Mr. Forsyth Smith, Markets Commission- 

 er, described his efforts during the year to 

 stimulate trade with the prairie provinces 

 aid Eastern Canada. He pointed out the 

 different requirements of eastern markets, 

 esp.ecially those of Toro.nto and Montreal. 

 Trade in apricots and cherries was some- 

 what confused last year, and more adver- 

 tising was recommended. In order to ob- 

 tain publicity for British Columbia fruit he 

 advocated the appointment of salesmen who 

 would carry samples of the various fruits, 

 and give lectures wherever they went. 



.4in address was given by R, Robertson, 

 manager of the Okanagan United Growers, 

 on the subject "Cooperation in the Okana- 

 tran." Mr. Robertson advocated the mak- 

 ing of efforts towards the amalgamation of 

 shipping imterests. 



RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED 



The following resolutions were adopted : 



1. "That the full pint hallock and crate 

 be adopted as a legal and a standard pack- 

 an-e for berries, thus eciualizing competition 

 with imported fi-uits, particularly berries. 



2. "That the dominion governmemt be re- 

 auested to enact legislation compelling 

 dealers receivipBf fruit on consignment to 

 make returns to the shippers, showing com-

 sold, the buyer's address and the price re- 

 ceived therefor and that returns be made at 

 least once a week."
