sociation, all of whom arc cxpt-rts in thci; 

 several fields of effort for better bousinK 

 and living conditions. 



Kvcry session of the association brought 

 iinto strong evidence the urgent need for 

 the united and persistent effort of such or- 

 ganizations as this one in order to direct 

 aright the daily increasing consciousness, 

 which the public is gradually acquiring, 

 with respect to the terrible folly of allowing 

 any town or village, however small, to de- 

 velop in a haphazard fashion. The conven- 

 tian, in addition to focussing attention on 

 the needs of the growing towns and cities, 

 was fortunately additionally valuable in call- 

 ing attention to the proper development of 

 the natural park, the playground for city 

 children, and national highways, besides 

 other related subjects. 



Those who were present appreciated the 

 value of the work of the association, as well 

 as of those which are related with it by 

 similar aims, and which were duly represent- 

 ed by accredited delegates, such, for in- 

 stance, as the Ontario Horticultural Asso- 

 ciation, which was most efficiently repre- 

 sented by Mr. J. Lockie Wilson of Toronto, 

 and the Rev. A. H. Scott, Perth, Ont. 



Other Canadian delegates were Mr. W. B. 

 Burgoyne, St. Catharines, Ont. ; Mr. J. B'. 

 Harkin, Ottawa, Ont. ; Mr. F. E. Buck, 

 Ottawa, Ont. The association elected Mr. 

 J. Lockie Wilson as one of its vice-presi- 

 dents, and Rev. A. H. Scott as a member 

 of the executive board for 1915. The secre- 

 tarv is Mr. J. B. Watrous of Washington, 

 D.C. 



Enterprise Rewarded 



Sir George E. Foster, writing in the 

 Weekly Report issued by the Department of 

 Trade and Commerce, quotes the progres- 

 sive policy of Organized Fruit Growers of 

 the Annapolis Valley as an example of what 

 can be done by Canadians in foreign mar- 

 kets when sufficient enterprise is shown. 



Sir George E. Foster writes as follows : 



As an instance of what can be done by 

 direct representation the Department has 

 received news from Buenos Aires of a suc- 

 cessful trip made by Mr. Foster M. Chute, 

 a representative of the United Fruit Com- 

 panies of Nova Scotia, Limited. 



Last year the United Fruit Company made 

 a trial shipment to Buenos .Aires with sat- 

 isfactory results. This season Mr. Chute 

 by his personal visit has bean enabled to 

 open up business relations with the prin- 

 cipal cities of South America for Nova 

 Scotia apples. He has done exceedingly well 

 and has made connections which will be 

 of lasting benefit to the apple trade of Nova 

 Scotia. A shipment of 10,056 boxes, 65 half 

 barrels and 4,683 barrels has been placed 

 at remunerative figures. 



This is published as a hint of the possi- 

 bilities of the South .American market, and 

 secondly as to the advisability of direct re- 

 presentation. Good stock, well assorted, 

 well packed and preserved, commands good 

 prices in South America for those who are 

 enterprising enough to go after it.
