Items of Interest 



A deputation from the British Columbia 

 Fruit Growers' Association, consisting' of 

 President Aifur and Secretary Winslow. 

 waited on the Dominion Govennment re- 

 cently and asked that he Canadian duty on 

 apples be raised from thirteen to twent\- 

 five cents, the same rate as applied by th( 

 L'lnited States. They pointed out that th' 

 western states are flooding- the British 

 Columbia markets, and asked that it be 

 made compulsory to label fruit. 



A rulingr issued by the Railway Com- 

 mission on March seventh ordered the rail- 

 ways to re-establish the arrang-ement for- 

 merly in effect, whereby apples were car- 

 ried to concentration points for storage, 

 inspyection. or completion into carloads ami 

 reshipment, at a reduction of one-third 

 from the local tariff rates to these concen- 

 tration points. 



At a meeting held recently in Toronto of 

 the creditoirs of the National Land Fruit 

 and Packing Company, which went into 

 liquidation last December, it was decided to 

 make an effort to continue in operation. 

 The company has a-n authorized capitaliza- 

 tion of $1,215,000.00, and a paid up capital 

 of about $300,000.00. There are about 900 

 shareholders all told. 



The liabilities outside of shareholder? 

 amount to about $140,000.00, with only 

 small assets. The company has options om 

 a large number of orchards and it is hoped 

 that if these can be worked this year it 

 may yet be possible to continue the com- 

 pany in operation.
