A. G. HULL & SON, St. Catharines, Ont. 



done along those linos by the Americans, 

 who had been buying- their experience for 

 years and paying- dearly for it. Their or- 

 ganization had broken down last year, but 

 they wore at work already on i>erfecting 

 it ; and British Columbia must lose no time 

 in putting machinery im motion to procure 

 equally efficient organization against the 

 time when the Americans would have per- 

 fected theirs. The enormous output he 

 had already referred to as coming would 

 make it all the more mecessary. 



Storage and cold storage were things 

 they must have as soon as possible, and 

 he believed the same plant could be used 

 for pre-cooling peaches and prunes in 

 their season. In fact, he hoped that with 

 the proper plant it might even be possible 

 to obtain advances on fruit in cold stor- 

 age as the wheat grower did on his grain 

 in the elevators. He considered more at- 

 tention should be paid to marketing each 

 fruit at its due season and educating the 

 consumer as to when to ask for it ; also to 

 the varieties they planted. The day of 

 twenty-six varieties to one carload was 

 over. But now that twenty-three i>er cent, 

 of the Okana^an orchards were planted in 

 Jonathans, there would be all the greater 

 need o^f careful and scientific methods of 

 marketing and distribution. 



HARKETINO PROBLEUB 



Mr. E. H. Shepard .Editor of "Better 

 Fruit," published in Oregon, spoke on 

 ."The Marketing Problems of the North- 

 western States." He laid stress on the 

 utilizatio.n of the by-products of the or- 

 chard by means of canneries, evaporators, 

 and vinegar factories, but he warned those 

 present that to start any of these industries 

 it was necessary to obtain the help of the 

 most experienced men in the world both 

 to handle and manufacture and market 

 the produce. 



Questioned as to the possibility of eli- 

 minating the jobber, he considered this 

 would never be possible, but with regard 

 to excessive profits made by retailers he 

 advocated educating the public by a cam. 

 paign through the press, and quoted sev- 

 eral instances where public opinion, once 

 raised, had speedily settled such questions 

 in its own favor. Too many profits were 

 made on many articles of produce before 

 they reached the consumer. Cooperation 

 first otf local units and then of the whole 

 province, must be the aim, but whether the 

 time was ripe for a central organization 

 and distributing centre in British Colum- 

 bia he was not prepared to say. Strict 

 legal contracts between individuals and 

 each local organization were absolutely 

 necessary. 



RESOLX7TIONS ADOPTED 



.-^mong the resolutions adopted were the 

 following- : 



"Be it resolved that this board urge the 

 Dominion Government to enact such legis- 

 lation as will exclude deciduous fruit, such 

 as apples, pears, crab apples, quinces, 

 peaches, apricots and plums, from being 

 imported into this province from countries, 

 states and provinces known to be infected 

 with injurious insect pests and diseases not 

 widely prevalent or distributed within or 

 throughout the province of British Col- 

 umbia."
