The overloading of cars that was recently found necessary resulted in considerable loss of foodstuff's that in our opinion could have been saved with an improvement in tlie ventilation. Splendid results are being obtainecLby ordinary stock cars in use as fruit cars which proves the value of ventilation. The carriers of perishable fruits and vegetables cannot continue the present faulty system without being held responsible for the losses that result. We intend to press for experiments with ventilated devices now seeking a chance to demonstrate their value. We want to secure Tor B. 0. a chance to compete in Winnipeg and other distant markets on equal or better footing than our well equipped neighbors to the south. Pre-cooling plants at shipping point will help us to this end, but the brine tank car as a fruit carrier must have ventilation added before it will prove satisfactory in this service, even if pre-cooling was practiced.���������'Market' Bulletin. Many autoists dislike the present condition .of .the State'.road from Sumas to' Bellingham owing to the loose gravel and the bridges with the long nails sticking up an inch or two and make a trip,in another direction altogether. There is however another way to get to the same point from Mission City. . Instead of turning south at Abbotsford go along the Yale road.to wards Peardonville. To do this make a turn to the left about two or three miles from Abbotsford. Turn south to where two roads lead from the one road. Take the road to the Avost and follow along past one sideroad, making a..turn south again whore a north and south road cross. This leads to the Peardonville school. At the school turn to the right going a- bout a mile until the first road down the hill to -the south, which takes you to the boundary line. Go west to the custom house, about two miles. In front of the custom house is a road going straight south. Take that one down about three miles and then turn to the right. Shortly afterwards turn to the left which leads to Bellingham. landing you in the centre of the town. It is about ten miles from Abbotsford to Peardonville over a fair summer road and about four miles from there to the customs office. The A- merican roads are good, with only one long bridge to cross but the nails are driven down or were on Labor Day. There are about ten miles of fine pavement. Lynden lies to the loft about three miles from the Canadian customs office. Miss Trene Cameron of Vancouver visited Miss Evelyn McMenemy last week. Miss Young and a friend from Vancouver were the guests of Mrs. T. A. iSwift last week end and Labor Day.

The present condition of the Yale Road is deplorable; it is such that it is getting to be a serious matter to travel over it. It is a veritable death trap for auto drivers and their cars, and sometime an accident may probably liap- ' pen in the loose gravel that will bring before tlie public in a mournful way, the antiquated methods adopted in road building on the Yale road���������the custom of throwing loose rock, etc., on the middle of the road to such a depth that only the heaviest cars are able to.plow through it, and thus make a track right to the old road bed, rendering of no permanent road value at one fell stroke what it cost good public money to put on the road. After that light cars of all kinds will probably have to go through on low gear, and always with a certain amount of danger' too. Tlie state of the road is almost, criminal. There are' many tilings punished severely that are less dangerous than the putting of a public road in such a condition. Both this year and last year loose rocky gravel has been piled on the Yale road here and there to such a depth that the light cars have ;to go through on low gear, and should another car be met in middle of one of these stretches of roads there is danger lurking around to both cars, drivers and occupants. Some drivers do not stop at the end of .one of these; places or come fast which-makes it all the worse. , The material used though is the best in the land if properly treated. It sheu'ld be screened and run through a rock crusher before placing-it on the road. But someone will say, 'that costs money.' Yes, it will cost money but the public wi'll not eventually have to pay any more for it than they do now,and there will be the added advantage of', travelling with more safety and on a better road. A rock crusher for about $400 and a tractor for about $1500 or $1600 burning coal oil is all the equipment that is required. The tractor will run the rock crusher and then haul tlie crusher to a new place, or even the crushed rock to the places on the road where required. $2000 invested in this manner would guarantee that the Yale road would benefit by the amount of money expended on it each year���������and in past twenty years enough money has been spent to have the road from New Westminster to Abbotsford paved with gold. One instance comes to mind just previous to an election some $15,000 was spent on a part of the road hear Murray's Corners���������about a mile. It caught the votes all right but it would have been easier to have handed the voters the cash, and it would have been no greater crime. It is certain that if Premier Oliver's attention, through the Minister of Public Works, were properly called to the present state of affairs on the Yale road he would immediately investigate the matter, unless we are very much mistaken. He surely does not know how the government money is bemg wasted. It just amounts to this that it robbing the people of the province of their rights of a good road, and might be called highway robbery. No road will ever be built in a thousand years by the present methods. The work is not only disgraceful but costs every owner money to drive over the road and with extreme danger to himself, everybody in the car and any person else on the road-; Here is work for our Board of Trade if it wants everlasting honour. .lust write a good strong letter to the Premier and the Minister of Public-Works.

It was quite noticeable during ihe recent land boom when the land-seeker was out to settle in a new home in a climate that would be agreeable all the year round without the extremes of heat and cold. .He, the prospective settler, came, was. pleased with the situation, what he was told of the climate in. ���������e-jHirUjii dead in n-'rauce. Conditions iti tlio United ������������������jli'i;* Nni\ in summer and in winter, but when told story after story of the mosquito pest, invariably left for some oilier district seeking hisicieal of a Garden or Eden. ��������� .Had if not been for the mosquito pest, the Eraser valley wouid have had hundreds more settlers. The question of cost of protecting the Nicomen lands and the dyking of the Sumas prairie lands is quite a consideration, but seeing that not only would it protect certain lands but would go a long way towards eliminating the mosquito pest, thus making surrounding lands habitable, me matter should be taken up with vigor by our governments. Cost should be nothing if the welfare of the Fraser Valley is to be considered. Big undertakings in the way of reclaimed lands have been dealt with on the Pacific coast on the American side of the line. Down on the Sacramento river a sea of wheat replaces what was a sea of water, just 20,000 acres in one tract bringing forth the the cereal which the Allies in the world war are in such great ' need of now. The huge tract formerly covered with the flood waters of the Sacramento and the American rivers lies in a fertile basin of 20,000 acres, most of which has been reclaimed and turned to agriculture through the efforts of the federal and state governments at the cost of millions of dollars. The reclamation of this land-in permanent fashion was made possible by the progress of the Sacramento river flood control project, which, after indorsement by congress and the California legislature, is being steadily rushed co completion by the federal authorities, the California debris company, on one hand and the state authorities, the reclamation board, on tiie other/ The project eventually will cost about $42,ouo,000 and is designed co take care of the floods of the Sacramento river, which amount to five times as much as the river channel can carry. The interests of navigation, reclamation and flood control are so intermingled that it is necessary to adopt a plan which will provide for all three. The partial completion of the big project, with its accompanying putting to use of the reclaimed land, indicates in a measure what,- is one of the largest, if not the greatest American fields grown to this grain. Yakima is forging ahead and is one of the great trade centres just to the south of us. Important recamation schemes are centred in the Yakima Valley. In the Sunnyside, Tieton and Wpato units it is contemplated that there will be expended $4,000,000 and that there will be reclaimed 84,000 acres of land. The Sunnyside lands lie in the lower valley and the others in the visinity of Yakima. When these schemes arc all completed the valley will have no superior. These two schemes outlined should show what is being done and has been done to reclaim lands. What other governments have done should stiffen the backbone of our governments to such an extent that they will march up bravely with eyes to the front, face tlie jobs and carry them. out. The whole province will benefit. The growing cities at the coast need produce and with the elimination of the .mosquito pest there would be but very little need for the importation of millions of dollars of produce each year. We-.wonId.all got the value of these millions that now never come back, and they would help to build up B. C.

Dr. C. Gordon Hewitt, Dominion Entomologist, is to be present; and there will probably be representatives from all parts of the mosquito belt present. It should be the beginning of great things for-this district; and will no doubt lead to some method by which the mosquito pest will be eliminated from this part of the Fraser Valley. Tt is a big question and needs to be dealt with by men big enough to grasp the opportunities and the present situation���������it means the protection of he lands of Nicomen Island and. the reclamation of the Sumas prairie jllucI, together with some system oi* drainage for other lowlands. Without the moquito post the Fraser Valley would be a Gar- en of Eden pouring its rich treasures of produce into the coast cities and over the prairie lands across the Rockies. it is hoped that a very large number of the farmers and fruit growers of the Vailey will be present to hear what Dr. Hewitt has to say. The larger the au.'iioace the more readily will the powers that be listen to any scheme we may ask them to carry out later. It is the duiy ot everyone I o lay aside work on Tuesday afternoon and come to Mission Ciiy. Make it a full house. The meeting is cailed'for 2 p.m. round $2.50 to $2.75 per box. Tlie buying prices In Britten Columbia is $1.75. j The demand for pears Is exceedingly good. Tlie Bartletts predominate as fai as varieties are concerned. We figure that Bartletts will bo over; within the next two weeks. Bos- socks, Flemish and Fall Butter are now appearing and will sell at from $2.75 to $3.25 par box. Receipts of melons have been e- qual to the demand all week, most of which have been coming from California and Washington. Flats are selling at from $2.00 to $2.25 per crate and Standards at $5.00 to $5.50 Casaba and Persian Melons are selling at G^ per lb. Both are meoting with a good reception from the trade the first receipts arrinving this week and tho quality is exceedingly fine. The vegetable market in Calgary is somewhat sluggish owing to tlio fact that there are heavy receipts of local potatoes, cabbage, carrots, turnips, beets and .cauliflower being offered. The only commodity which nan be imported from B. C. to advantage and will meet with a reception from the trade is potatoes, and even those are coming in in much smaller uuantities from tho last three weeks. Price on B. C. potataoes have been $2.2 5 per 100 all week, the buying price has been from $25.00 to $28 per ton. Onions are moving quite freely at $3.00 per 100, the buying price has been from $30.00 to $35.00 according'to quality. Receipts of blackberries have been light and demand is strong. Everything arriving in good condition is selling at $4.00. We would urge shippers to send forward as many blackberries as possible to this market. Crab apples are moving slowly the price around $2.00 per box, the buying price $1.35 to $1.40 f.o.b. B. C Receipts of corn have been quite heavy the past week coming in from several points in B. C. as well as Ronalane in southern Alberta, from which point heavy receipts have been arriving. The corn from this point is receiving preference over all other shipments, as it arrives in better condition and is .put up in first class shape, containing exactly six dozen to the case. The variety is Malakoff and Golden Bantom. fa f* B -'f������5 S ft U h t& ^"* j & ih o a n it n > ,i Every housekeeper realizes that the nice plate of war bread is one of the important items of a well set table as it is the finishing touch to a well prepared meal.

The writer wont to th., trouble of making inquiry lrom all the wholesale houses in tne cily and wish here to state that you could not buy 300 boxes of peachea in the entire city, outside ot what the market repoj Led they had to offer. !i ;���������> the writer's opinion that the article in the Calgary Canadian v.as a camouflage to trap British Columbia growers and influence, thorn to maiis shipment to their market, but as a matter'of fact the market'had an opportunity of getting good long pricey, for pouches as there was 'noihing ripe on the market and the wholesalers were selling at .$1.75 .per box what they did have.

Receivers of tiiis letter would be good enough to iulorm e\ ery local distritct paper regarding this information, so that consigned fruit would be stopped to (h's source, unless they can be sure of a certain guarantee and if this guarantee is put up you will find out that the market will be put on a mere stable basis. The Calgary market on a whole has been in very fine shape all week Nearly every commodity has been short. This refers particularly to ripe and green tomatoes which have been cleaning up faster than receipts '���������an arrive. Ripes are selling at $1 per crate of four baskets wholesale, green at the same price for the pear Calgary and The Prairie Markets The movements of fruits has been a little more satisfactory this week from "a jobber's standpoint. Edmonton has especially noted an improvement. The wholesale trade there has conducted a campaign of educating the consumer as to the best time to preserve certain fruits and vegetables, especially crabapples and tomatoes and the press of that city has cheerfully given space to some of our articles on this subject. B. C. producers should co-operate in a campaign to inform the prairie house wives on the peak of the season of each fruit, especially In a year like this when we are offering our fruits two weeks ahead of our usual season. Saskatoon is brisk but would be improved by taking a leaf out of Edmonton's book re advertising. Some very fine crabapples arrived there from Okanagan Centre. There were some very fine Duchess No. 1 and No. 2 in the car and the shipment was reported as the finest to arrive in Saskatoon this year. Calgary has had a better week than usual. The arrivals have been ample and fair trade has resulted. Prices are similar to last week. Some Farmers' and Travelers trade solicited.
