August 17.���������Produce dealers say trade has been good during the week. A number of- mixed cars have arrived from the Okanagan Valley and Koremeos districts. Apples: Prices are firm on ��������� No. 1 grades while "no grade" stuff is also holding strong, considering, the class of stock sent in. California Gravensteins will not meet with the same demand this year as formerly as they are in competition with the same variety from B. C. and Washington, which can be sold for $1 per box less. Crab apples as usual are slow. Plums: Pair quantities of B. C. plums are coming forward. One straight car of Peach Plums from the Okanagan Valley arrived in only fair condition, the trouble being "Plum Rot". This is something unusual for the Okanagan. Lower Mainland plums are now on the market bat tho movement as yet for canning stock is'somewhat slow. reaches: Few Triumphs from tho Okanagan Valley have arrived and it is expected that the real peach season will be on during the next two \ weeks. Blackberries are remaining strong any surplus being taken care of by the canneries. Tomatoes: Field tomatoes are now prominent on the market. Some small shipments came in from the south during the week but these are not in the same class as B. C. and should have been sold for ordinary green stuff. While prices are firm today we can see brewing a fermentation of trade unrest on the part or some which is going to spell'disaster to the tomato market unless some of the up-coutry shippers keep themselves bettor posted on the market prices and conditions here. We cannot see any great advantage in wrapping and packing field tomatoes in four basket crates for this" market. Field tomatoes will be sold as field tomatoes and we believe that the time speiu in wrapping and packing put on cleaning the mud off some of the stock would be much better. Under present conditions nice clean stuff put.up in lug boxes or apple boxes would no doubt meet Willi approval by the trade. Other Vegetables: Cukes are plentiful and very cheap. Field stock is running all the way from 20<J to 75tf a doz., according to "size and quality Beets, carrots and parsnips are in good demand, while, egg plant is moving slowly at 20<? to 22<? per lb. Cabbage is holding strong and the enquiring as to the future potato marekt. From actual existing conditions and reports received from various producing centres in North America we could forecast what the market should be or at least what the conditions would justly warrant. However, this would be useless as the offensive one clay and. the defensive the next day and in our opinion will be just, what some broker, whose bread and butter depends entirely on the tonnage he must .sell, makes it. In some cases where the brokers sell on a brokerage basis per ton it is to their advantage to lower the market and sell "qauntity". The market for early potatoes has been lowered needlessly and, as usual the poducer is made the "goa.t" Items of Interest to Potato Gowers While one broker is busily engaged loading cars for Camp Lewis at a- rouncl $40.00 per ton a second broker quotes $37.00 our information leads us to believe that contractors can pay as high as $50.00 per ton for the next month. Just as long as our formers leave their business in the hands of this class just so long will they enjoy working sixteen hours u day for the benefit of the other fellow. The U. S. crop bureau of crop estimates on August 1st places the pros peetive potato yield of the United States at 391,000,#00 bushels or 52,000,000 bushels less than 1917. The early crop in the Okanagan is well cleaned up. Oregon reports a probable product- j ion of approximately 6G per cent of 1917. Idaho about the same. . Yakima growers are getting from $2.75 to $3.00 per cwt. for early stock. Mr. Tweedlc estimates the B. C. crop at 15,417 acres as against 15,- 264 in 1917.

Dear Sir: On account of beinsr absent when your edition of Aus-ust. Sth arrived, found it impossible to -write my answer to Market Commissioner Grant's,.lcn{rthy tirade in time for this week's publication. 'f T was very nmch surprised to learn that tlie Market Commissioner depended upon the courtesies of Calgary wholesalers -to donate their second hand newspapers to liinV whereof he could clean facts relating- to the largest berry growing- district in B. C. Quite a lot has been published in your paper during the last three or four months relative to your districts needs with regards to transportation, packing, variety, etc./;" and puite a lot .of this information ,mi.~^' have done Mr. Grant a great deal of ing he does not -'know it all." if Mr. Grant is not on your please put his name on, and good, provid- At any rate, mailing list. forward the bill to Barry. (Mr. Grant recently became a paid subscriber.���������Editor) Mr. Grant knows full well who Barry is,- and if little notice may be taken of him wherever lie goes, it is a well known fact that ho can always go back to tho same place again and do business. In his tirade he asks if Barry is a "bona fide fruit grower seeking honestly to advance the idustries of that business." Did he ask that question for any honesty of purpose, after knowing- that it was Barry that called this self-same Grant in the floor of meetings assembled at Pcnticton and . Sum- morland last winter when he went on record contrary to the sentiments ot tho market commissioner when this worthy official advised the growers to put in certain crops, and sell at a figure 100% lowor than Carry was prepared to pay for these commodities. Does Grant forget that he made the remark to a hall filled with growers that crabapples were not worth more than eighty cents per bov when Barry said that one dollar should bo the minimum, and no distinction should be made against Transcendents which usually netted a lower price than Hyslop. Does Grant forgot that he beat Barry "to it." on this count for no other reason than he (Grant' presumably speaking on behalf of a brokerage concern, and the representative of this concern was' at the mcrting. and his opinion coupled with Grant's naturaliy overruled that ot Barry. It Mr. Grant can show th; od as hard or as long in the B. C. Fruit Grower as Barry, step down and olu. By this Mr. Grant to take into account the lemrth of time that he was making pants and coats in Victoria for the Gonion Head fruit growers, but the active length of time that he has been the accredited representative of two or more growers for any stated periods. Now (he cause of the to Vancou- for a two away holi- in town at ;t he has work- interests of the then Barry will I do not mean strife that has existed this season betwen the Market Commissioner and myself is Ihe fact that every week.. Mission and districts Mirrouiidiim would receive a "knock" in the bulletin, and this ������������������knoi-k" was always urule in aross i;r- norance on the part of the "knocker." After the "knock" was published in the Build in. and circulated broadcast over the country it was up lo Barry lo "call the bluff" and it lias been called on every count. This can very well 1)0 verified if Ihe miwUel- iug articles. are compared with the Mark"! Bulletins. Grant would -give a , "knock" one week. Barry would answer the same week. and Grant would crawfish in the next. Mr-ne; .by writing eomo dope to tlie cfrect that Marry agrees with himself.' it is impossible for mo to airfc with the Market Commissioner for various reasons, and one of tho principal reasons is directly in Hue with the statement that be has made, to tho effect that "tho buyers and growers lnerests /ire not identical." This sentence shows the calibre of the man: his narrow vision, his bigoted idea, and selfish motives. It also proves my deductions are correct when 1 have stated that the M. C. is not onto his job. Grant is on the prairie to fulfil one mission and one only, and this mission Is to make the growers and buyers interests identical in every sense of the word. In this mission ho has been a total failure or else he could not have made the above remark. There exists today a too wide chasm between grower .and distributor and there''is not a reason in the world why this chasm should exist, if the right .man was��������� on ihe job as representative of the growers. For the reason that this estrangement exists! it does not follow that the intcress are not identical. They are identical, and right to the last letter. The gwroer depends upon the distributor' to market his crop, and the distributor depends upon the grower to provide the crop to be marketed. This sentence covers the whole transaction so far as grower and distributor are concerned. The above Admiral Sir Roper Keyes, the leader of the British Raids on Zceburgge and Ostend., at the funeral of the heroes who died for tho country. Mrs. Fred Grant and Vivian Grant from Point Grey and Alma' Kidd from South' Vancouver are spending a week with the McMenemy family, i* . ... transaction looks simple in the extreme; but is it? The nigger in the wood pile comes to light in the shape of "Transportation." Transportation is tlie direct cause of the chasm before mentioned, and when this nigger is obliterated (he chasm will be spanned, and all differences that now exist between grower and distributor will bo forever settled. it lias been a hard hard job to get started on tlie transportation problems, and every time something is started for the better, some ignoramus vested with ten cents worth of authority upsets the whole business. In Grant's letter he. says thai "Barry deserves some consideration for cabin*; attention even m his erratic way to Ihis important subject" and refers to Hulk-tin Ko. !S wherein you will see that "Barry" and yoiir M. C. are not far apart on the subject, of need Tor careful handling in transit and more attention to ventilation, etc. Barry called attention to thi:J fact June Kith. 10 IS a I Mission. B.

The Department of Colonization and Development fo the Canadian Pacific Railway anounces that it will award a silver- cup valued at five hundred dollars for the best bushel of hard spring wheat exhibited at the International Soil-Products Exposition at Kansas City, Mo.. October 16- 2tith", 1918. All farmers in Western Canada who have good hard spring wheat should be interested in this announcement and it is hoped that among them will be found the successful competitor, Wheat has become a vital factor in the conduct of the war and the Railway Company hopes in this way io encourage production of the be3t varieties. At the saraet im������ it is hoped this competition will, focus attention upon the immenBe food-producing possibilities of ������������������Western Canada. Canadian farmers have been winners of many competitions of thi international Soil-Product Exposition and'the winning of this cup by one of their number would be an appropriate climax to a series of triumphs. it is expected that boards of trade agricultural societies, farmers' organizations and other public bodies throughout Western Canada will interest themselves in seeing that the very best bushel of wheat.in each of their respective districts is netered in this competition. Individual farmers will also no doubt be eager for the distinction of winning this cup. Particulars as to" the exhibit may be had by adresssing Robert J. C.

Believe us there will be something doing when the next session does meet at least it appears so the way the political events are . shaping. It looks as though next session foretells of an election, the premier is getting so genial. We publish two letters .this week���������one from the market commissioner at Calgary and the other from our old friend Barry. Read, them both the} are interesting. What are the market commissioner's duties? This is something that we would like to get to the bottom of. The people of the province are paying the.price-but nowhere have we seen what the duties really are. It would appear to us that a man is on the wrong track when the statement is* made ''that the buyers and grower's1 interests are not identical''. We presume that the buyer is the distributor or broker in the transaction. ������������������ The .interests of the grower, as we take it is to place as good an article on the Calgary market as possible and get a fair market value for it; the interests of the distributors���������the buyers, is to get that good article���������it can't be too good for him���������and sell it to the consumer. The better the article the greater his commission will be. In the respect of returns- both the buyers and growers interests are identical. ' They are both rewarded by selling good fruit at a fair value. It is the consumer who pays th.e fiddler. But just where in this game docs the M.

Calgary Market MARKET LETTER (Plunl Cajgary, Anj rett & Savage) ;. 14th, 10.111.��������� During the'past .week the arrivals ol! British Columbia fruit in carlols have become more frequent. LOvery car is loaded pretty heavily to potatoes of which there is quite a percentage arriving in poor condition owing to being sacked too wet or being allowed to lay,in Ihe sun too long. There has been some evidence of powdery scab We have, however, in every instance where there was any appearance, of poor potatoes re-sacked everything and shipped it outi u good condition. Therefore, we are sure that' the deliveries of potatoes have been all of fine quality. Pota'oes are being offered today as low as $3S.O0 to $40 in the Okanagan Valley. Stock's on hand cost from SoS to $45 beginning from the date they arrived. The demand is good and by the end of this week will be working entirely upon a cost of $35 in the Okanagan Valley. Blackberries: The market on black berries has been exceedingly good but the supply does not in any way meet tlie demand. Price is ruling from $4.00 to $4.25 per crate. We are interested in receiving increased shipments of. this commodity.' Uhioberrios: Receipt of blueberries, have been limited which is due to a great extent to the_ wet weather in British Columbia cutting down full supply. On Monday of next week there will be good full supply daily from Ontario, selling on a basis of $3.00 for a 15 lb basket. Peaches are arriving now from all parts of the Pacific Coast slope, namely California, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. The heaviest shipments are from California and the variety entirely Elbertas which are of fine quality and have sold today at froin $1.75 to $1.85 per crate which in our opinion ist he lowest price that first class free stone peach es wi 11 reach this year. There are also receipts from Washington and Oregon but the varieties have not been as favorable for a demand from the consumer for the reason that they have been clings and semi-clings mostly Triumphs and Deweys. '��������� British Columbia receipts of peaches cluing this week have been quite liberal and the maket on account of the small size and the over-ripeness ol* the fruit has got down as low as $1.50 wholesale. This can be expected in view of .the market being well supplied with California freestone stock of Tine quality. , Apples. Tiie apple market in Calgary is exceedingly slow and we aunt a loss to account for such alow movement The price is reasonable namely we aro selling No. 1 Duchess -wrapped at $2.50 per box No. 2 add faced and filled green apples at $2.21-. We do not expect to be able to sell apples at much below this figure (his year, rlha crop is a reasonably good one in the West but to our mind can be maketed in the Western Povinces without any great reduction over the buying price today which is $1.7 5 for loose pack faced and filled. I'lums. liecejpt of plums from !���������. C. for the last ten- days have been quite liberal and the peach plum predominating. Most receipts have arrived in dogooenditio ii fgwyp rived in good condition and sold from $1.75 to $2.00 per crate of four baskets. There have also been a few Tragedies Burbanks and Sugars Tragedies netting about 5 0 c* a crate more than the other varieties. Two cars of California plums arrived this week and) have met with, a very 'ready market at. around $3.00 to $3.25 per. crate. These plums are extra large fancy desert fruit weigh- in b about 26 lbs to the crate net, therefore the reason for being able to get the price that we are naming on this particular pack of fruit. The" same includes such varieties as Tragedies Diamonds, Giants, Wicksons, Kelsies and Grand Dukes. Pears. The market has been well supplied with pears from both Washington and California. The Bartlett is the only variety that is now offered Washington pears are selling at $3.- 50 for standard box weighing about 50 lbs. gross. California pears on account of being a more uniform pack and being for immediate use command about $1.00 per box more. Canteloupes. This market is receiv ing two or three cars of these per week. Apricots have been rather a drug on the market this week on account of nearly all receipts arriving in more or less unsatisfactory condition, due to a great extent to over-ripeness of the fruit when shipped. We are told on good authority that the fruit has got ahead of the growers and they are forced to gather the fruit too ripe for shipment. We take it, therefore, that the shortage of labor .is making its appearance in the producing sections, and we want co warn all shippers of fruit that they should endeavor at air times to get their fruit packed and shipped on the green side, rather than take the chance of losing the entire shipment and the express charges in addition. Good apricots are selling freely at $2.25 per crate for No. 1 stock. Cucumbers. Pickling cucumbers are reaching the market this week in large quantities and being sold as low is '90(J a box of 20 lbs. This to our mind, is about as low as cucumbers will get this year. The market is however, in fine condition for receipts of heavy consignments of cucumbers, but wo want to warn all growers to refrain from, sending them by express as they would not show them anything like decent ....returns. Freight.runs abou t 8tf a box- where as express is .4 5^. Tomatoes. Heavy shipments of tomatoes have been received this week from Ontario. A car Saturday morning next will undoubtedly be the last car of Ontario tomatoes to reach the Calgary market this year. Price will be $2 per basket of 18 lbs. Tomatoes from B. C. Receipts of , (From the Bulletin) - Rogina, /Vug 10���������British Colmbia mixed cars moving freely, but at the same time reports from all parts of he province, indicate that the demand is not strong and sales by the jobbers light.

Dr. Dunn, of New .Westminster, Rev. Mr Wealhcrdon, Episcopalian, and Rev. C. McDiarmid, of Mission City, took ��������� part, in the service. All spoke in impressive and touching terms of the la.te Mrs. Manzer. -������������������ Dr..- Dunn who had been acquainted with her for thirty years delivered tlie following address: The cause of our gathering here today -was as unexpected as it was painful. To mo, to all of us, the death of our dear friend, Mrs. Manzer, was an un looked for .event. How little do avo Know today what (.he , events of tomorrow may be. Till Sal- unlay the deceased appeared to be in her usual vigorous health, attending to her ordinary household duties, when suddenly as a thief in the night, the call came "arise and depart; this is not your rest." After all, how much to be desired is a sudden painless' death to a long lingering illness, accompanied by severe torturing pains. The date, the place the. manner of our departure God in His wisdom determines, and just as Ke determines so it comes to pass. The exact date of my first meeting with the Manzer family, I am not quite certain. 'I remember to have conducted servicesr"ut Silverdale,..on several Sunday afternoons from IS90 onwards. One Sunday afternoon I arrived early for service and found Mrs. Manzer, with her young family' around her instructing them in the Holy Scriptures!' Another Sunday, >-after a long'walk, 1 reached the Man- ��������� zcr home (the place- of meeting) late and found the people waiting, perhaps impatiently, the arrival of the preacher to begin service. When I got thero, however, 1 was not quite ready to begin. 1 managed to communicate the fact to Mrs. Manzer, that 1 had had no food since early morning. In'an instant she quietly placed bread and beet and water on a shelf in the pantry and signalled to me to come in and partake. I gladly did so standing. In that quiet, kindly, hospitable way she, that day, treated me; and in that same kindly hospitable manner she treated all ministers and missionaries coming to Sil- yerdale. But whenever f returned to the settlement to conduct some special service, I found, whoever might be present or absent, Mr. and Mrs. Manzer there, with their family cf boys and girls, latterly young men and women. The late M threw her whole weight so:il--:s .of religion and morality, and h<;! -lillueuce for good in tiie district as as great. She .was a peacemaker and ncit a peace-breaker. Slander, meddlesome, gossipy conversation she detested and avoided, licr wisdom, .tier candour and her piety eminently .fitted her to be the counsellor of old;'and young.

' A great many have gone to town this week to attend the exhibition, among those are the Peeles, Boyds, McGowans, McCallums, Mr. Martin 'and Geo. Salt. The profits obtained from marketing lean, poorly ileshed, uniformed chickens are so small as to be frequently discouraging. Many of the packing houses and larger produce dealers find it necessary to go to considerable expense for.the premises to provide the necessary premises and equipment to properly finish such poultry. The best place to feed " poultry is on the farm, and, if it pays the packing houses to take the trouble, it obviously would be good business to do the work on the farm: Proper' feeding and finishing will not only greatly increase the weight of the birds, but' will also enhance the value of every ounce of flesh on the carcass, and greatly reduce the proportion of offal in relation to the amount of edible meat. There is generally a difference of from three to seven cents per pound in che price paid for well-fleshed birds as compared with lean unfinished stock just off the range. There is always a market for -prime quality ��������� poultry, while the poorer quality has to be sold at whatever price can be obtained, depending on' the market and the amount of effort put forth on the part of the seller. Birds generally make the greatest gain when about three to four months ������������������ of age,and the average birds :aake the most economical gains during the first two. weeks of special feeding. Chickens can be readily taught to feed by lamplight; this is a great convenience, as it is desirable that ihe time of feeding be spaced as near ly as possible ^welve hours apart. The crate system of feeding is much more economical and efficient. in practising this method, one is able to carefully note the progress being made by each bird and the feeding period of the more thrifty can often be shortened or lengthened as desired Also the flesh of the crate-fed birds is invariably softer than that of pen fed birds. For amplication of the foregoing information apply to the Publications Branch, Department fo Agriculture, Ottawa, for Bulletin No. 88 .of the Division of Poultry of. the Experimental Farms entitled "Preparing Poultry Produce for Market." No Food to Waste The fact' that the restrictions on the use of. bacon and other pork products have been removed for the time being, does not mean that food economies are no longer necessary. Tho facts are that there is not an ounce of food too much in the world and that every man woman and child is under the sternest necessity of saying whatever he or she can ot those foods most needed oversea. Any temporary relaxation of the restrictions, such as in the case of pork- must not bo construed as notice to the public that extravagance In any food is again endurable.���������Canada Fod Board.
