p. E. ANGLE - Superintendent 



As our Gravenstein average is affected 

 very much by our operaticms in the Can- 

 adian West, I will deal with the western 

 business next. Owing- to the panic to which 

 I have already referred, the western busi- 

 ness was very difficult to handle. With the 

 nearby Ontario g-rowers ready to accept any 

 price for their fruit with British Columbia - 

 flooding the west with their crop all on 

 consignment it was a fairly tough pro- 

 position for any representative to sell 

 Gravensteins at any price. 



Mr. Morse succeeded, however, in the 

 face of such a state of affairs in selling 29 

 cars at from $1.90 to $2.00 for No. I's 

 aind No. 2's. 



After he had secured that business he 

 met other competition much harder to 

 overcome, namely, the competition from his 

 own province. The unorganized growers 

 selling their Gravensteins to speculators at 

 $1.00 to $1.25 enabled those gentlemen to 

 quote Gravensteins on the western market 

 at $1.35 to $1.40 per barrel. 



A bad feature of this competition was 

 that our competitors were quoting coopera- 

 tive pack. The .speculators found that 

 buyers -uere demanding cooperative pack, 

 and that little attention was paid to their 

 quotations, even if lower tham ours. They 

 therefore organized cooperative companies 

 of their own so that they could use apples 

 thus obtained to undersell the organized 

 farmers and thus ruin your markets. 



I consider the action of the speculators in 

 thus organizing cooperative companies the 

 finest compliment that could be paid to our 

 organization and a standing testimony to 

 the success of our movement. Thus the 

 farmers' own organization endeavoring to 

 obtain for the Annapolis Valley a fair re- 

 turn for its crop was balked in that en- 

 deavor by the action of those who will not 

 cooperate. It is safe to state that but for 

 that senseles.s competition double the 

 quantity of Gravensteins would have been 

 placed on the western market and the
