British Columbia 



At a conference held in January the fruit 

 growers of British Columbia and the United 

 Farmers of Alberta considered a proposi- 

 tion to patronize one another and to handle 

 each other's products. The British Col- 

 umbia fruit growers were represented by 

 W. S. Foggo, of Vernon, and Mr. Abriel 

 of Nakusp, and the Alberta farmers by 

 President Tregillus and Secretary Wood- 

 bridge, of the United Farmers of Alberta, 

 and E. J. Fream, vice-president of the 

 growers' association. 



It was proposed that the Fruit Growers' 

 Association of British Columbia and the 

 Farmers' Association of Alberta should co- 

 operate in marketing produce, and when 

 the Alberta farmer wanted fruit he should 

 purchase it from the British Columbia 

 growers, and when the fruit growers wanted 

 hay or grain they should secure it from the 

 .Alberta farmer. 



Mr. J. E. .A^rmstrong, M.P. for East 

 Laimbton, purposjes obtiaini-ng leg^ation 

 making it a criminal offence for employees 

 of express companies to damagfe fruit by 

 rough handling. Mr. Armstrong also pro- 

 poses to amend the Fruit Marks' Act so as 

 to make fruit inspectors cargo inspectors 

 also at shipping points.
