Cedarvale, says that along the
Skeena river he. can grow 100
crates of first class strawberries
per acre, besides the jam berries

and careless grading is the great-
est handicap, not the lack of a
market. There is a good local
market for all the fruit: that is
how grown and properly graded
and packed. Any grower, he
says, who paeks light and is not
particular with his grading, is
fooling himself.
