Fruit Growing
and Canning a
Great Industry

‘During the past few years the
busineas of canning and evapor-
ating fruits has made great strides
in Canada. We have ‘not yet
reached the point arrived at in
California where 80 per cent of
the fruit output, apart from cit-
rus fruits, is canned or. preserved,
but we have brought the business

so far to the front that it has be-|'

come an industry of great im-
portance, As C. §. MeGillivray,

chief canning inspector of the|

Dominion department of agricul-

ture, says, that Canadian can-

ners have packed sufficient high-
grade fruits to demonstrate that
the highest quality can be. packed
in this. country—if, he pointedly

adds, the canner ear get they":

right kind of raw material. There
is the point. The canner can
help the fruit grower to a large
and profitable market, but, in
order that he may do so, he must
be provided, not with culls or
fruit of inferior quality, but with
the best that can be grown.

JE. frait growing is to be a

- son duri g which the product of

the. trees,” “and bushes - can. be
marketed | dna fresh State, itis
at times impracticable to dispose |
remuneratively of the entire crop.
Thus the canner provides a relief
service for the grower and a
wholesome food all the year
round for the consumer. ' In-
volyed in this matter is not alone
the preservation of the domestic
market, but also the question of
developing an export trade. This
is possible only by furnishing
standardized products from the
highest grades of fruit,

Getting Ready for Spring
George Minchin, of Kleanza
Creek placers, arrived in town

from Terrace and will be shortly #

joined by Joe Marchildon, to
commence work on their ground
on Cassiar Bar, where they are
putting on water to sluice this
summer. The results are looked
forward to with great interest,
owing to it being the first gravel
of the upper benches to be tested,
Should this show pay, it will be
sure to ereate a wide spread in-
terest in the benches that are
terraced one above the other,
and which heretofore have never
been prospected. Owing to the
gource of this gold coming from

Heavy Shipment
of Cedar Poles
Along Skeena

_ The cedar pole business is go-
‘ing. along _Steadily, all: ‘through

“the lower Skeena and
fram: along the first few miles of
the Bulkley‘river. The prospects
are very bright for. a. continuous
demand for. poles and the + men.
in the wodds are. not. laying’: off
on account of weather conditions.
In fact the spring and early sum-
mer are even better for the busi-
ness than the winter. There has
been a shortage of flat cars re-
cently due to the railway using
sO many themselyes to move ties,
Aa soon as the ties are distribut-
ed the number of flats available
for poles will be greatly inereased
and the shipments consequently
more numerous. This week three
more cars were loaded at New
