Robertson, manager of the Okanagan United Growers, who has been one of the chief agitators for co-operative movement among fruit growers for some time, and whose \"efforts in that direction have, already \u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD brought many excellent results.

The Minister believed that a large superior to the Washington products and thatr they had secured a ready market. . , With regrd to the outlook of the fruit industry in the Okanagan he said that efforts would be made towards the amalgamation of .shipping intrests. ' Tho country had the climate, the land and the people, and by avoiding the mistakes that had previously' been made, the indications pointed to real prosperity in the days to come, such as yet had never been- enjoyed. The remainder of the morning was spent in the discussion of the resolutions, a report on by-products'and a general discussion on various points brought up in the address of Mr. Robertson. In the afternoon the discussion was continued until the arrival r of the Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. Price Ellison. \"1 have had several previous opportunities,\" he said, \" to address the Association, but what 1 have to say fo day will be on very different lines. The time has passed when the Department of Agriculture had to urge the fruit growers ot the Province to continue in their work and to give instructions as to how tho industry should be conducted. You have become the most epert fruit grower in the world, and not only do you produce the bes.t apples, but you have gained for yourself the reputation of being, the most expert fruit packers in the world.\" The Minister stated that he remembered the birth of the industry in the Province when the first carloads were being brought to the coast, and it was a striking contrast to what was going on today. The progress that had been made not only reflected credit on the farmers themselves, but also on the efforts of the Department cf Agriculture, which had never ceased in its efforts to better conditions. He felt that co-operation was absolutely necessary, and stated that the Department was very much in favor of its promotion. A plea was made by the Minister for economy in all things pertaining to the operation of the industry. Better results could be obtained in a financial way by not paying so much attention to the packing and cutting down expenses in that direction. He advocated the growing of other produce besides'fruit on fruit farms, and the others. He reported- that thtv' movement was making substantial progress in the Okanagan, and was gradually making for; better cohdit- ionsthroughbut the province. He paid- tribute to the department of agriculture, the Deputy Minister and Canadian Pacific Railway, all of whom had rendered very great assistance in the various ways towards promoting the co-operative scheme. At present, he did not think . it practicable for the, producers to act as their own, salesmen, but it. should be quite possible to eliminate the profits of the wholesalers and jobbers by sending goods direct to the retailers. Causes of Depression Mr. Robertson cited two reasons' which he accounted for the depression in the fruit growing industry last year from a financial view point. First of all, of course, the war and its susequont uncertain financial conditions had nat.urally been, detrimental. The second cause wr.s the prevalence of reports during the summer that large'crops were being harvested everywhere, and that the. prices would consequently be very low. The. United States lately had' been very succcessful with its apple business. The reason for this was simply because the farmers on the other sids of the line were enterprising and had used better business methods in marketing their produce. Columbia fruit, however, was vastly superior to American, and if similar methods to those employed in the United States were adopted in British Columbia there should be little difficulty in checking all competition. As to the results gained by the United Growers, Mr. Robertson said that the cost of various commodities such as box material, had been considerably reduced and that not a single official complaint had been received from consumers in regard to the goods supplied in speaking of the -likelihood of more trade being carried on with the Antipodes, he mentioned the fact that British Columbia apples had proved themselves trade in fruit could be developed with the United Kingdom by shipping through the Panama Canal. Efforts were being made to secure a higher rate of .taxation on fruit coming from the United States, which would naturally tend to check all competition coming from that quarter.
