

 Automatic shutter for snapshots or in- 

 stantaneous exposures, two tripod sockets,

 in every detail. Covered with a durable 

 imitation leather, and has full nickeled 



Httings.

TORONTO, CAN. 



was approximately 636 cars. Of this total, 

 it is estimatoti that there were 10 cars of 

 small fruits, principally cherries, with a 

 few strawberries and raspberries. Plums 

 and prunes ai)proximated 44 cars, apricots 

 7 cars, crab apples 36 cars, pears 18 cars. 



PEACHES 77 CARS 



The peach crop returned a total of 77 

 cars approximately. This total includes as 

 well as the actual exports from the valley, 

 the surprising quantity of 110 tons put uj> 

 by three canneries, Kelowna, Peachland, 

 and Summerland. 



To the Big Bed Apple of the Okanagan, 

 however, must be given place of honor, for 

 the total export production is closely esti- 

 mated by the experts engaged directly in 

 the supervision and handling of the ship- 

 ments, at 344 cars, much the largest re- 

 turn on record, and due in large degree to 

 much of the acreage of young plantations 

 now first beginning to yield an appreciable 

 quantity. 



VEGETABLES 



There is to be added to the export busi- 

 ness from the Okanagan Valley the very 

 large total of 386 cars of vegetables and 

 other pi-oduce (excluding hay) for the 1910 

 season. 



The grand total, estimated for the Okana- 

 gan Lake points and Vernon is approxi- 

 mately 925 to 930 car loads, or very close 

 to 1,000 cars. Considering these totals, it 

 is readily seen that the estimate of 1,200 

 car loads for 1911 may very easily be 

 reached and passed. 



Prompt Market Reports ,, 



The British Columbia provincial govern- 

 ment is taking steps for a most compre- 

 hensive system of market reporting for the 

 benefit of the fruit growers this season. 

 Last summer, L. A. Metcalfe, the govern- 

 ment's market commissioner, was alone in 

 the field, and his reports to Victoria were 

 distributed throughout the fruit districts by 

 mail. This season the government has 

 promised to have agencies in the principal 

 distributing markets of the prairie and 

 from the telegraphic reports sent to Vic- 

 toria bulletins will be wired out of the 

 affiliated fruit as.sociations. 



This will cut at least five days from the 

 time required to get market information to 

 originating points for fruit and will, in 

 fact, keep the associations posted within 

 twenty-four hours of the actual market. In 

 addition, one agent will be maintained in 

 the competitive valleys just across the 

 United States border to advise on market 

 conditions there, for with reciprocity loom- 

 ing up, it is considered to be important to 

 keep in close touch with United States 

 conditions, methods and organizations. 



The fruit growers of Durham county held 

 a meeting at Newcastle, Ont., on May 15th, 

 and formed The Durham Co-operative Fruit 

 Growers' Association. The following oflioers 

 were elected : President, G. H. Martyn ; 

 Vice-President, Dr. H. C. Leslie; Secretary- 

 Treasurer and Manager, W. J. Oke; Direc- 

 tors, A. G. Maybee, J. A. Rae, B. F. 

 Peters, R. A. Westington, A. J. Runnalls, 

 W. H. Symons, M. G. Welch, M. Osborne, 

 W. A. Meadows. It was decided to admit 

 no members who would not take good care 

 of their orchards by pruning and spraying 

 and who would not agree to pack apples of 

 the highest quality, above rather than be- 

 low the required standard. Mr. P. J. 

 Carey, Dominion Fruit Inspector, and R. 

 S. Duncan, of the Ontario Department of 

 Agriculture, assisted in the work of or- 

 ganization.
