BATES, Editor and Proprietor Published Every Friday AUGUST 5, 1921 Seven years ago. England declared a state of war against-Germany for that nation's violation of Belgium's neutrality and within a few hours after King George had given his assent to the measure passed in the Hou'ye of Commons, troops were being, rushed to the aid of Prance and Belgium. ' As time went on thousands of men were trained and .sent, into battle and on the ninth day of February, 1915, the flower of Canada's .manhood landed on the shores of sunny France, ready to take their place in the battle line for the cause of freedom. - Little did we think at that time, what a serious game war'is, but when the first cables, arrived telling of the fathers, sons and sweethearts who had laid down their lives, then and then only, did we begin to realize- that after all Sherman'was right. But once faced with the grim reality of this mighty weapon that was steadily wiping out the nation's man power, the people .of Canada got down to business in true Canadian fashion and it was not long before socks.were being sent to the troups, hospitals erected and equipped to take care of the wounded, homes established for the convalescent while all the time a steady stream of well-equipped, well trained, soldiers were being, sent across the seas to fill the gaps in that never dauntless line. Sometimes a ray of sunshine and hope appeared through clouds of . despair, when we read of the splendid achievements of our gallant lads.at Givinchy, Hill 70, Courc'elette, Vimy Ridge, and other now historical spots, where" the Hun was driven back with great loss. The beginning of 1918 saw the troops weary of war and the people at home weary, of waiting. That memorable drive made by the Germans in February of that year left us gasping with fear that all our efforts were perhaps in vain., Then.came a relaxation of the strain. The tide of battle had turned. The Allies were chasing the Bosche on all fronts. Battle after battle was won and still, the hand of Foch pressed the German horde farther and farther backward. As the summer waned, the thoughts of another winter-of war had a depressing effect on us all, troops and civilians alike. Is it any wonder that the wholec ountry went wild with joy when the news was flashed across the continent on the morning of November .11th that the greatest struggle in history was over? That the armistice had been signed and hostilities had ceased. Now the war is a thing of the past, a bit- ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ter memory of a world-wide struggle caused through greed for power, which left vacant chairs in thousands of homes and heartaches among thousands of mothers, wives and sweathearts and now, on this seventh anniversary of its beginning, let us work and pray for that universal peace for which David Lloyd George and his government are striving. The negotiations at present being carried on point to a filial settlement of the so-called Irish question. Every British "subject knows that as things are, the Irish republicans are rebels, but we refuse to deal with them as such. They are treated, and they will always be treated as members of the same family, fractions but only slightly erring. It may be that we are optimistic but we honestly believe that the statesmanship of Ireland both in the North and in the South, is equal to the birth o a new idea. The two sections of the Irish people are each led by men of vision, who, however they may be led astray by their personal views, must take heed of the actual conditions. They cannot be ignored. It can be taken for granted that the, two sections of the Irish people will come together on all that is really essential to a settlement. The part played by the. old quarrels,and the troubles arising therefrom can be avoided by foregetting. Why not forget?ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½Kamloops Standard Sentinel. The decision of the court of appeal regarding the liability of automobile owners, for accidents, will be welcome news to thousands! of people throughout the province. In" the past, an owner was held responsible for any accident whether he himself was driving the car. or not and thousands of dollars worth of damages have been reluctantly paid by owners of cars,'who had the misfortune to have their car mixed up in an accident while it was being ' driven by a friend or employee. But the decision of the appeal court changes the status of an auto owner in so far as, he is not how deemed liable for any damages unless lie is personally in charge of the car for which he has taken out a license. Through the efforts of Ex-Minislcr of Com-; nninications Yen Kung-cho, of the Chinese Republic, and a few of his friends a bank is to be established at Shanghai which is to bo known as "The People' Bank of China." The new enterprise which will have a capitalization of $1,000,000, will have as its object, in addition to conducting the usual banking, business, the speciall attention of enterprises that will assist'the poor. This is a progressive step in the right direction and one that should commend itself to the attention oi' some of our Canadian banking institutions. Fear is expressed among the thirsty of the Province, that the next step on the part of organized labour, will-be to induce the wane clerks in Government liquor stores to go out on strike for a 44 hour week. This" would mean the loss of four valuable hours of time in which to get permits filled out. Readers of the Vancouver World are being taught how to play tennis by William T. Til- den, world's famous grass court champion. This may suit some people but there are a lot more that would welcome a few lessons on "how to play, the ponies."

The Women's Institute are tohold a "Better Baby" contest in connection with their flower show this month. That will be one occasion when the judges will be more unpopular than a baseball umpire.

While the , question of supremacy may be a matter of opinion only,, the fact.remains that the Mission-Hatzic district has and is producing a quality of fruit second to none in the Dominion of Canada, and rank ing with the best placed on the, markets across the border where the industry is on a much more . extensive basis than it is'here, and where the growers have the benefit of years of experience in produc es div-0<-!"i up bet berries, ioganberr; ries and .currants. Quality Very Good And the quality of the berries produced in this district have always been on a par if not better than those grown in the east and Southern Oregon; This year, owing to the extreme wet weather,th:e, strawberries grown around the mainland were not as good as the.farmers wished for, as they were too soft generally for table use, but were, fairly good jam quality. On the other hand - the raspberry crop this ' year was the largest ever taken off and the quality away above the average, the Dominion Fruit. Inspector at Hatzic bestowing great praise on the growers for the excellent quality of the yield this year. Besides having the quality, the berries were plentiful and as a- result the Fruit and Mercantile Exchange, Ltd., which is a co-operative non-profit association, have shipped'something over 125 cars of raspberries to the prairies up to date. Shortage of Hoxes . Although the. strawberry season was a poor one on the whole, the growers were up against the obstacle of not being able to secure crates from the box rectories in time to pack and ship their wares to eastern -points at the right time. The F.and M which is made up of about 95 p. c. of the growers of the Mission-Hatzic. district, ordered from the box factories of B. C.,. 170,000 crates for immediate delivery to'meet tho needs of their -members. Apparently this large amount of unexpected business caught the manufacturers with their coats on, for-they failed to produce enough crates to handle the strawberry crop and as a result drily 52 cars of this fruit were shipped from Hatzic siding and much of what available berries there were to be had, never reached the markets. This unforeseen handicap, coup, led with the small crop produced, was a severe blow to the growers and the majority of them lost money on strawberries as a result. Dealers Praise Growers One of the outstanding features of the present berry season see that ing this class of fruit. But in I has. been the unstinted praise experience only are the grow-sthat has been bestowed on the ers across the line ahead of local growers by the dealers the Valley men, for it is a safe on the prairies. Hardly a day bet that they posses no better J passes but what the office of land for the growing of rasp-;the F and M receives a. tele- berries than that owned on the lower mainland. Forging Ahead Gradually Although the small fruit growing industry is still in its infancy here, it is steadily growing from year to year and in a short time will come to be recognized as a link in the chain of British Columbia productions, ranking Jn importance with the lumber and fishing industries which for years have maintained a premier position among the commercial enterprises of the Dominion. Especially is this true when one takes into consideration the fact that prior to the summer of 1914 there were only 14 3-4 acres of strawberries and 123 1-2 acres of raspberries under cultivation in the Mission-Hatzic district as compared with 447 acres of strawberries and 582 acres of raspberries at the beginning of this year, which is a record for the growers to well be proud of. The increase in acreage has of course been gradual as the years went on, but the past two years have been exceptional inasmuch as that no less thai 296 acres of strawberry plants were put in that no less than 296, acres of raspberry canes were put down, giving the district north of the Fraser river a total acreage of 2520 2-3 in small fruits. Of this number, 1029 acres are planted with strawberries and raspberries, while the ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ balance gram of commendation from a dealer expressing appreciation for the excellent condition of purpose of transporting perishable freight, have large ., ice compartments at each end, the sides being heavily insulated in order to keep out the heat. The berry crates are ' packed with such accuracy that they will not jolt around during shipment over the roughest roadbed. And in shipping by this manner the fruit reaches its-destination in good hardy shape. " ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Cost of Production While the,, consumer sits down to "the table and. enjoys $S.OO his dish of raspberries " with cream and grouses about the high price of fruit in general, he rarely ever stops to think about, what,it. costs the grower to produce tlie fruit he is eating. And costs to-day are of the utmost importance when it conies to the setting of the whole-sale price of any commodity. Although the price of raspberry canes arc about the same to-day ast hey were before tho World war, the cost of labor for picking the fruit, the cost of crates and other'Items have all gone soaring since the time William took it into his head he could lick the - world. In 1916 it cost the growers ^45 per cent of the 6 1-4 cents per pound they received for their strawberries to have them picked. The crates they were packed, in, cost 17 ,cents each. To clay the growers are paying the pickers 85 cents per crate', or 20 per cent, of what they received for their product, while the cost of crates has reached the high water ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ mark of 32 cents each. Last year the growers received around $4.88 a crate for their raspberries. It.cost .them 26 per cent, of this amount to have them picked. To-day they are getting $4.00 a crate and out of this the pickers' get 85 cents, the cold-storage'plant takes 15 cents more for pre- cooling; the crate costs them 32. cents more to-say nothing of the costs of labor before picking time at $2.50 per day' 'and board per man and the extra cost for handling at the storage plant. Of course the independent grower who ships in less than carload lots avoids part of this cost but It is doubtful whether his product reaches the eastern market in as good condition as the pre-cooled berry. Costs Must Drop All indications point to this being a trying year for the small fruit grower and one and all are of the opinion that the cost of production must be reduced materially if the industry is to thrive from now on. The end, a large quantity of'growers, raspberries are now being froz-ithe whole en at the cold storage plant to ' picking. II I'H'orc they J-c turned into jam later: , The association' have already put away about 500 tons of strawberries and a percentage, of other fruits which will . bb stored almost. at once. Strawberries in order to keep must,be put away packed with sugar on the ratio of half, a pound to a pound of berries, which' makes this venture a cost ly one with sugar worth about per hundred pounds. A 'hey maintain that secret lies in the berries are picked get too ripe they will ship to the east in good shape for the market aiKLwilh require no pre-cooling. They point out that berries have been shipped for years'by express, with satisfactory results and they scoff at the statement of j. A. C!rant, Markets' Commissioner ,-for British Columbia who sets the value of L.C.L. berriqs at 50 cents per crate lower than pre-cooled fruit, canning factory large enough-One or two of them have into take care of the needs of jferred to the writer that all is the association will cost in the.not peace and satisfaction neighborhood of $50,000 while (among the members-of the F cans (4-lb size) are worth about and M.

Glass jars are'has been brought about it is away up in price just now and said.over the strawberry and gooseberry difficulties, many of the growers claiming that they shipped berries (especially gooseberries), and. so far are still-in the dark as to what they 'are to receive for them. On the other hand the co-operative. men contend that one "and all are satisfied, one of the largest going so far as to prodict that another year would see every grower on the lower'mainland, linked up with the organization. Favor Amalgamation 'ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ The majority of the local growers are in accord on the question of amalgamation with the growers of the United States: As one pointed out, the lower mainland together with southern Oregon and California, comprises the greatest small fruit area in the world, and it is only natural that the interests indications arc ihas the price will remain firm for hoivo time to come.. The price ol* boxes however, is dropping down steadily and it would not be surprising if this item will be a mere detail ui the overhead cos' of canning this fall and winter. But taken all the way through, the establishment of a canning factory by. the F and M is bound to prove an expensive venture at the start and may be more so as the time goes on, for it is doubtful whether the co-operatives will be able to compete in the open market with corporations like the Dominion Canners and other well- known firms.

This plant which was erected last year, cost the growers $55,000 but it, has proven a good investment. When the berries are brought in from the farm to the platform at Hatzic, they generally test around 76 degrees Fahrenheit. The berries are immediately placed in a pre-cooling room which is kept at a temperature of 40 degrees and are left there until they are loaded on the refrigerator cars for shipment to eastern points. Great care is exercised in loading of the cars in-order that no heat conies in contact with the berries. The small areas between the storage plant doorways and the car doors, are protected from the sun and warm atmosphere by canvas curtains. The main hall of the storage plant is kept around 40 degrees also, so the berries are kept at the same degree of temperature from the time they reach the pre-cooling room until they are loaded on the cars. These cars which are specially constructed for the convinced that a fair labor on a fruit farm ducers who are^holdin a fair price foivtheir commodity: So far there is no signs of a settlement of the wrangle and now the F and M has come out with announcement that they are going to erect a plant of their own, claiming that this action has been forced on them by the canners. The associated growers arc adverse to accepting the price offered by the canners which was quoted recently at nine cents per pound for canning berries and six to seven .cents per pound for jam quality. On the other hand'the independent growers who number about five per cent, of those in the district, are said to have agreed to accept the wage for, prevail ing would be as a result $1.50 per day and board; while market for market price and have a steady all their' ber- in the picking season, the piece |ries of this class.

And as to timated to the write? that there1 Mission"Hatzic dlstrict become outfoi?(another invitation will be extended this, fall, and better hopes are held out that a joint meeting can be arranged. If this is brought about, the growers here should go one step farther and invite the Niagara Peninsula growers to send representatives to the meeting. The men from Ontario have had many years experience in the growing of small fruit, and without a doubt, their advice on questions pertaining to the good of .the industry generally, would be welcomed by all. Such a conference would be of prime importance to all growers, insomuch as a working agreement could be arrived at for the stabilizing of prices. The future of the berry growing in this district depends on sound management and no stone should be left unturned in order that the fruit from the crates, th egrowers believe that planY aT~Hat- they are l)ayillg about double 'what they should for the fruit containers. This item in the cost of production has been an imaginary thorn in the side of the growers ali year atid there is strong talk among the members of the F and M that unless the box manufacturers are prepared to contract this fall for next year's supply of crates at what they consider a fair price, they .will go ' ahead and erect their own box factory in order that they can supply their crates at practically cost next summer. Undoubtedly this would be a good step on the part of the growers if such a thing should come to pass, but for a young organization it would perhaps bï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ better to go slow in the matter of expenditures as history has shown that many a promising baby has been crippled by trying to walk when it should only be creeping. In Canning Business Announcement has already been made by the F and M that they will erect their own canning plant this fall and toward was a possibility of the independents also going into the canning game on a small scale but such a rumor should be taken with a grain of salt because the independents are in the minimum and they least of all, would be in a position to withstand a price war with the big canners. Arc Doing Well But in any event the independents claim they are doing well on their product this year and are apparently well satisfied with the prices they are receiving. They are up against a slightly higher production cost than the co-operactives inasmuch as their crates are costing them about 4 1-2 cents apiece more, besides they have the difference in shipping rates to shoulder between carload and L.C.L. However they have a steady market on the prairies, one firm serving 2,000 small retailers and consumers direct. The independents laugh at the statement that their berries do not reach the desination in as good condition as the pre-cool- as famous as the oranges southern California. of PRAIRIE CROP CONDITIONS REPORT Week of abnormally hot weather wilh light showers over small scattered areas has' resulted in lowering anticipated yields in the throe provinces. Good heavy rainfall would still benefit; harvesting of rye and barley ganeral and in some places completed. In southern Manitoba cutting of early sown wheat is in progress and will be general within week or ten days. Red rust exists.in various districts in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, no damage reported. Black rust has affected some crops but not extensively. The intensely hot weather during the past month, has reduced expectations, but does not impair prospects for a crop above the average of years since 1915. The campaign on grasshoppers has been successful and minimized losses from this cause. Hail over scattered areas caused some damage, but not no severe as previous week. Livestock doing well, but market conditions disappointing.
