land that will suroly bring good money 

 back. There is not enough supervision here 

 yet over the handling of box fruits. I 

 think placards with the words, "Box 

 Fruits," must be laid down carefully in 

 every instance. These placards in French 

 and English placed in steamship sheds 

 would be a great benefit to the fruit trade. 



British Columbia 



Our provincial government has adopted 

 a policy of placing power sprayers at 

 various points in the province for demon- 

 stration purposes. One has been installed 

 recently at Creston for the Kootenay dis^ 

 trict, and another has been ordered for 

 Grand Forks. The government has two of 

 these power sprayers in the Okanagan ; two 

 on the Lower Fraser ; one at Salmon Arm, 

 and one on Vancouver island. Three more 

 are to be obtained in addition to the one 

 ordered for Grand Forks. They will be 

 placed in the Okanagan and on Vancouver 

 islnad. The experts in charge of these 

 machines will teach the growers what sprays 

 to use and how and when they should be 

 used. No charge will be made Ijut the 

 growers will be expected to supply the 

 spraying material and a man to hold the 

 spraying rods. 



The government this year will continue 

 the same policy as was followed last year 

 in regard to the continuation of the pack- 

 ing schools. They have been productive of 

 great benefit in many districts. 



The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway have 

 procured .samples of apples grown in the 

 Kitsumkalum Valley, ninety miles east of 

 Prince Rupert. These apple? are of dif- 

 ferent varieties, beautiful in their coloring, 

 and the flavor is said to be equal to the 

 best brands grown in Ontario, and entirely 

 unlike the inferior flavored fruit grown 

 under irrigation in the more southerly 

 regions and in practically all of the Pacific 

 Coast states. The specimens came from the 

 orchard of Mr. D. Stewart, who has about 

 fifteen acres under cultivation. They re- 

 present the first grown on the operated line 

 of the Grand Trunk Pacific. In the valleys 

 of the Kitsumkalum, Lakelse and Copper 

 rivers with other areas along the Skeena 

 River, there should be approximately 

 300,000 acres of ideal fruit lands placed uii- 

 der cultivation in comparatively few years, 

 and much of this land can be procured by 

 pre-emption in 160-acre lots, the only 

 charge being one dollar per acre, in addi- 

 tion to the residence requirements of the 

 law. It is predicted that this territory will 

 become the centre of a new and greater 

 fruit district in British Columbia. 



At Prince Rupert this summer straw- 

 berries grown along the Skeena River and 

 in the valleys of the Kitsumkalum, Lakels© 

 and Copper rivers- came into market for the 

 first time in considerable quantities, and 

 the fruit was reported to be superior in 

 quality and extremely high colored.
