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.

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 Hazelton,
