Break his bank account! Break him in spirit, and in body, so that he will make a servile servant or slave! Any man who follows the occupation of Milling tliC'Soil should be made to work- good and hard for his' mney, and he should never have too much money at that! One would almost suppost that the above' are the mottos of some of those who handle the farm produce of this province: the mottos of some of those who deal with the farmer. We see on all sides men on the soil who work hard, plan ahead, and do everything it is possible to produce '���������-produce that which is absolutely necessary to our very existence���������food. We see some young men go on lo the land ���������land covered with frees, or possibly stumps. To make this land productive he plans and works ���������mostly' works, and in time he hns cleared a small tract of - land that prduces. In the meantime he has to live.\" He has probably to keep his family and educate them for their life work (they seldom in this province follow father's footsteps' on the farm). Tn disposing of his produce one would almost suppose that those who are responsible.for the manipulation of the markets' had for their object the unsympathetic spirit expressed in the first paragraph of this article���������Break the farmer and t' e fruit grower, etc. 'We have a beautiful district throughout the Fraser Valley., The land is rich and fertile���������will produce almost anything that the climate is suited to���������and produce it ������o that with proper transportation when wi it is placed on the market it compare favorably with that from other districts.. But what assistance does the man on the soil get in order that he may make his' business a successful one? This year it is high priced sugar, which is a detriment to the marketing conditions. It.works hoth ways. It hits' the consumer and the producer���������the producer the . harder, because he is depending upon the soil for his living. But then if it Avere not high priced sugar it might be something else. A few years ago when there was a very large crop of potatoes, foreign potatoes' ��������� were brought in to break the market, presumably, and to make it worse, or appear worse, these potatoes passed in train \"load lots right through the very districts' where there was the large crop. We call that rubbing it in. We might write volumes along the above line, but we will not. We ju,--.*, want to call attention to the present day conditions and to the fact that something should be_ done to assist the food producer: A trip through the Fraser Valley this' year shows that there is. still an abundance of land that is not tilled, that same trip also suggests the question, What inducements are being offered to young men to go on the land True we have a good department of agriculture in this province, with a man at the head who has' undoubtedly the interests of the farmer at heart, but at the same time not enough is being done to attract men on the farm. The scheme of dyking the Sumas is a most laudable one, and will pay for its expenditure we all trust, but -why not carry out a large scheme of all-round assistance for the man already on the soil? True much is being done in other ways. He is getting better roads. He is many helpful suggestions in lite ���������work. He is getting some assistance in his marketing on the prairies. This last winter excellent advice was given along co-operative lines. But part co-operation appears to be bringing about a worse state of affairs than no co-operation at all, and it would appear that very drastic steps must be taken to establish a system so that men will feel that to till the soil is an attractive one, as well as a good profitable business to follow. law ami order. One man takes a, ���������different view of how the law should be en forced ���������than does another. There are always two sides to a case, and two methods of securing ' the same object, and that object should always be the most British route���������not Russian methods. An observance of the methods n- dopted in carrying out the laws of this province in some of our small towns of the Eraser Valley would lead one to believe that not , every man who applies for. service on the police force is capable and worthy of filling the position. One mail will come into the town and create rod- peel for laws that are to be.enforced, while another will carry out his duties, seemingly,, and in so doing make the people antagonistic hoth to him and law and order. If the laws of any part of the British Phnpire a?u not carried out judiciously it brings about a state of affairs that no Britisher wants to. see. As we take it our laws' are made so that in Iho enforcing of them there is maintained the true British . respoot for la viand order. To the' south of us we find those who do not respect the law. We do not want, that' state- of affairs in B. C, or in.the Eraser Valley. ouor CONDITIONS THKOUG'HOUT. DOMINION General With gen era.

There has continued to be amplo moisture and grains are making rapid growth, the only drawback being damage by hail in Southern Alberta. In Manitoba some, of the wheat is already .heading bin. Throughout Ontario a good all round crop is expected. In Quebec and Maritime Provinces the crops are doing well. Details follow: Vraii'ic. Provinces Ample moisture and good growing weather, serious' hail damage confined to Southern Alberta. Edmonton District: Prospects continue favourable. Rains have been general; no damage from hail. Calgary District: Abundant moisture, a hail storm- during week-end in Okotoks and High River district caused considerable damage, otherwise conditions continue good. Lethbridge District. North to High River and South to liaymond there has been heavy hail damage; elsewhere conditions are good. Saskatoon District: Crop conditions very promising. Ample moisture all grains, advanced. No material damage of any kind reported. Hay crop good. Regina District: Conditions favourable; crops making healthy progress. Heavy general rains have insured ample moisture for next two or three weeks; slight damage from hail in few districts. Hay and pasture good. Winnipeg District: Conditions continue favourable. Ample moisture followed by cool weather. Wheat is in shot blade practically all points and is headed out in some districts; coarse grains fair. No damage from fros'f'or hail. Pasture and hay are good. Province of Quebec Oats have improved somewhat of late; reports on hay prospects vary considerably, but on the whole an average crop is expected. Pastures remain in good condition. The late season has kept crops back and in getting i general they are not in such good condition as this time last year.

The fcysferu of standardizing canned fruits and vegfables is 'explained in the May-June number of tho Agricultural Gazette by C. S. McGilli- vray, Uie Chief Canning Inspector of (.he Department of Agriculture 'at Ottawa. The four legal standards of quality for fruits' and ,. veketables are- \"Fancy Quality,\" \"Choice Quality,\" \"Standard Quality,\" and \"Second Quality.\" ln addition to general standards for vegetables, specific grades have been established for canned peas.1 Those, are as follows: Si/.os No. I. Size No.\"2, Size No. 3 and Size No. ���������!. The size is determined by 'tin- opening in the sieve through which the green peas will pass. Canned fruits are graded for .quality and syrup. In \"grading for syrup, the terms \"Heavy Syrup,\" Light Syrup,\" and \"Without Syrup\" arc employed. If the packer so desires, he may substitute the words \"Pack- in Syrup ....per . 1.\" In the case of fruit, it must indicate the qualify of the art.iclc^ as well as the consistency of the syrup so ��������� far as sugar is concerned, thus \"Fancy Quality���������Heavy Syrup.\" The declaration of net weight on certain sizes of containers is not required, as these sizes have been standardized. These sizes are known as ���������Size' l's, 1 1-2's, 2's, 2 1-2's, 3's and. 1.0's. The minimum net weight of both liquid and solids as packed is defined for each of these sizes.

It has always been thus and the particular council is in this respect no different than many other bodies'that enact laws or bylaws. Not enough care is made in enacting laws or by-laws, even if the makers are aware of the fact that the people are with them in will and spirit, as they usually are. On the books of almost all the councils of the Fraser Valley and shall we say some of the larger lawmakers there are enacted laws that are never enforced. It has often been remarked that the laws of this province should be cancelled and started over again, but then we suppose that the same thing would happen a- gain. It takes a wise man to enforce the law in almost any instance. This is particularly seen throughout the province where men are sent to have out the Province and have stimulat ed growth wonderfully. Conditions generally show satisfactory .prospects for a.good.'all round crop. Hay a big crop and cutting well unde/ way. Clover excellent. Fall wheat is filling well and beginning to ripen. Indications are for a good crop. Har- ley good crop. Peas good. Corn a little backward but progressing rapidly. Weather conditions' ideal fov root crop. Spring wheat and rye acreage small; both crops satisfactory. Fruit prospects fair with exception of raspberries, which arc below a- verage. Pasturage abundant. Maritime Provinces Season has been dry and backward but recent warm rains have greatly improved the situation. All crops are now progressing favourably. Present indications point to a large apple crop. Province of lls-itish Columbia All crops are doing'well, under favourable weather conditions. A good crop of hay is being cut. Grain promises to he above average, but root crops below normal. Apples' have set heavily in the Okanagan Valley. Cherries have been ' dropping and will bo below average, berry yield was below the market, poor. Pasturage is in good condition. The grasshopper menace is past. 1 LANGbEY PRAIRIE, July 9.��������� His Honor Judge Howay of New Westminster has been invited to address the next regular meeting of the Langley Board of Trade, which will be held in Langley Prairie on the evening of Thursday, July 19. The subject to be taken up by Judge Howay, who is a member of the Historic Sites Board of Canada, is the restoration of the old Hudsons's Bay fort on the Fraser River in the municipality, in which project the local board is greatly interested. For a number of years, the historic old building has been sadly neglected, having been lately used as a stable, and at present it is in a state of disrepair. However, with little work it can bo repaired, thus saving for future generations' one of the earliest landmarks of the province. At the forthcoming meeting of the board, it is likely that efforts will be made to formulate some scheme for purchasing the site on which\" the Fort is located, and when once title to the property is obtained, it is understood that the Historic Sites Board will undertake to repair the building. The property itself' commands a magnificient view of the surrounding district and the Fraser River and would make an ideal site for a permanent park. Other residents of the municipality are also taking the matter up and'a committee has been appointed to communicate with the heirs of the Mavis' Estate, of which the land is a part, and endeavor to find out for what price it can be obtained. This committee is working to secure this required information, and it is likely that a further public meeting will also be called in the near future. Reports are being circulated .that an offer to purchase the property has already been rocelved from private sources. ���������Columbian.

Martyn voted against the resolution, affirming that it was not a council hut a provincial government matter. Coun-. . Watt declined to vote. Councillor. Brooks, Blois and Hilder voted for the resolution. The decision followed a speech from Mr. Hal Menzie on behalf of the objectors to the store establishment.

Qet Shilph, at {Jyour druggists, 30c, 60c and'$1.20.e One of our readers living at the coast, who is interested in co-operative marketing and in . this district bOiids us the following article taken from the Kiwanis Magazine, which asks a question we would-all like to see solved: The trials and tribulations of the period of inflation have' puL.nien to thinking who are developing more .constructive work than ever before, so it comas to us at last' that the value ill* our agricultural products stands out far ahead of anything else; that forty per cent, of our population lives on farms; that upon their prosperity depends largely tho welfare of our city dwellers and.we ask. ourselves the question, what have we done in the past to ass.sf our Iariuing communities? Isn't it a fact that we' must plctd guilty to having done very huie and admit-that the cities have been satisfied to permit the farmer to help support them? It is true that our United States Government has estaul.thud experimental farms and that the Department of Agriculture cooperates in many ways. We have in Texas our ytat.e Extension Divisions which endeavors to bring about the use of better seed and better, live-stock, deal in plant diseases and control measures and assist generally in an educational way, just as' our railroads have agricultural agents and demonstration trains and our Chambers of Commerce try to train the younger generation pn the farms with Boy and Girl Clubs, Home Economics Clubs and other efforts. All this is very helpful and of material assistance in helping the farmer to start off properly, but what are we doing to keep the boy on the farm, to make an hour's farm labor worth as much as one hour's city labor, and, to make the returns from farming operations lucrative enough.to start a movement back' to the soil? Why is it .that the condition of our farmer today is certainly far from prosperous? . We have enjoyed a comparatively fair crop and one would think that with the old popular cry of one dollar wheat and twenty-five cent cotton realized our farmers should be prosperous, but it is not so. Statistics show that, taking the value of farm products compared to manufactured products as' one. per hundred cer cent before the war, this value declined during the war to sixty-two per cent and today, notwithstanding the comparatively higher prices of farm products, it is only sixty-seven' per cent. Therefore, the farmer has to spend a bale and a half of cotton today to buy the same thing that he could buy for a bale of cotton before the war. What is necessary to make the buying power of farm products one hundred per cent of manufactured I products and thereby 'give him an 'even break? The manufacturers are I thoroughly organized. They watch production���������they market systematically and by establishing high standards', create satisfactory consumption. The farmer can do likewise, for the answer has been found and this answer is \"cooperative marketing.\" Have you ever traveled through I the States of California, Washington, Oregon or the agricultural portion of Colorado? If you have, you will agree with me that the change In the farming communities of these states' during the past few years is nothing less than phenomenal. As we travel along their splendid roads, through miles of fields and orchards, well kept and cultivated, as we see their splendid homes and farms,\" as we go through their communities and see their new, modern school houses, beautiful churches and -parks, we wonder what has happened. We know they did not always enjoy this prosperity' for, just a few years ago they were just as badly off and may be worse than we were. This wonderful change has been brought a- bout within a very short time by Cooperative Marketing and nothing else, I am in the wholesale grocery business and it was not so very long ago that I was told \"the Peach Growers Association of California have allotted a certain amount of their e- vaporated peaches to be sold at such and such price; we advise you to contract at this figure because as soon as this allotment is sold the price will be advanced.\" My answer was: \"Here is a bunch of farmers creating the biggest kind of a\" trust, taking advantage of the fact that farmers are exempt from the pro vision of the Anti-trust Laws of our country, and we should not stand for it.'\" Since then I have changed my mind and I hope the time will soon be at hand when our farmers can handle their products in the same manner as those men do. Only last year I was talking to a gentleman in Fresno, California, a merchant and banker, who told me that when Cooperative Marketing was first started he refused to give credit to the farmer who signed the agreement, but he soon found out he was wrong. Now the town closes up ���������on certain days so that everybody can go and assist in getting the farmers to sign up and, today, the one who does hot sign is more apt to be refused credit. This' idea was first advocated by a young attorney in California' Today this young genius is general counsel for some finy Cooperative Marketing AsscciwtJOhs Llnougliout United States, .all of them organized according, to proper business principles and covering very many far,m-products'. They arc organized jus,t like merchants and maufaccurers are. They recognise the law of supply and demand and are trying-to guard against surplus ruining, markets. They improve the' quality and standard of their, products and of their packages; they help to create a de������ maud for their output by national advertising. They are not holding organizations', but endeavor to guard against dumping and to establisn a proper distributing system throughout the year on a supply and demand basis. . ' ' Some efforts have been made in this direction in other section's.' We have the Wheat Growers' Association in West Texas and the Rice Growers' Association in South Texas; and while the latter has made good progress, it has neyer been successful or otherwise rice would not be selling today at ruinous prices. ' In tho Rio Grande section, we have'a. Fruit Growers' Association, which has done considerable good, but which lack of transportation . facilities has hampered materially. We have a Peach Growers-Association and, recently, you have noticed that our onion , farmers in the South'west have banded together in an effort, to market jointly. We. all know what tragedy onion- growing has been, and we hope this. move-, ment will be successful' hut, after' all, our real money crop is cotton and there the task is a big one but, by no means, an impossible one. -It is mainly lack of understanding that has kept the business \"man and the professional man from .doing' his share in assisting Cooperative Marketing. In 1920, the first effort at Cooperative Marketing was made. Today associations are existing . in Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee. In 1920 15 0,-; 000 farmers have been signed:up with an approximate output of three million bales. Do not understand me to say, that these Associations will handle three million bales of cotton this year, for I do hot think they will reach this amount, but they have already obtained sufficient standing to make their influence felt in the cotton market and-to help to stabilize it. Their method of standard grading and classification and their ability to sell large lots' of .equal running grades has attracted the attention of large buyers and-the Dallas office of the American Cotton Growers Exchange the other day had one order for fifty thousand bales from Japan. The War Finance Corporation has assisted them with large advances', the Texas Farm Bureau Cotton Association alone receiving a credit of nine million dollars for the purpose of handling Texas, co.tton.. The time has passed when we .want to insist on the farmer turning loose his cotton as' soon as he .gets it so we can collect. As much as 1- like .to collect what we have on our books,- 1 would much rather inconvenience myself some and let the farmer handle his cotton through this Association, thereby obtaining a reasonable advance against his' warehouse receipt, with which he can pay the larger part of what he owes and then wait and have his crop, together with the crop of other farmers, marketed gradually throughout the season, in this way stabilizing .the market. The more thoroughly this is worked out and the wider the support that is given to this movement, the less will be the hardship on any one of us and the greater will be the results; but it needs the combined effort of all, bankers and merchants.- There is no question of the .economic soundness of Cooperative\" .Marketing. The strongest bankers in the United States have approved of it. Leaders of finance like Bernard Baruch, Theo tl. Price, Otto H. Kahn and countless others are advocating it. It has the approval of the Secretary of Agriculture and the President of the United States, and if you hear any one talk against it, you may rest assured he either puts a personal, selfish interest ahead of community welfare or does ��������� not know what he is talking about. Let us get behind the farmer throughout this country and assist him in establishing sound and safe Cooperative Marketing Associations for his various products, and it will' not be very long until we shall be able to show that farming is not only a healthful and ideal way of living, but also equally as remunerative as occupations in the city, and with the many inducements held out to the farmer today, good roads, automobiles, telephone, radio, artificial light and other conveniences, farming^ will become as attractive as it should be, provided it can be made to pay and we shall establish the real basis for their prosperity as well as for our own. It may look to you like a big job but it is a real job. It may look like a long lane, but it always takes one to reach a goal worth while. Here is a real constructive work. Kiwanians, WE BUILD. Week in Calgary This week's weather has been a repetition of the past few weeks. Saskatchewan has had many downpours of rain, resulting in damage to the country roads, thereby limit Institutes Make Steady Progress berries ing the distribution of outside points. A cloudburst near Calgary caused a washout on the main line seven miles ,in length. A car of strawberries from the lower mainland had to be re-routed through the Cro.ws Nest; arriving a day late. The holiday on Monday, further upset the calculations of the fruit men, who have been guessing against weather, holidays and delays in transit. Prices on berries had to be.dropped, at several points, owing to arrivals being soft. The strawberry distribution on the prairies from B. C. during this year will establish a new record. Raspberries will commence to arrive in carlots about the beginning of next week. Bing cherries are coming in from B. C. and-displacing Washington offerings. . Mostly every shipment of strawberries this season showed the result of rain or sunscald. On the average berries were larger and the pack better than in other years.

The government contributed $2516.50 in mem-, bership allowances to them and $606 in flower show grants, a total, of $3172.50. In addition the. government paid the expenses of one delegate ,from each institute to the annual district institute conferences,. amounting to $1663.75. Salmon Arm leads with the institute showing greatest cash receipt, which were $2717.78. Expenditures were $2360.91. This institute has been bending all its energies towards building a hall. Vernon is second with receipts of $25 38.12, expenditures $2305.37. This institue has been responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the public health nurse in the' district which service has now been extended to the outside. Point Grey is third with receipts of $179,6.42, expenditures ' of $1,- 625.84. This institute has built a hall. Nelson is fourth with receipts of $1,436.20 and expenditures of $1,- 189.96. \"Although Nelson ranks fourth in respect to cash, the premier place is theirs by virtue of unselfishness,\" Mrs. McLachlan says. \"This institute made a grant of $2 50 towards the support of a public health nurse in the district along the lakes', receiving no direct benefit other than 'well done, thou faithful servant.' \" Rutland is fifth with receipts of $1,167.01, expenditures $572.52. This institute, though small and suffering from bad market conditions, has hopes of building.a hall. Victoria comes sixth with cash recipts of $1152.11 and expenditures of $1090.93. \"Victoria has established the organization beyond peradventure of a doubt,\" Mrs. McLachlan says: \"They have comfortable rooms and are at home to the country districts every afternoon. The institute movement has never been so prosperous as at the present; the vision is' widening new fields' are opening up' and lines of work undreamed of at their inception are being undertaken.\" WINNIPEG SEATTLE TELEGRAM SEATTLE, July 6.���������Strawberries are well cleaned up, but loganberries are in excessive supply, general jobbing price $1.00 to $1.50 per\" crate; such heavy carry over from 1922 pack that canners are buying the bulk of the crop. Salem district berries to be left on the bushes. Walla Walla and Kennewick shipments forcing California new potatoes out of the markets. First Washington pears arriving. AN EXPLANATION Under the heading of \"Food for Thought\" in bulletin No. 2, we placed the jobbers profit at 500. This is substantially correct, but some of the jobbers have called attention to the amount as'- \"misleading\" because their risks are great on berries, and when the back claims and credits given are finished with, their profits are less than the amount stipulated. Another point that has been disputed is the express and icing charges, etc. We find that the average charge for express and icing is 60 cents, but, berries from Vancouver Island have1 an additional freight to pay which places this amount at 70 cents. We make these explanations in fairness to the jobber and carrier. So far as the grower is .concerned these explanations do not improve ,'his position, and the article was intended to draw public attention to where the grower stands, in hope that the industry might be stabilized by a more sympathetic effort on the part of those who participate in the deal. Neglect of Civic Duty The. people who wonder what's wrong with things in general can read where 25 ratepayers out of 5,- 000 turned out to vote on a school bylaw and they need not do much more wondering.���������Winnipeg Free Press. Strawberries, $3.00; Cher- potatoes, $5.00 WINNIPEG,, July 6.���������Business this past week on the Winnipeg market has been somewhat better as you will note by list of car receipts. B. G. berries which were raised fifty cents' in price a week ago have held' to a three dollar price very well since. The jobbers attempted to raise it another quarter I understand but were unable to sell at that price. Friday and Saturday some odds and ends of cars' were cleaned up around two and a half. A car of Cherries containing Black Tartarians and yellow Spanish arrived in poor condition and while they are trying to get $3.00 per. crate for them I think that most of them will probably have to be jobbed. The following are the car receipts since my last letter: British Columbia: 18 strawberries', 1 cherries, 2 lettuce.

No Action on Timber VICTORIA, July 9.-���������Premier Oliver stated on Saturday that he had informed Vancouver business men that the government could take no action regarding the preservation of the green timber- on the Pacific Highway. He could see no justification of an expenditure of several hundred thousand dollars, especially when, in his opinion, it would be impossible to protect a arrow strip of timber of such large size. The King-Farris Lumber Company placed a high figure on the square mile of timber which would have to be purchased, and the gov- makq An ounce of attention is worth a eminent had no authority to \"pound of overhaul. such a purchase. mmmmmMmmm THE ABBOTSFORD I-ust I2TSI Oi'-' JULY <.--:\\KHivATEl> IN Itl-WJTTING MANNER Always on hand Fresh Supplies of: COOKED HAM, CORNED BEEF LUNCHEON LOAF, BOLOGNA SAUSAGE, LIVER SAUSAGE. lion.

In the public schools are laid the principles of Canadian., citizenship. If Roman Catholicism were simply a religion it would ' not be a menace. It is a political organization , that acknowledges a foreign head thus destructive of our ideals. Protestantism is a system of liberty. Roman Catholic church was clinch with -one leader; our religion is one of many churches' with many leaders. Ours a democratic system. In Montreal one million dollars each year goes to the support of Roman Catholic schools. In Ontario half tho money of corporations go 'go to tho support of separate schools. That organization must be met by organization. Wc must say to them,\"hands off British institutions hands' off our public schools, .hi the great question affecting our.educational system we are united' to a man. Bro.

You have a goodly heritage. 1 might say that I have never said a harsh'word* against the Roman Catholics. What do we stand for? In tnt past history and what do you think of the future has it been worth while for our ancestors to, fight these battles. I love the essences of the principles of this order through and through. On this tho 233rd anniversary of tho Battle of the Boyne we stand for a fair deal. Down in Quebec in a settlement, known as' New Carlylc, where-there is one of the oldest -Orange communities in Canada, -'I have often said to the Roman Catholics that they had as much right to march as-we had to inarch as they received as much benefits in political and religious liberties'. The. Orange ideals meant the stopping of special privileges and fair play and a square deal to each, other. Union and truth made the world a dittle better for having in it men who practised these principles. ���������. B'ro. E. Bush of Mission City dealt with church property and'taxation. He stated that seven per cent, of the population of the province, held 51 per cent of the church' property. If we gave the churches free taxation we gave the Roman Catholic church help. He outlined what the Orange Lodges had done regarding church exemption. He made a strong plea for the new Orange Orphanage in New Westminster, which was to cost between $25,- 000 and $30,000. The present one was too small. Abbotsford had done well in the drive for this new orphan- The rest of the province would also do well. The drive would have to be put over this year. ~ He asked that all Orangemen stand by the principles which their forefathers fought for, and in fact the only way to do this' was to join the Orange association. inn mi in i im ii i irwr Ivy r, Not when you donl have lo sland over a hoi fireand bake Bread.
