Still another instance of the Chinese 

 thrift is found in that in many cases he is 

 his own seed grower. Plants that here and 

 there go to seed in the annual crops are 

 used, and with that seed that takes two 

 years to produce our Chinese farmer grows 

 that, too. 



Operations are as yet largely confined to 

 rented land, and this involves economy and 

 good management, but it is safe to say 

 that a few years will see the hard-working 

 Oriental owning much of the land he uses. 

 He usually runs his land on a good eco- 

 nomic basis, often grows his own hay, too, 

 and uses every square inch of land avail- 

 able. The size- of the holdings varies, but 

 the average acreage is anywhere from 30 

 to 40 acres. — Family Herald and Weekly

I BRITISH COLUMBIA | 

 The 1922 Berry Crop 



T. B. Windross, Victoria. 



IT is claimed that there will be some 

 reduction in the acreage for strawberry 

 crops in British Columbia this year, but 

 a very great increase in the acreage in 

 raspberries, owing to the fact that statis- 

 tics kept by the British Columbia Berry 

 Growers' Association have proved that the 

 growers receive more value out of rasp- 

 berries than strawberries. 



Special marketing last season on. the 

 prairies and in the eastern provinces had 

 the effect of disposing of a large part of 

 the crop that in other years has been diffi- 

 cult to unload. Another feature of the 

 year's operations which brought in mone- 

 tary returns was that of taking care of the 

 surplus fruit by means of a special process 

 in cold storage and canning arrangements. 



Since the first of the year, partly frozen 

 strawberry pulp has been greatly in de- 

 mand all over the Western States, where 

 the growers were unfortunate In not hav- 

 ing their surplus taken care of in the same 

 way as the British Columbia producers. 

 California, in spite of its vast fruit-growing 

 resources, has been one of the best pur- 

 chasers, and some of the pulp has gone as 

 far southeast as Pittsburgh, Pa. In Janu- 

 ary, a shipment of British Columbia" straw- 

 berry pulp was sent to Great Britain on 

 one of the ships which ply between "Vic- 

 toria and Europe. 



The Berry Growers' Association expects 

 to be able to ship every ounce of strawberry 

 and raspberry pulp grown in the province 

 this year. Prices have been good this last 

 year for canned goods and, with increased
