"'���������''���������'-" E.sewhere we give the provincial government proposals 'for the establishment of a. demonstration for the- lower mainland. The establishment of demonstration orchards means a good deal in the development of the district in fruit growing and the proposal should receive the attention of all fruit growers. Fruit growing is just in its infancy and there are many things' in relation to this line of work that differ so much 'in different districts that it is very desirable to . arrive at some basis of action applying to the.'Praser Valley. There is pruning, spraying, -cultivation of ground under the trees, remedies for insect pests, etc and a variety of other subjects capable of demonstration, which is now left to individual 'opinion.' ,T.he hew comer who settles oh the land intending to grow fruit and seeking certain information is very con-1 fused arid misled by/the various opinions of his advisers. But with the results" of a few 'seasons' 'of experimental work in a demori- stration orchard and the published results for reference the present uncertainty as to the best, of methods to' be adopted would' be .removed. The provincial government are to be commended for the excellent world th'ey are 'doing "for this infant industry and laying a foundation for' the fruit grower to I work upon] The fact "'that' a demonstration orchard is to be established ori both sides of the Fra- ser shows that, the government mean business.

Apples, plums and. - pears were on thje fenarket in large quan tities.arid though the weather was favorable'for the sale of fruit the demand was weak. The prices in consequence were;low and the sale not great. This is accounted .for- partly by the reports,of.the fall apple crop .which is reported to be exceptionally good..--The V apples on sale nowd b not-keep'long, and\ are not as'good.for .generatuscas, the'later ripples. Thus the demand no.w is mostly for .eating apples, and it requires not a great deal to, supply tha ...tdemand. Pears and plums also suffer from '" the \v-,eak|ness ijn apples and fruit on;. th;e 'market and could be purchas-, cd as cheaply as they will proba- ably ever be' again. ' ��������� v '���������'.
