'������������������*������������������?,> The city of Vancouver-is-a���������market for'42 per cent of all the milk of the Association, which means about 9 9 ��������� per cent of all the milk produced in the Fraser Valley. There is therefore a considerable amount of milk to be disposed of elsewhere. And until recently the large factory at Chilliwack made cheese for the farmers. Recently the management of the factory began to dictate to the milkmen in such a manner as to be displeasing to them, and now the factory is reported closed, and according to reports is liable to be closed for a Tery long time.' With the beginning of this month a large quantity of milk will bo taken per auto across the line and delivered at Everson, fresh milk and cream being allowed across the line free of duty, only a few. preliminaries being necessary to go through. As Matsqui is the most conveniently situated for this purpose the exported milk will be taken from'there. Mr. W. C. Arnett, a prominent farmer of Matsqui has the contract and has an auto truck for that purpose. Think what this means to the milk men of the Valley to bo able to control the milk situation in the TO WHOM THIS CAP FITS .Which Goes to Show That The Growers Should Have an Organization To Look After their Business We have complaints in onr hands from shippers on consignment that they cannot get their returns promptly from some dealers \"and in extreme cases they cannot even get a reply to their letters. We wish to call at- ention to this unbusinesslike practice and to emphasize the fact that growers are not bankers, nor have they credit at tho bank. Shippers on consignment are mostly new beginners, and are in need of ready money. Wo beg to offer the guilty ones advice. Do not make the growers your financial agent. Make your returns within o week of receipt of perishable fruits, and others in accordance. This Mill make.the work of the fruit growers easier. When shippers of truit to the prairies sent poor stuff poorly packed in poor containers, we did not overlook pointing out their faults, and this was due partly in the interest of the receiver, ill order to make his selling easier.

SUMAS SCHOOL BOARD The Sumas school .board meeting on Saturday had to solve the problem of obtaining firewood for their schools for the winter.

Brownall will be asked to cut wood for the Whatcom road and Mussolwhitc schools with the sawing outfit. Kilgard school is in bad repair, but as it is a \"temporary school\" the property of the Clay works,there is a nice point to decide on who should bear the responsibility.

The secretary is therefore ordered to call for tenders at once for the position. EQUAL SUGAR .DISTRIBUTION instead of its.being allowed to go to a market which cannot consume it, opens up a new market with unlimited possibilities. What would it mean in dollars and cents to the fruit growers of Mission and Hatzic if they had the fruit situation so under control that nothing would be allowed to go to waste. As an instance of this waste refer to our article in last issue on plums shipped to a firm in Vancouver, and a bill sent back to the grower asking to pay express as the plums were not marketable���������so said the- commisison merchant. Study the matter over Mr. Grower and while the organizing is good this winter bind yourself down solidly. SIZE OF .MERRY 'll.OX NEXT YEAR. British Columbia berry shippors have been notified of a Dominion Government order that on and after June 1, 3 910. but one size cL' berry boxes will be recognized. In the past there have been three distinct sizes and shapes in use, and this has made, it hard on the users of the larger sizes, because it was found that the public generally preferred to buy the cheapest box, whether it ���������contained a lesser amount of berries or not. This move has met with the general approval of the dealers and shippers as well, besides having the approval of the manufacturers and the Canadaian War Board.���������Prairie Markets Bulletin. shall advertiser do in the face of tho war situation when he finds it difficult to fill orders? First of all. it should be remembered that the foundation purpose of judicious advertising is to fix indelibly tho trade marl- in the public's mind. A let-up in that campaign must be fatal to any product. So, we find Mr. George FI. Charls, vice-president of tho American Rolling Mill Company, declaring the company's purpose to continue its newspaper advertising, although for two and a half years it had been unable to supply the demand for its product. \"We are building,\" said he \"a permanent business edifice, and some day we would have to spend millions of dollars buying back the business and good-will of our clients if they are forsaken in this-emergency.\" Unless newspaper advertising is kept up without a break the advertiser loses the results of the initial effort. Here is a warning to the advertiser who neglects the dull season in summer. When advertisements are fewest is the very, t'rue a message to the public will get the most attention. It is good \"psychology\" to push the advertisement of a winter product in summer and of a summer product in winter.���������Leslie's The sugar situation iu Saskatchewan and Alberta is apparently easier as we have received only one report cf shortage this week. We have taken'this matter up in a very earnest manner with, the Food O-mtrol Board in Vam-ouvcr and th<-y hv-e lclped us. 'i hoy half believe! that tho situation was overdrawn a'id that fruit men were trying to get the long end of the sugar available We would recommend to doubting Thomases that one of their number take a trip to the wholesale fruit deal era on the prairie, read their correspondence and wires on the matter, and we arc sure that a real conversion from the doubtful stage to full belief that a serious situation had really existed. Of all the embargoes that have been sprung on the fruit trade, both export and import, tlie unequal sugar distribution and misunderstood restrictions have been most serious Lo the B. C. fruit growers.���������Prairie Market Bulletin. GRANT OX IIIS CIRCTLATSON Prairie Markets Commissioner, J. A.

The Ladies home of Mrs. Miss Seath King. Mr. Arthur Cox and Miss Purver of Claburn were married before Mr. Cox joined up. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd donated about 7 5 books for the school library; one set of 30 volumes. The school has $50 on hand towards a library from their concert last year and intend to have another concert this year. It is now reported that Kenneth Huggard died of gunshot wounds. He had been in Lhe -base hospital some days and hopes were held of his recovery. Kenneth Avas well known and well liked on Sumas Prairie, where his parent are assured of much sympathy. Mr. Boyd received word that his son milliard has been seriously wounded. A fine meeting of the W. C. T. U. was held at the homo of Mrs. Karris on Tuesday afternoon. The presid- otir.

It 1 was voted to send $5.00 to the sup- , pot of the B. C. representative of the ! W. C. T. U. with the soldiers at the front and also decided to support the cocoa fund for the soldiers. Mrs. Farris served dainty refreshments. The next meeting will be hold at Ihe home of Mrs. Dwight Kucker. At_thc Red Cross meeting laal Friday afternoon along with the sewing and tea, officers were appointed for the coming year. After regrettable resignation of Mrs. Boyd was accepted Mrs. Robert Thomas was elected president for the- ensuing year in Mrs. Boyd's place. Mr. P. R. Peele was elected treasurer again, and Mrs. .Parton continues to act as secretary which <>he has done very elfieienfl*\" $6.50 was taken for the afternoon. Mr. Boyd has sold his property here and they expect to leave town next week. They will be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Smith for a few days. .,'YVydlewood has had a great many enjoyable gatherings in the past eight years. Mrs. Boyd will be missed very much in the W. C. T. U., Red Cross and W. A. and the Anglican S. S., as well as her hospitality. During the week ending September 28th fruit and vegetables have moved freely during the whole of the week. Prices remain firm. .Apples:Shipments from Okanagan and ,Keremoes have been coming in freely. The grade and pack is of the best and the color is exceptionally-good on tho Macintosh Reds. The- imported apples are confined to one firm. ' - , Peaches: The demand is good but Lhe supply is short. Tomatoes: The supply is keeping up with the demand. In some shipments we find over-ripe tomatoes. These should not be put in as they leak and spoil and the balance of the box. _ 0 One grower shipped us a crate of tomatoes on Sept. 5th and it arrived here on the 6th inst. He stated that this was a new variety he had originated and asked for our opinio.i. After a careful study of these for the past four weeks, we believe that in this tomato he has a little \"bonanza\". The tomato was ripo when received. Small portions were used on- the table during the four weeks at different.intervals in order to test its keeping qualities. Today there arc nine tomatoes left and they are in every respect perfect aud if they can be kept as such there is no doubt in our'minds but what this variety will bo a great boon to the tomato industry of British Columbia. L^otatoes: The evaporators arc buying in moderate quantities. Todays price is $23.50 sacks returned, or $27.00 sacks included. We are advised that no contracts of any size have as yet been let for either straight potatoes' or Julienne and. thus it remains to' be\" found out whether or not the evaporators will require any great quantities. Very few cars of Interior potatoes have been contracted for. From information we have been able to gather ti would appear that the interior stock may yet command the $3f> per ton price at.shipping point before digging is very far advanced. Wo have been advised that twenty-eight cars of potoatoes have been sold for ������28.00 per ton and four cars at $31, while it is impossible today to get con firmation of $31 price at Ashcrol't. Lillooet has sold some thirty cars at prices of ������28 and $30 per ton shipping point. There is every indication at present of the potato prices strengthening and the above prices are proof aheaa but we are hoping for a market price that will warrant a good large production next year. Prices aro ruling strong all over North America. Greeley, Colo., is quoted at $1.S0 per cwt, in wagons at track-side. LECTURE A SUCCESS The lecture and concert given in the Alexandria hall last Friday night under Lhe auspices of the Presbyterian Ladies Aid was quite a success. The hall was comfortably full. Row Air. Robertson by request gave his lecture \"My Rambles through Scotland\", which was very much appreciated. Prof. P. O. Gates of Sumas sang a song. There were other enjoyable selections by Mrs. Bedlow, Mrs. John McCallum, Mrs. Groat and .Mr. Martin; instrumental selections by the Misses Steede. .Mrs. McGowan Mrs. lied low and a violin solo by Hector Tapp, Huntingdon. The ladies were fortunate to have such a fine evening for their entertainment. RAIN PUTS FIRES OUT The girls of Mission City will give a grand masquerade ball in the skating rink on Hallowe'en. More particulars later. The rain on Sunday night was very welcome to those having fires near them and particularly to those thirty men of the Abbotsford Timber Company who had been fire fighting since the Friday before. On the front of a mile or more they had fought back the liames, working in a dense smoke to save the many hundred acres of splendid timber next the boundary line that has not had an axe in it before. Fortunately there is loss only in one corner.
