THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



would like very much to enroll a goodly number of new subscribers for the year 1914. 

 Listen! Besides the 3,000-colony series managed from one office, we will begin with 

 the January number of the REVIEW a series of articles by a beekeeper "grey with 

 experience" that we will call the Farmers' Series ; or, How to Produce Comb Honey 

 with Two Visits a Year. The editor of the REVIEW has looked into this system quite 

 thoroughly, and believes that, with this method that will be described in the RE- 

 VIEW during 1914, the busy man or farmer can harvest much more comb honey 

 per colony, with about a fourth the work that is required with the ordinary system 

 now in vogue. All progressive beekeepers should subscribe for two or three 



good bee journals. We are making a special low price on the REVIEW when club- 

 bed with other bee journals. 



To take advan- 

 tage of this low 

 price ail remit-

THE BEEKEEPERS' REVIEW 



NORTHSTAH, MICHIGAN 



In that province poor varieties are destroy- 

 ed and replaced by better varieties, and al- 

 though much is said against the quality of 

 Uritish Columbia apples, yet the fact re- 

 mains that some of the varieties are almost, 

 if not quite as good, as those produced in ' 

 Ontario. 



"Then, too, the British Columbia fruit 

 grower is becoming very aggressive. The 

 bad season of 1912 has caused him to be- 

 come almost desperate, and this year great 

 efforts were put forth to market their fruit 

 more satisfactorily, and I have good reason 

 to believe that they have succeeded in doing 

 so." 



Canadian Markets* 



Robert Tbonpfon, St. Catbiriaei 



During the past year many of the fruit 

 growers have asked the question : If we 

 continue to increase our planting as rapidly 

 as we have during the last few years, will 

 we be able to find markets for the fruit 

 grown ? I wish to answer this question 

 very emphatically, and say. Yes, if we use 

 comrnon sense and business methods in the 

 distribution. There are consumers enough 

 in Canada to use all the tender fruits that 

 can be grown from Toronto around the 

 head of the lake and to the Niagara River 

 if all the suitable soil were planted. This 

 statement may seem pretty strong, but I 

 wish to state that it is based on years of 

 study given to the distribution of our fruit 

 as the president of one of the oldest, larg- 

 est and most successful of our cooperative 

 fruit growers' associations. If the fruit 

 can be placed before the consumer in good 

 shape and at reasonable prices there is hard- 

 ly any limit to what may be consumed. 



First: Our own Ontario market can be 

 doubled, trebled, yes and quadrupled, if 

 we go after it. There is hardly a town buV 

 what will take at least five tons — ^twice or 

 three times each week, if arrangements 

 could be made to get the fruit dealers to 

 ifet in their supply by freight — the fruit can 

 be landed in perfect condition at less than 

 half the cost by express, and no pilfered or 

 broken baskets. If we continue to depend 

 on the express companies to furnish trans- 

 portation for us, so long will we have com- 

 plaints, dissatisfaction and poor distribu- 

 tion. During the past season several of 

 the smaller towns have been supplied as I 

 suggest, and in every case with satisfaction 

 to every one, and the quantity consumed 

 was a surprise to the grower. 



Second : The lower provinces also furnish 

 .1 ver\' large opening that has never been 

 worked to amy great extent. 



Third : The western provinces present an 

 enticing field to the grower. We read a 

 good deal about Ontario fruit not holding 

 its own and that western fruit is gradually 

 crowding out the Ontario growers, which if 

 half were true, would mean ruin to otu in- 

 dustry iti Ontario. Unfortunately a lot of 

 writers and others come back from visits 

 to the west and hasten to present to the 

 public here the tales they have listened to 

 told by certain wholesale jobbers who are 

 doinir their best to get control of the fruit 

 trade of the west, and then rob the public 

 >'orse than ever, or to the complaints of 

 some few who expect to purchase ^ruit as 

 cheaply as in Ontario, or to those who 

 have purchased some of the poor fruit that 

 is sometimes sent out from here, or who 

 have received shipments from Ontario not 

 properly packed or loaded, and that has ar- 

 ■-ived in poor condition.
