MISCELLANEOUS 



lumber, three times the grain rate, and four 

 times that of poles, yet these commodities 

 have the privilege referred to, and the Com- 

 mission refused our applic.ation because 

 the transit practice, says Commissioner 

 McLean, is a privilege, not a right, amd M 

 the Uoard is without power to direct that " 

 this privilege be given by the railways. 



The sending of a caretaker in charge of 

 long-haul refrigerator shipments would in , 

 the judgment of a great many shippers aid 

 both railroads and shippers, but it is a 

 privilege over which the Commission has 

 no jurisdictiom. Shippers from the Mari- 

 time Provinces can send a man free in 

 charge of one or more cars, and he will be 

 returned for one cent a mile. I am not 

 aware that British Columbia has any such 

 privilege, and Ontario certainly has not, 

 except from the he^d of the lakes, but Can- 

 adian competitors from Oregon, Washing- 

 ton, Or Idaho, shipping over the Oregon- 

 Washington i-(ailroad and Navigation Co., 

 Camas Prairie Railroad, Southern Pacific 

 and Yakima Valley Tramsportation Co., in- 

 to Canadian markets, have the accommoda- 

 tion of a man carried free both ways, which 

 assures the placing of their product on the 

 market in a well cared for condition, and 

 it is well to note that these States are grow- 

 ing competitors. They marketed in 191.3 

 3,958 carloads of fruit in 243 .\merican 

 cities, 33 Canadian cities, and sixteen 

 European cities. Within these States it is 

 estimated that over 500,000 acres have been 

 planted to apple trees and 75,000 acres to 

 other varieties of fruit, while only 10 per 

 cent, of this came into bearing in 1912 

 aind 1913.

Put in as Big a Garden 



as you Possibly can 



this Spring 



— but be sure you put it in RIGHT ! Thorough 

 tilling and plenty of fertilizer are both important, 

 but not more so than the choice of seeds. "Like 

 produces like", and you cannot expect fine crops 

 from inferior seeds. 



Ew^ing's Reliable Seeds 



are grown from selected plants of the very best 

 strains. They are clean, vigorous, sure to grow — 

 and for over Forty Years have been producing 

 the finest gardens in Canada. 



Your first step will be a wise one if you choose 

 Ewing's Seeds. Get them from your dealer, 

 or if he hasn't them order from us direct.
