Nursery Stock Shortage 



Al'"rivR a very careful invesliijation and as 

 a result of information gathered from 

 nurserymen in both Canada and the United 

 States.the secretary of the Council advises that 

 the supply of fruit trees, particularly apple, pear, 

 plum and cherry, for planting this fall and next 

 spring will be the lowest for a numljer oryears, 

 and considerably less than for last fall and this 

 spring, when there was not an adequate supply 

 to meet the demand. 



In view of the time it takes to propagate fruit 

 trees, nurserymen are still in the high priced 

 period. The fruit trees that nurseries arc selling 

 this year represent the higliest cost of any trees 

 produced within the last .30 years. 



In the case of apple trees, the greatest shortage 

 will be felt.in commercial varieties most used in 

 Ontario and Nova Scotia, such as King, Stark, 

 Wagener, Gravenstein, Golden Russet, Grimes 

 Golden, Baldwin, R.I. Greening, and Red 

 Astrachans. 



To Jam Manufacturers 



A CIRCULAR for the information of jam 

 manufacturers was issued from Ottawa on 

 July 4, over the signature of J. A. Amyot, 

 Deputy Minister of Health. As the instructions 

 therein contained indirectly concern the Welfare 

 of the fruit industry of this country, the circular 

 is here reprinted in full: 



'In the amendments to the regulations under 

 the Food and Drugs Act which have just been 

 passed by Council, paragraph 10 of Standard IX. 

 "Fruit and Fruit Products" (Page 18, regula- 

 tions under Food and Drugs Act), is cancelled 

 and the paragraph given below substituted: — 



"When jam, marmalade, fruit, butter or jelly 

 contains other fruit or fruit juice than that which 

 gives its special name to the article, the fact of 

 the presence of such other fruit shall be stated 

 upon the label, in lettering as large and as dis- 

 tinct as that used in naming the fruit princi- 

 pally present. The requirement does not apply 

 to the use of 10% of other fruit juice, such fruit 

 juice having a pectin content of not more than 

 .75% (or the equivalent in pectin preparation 

 or fruit juice of pectin content other than above) 

 as may be determined by analysis. ' ' 

 " This Regulation is now in force." 



Fruit Beverages 



IN the opinion of the Council the regulations 

 of the Dominion Department of Health are 

 not being enforced which require that, " when 

 a beverage bears the name of a fruit, without 

 limiting words, it is understood that the actual 

 juice of such fruit has been used in its prepara- 

 tion. If instead of the actual fruit juice, artificial 

 flavor has been used, the beverage must be 

 labeled as imitation or artificial, and the 

 lettering must be plain, legible and conspicuous, 

 and on the main panel of the main label. "If 

 artificial color has been used, the word colored 

 or dyed must similarly appear on the label. " 



The Council is of the opinion that such regula- 

 tions as were given wide publicity by the depart- 

 ment of health in a circular letter under date of 

 March 14, 1921, should be rigidly enforced and 

 the following resolution was therefore, passed at 

 its meeting:— 



"Whereas many of the advertisements ap- 

 pearing in the public press and in various 

 other publications, also on billboards with re- 

 spect to non-intoxicating beverages, are de- 

 ceptive in character inasmuch as they convey 

 to the prospective purchaser that said bever- 

 ages are made of pure fruit juices, and 



"Whereas we have reason to believe that 

 many of these do not contain any fruit juice 

 whatsoever, and that the federal government 

 have confirmed this belief by analyses, and 

 " Whereas such practices are detrimental to 

 the best interests of the consumer, the fruit 

 industry and manufacturers of pure fruit 

 beverages; 



"Be it resolved that we respectfully urge
