Criticizes Farmer

A commission broker writes to
the editor from Prince Rupert to
the Herald that he cannot get the
farmers along the Skeena river
to do business, nor even to reply
to a letter. He has, by consider-
able expense, daveloped a mar-
ket for Skeena river turnips, but
now he wants twenty tons more
and cannot get them. The only
inference is that the farmers are
sold out, but read what hesays—
‘T have been trying to do busi-
ness with the farmers along the
Skeena this winter and fall, but
honestly it is impossible to get
any satisfaction out of them. I
have written several this month
re supplying me with turnips and
have reveived one reply. When
a farmer comes to Rupert he has
nearly always got a chip on his
shoulder and thinks everyone is
trving to cheat him, and com-
plains that he cannot market his
produce. Ido not wonder that
he hag difficulty to dispose of his

stuff when I consider the treat- |

ment I have received from them.
They not only do not answer let-
ters, but will often ship goods in
and say nothing about having
shipped, and when they get their
returns think thev are robbed.
Some put their produce in any
old sack and knot the top instead
of sewing it. The market wants
the gonds, but the goods must be
shipped and sacked according to
instructions.’’

After Milk Market

May all success attended the
efforts of the farmers of the in-
terior to secure a permanent and
steady market for their milk, be
itamilk reeeiving depot at Ru-
pert or a local creamery. At the
present time shipping milk to the
coast seems to be favored, The
asking of the government to take
hold of the enterprise and puta
man in charge who understands
the business, shows considerable
wisdom. Producing milk is one
business while transportation and
|; marketing is quite another busi-
ness. Both need special training
and it is seldom that a producer
is a good salesman, any more
than can a manufacturer put his
own goods on the market. That
Prince Rupert can consume all
the milk the interior can produce
is sure. The whole question is
one of trrnsportation and market-
ing. Thegovernment should be
able to solve that successfully,

The old gag from Ottawa is on
‘the front page of the daily press
again—''We will reduce the civil
service.’ The Ottawa Rovern-
ment forgot its economy promise

and i is facing a big deficit. °

. | Poses,

The Greater Need .

The recently-organized . Com-

.{munity League has as one of its

objects, we understand, to secure
a hall for social and other -pur-
We would suggest that
the League get behind the school
trustees and others in their ef-
forts to secure a new and larger
school whieh is so badly needed.
When the new: school has been
provided the building now used
as a schoo! would be available as
a coummunity hall, It is plenty
larze and would answer for some
years. It is also the only build-
ing in town that would not cost
more for repairs than to build
new, It would, in fact, require
no repairing. The new school is
by far the greatest need.
