SMITHERS Ba! ¥,

The interview published last
week in these columns with T. H.
Bain, Dominion fruit and vege-
table inspeetor, should be very
encouraging to all settlers in the

Skeena River valley. Of all the
government men who have been |
in this country in the past ten or
more years, Mr, Bain is probably
the most efficient. He knows his
business very thoroughly and he
makes a very thorough examina-
tion of everything connected with
agriculture and horticulture. His
first look at this part of the coun-
try impressed him and he immedi

ately inquired why there was not
more settlement. His investiga-
tions proved to him that the gov-
ernments, land setHement board
and immigration departments had
overlooked the best bet in ‘the
north. He examined the govern-
the soil
and the vegetation, as well as the
growing crops and the various
wild and cultivated fruits. His
conclusion was that, with one or
two exceptions, there was nothing
in the southern part of the prov-

ince that could compare with the
New Hazelton and Skeena River
distriet for mixed farming,. gar-
dening, fruits; ete. While every-
one has known for years that
small fruits were a huge success,

he went further and stated that

apples, cherries and plums could|-

the north,
that sufficient be produced to
make a shipment and that it be
quality stuff, and packed accord-
ing tu the requirements of the
acts governing the various lines
of produce.

One of the chief drawbacks in

the north has been that there has
never been sufficient production,
To know what the market wants
is the first necessity and the next
is to produce it. The land is here,
the climate is the best in the
world, transportation could not
be better.

thousands of dollars are sent out

should be produced right at home.

When one’ considers what has

been done in the south by the
governments towards aiding the]
farmer, one must realize that
there is no limit to what can be
done in the: north in ‘the ‘same

way. Carloads of the most per-
ishable fruits are shipped from
Victoria to Winnipeg and landed
there in perfect condition.
