On January 16th a meeting was held in 

 Berwick, attended by a director from each 

 fruit company, to decide whether or not to 

 put in a cold storage plant. It was con- 

 cluded th.-it the Central Office of the United 

 Fruit Companies, Limited, should go ahead 

 with a trial plant. As yet the location is 

 not decided, but it will probably be near 

 to a source of natural ice, supplying about 

 seven hundred tons which would be re- 

 quired to run this proposed Cooper-Madi- 

 son system size of cold storage plant. It 

 is estimated that the cost will be less than 

 fifteen cents a barrel, and that this will l)c 

 the beginning of a series of cold storage 

 plants through the Valley. Another fruit 

 company has been organized at Hortonville, 

 and a warehouse is to be built there. 



At the request of the United Fruit Com- 

 panies a subsidy of five thousand dollars 

 was granted by the Government for a 

 steamship service to run from .Annapolis, 

 N'ova Scotia, to ports in England. 



Yarmouth, to the west of us, closed its 

 first annual seed fair on February 8th. In 

 addition to growing wheat, oats, peas, 

 buckwheat, beans, beets, and potatoes, the 

 Federal authorities are offering bonuses for 

 raising cabbage and turnip seed in com- 

 mercial quantities. 



In addition to the seed fair, a short course 

 in agriculture, with a staff of instructors 

 from the .Agricultural College, Truro, has 

 also been held in Yarmouth. The attend- 

 ,ince began with 122, and 50 more applica- 

 tions were received. .Another short course 

 of this description will be held in Bridge- 

 water. 



The winter has gradually been growing 

 more severe. On February 12th the ther- 

 mometer dropped to twenty-two degrees be- 

 low zero in Berwick, where it was said to 

 have been the coldest day within the last 

 thirty years. 



As another good step in cooperation, our 

 local paper, the Register, is devoting a 

 large space each week to the doings of the 

 United Fruit Companies, which is now 

 their official organ.
