Facing. 
The faced or shown surface gives by law a false representation of 
the contents of the package, if more than fifteen per cent of such fruit is 
substantially smaller in size than, or inferior in grade to, or different in 
variety from, the faced or shown surface of such package. 
Importing Fruit. 
In regard to fruit imported into Canada, “The Governor in Council 
by regulation may prescribe the kinds of imported fruit, the package contain- 
ing which must be branded or marked; prescribe the brands or marks to be 
used thereon; prescribe the manner and places in and at which such fruit 
is to be inspected and such packages branded or marked.” 
In order that the above regulations shall be complied with, Inspectors 
are employed who inspect the fruit at the packing houses, and on the 
markets, and at the chief shipping points, and at other places. It is the 
Inspector’s duty to mark any package containing fruit “Falsely Marked,” 
or “Falsely Packed”' if it does not comply with the regulations. There are 
also fines for improper packing and marking. 
Government Aid to Fruit Growers. 
Colleges: — There are four Agricultural Colleges at which a four years 
course in Agriculture is given and from which or through the universities 
with which they are affiliated, the graduates receive the degree of Bachelor

Agricultural College, Guelph, Ont. ; the Macdonald College, Que. ; the Trappist 
College, La Trappe, Que.; and the Manitoba Agricultural College, Winni- 
peg, Man. At these colleges the students receive a special course in 
horticulture. There is also the maritime Agricultural College, Truro, N. S., 
at which the students are given a two years’ course in agriculture and 
horticulture, and an Agricultural School at Ste. Anne de la Pocatiere, Que. 
In connection with the Agricultural Colleges short courses in horticulture 
lasting from one to two weeks are given. These colleges are supported 
mainly by the provincial governments and by private gifts, but the Federal 
Government also gives some assistance. 
Experimental Farms: — There are sixteen Experimental Farms or Stations 
in Canada supported by the Federal Government, of which the Central 
Farm is at Ottawa, Ont. The appropriation for the maintenance of these 
and for new farms is this year $810,000, exclusive of the salaries of permanent
