 ly made of the best carbon steel,

 protected from rust.

the directors of the different' organizations 

 to take cognizance of this fact and set at 

 rest these disquieting storles.which do much 

 harm and no good. Good healthy criticism 

 is always in order but when criticism gets 

 beyond the criticizing stage something must 

 be done. 



And whatever action Is decided upon It 

 should be taken with caution, roresight and 

 good judgment. The fruit business in the 

 Okanagan Is not the only branch of commer- 

 cial life that is feeling the pinch. Many sub- 

 stantial concerns which have been carry- 

 ing on for years have failed while others 

 are struggling on as best they can. We are 

 passing through a period of readjustment 

 and times like these demand that careful 

 and considerate action guide the ships of 

 commerce through narrow and tempestuous 

 channels. — Vernon News.

BEFORE the B. C. Traffic and Credit As- 

 sociation members adjourned their 

 recent, meeting, E. Doberer, Salmon 

 Arm, the president, was honored by fel- 

 low members and was asked to accept a 

 handsomely engraved silver tea service as 

 a token of appreciation. W. H. Smith, 

 Vernon, made the presentation and referred 

 In the most laudatory terms to the high 

 jplace in which Mr. Doberer was held by the 

 shippers. Mr. Doberer thanked the donors 

 in his usual happy style. 



Oflicers elected at the meeting for the en- 

 suing year were: Pres., E. Doberer, manager 

 Salmon Arm Farmers' Exchange; vice-pres., 

 B. McDonald, B. C. Growers, Kelowna; 

 executive, F. Landry, B. C. Berry Growers'; 



D. McNalr, Armstrong; C. L. Lowe, Vernon; 



E. C. Skinner, Vernon; L. Hayes, Kelowna; 

 H. B. Armstrong, Keremeos; E. Norman, 

 Nelson; Guy Constable, Creston. R. M. 

 Winslow was re-appointed manager and sec- 

 retary, with W. M. Scott as his assistant. 



The fruit industry of Canada as well as 

 of the United States, sustained a heavy 

 loss In the sudden death of G. Harold Powell, 

 general manager of the California Fruit 

 Growers' Exchange, at Pasadena, Calif., on 

 Feb. 18. To Mr. Powell, more than to any 

 other one person, the fruit industry of 

 America is indebted for ideals in the co- 

 operative marketing of fruit 



Many of the readers of The Canadian 

 Horticulturist learned with regret also of 

 the death in January of Dr. John P. Stewart, 

 who for 12 years was head of the depart- 

 ment of iwmology of Pennsylvania State 

 College, and more recently engaged largely 

 in experimental work in farm fertilization. 

 Dr. Stewart frequently addressed meetings 

 in Canada and was always welcome.
