Columbia will have such an important effect as 

 this on the acceptability of B.C. apples on the 

 British market. The news of the decision was 

 received with much enthusiasm by the fruit 

 trade, who will be, correspondingly, disappointed 

 to learn that it has been found impossible to 

 pass the necessary legislation to legalize the new 

 grades before the comin,< season. 



"British Columbia apples in the p^i^ have 

 been under a steady handicap as compared with 

 their American competitors. While the grade 

 names Fancy aiid Choice have been constantly 

 suggestive of excellence and quality, No. 2 and 

 No. 3 have just as constantly suggested identity 

 with the inferior barrel grades. Boxes and barrels 

 are essentially different products with different 

 grade requirements corresponding to different 

 demand conditions on the market. This is par- 

 ticularly evident as regards size. Small-sized 

 apples could not be sold at high prices as packed 

 in barrels. Small-sized boxed apples are regularly 

 so sold. The market does not prefer small .sizes 

 as such, but the consumer cannot afford to pay 

 the price required for apples for large sizes in 

 boxes, and is therefore willing to forego large 

 size, itself desirable, if he gets quality in its stead 

 at a lower price per unit. He can afford to pay, 

 and does pay a premium for large sizes in barrels. 

 Size is, therefore, quite properly a main dis- 

 tinguishing factor between barrel No. I and No. 

 2, while it has no logical place as marking the 

 distinction between No. 1 and No. 2 boxes, and 

 will not be given prominence in distinguishing 

 the new grades ISxtra Fancy and Fancy. 



"The unanimous view of the British fruit 

 trade is that the change of grades and grade 

 nomenclature will very greatly strengthen 

 British Columbia's position on the British 

 market." 



Apple Color Requirements 



A CIRCULAR letter has been sent to apple- 

 growing points in Canada showing the 

 U.S. color requirements for extra fancy, 

 fancy and C grade apples. It also shows the 

 O.U G. color requirements for numbers 1, 2 and 

 3, and suggestions from eastern points as to 

 color for the new grades they would recommend. 

 We consider that any color requirement that 

 Canada might adopt that fell short of the Wash- 

 ington color requirements would make a change 

 in grade names abortive. We have a standard 

 pack and package in line with our competitors 

 and any slackness in enforcing a color require- 

 ment of our competition will place us at a great 

 disadvantage at the selling end. Of course the 

 difficulty is in trying to set a federal standard. 

 This is not attempted in the U.S. Color and 

 grade are state regulations not federal. We 

 doubt if a federal requirement for color of apples 

 can be made satisfactory in Canada. Anything 

 short of the Washington color requirements will 

 not be of any value to B.C. apple growers in the 

 world markets. — -B.C. Markets Bulletin(Calgary)
