ber, and December, and in that market has 

 already proved the excellence olf the Cana- 

 dian product; and whereas there is an open- 

 ing for apples in our coast markets in April, 

 May, and June, which Australia could sup- 

 ply: Be it therefore Kesolved, That, While 

 recognizing the good work done in the past 

 towards the end in view, the Dominion Gov- 

 ernment be respectfully urged to continue tc 

 use every endeavor to brin« albout an ar- 

 nanigement which will give our apples and 

 pears free entry to the Australian market 

 and to offer reciprocal terms. Should Au.s- 

 tralia desire it, there would be no objection 

 to their restricting the free entry to their 

 country of our product to their off-season 

 as mentioned, we protecting ourselves in 

 the same way. And that there may be no 

 check in the harmonious working of any 

 arrangeiment to be made, care be taken that 

 no regulation or law be passed dealing with 

 size or shape of package that might later 

 interfere with titie full benefits of such ar- 

 rangement.

 recommends the general endorsation of

 Women on Board of Horticulture. 

 Whereas it has been brought to the no- 

 tice of this annual meeting of British 

 Columlbia Fruitigrowers' Association that 

 women are eligihle to serve on the Board 

 oif Horticulture; and whereas, up to the 

 present time, no woman has ever been ap- 

 pointed to fill any vacancy on that Board: 

 Be it therefore Resolved, That the Minister 

 of Agriculture be requested to give due 

 consideration to the claims of such wo- 

 men as are competent to fill the position 

 when making future appointments to fill 

 vacancies occurring on tlhe Board of Horti- 

 culture. 



In view of the present condition of the 

 fruit indus'try in British Columibia, the 

 question of reductions in freight rates to 

 north-west and Coast points have hecome 

 of urgent importance, and that accordingly 

 this Association shall make every effort to 

 oibtain substantial reductions in existing 

 rates ea^t and west, and favorable rates via 

 the new Kettle Valley route to the coast. 

 Reduction in Freight Rates. 

 Resolved, That freight rates from British 

 Columbia to the Prairie Provinces, as com- 

 pared with those from the eastern to the 

 western Provinces, appear unduly heavy, 

 and we recommend the attention of the 

 Transportation Committee of the Briti.<3h 

 Columlbia Fruit-growers' Association to this 

 matter tor their earnest consideration. 

 Express Minimum. 

 Resolved, That we endeavor to have the 

 minimum, weight of car shipments by ex- 

 press lowered from 20,000 libs, to 15,000 Vb., 

 and that the Transportation Comimittee en 

 deavor to get a lower minimum from the
