and left the society very much embarrassed. 

 It is hoped that the efforts this time will be 

 crowned with success. 



Probably the higliest prices ever paid for 

 California cherries were realized in Philadelphia, 

 April 22, at a local commission merchant's es- 

 tablishment, where a box of fruit was sold at 

 auction for $2,440, the funds to be devoted in 

 aid of the earthquake sutTer'crs in California. 

 Each cherry was offered for sale singly, the first 

 one selling for $105, and the others for amoimts 

 ranging from $100 down to 50 cts. 



The revised copy of the report of the recent 

 Dominion fruit conference recently held in Ot- 

 tawa, is in the hands of the printer and will 

 soon be ready for distribution. Copies may be 

 had by writing to the Fruit Division, Dept. of 

 Agri , Ottawa. 



Mr. A. McMeans, of Brantford, vice-pres. of 

 the Ont. Veg. Growers' Assn., assisted by some 

 of the members of Parliament from the leading 

 vegetable growing sections, had an interview 

 with the Minister of Customs last month, regard- 

 ing having an appraiser appointed to appraise 

 the value of vegetables shipped to Canada from 

 the U.S. Vegetables are often imported at 

 ridiculously low valuations, and it is felt some- 

 thing should be done to protect Canadian vege- 

 table growers. The interview lasted over an hour, 

 and while Uttle hope was held out that such an 

 official would be appointed, it was intimated that 

 it is the Government's intention to have a speci- 

 fic tariff in the near future which will be even 

 inore satisfactory to the growers. 



Two more fruit dealers have been prosecuted 

 recently under the Fruit Marks Act. They are 

 Geo. Vipond, a Montreal merchant, who was 

 convicted of violating Section VI, and was fined 

 25 cts. a package for all incorrectly stamped 

 and G. A. AUseybrook, of Burford, Ont., who was 

 convicted April 14 for fraudulent packing, and 

 was assessed $1 per bbl.
