Various Activities 



L. F. Burrows, Secretary-Treasurer. 



THE various standing committees appointed 

 at the general meeting of the Council, 

 May 17, have been very active and each 

 has accomplished considerable to date. The 

 publicity committee have had several articles 

 regarding the Council published in the press, 

 and this is undoubtedly giving it the advertising 

 which is most necessary at this stage in the 

 organization. Arrangements have been com- 

 pleted with The Canadian Horticulturist, 

 whereby that publication will be the official 

 organ pro tem. of the Council. A column will be 

 conducted, in the interest of the Council, in each 

 month's issue. The chairman of the transporta- 

 tion committee prepared a memorandum wliich 

 was submitted to the special committee of 

 Parliament on transportation costs. The chair- 

 man of the legislation committee was most 

 active in the preparation of the memoranda pre- 

 pared regardmg the enforcement of regulations 

 and the proposed tax on fruit juices. Consider- 

 able progress has also been made by the registra- 

 tion committee; the chairman advises that he 

 expects to be in a position to submit a full report 

 on or about Oct. 1. 



Although a representative of the Council did 

 not appear, personally, before the special com- 

 mittee of the House of Commons, that has been 

 investigating railroad freight rates, arrangements 

 were made whereby a memorandum from the 

 Council would be accepted as evidence. A 

 memorandum was tlicrefor submitted which 

 fully set forth the position of the Canadian fruit 

 and vegetable interests as affected by the Crows 

 Nest Pass agreement, i'?^ J .j 



A letter was addressed to the department of 

 health, regarding candied citron peel, it being 

 represented that melon peel was being placed 

 upon the market as Canadian citron peel and 

 therefore constitutes an infraction of the mis- 

 branding clause of the Food and Drugs Act. 

 An investigation is beint conducted in this 

 connection by the department. 



A communication was received from the 

 president of the Ontario Horticultural Associa- 

 tion advising that tlicir association desired to 

 hzve a representative on the Council, and as 

 provision was made in the constitution for a 

 representative of the amateur horticulturists, he 

 named J. E. Carter, Guelph, vice-president of 

 the O.H..^. The amateur horticulturists of 

 Ontario, having a membership of 32,000 in the 

 O.H.A., are materially interested in the registra- 

 tion of horticultural plants, shrubs and trees, 

 one of the objects of the Council. 



Under separate headings in this column, 

 various other activities of the Council are ex- 

 plained in detail. The constitution and by-laws 

 are published in full on page 147 of the" Fruit 

 Edition. 



Readers of The Canadian Horticulturist 

 are requested to vise the facilities which the 

 Council at present affords of having the diffi- 

 culties of the industry in whicli they are engaged 

 settled. The secretary, whose address is 21 

 Cliff St., Ottawa, is always ready to give his 

 attention to even the smallest matter which may 

 be brought before him. 



Important Resolutions 



AT a meeting of the Canadian Horticultural 

 Council, held at Ottawa. May 17, when 

 the Council was formally organized, an 

 appreciation of the services of Ci W. Baxter, who 

 was retiring as fruit commissioner to accept the 

 position of general manager of the Niagara 

 Peninsula Growers, Ltd., was expressed in a 

 resolution. The Council recommended as his 



successor, G. E. Mcintosh, fruit transportation 

 specialist. Fruit Branch, Ottawa. 



A resolution was adopted urging the Dominion 

 Government to enforce rigidly the regulations 

 with respect to pure foods as applied to bever- 

 ages, and that, if such regulations do not afford 

 full protection to consumers, producers and manu- 

 facturers, these be amcn<led accordingly. The 

 resolution pointed out that many of the adver- 

 tisements appearing in public with respect to 

 non-intoxicating beverages arp deceptive in 

 character, inasmuch as they convey to the pro- 

 spective purchaser the impression that said 

 lieverages are made of pure fruit juices. The 

 Council believed that many of these beverages 

 do not contain any fruit juices whatever, and 

 that the Federal Government have confirmed 

 this belief by analyses. 



Another resolution recommended that the 

 administration of the laws governing the adul- 

 teration of jams, jellies, canned fruits and vege- 

 tables, fruit beverages, etc., be transferred from 

 the department of health to the department 

 of agriculture. 



Apple Barrel Shortage 



THE secretary of the C H.C., after having 

 made a complete survey of the amount of 

 apple barrel stock and made up barrels avail- 

 able for this year's crop, announces that there 

 is every probability of a serious shortage. In a 

 few of the barrel sections, the stocks held by the 

 coopers may fill the possible demand, but in the 

 ma;ority of districts, where a large crop is fore- 

 casted, there does not appear to be sufficient 

 stock to meet more than half of the requirements. 



In explanation of the shortage of stock it is 

 claimed that the barrel manufacturers, having 

 suffered severe financial losses last year, have 

 not made as large purchases as usual, and that 

 on Aprii 1, 1922, there was only about 58% of 

 the available supply of cooperage stock in sight 

 as compared with the same time in 1921. There- 

 fore, there is not nearly sufficient on hand should 

 the cooperage turn out as at present prospected. 

 This condition also applies to the barrel apple 

 sections in the United States, where official 

 reports from Washington, D.C., state that the 

 crop will be at leaet, 200% greater than that of 

 l&st year. 



The barrel manufacturers point out also that 

 the apple growers are in the habit of holding back 

 their orders for barrels until picking starts, thus 

 causing a demand which overtaxes the capacity
