Nova Scotia 



Nova Scotia apples have ju.st comment 

 ed to reach London. Messrs. Nothard & 

 Lowe's state that an unusual proportion 

 of the shipments consist of number thrf 

 fruit, and whereas the quality of the Bit-: 

 heims and the small quantity of numb, 

 one Gravensteins which have come ' 

 hand is quite good, the condition of tl 

 number three Gravensteins is distinctl 

 bad. Several barrels opened contained 

 lot of apples suflfering from black spot. 



Present quotations for apples of almo-: 

 all kinds are high, and Messrs. Nothard 

 Lowe and other firms consider that gor 

 quality sound Canadian fruit is likely 

 continue to command high prices durii 

 the coming season, although English ami 

 other apples have derived considerable 

 benefit from the unusually fine weathi 

 which has prevailed for the past f' 

 weeks and the crop has consequently con 

 out a little better than was expected. 



The great fruit counties of Hants, Kin 

 and Annapolis, Nova Scotia, held their .1 

 nual exhibition on October 7-9, at the tov. ,, 

 of Windsor. The exhibition was an un- 

 qualified success. The display of fruit and 

 vegetables was remarkable, not only for the 

 choice quality of the exhibits but also for 

 the number of entries. 



Nova Scotia growers by organizing have 

 secured a rate cm aples from Nova Scotia 

 to Winnipeg, which is on6 cent per barrel 

 lower than on apples shipped from Ontario 

 to Winnipeg. 



British Columbia 



An agitation is being conducted in many 

 quarters to procure a reduction in the rates 

 of the Dominion Express Company for car- 

 rying fruit. The fruit industry of the pro- 

 vince is largely dependent upon the ser- 

 vice given by the company. 



In an open letter which was published re- 

 cently, Mr. S. J. Fee, Manager of the Ver- 

 .non Fruit Company, asserts that the peach 

 industry of the province might be saved and 

 the company increase its dividends were 

 it to give a better service. Mr. Fee points 

 out that it takes several days to pick, pack 

 and assemble a carload of peaches ; that 

 peaches must be assembled with other fruits 

 to make a "mixed car," and that when load- 

 ed it must pass through the hands of a 

 broker, a wholesaler and a retailer, whose 

 charges must be paid. The balance, if 

 any is left, is all the producer realizes. He 

 claims that the amount received by the 

 grower is so small peach growing in Brit- 

 ish Columbia is proving unprofitable. 



The freight rate on car loads is practi- 

 cally twenty cents a crate with an additional 

 ten cents local freight from distribution 

 points to smaller towns. Mr. Fee advo- 

 cates the making by the Dominion Express 

 Co. of a flat rate on peaches of thirty cents^ 

 a crate to all points in Alberta, which would 

 be equal to the present freight rate, and 

 save much of the handling by middlemen. 

 Similar reductions are advocated for ber- 

 ries, cherries, apricots and plums. 



At a banquet recently held in Okanagan, 

 Hon. Price Ellison stated that what the 

 fruit growers require more than anything 

 else is a better system of marketing. A 

 comparison of the prices received by the 

 grower and those paid on the Vancouver 

 market, shows that there is mtich room for 

 improvement. The opportunities confront- 

 ing the British Columbia fruit grower may 

 be understood when it is considered that 

 15 car loads of American fruit went into 

 Vancouver in one day. Demand still ex- 

 ceeds supplies.
