a uniform price throughout the season is 

 needed for the western trade. All grapes 

 shipped to points west of Winnipeg should 

 be pre-cooled, to prevent molding. Pre- 

 cooling and better packing were needQd to 

 recover the lost western trade. Jobbers In 

 the west are making no profit on Ontario 

 grapes, but find it to their advantage to 

 handle grapes from California. Growers 

 here are not likely to get more than $7 

 a ton on the American market next seasoi; 

 California shipped. 4,000 cars more to the 

 east last year than ever before, and will 

 probably ship 5,000 more in 1922. Ameri 

 can growers are planting grapes heavil;. 

 and we must pay more attention to our own 

 market. A box package Is needed for grapes 

 going to the west, as all those shipped to 

 Alberta the past season arrived in bad con- 

 dition. 



Out of 334 cars shipped in the States only 

 three cars were subjected to any reductions. 

 During the past season the Canadian market 

 was higher by nearly $3 a ton than the 

 American market. 



A. M. Cocks, of Winona, proposed that It 

 be made compulsory that all growers who 

 sold their grapes through the company be- 

 come shareholders. The proposal met with 

 the approval of the meeting, and it was left 

 to the directors to work out a scheme that 

 would be equitable to all. 



The shareholders passed a resolution 

 commending the Hon. Manning Doherty, 

 Minister of Agriculture, for his interest in 

 the fruit industry of the Niagara Penin- 

 sula, the encouragement given by his de- 

 partment to the co-operative movement, 

 and to the establishment of central pack- 

 ing houses and cold storage plants. 



For the purpose of assisting and main- 

 taining a cold storage plant to be erected 

 at St. Catharines, the directors were given 

 authority, if expedient, to make a call of 

 10 per cent, on the stock. 



The following directors were elected for 

 1922: T. J. Mahoney, W. C. Thompson, F. 

 D. Cole, W. W. Armstrong, A. W. Smith, A. 

 B. GuUinger, G. A. Welstead. 



The ice and snow storm that swept the 

 Niagara Peninsula on Feb. 22 apparently 

 did not materially influence the prospects 

 for a fruit crop. The greatest damage was 

 ia orchards where pruning had not been 

 done. There was considerable breakage of 

 limbs in some sections, especially on old 

 trees, and fruit buds were injured to some 

 extent. Shade trees with long limbs and 

 'branches were badly broken. Early in 

 March the outlook in general for a bumper 

 crop of fruit was good.
