The interest and profit attached to the meetings of the Farmers' Institute were fully appreciated by those who were present at the session last Saturday evening when Mr. I. M. Stevens read a paper on his experience as a fruit grower. Mr. E. W. Mutch, pres- j ident of the local branch of the, Institute, presided at the meeting. Mr. Stevens, in beginning his paper, said he could keep his hearers a week if he were to tell all his experiences. He would, however, confine himself to those experiences that would be of interest. In selecting land upon which to plant his orchard, he had chosn that which was sheltered from the wind, and he had found that he had done wisely, as the snow lay better and moisture was conserved. He had tried to find out why cultivation produced a better growth and had read a number of books to that end. The books had given numerous reasons, but he thought there were still others. He found that cultivation prevented radiation, and thus the ground was kept warm and growth promoted. Cultivation, therefore, retained heat and moisture. It also prevented the frost from penetrating so deeply in winter. He believed in irrigating as little as possible.. Twice a year should be enough except in bearing orchards, which required more. > Continued clean cultivation eats up the humus, and it was necessary to plant a cover crop to plow under. The humus retained the moisture and nitrates. This year he had planted a cover crop only on his older orchard, but he hoped next year to cover crop all. Early spring, he had found the best time to prune as the cuts were not so apt to dry back. He did not prune in the summer as he believed it prevented root growth. The pyramid form was the method he adopted in pruning. In spraying he had found the lime-sulphur solution the best. He used prepared sprays when reliable. He had not found it necessary to spray his peach trees as the trees were alive with lady bugs, and they attacked the aphis. A lengthy discussion followed Mr. Stevens' paper, the subject of spraying attracting the chief attention. Mr. Mutch believed in home prepared lime-sulphur spray. Mr. Kinney had used the Rex spray and prefered a prepared spray when put up by a reliable firm and was recommended by experts. Mr. Foley-Ben- nett would spray twice this winter for fungus with Bordeaux mixture. Mr. Kinney and Mr. Power had found whale oil soap very effective on peach aphis. Mr. Kinney had to spray his cherry trees three times for black aphis. Mr. Mutch had sprayed his every third day and did not get rid of them then. He had very good success with nico soap. Mr. Orr had found Pendry's spray good. In discussing the mulching of trees, Mr. Mutch said that the mulch should be kept away from the trees and the snow packed close around or the mice would girdle them. The mice would not cross the space. Mr. McKenzie said that tar paper had been sued to keep away mice, but it had injured the trees. Common building paper wrapped around the trunks had proved effective. Commissioner, J. B. Metcalf, Investigates ih Western Provinces. (Continued from last week,) INDEPENDENT HOUSES In addition to the American system of jobbing houses there are a number of independent houses engaged in the fruit trade of the prairie provinces; these are, Macpherson Fruit Co , Wilton Bros., Taylor & Co., Vipond & Co., and Western Fruit Co., and other small houses in Winnipeg; Plunkett & Savage, Macpherson Fruit Co., and Moore & Co., Calgary; Oscar Brown & Co., and Macpherson Fruit Co., Edmonton; Macpherson Fruit Co., Brandon; Macpherson Fruit Co., Regina; Macpherson Fruit Co., Lethbridge; Early & Wilton Co., Saskatoon. These independent houses employ in all about 100 men. In addition we have a host of associations, unions, exchanges and individuals shipping to jobbers and retailers from Ontario and British Columbia. There is one auction mart for fruit in Winnipeg, and very large quantities of fruit have been shipped to it this season, more especially from Ontario. The prices realized, however, can hardly have been satisfactory to the growers. PRICES In the matter of prices, wholesale men generally contend that our prices are too high for them to go in and buy our fruit freely, and that we will have to lower our prices if we would meet American competition. On the otWr hand retailers to whom fruit is shipped direct are quite satisfied, as our prices are less than those charged by the wholesaler to the retailers. METHODS FOR HANDLING There are three methods by which British Columbia fruit may be handled for sale in the markets of the prairie provinces. 1st���Through selling to the present jobbing houses. 2nd���Through selling to the retailers direct, ignoring the jobbers. 3rd���Through establishing our own jobbing houses and selling to the retail trade. This latter method would entail distributing houses with cold storage at various points, and. agents or travellers to solicit business. Further, in order to retain customers throughout the year, it would necessitate the handling by our jobbing houses of early American deciduous fruits and all varieties of citrous fruits. In the event of methods first or second being adopted it would still be highly advisable, if not actually necessary, that agents be maintained to sell and supervise the arrival of the fruit, and report on its condition, and adjust any claims that may arise. LOADING OF CARS There are a few points that should be carefully observed in the loading of all fruit cars, they are: 1. Place most perishable fruit ���pears for example���nearest the ice bunkers; 2. Leave plenty of ventilation along bottom of car and between the rows of crates; 3. Leave abundant space for bracing at centre of car, and see that all braces are strongly secured to prevent slewing of crates when cars are shunted ; 4. Never fill a car more than two-thirds full, as the natural heat rises, and if there is any bad fruit in a car it is sure to be at the top. EXPRESS AND FREIGHT RATES A very general outcry on the part of retailers was made against the new system of "billing weights" of the express com- I pany, as this increases the cost to them of the fruit laid down. This is a matter of importance to smaller growers, who must| ship by express, and also to those ; sections of British Columbia! where the lack of long holding quality in the fruit makes ship-1 ment by express a practical j necessity. It was a generally expressed opinion that small I fruits and peaches would, as a rule, be better if shipped by express, either as car or partial car lots. There is need for increased care by express messengers in the handling of express shipments. Another source of loss to the fruit shippers is the damage done, more especially to small fruits, by being run in large truck loads over very long platforms at transfer stations. Express companies should issue careful instructions as to what trains will carry fruit, and fruit growers should also be careful to deliver fruit to the specified trains only. Shippers complained this season that the express companies, after issuing instructions as to what trains would carry fruit, failed to carry out their part of the bargain, and more than once refused fruit on the specified train, through their agents, on the ground that the passenger service could not be delayed long enough for the fruit to be taken on board. This grievance will be taken up with the express companies, and it is hoped a better understanding may be arrived at for next year. The American shipper enjoys a better rate for shipments from Seattle to Winnipeg than the British Columbia shipper has from Vancouver, or other points, to Winnipeg, the difference being 25 cents per 100 pounds in car lots. The American has a still further advantage in that his minimum weight on which he must pay express is only 15,000 pounds, while the minimum of the British Columbia shipper is 20,000 pounds. It would be impossible to put 20,000 pounds in a car, even if it were at all desirable to do so. With the adjustment of distributing rates from a few points where irregularities exist, the general matter of freight rates from British Columbia is pretty generally satisfactory. Local and Personal Communication To the Editor of The Penticton Press: Owing to a report circulated by some agents that no trees are grown at Kelowna in connection with the Layritz Nurseries, I would like to inform our customers and those expecting to plant out orchards in this vicinity, that this year over 20,000 trees have been grown at Kelowna by me, these all being strictly 1st class, and there is still a quantity of this unsold, of the best commercial varieties, and for the future business, Mr. Layritz, of Victoria, has recently purchased ten acres of the very best land procurable, a short distance out of Kelowna, which will be used entirely and solely for the enlargement of his branch nursery here. This new acquisition is being carefully worked and prepared now for next spring's extensive planting. Yours truly, Albert E. Boyer.

The railway agreement upon which the McBride government is appealing lo the electorate, although falling short in a few re- speets of what was expected, constitute the boldest and most progressive step ever taken by a government in British Columbia. It is gratifying that after the long period of inaction since British Columbia entered the Cana lian Confederation, the province has at last decided C> \ enter upon the march of progress ' vith the other members of the mion. The people of the in- erior of this province have for a luarterof a century been hoping, vaiting, praying, imoloring.and, luring the last few years, elam- iring for railroads. Premier VlcBride has risen to the occasion and has given the province tie best railway policy he could. Granting that that policy may ie defective in some points, it will give British Columbia, i i the fi Canadian Northern, another transcontinental railway that, ��vill send out feeders into every important section of the province; and it will give southern I British Columbia direct com-1 munication between the coast, the Kootenays and Southern Al-1 be 'ta. In fact, in the Midway- NL-ola line it will add practically a lother transprovincial railway ���in 1 shorten the distance across the province to a considerable extent. What does the province give in or.ler to secure these roads'.' To the Cana.lian Northern ii gi.'es virtually nothing. To be mre it guarantees the bonds on that Iiue at four per cent, reck- i isd Jit thirty-five thousand I illars per mile for six hundred miles. No province has ever yet b ian called noon to pay interest' oi roads built by the Canadian j Northern for the simple reason1 that the traffic has always been [ s i!'ie;��nt to p:iy it. The railway company requires this guarantee' merely tb enable it. to raise the' necessary capital in the world's1 money markets to finance its en- terpriae, The province will, un- ler normal conditions, never be called upon to pay a dollar of that guarantee. The Kettle '/alley Railway Co. will receive s -ven hundred and fifty thous- i id dollars as a subsidy for one hundred and fifty miles of road from Penticton to Nicola. For this, that company will build from Midway to Penticton and rom Penticton to Nicola, with a|J probability of an early extension >f a line up the North Fork of the Kettle River, one to Prince- ion and one a direct line from | Greenhouses and Seedhooses-- near Otter Flat over the Hope H Miin Westminster Road, , .., v , w Vancouver, B.

The province must: lave roads and it would pay the government to build them and rive them to the railway companies if il could get them in no other way. What is the difference to the province in general if the Canadian Northern dees parallel the C. P. R. from Kamloops to Hope if it can secure the icst grade that way? it will provide a shorter route than at present exists across the province, and will supply what is FANCY BELTS, BELTING & NECKWEAR See our nice stock of fancy collars.

Following the completion of the Canadian Northern to the coast, . will undoubtedly, come a branch line from Kamloops to Vernon, i which, with boats on Okanagan Lake, will give competition to ! this valley. \ This is no time for people to 'stand back and grumble. We :t have been grumbling long enough ; over lack of transportation facilities, shall we take what is offered and enjoy prosperity, or shall we reject it and be satisfied with things as they have been? The government is appealing to the country on the railway agreements. If the government | |is defeated, it will appear that the people do not want the railways and they will not be built. It would, therefore, we believe, be the duty of every elector to lay party aside and vote for the government that will give us railways and progress. There should not be a dissenting vote cast, at this point in particular, and Hon. Price Ellison, in the Okanagan, and L. W. Shatford, in the Similkameen, should be returned with increased majorities. .

She tume ' from the gate to go Into the house, heard Eugene's voice at the door and paused. He wus saying good night to Mamie. "And please sny 'nil revolr' to Miss labor for me." he added, peering out under his hand. "I don't know where she can have gone." "Probably she came In and went to her room." snid Mamie.

Then he cnine doivn the steps and went slowly toward the gate, looking about him into the darkness as if searching for something. But Ariel had tied away, from the path of light that led from the open door. She skimmed noiselessly across the lawn and paused at the side of tlie house, leaning against the veranda, where, on a night long past, a boy had hid nnd a girl had wept. A small creaking sound fell upon her enr, nnd she made out an ungainly figure ap iroaclnng. wheeling something of co ���ions shape. "Is lhat you. Sam?" she said. Mr. .Warden stopped close by.

Ariel was not the only one who climbed the dingy stairs that day and rend the penciled script upon Joe's door: "Will not return uutil evening. .1. Louden." Many others came, all exceedingly unlike the Hist visitor. Some were quick and watchful, dodging into the narrow entrance furtively: some smiled contemptuously as long as they were in view of the street, drooping wanly as they reached the stairs; some were brazen and amused, and some were tlilu and troubled. Not all of them rend the message, for not all could read, but all looked curiously through the half opened door at tho many roses which lifted their heads delicately from n water pitcher ou Joe's desk to scent that dusty place with their cool brent)). Most of these clients after a grunt of disappointment turned and went away. thou-h there were a few. either llliable to read the message or so press- ���d by anxiety that they disregarded it, who entered the room and sat down to wait for the absentee.

But when evening came and the dual gray if twilight had vanished from the window panes all had gone except oue, a woman who sat patiently, her eyes opon the door nnd her hands folded iu ier lap. until the footsteps of the lust f the others to dopart had censed lo sound upon the pavement below. Then With n wordh'ss exclamation she sprang lo her feet, pulled the window shade carefully down lo the sill aud en for thnt). but almost Immediately she came In and seated herself near Ihe desk, acknowledging the other's presence by a slight Inclination of the head. This grave courtesy caused a strong, deep (lush to spread itself under the rouge which unevenly covered the woman's cheeks as sbe bowed elaborately iu return. Then furtively, during a protracted silence, she took stock of the new comer from the tip of her white suede shoes to the lilmy lace aud pink roses upon her wide white hat, and the sidelong gaze lingered mnrvel- ingly upon the quiet, delicate hands, slender and finely expressive, in tbelr white gloves. Her own hands, unlike the lady's, began to fidget confusedly, and, the silence continuing, she coughed several times to effect tho preface required by her sense of fitness before she felt it proper to observe, with a polite titter: "Mr. Louden seems to be a good while cotnin'." "Have you been waiting very loug?" asked the lady. "Ever since 0 o'clock!" "Yes." suid the other, "that Is very loug." "Yes. ma'am. It cert'nly is." The ice thus broken, she felt free to use her eyes more directly aud, after a loug, frank stare, exclaimed: "Why. you must be Miss Ariel Tabor, ain't you?"

Mr. Kdinundsnn, Sunny Glen Ranch, Hroctor. U. C, tindur date Oct. 9, saya : Wc have planted 2000 treeii and they are all Stune & Wellington, and we arc so well pleased with their treea that we have ordered 2000 more for thin fall delivery. It has always been our belief that it was better to plant out trees from a more severe climate than our own, and last winter's experience has icreatly strengthened that belief. Not one inch of wood was damaged last winter in the trees we had out at that time. We have only about CO treea that are bearing and they arc only 4 years planted, but they are all true to name. Wc have never had any fear but that Stone & Wellington would be above suspicion or we would not plant their treea to the extent we art- doing. Why not plant Canadian-grown stock? Guaranteed true to name and healthy. Phone or write me. S. J. KINNEY, Penticton, B. C. Still Unsold FROM LAYRITZ NURSERIES, Victoria and Kelowna.

Turner, with his wife and family, have removed to Summerland. It is probable that the move will not be at all permanent and we may hope for his return in the early spring. Jno.

A new oil shed has been added to the equipment of the Naramata Supply Co. and will prove a decided convenience. The nucleus of what we expect will develop into a promising band has taken form here during the last few weeks. Amongst those who seem to be taking an interest in the organization are: A. H. Mulford, T. Kenyon, W. Nuttall, H. Hill, R. Booth, H. Robertson, H. Rounds and others.
