I JO W> Farmers 1912 District Exhibits for Provincial Fall Fair Market Conditions on the Prairie Distinct features at the Provincial Exhibition, New Westminster, this year will be the displays and exhibits' of field and orchard crops. The unusual early harvest are combining to "produce fruits, vegetables, grains and roots of unusual quality. As the fair is a month off the bulk of the entries have not yet come in, nevertheless there are considerably more entries in already than -at the same time of any previous year, according to D. E. McKenzie, manager. The District Exhibit competition is.-attracting more attention than usual, and there have... been received from the Ravelstoke-Malakawa district. Central B. C, Kamloops, Lang- ley, Surrey, Richmond, Burquitlam, and Burnaby. There are five entries in the District Fruit exhibit from Penticton, Vernon, Summerland, Ke- lowna and Burquitlam. ��������� Reports have been received from the Okanag- an. centres, stating that the fruit crops are' very good this year, and the fruit is of excellent quality. These conditions will increase the volume of the displays quite considerably. "The association has added another competition to their list this year, namely, the Individual Farm Produce competition. To compete the exhibitor must include in his exhibit four different kinds of field crops, eight different kinds of garden vegetables, four different kinds of fruit either fresh, preserved, canned dried or jellied, and any two of the following, viz., cured meat, dressed poultry, eggs, cheese or butter. The keen rivalry between farmers and the large prizes are enticing a large number of entries, one from as far off as the Arrow Lakes. The Markets' Comissioner has just returned from a brief visit to prairie points' as far east as .Winnipeg, including Edmonton, Saskatoon, Re- gina. He finds that the market is very heavy to American soft fruit and apples, so much so that the early B. C. offerings' are not interesting the jobbers to any extent. Selling F. O. B. shipping point in B. C. is found to be almost impossible and rollers unsold is open for bids from competitive jobbers and there is no health, in this state of affairs. We consider that the only way.to stapilize prices is to sell on an F. O. 3. shipping point basis. Unfortunately those not selling through the union are-a disturbing-factor against a strict F. O. B. shipping point deal and it seems that some attention will be needed to remove this dififculty. The Washington market is very heavy and tho agents of shippers from there are very, active trying to force themselves on the prairie market. One firm's representative could not get a broker to handle his wares and is threatening to sell direct to the retail trade. WEEK Itf CALGARY is slightly Business is SASKATOON MARKETS Saskatoon, Sask., Aug. 8.��������� The prospects are very bright for a bumper crop of all kinds of garden vegetables^ Local growers are supplying the local demand. There are very few vegetables be'ing sold by either wholesale or retail trade. Fine new potatoes arc procurable by the consuming public at 75 cents per bushel. Last Saturday morning saw the Hearing up of a considerable quantify of over-ripe plums, apricots and tomatoes' at job prices, this was par- licularly noticeable in Ontario tomatoes in 11 quart baskets, the former price of $3.25 per basket dropped 75 cents to $1.25 per basket according to condition. These baskets are too frail to satisfactorily carry fruit that distance without bruising. , Weather, this week 'warmer, with less rain, still very slow. Local . Blackberries from . B. C. are crowding the nrarkec, only a .limited supply is demanded. P>'eies have slumped on account of over- supply and there is little chance of it improving this season. Local vegetables of good quality are being peddled from house to house by Chinese pedlers. Only fancy B. C vegetables 'are in demand. Raspberries are about past. Many inferior varieties of peach plums are a drug on the market,which has been supplied for over a month with fancy plums' from California and Washington. A car of peaches arrived here on consignment from Yakima this week. They are being sold retail at; 95<J a crate. Tip's i>a������ ^"moralized the peach market for B.

H. hompson, proprietor, was received in Calgary, this week by the Hudson Bay Co. This is a vary early date for sweet potatoes to be ready to ship. We had a sample of them sent to this office Ly Mr. Thompson, and find them of excellent quality. The early variety is named the "Okanagan Queen". It should prove a popular seller being on the market ahead of any Southern grown Yams. We understand that quite an acreage is planted to sweet potatoes in the Osoyoos district this year. These should find a ready market. TheAs- sociated growers of Vernon will furn- h'h full particulars as to quantity, quality and time of shipment to all intersted in distribution. Mr. and Mrs. H. P.

The s'venth annual Abbotsford- Siunas exhibition will be held on Thursday and Friday, September 20 and 21, which is not long in coming now. The president.says that it looks as though the fair this year- will be just as good as last year if not better. Already a very large number of the last year's exhibitors have signified their intention of a- gain entering for competition, and a number of the new-comers are to do their first competing in the district this year. He bar. talked with many who want to see 'the fair thi.-s year much bigger and better than last year, which of course was good. The prize lists are now published and distributed throughout the district and already.-entries* have been made. , It is up to all who reside in this district to help along the i'������?.ir for the sake of the fact that it is your home where you live and expect to live for sometime. A good fair is a community booster and a commuity builder. The open rivalry by neighbors, and the question decided by a stranger who perhaps does not know any of the competitors should give results as to which is the best, be it vegetable's, fruit, cows, horses or any uf the many articles entered for competition. The satisfaction of being the winner even' over your best friend competitor, is worth putting a -whole lot of vim into an exhibition tjuch as is to be held on Sept. 20 and 21st.

It may be a long time but it is sure to come. The following is the clipping: "Two ocean going freighters, tho C. G. M. M. Canadian Frighter, bound for Japan, and _ the SS. Steel Scientist, en route for the Atlantic Seaboard, passed down stream last night within half an hour of each other. Capt. Ford, head river pilot was in charge of the Canadian Freighter, while Capt. Edwards had charge of the Steel Scientist." It will be impossible for the Bur- rard Inlet to handle economically ai. the business that will accrue should the millions.of bushels of wheat start coming strong to the coast for shipment. .This will bring other trade" for the Pacific, and the development might surprise even many of the pioneers of this province. Do more boosting for the Fraser River, New Westminster! alion we have lecently heard so much of, and do something tangible towards securing action at the next session of the legislature. The majority of the cities in the interior are with us we understand that the B. C Automobile. Association wcuM be ready to work for it; many of our legislators ..-.re pledged to the Fraser River canyon riute and Kamloops is the logical point to set agoing the campaign in its favor. There was ,or.ce a Fratier Canyon Highway committee hern, bent on getting public opinion into I1113 in favor of tlie route. There is the remains of a fund still in the bank which would form a nucleus for the new campaign. Passing resolutions and sending them to Victoria Is no good. We require action of a more strenuous and concrete nature. That this will come there is no doubt and it is' trusted that all interested, and that should be every citizen with public welfare in his make-up,will rally to the cause and get something definite done.��������� Kamloops Standard-Sentinel. assented and section four of tlwi treaty gives to British' and Japanes subjects equal rights to own or lease land or warehouses in the territory of the other, but this applies only to commercial purposes but section five is the one dealing with agricultural land and it expressely provides that I this can only be dou'i on "A Condition of Reciprocity" and as Japan refuses this right,to uj there can be no possible objection,...with full regard to treaty rights,, to refuse them the same privilege in Canada. "This matter shoul 1 be pressed at once." Sometime ago an auto association known as the B. C. Automobile Association was started with the object of organizing all the small places in the province into one big organization for the purpose of looking after the auto interests in the province. It awakened the old Vancouver Automobile Club which has come to be quite active outside the-' city of Vancouver, and a very active interest has been taken in points throughout the Fraser Valley. Signs have been put up in .many, .prominent points,} produced on the farms The public has been long told by learned writers that the movement from the farms to the cities, which has been a feature of the trend of the population for many decades, was something highly desirable. Many plans were proposed, therefore, to make life on the farms more attractive to the boys and girls, and so keep them close to the soil. Now comes a radically different view, set forth by a group of economists in conference with the Canadian department of a- griculture. Referring to the movement from the farms to the cities, this report speaks hopefully of this as likely to increase future demand for foods The more There appears to be a posisbility that Victoria's delegates to the Union of 13. C. Municipalities' convention at Prince Rupert this month may advocate while there an income tax t) br> levied jointly by the municipalities and the provincial government. We do not know what the details oJ this proposal may be, but if it involves new taxation, then'we are opposed to it root and branch. We have, dual income tax collection at present, and it is all and more than all sufficient. It cannot be collected in full, for a certain percentage of- the people will not, and cannot pay. This newspaper has advocated time.,and time again that there should be only one income tax collecting agency. It has said tliat agency should be the province. There is duplication now of the machinery for collection, and that duplication, because of the expense it involves, means more taxation. Any proposal for a municipal Income tax must be opposed strenuously, for, that would mean a triple tax, and no doubt, three forces of officials for collection purposes, with the consequent waste in effort, a waste which should never be tolerated for a moment in the business of government, if it were only.,viewed as a business. ���������Victoria Colonist.

The delegates from the various parts of the province will journey there to do business. Other parts of the province have been favored by the presence of meetings of this Union, and it is fitting that Prince Rupert, with its boosters, beautiful " sun-sets and growing importance commercially be visited by the municipal delegates. There is one thing that the delegates will find and that is that they will be most heartily welcomed, and perhaps find that the people in the northern city are a most patient lot, even if they did."get a costly court house. There is not a road out of Prince Rupert by land except over the railroad, and there instead of autoing the people have motor boat riding. On this visit it will be up to the city to convince the delegates that they should emphasize to the government the necessity of having a highway leading from Prince Rupert to connect with other parts of the province. The Union has done good work for B. C. in the past and its usefulness will be increased by holding convention at a point where another view point of the province can lie taken. people there are to feed in the cities and the fewer people there are on the farms to produce the food, the better for the farmer This is tlie line of reasoning.. Along the same line is the recommendation in the report that wheat acreage in the United States be curtailed this coming autumn. There is no danger of world-wide shortage of products of the soil, if recently compiled statistics can be regarded as trustworthy.

He says that the demand will be made for Inclusion of a clause such as was stipulated for by Australia and South Africa limiting the right of Japanese to enter here. On his return from Ottawa, Mr. A. VV. Neil, M. P., (Independent, Comox ������^c. ������fttU Alberni), gave the following advice "If the farmers of the province wish to check the owning or leasing of land for agricultural purposes by the Orientals they should at once urge the local government at its next sesr sion to pass a test act to prohibit such.

It is unnecessary to emphasize the importance of mosaic, but it may be advisable to stress the fact that a careful system of eradicating the diseased plants from commercial plantings will yield a good economical control. The situation is much, more hopeful than it appeared a year ago. Symptoms In looking for plants affected with mosaic the leaves on the young canes are most suitable for observation. The symptoms will first be found during June and will gradually become more pronounced as the season advances. On the older leaves normal dark green, raised or puckered areas'"can be observed scattered over the leaf surface, the remainder of which is a yellowish green. The younger leaves present a more mottled appearance with the dark areas showing prominently, more often these are not raised or puckered. The fruit from diseased plants is seedy and lacks flavor. Low dwarfed bushes with yellowish foliage usually ��������� signify the presence of mosaic in an old plantation. This-does not apply to parts of the plantation where the ground is low or in which the soil condition is such as to give rise to sickly plants. Such a condition can be differentiated from mosaic by the lack of true mosaic mottling on the leaves. Control The most permanent control measures for the elimination of mosaic from raspberry plantations begin with the planting of disease-free stock. The practise of taking plants from an old planting irrespective of the amount of mosaic present must cease if the disease is to be controlled...-.;';' Old plantations with mosaic present should be left alone and new ���������plants secured from a well recommended source. Exception may be taken when less than 5 per cent, diseased plants are found. In such a case it may be advisable for a grower to thoroughly eradicate the diseased plants from a few rows in his plantation in order to secure his own nursery stock. But the wholesale eradication of diseased plants commercial plantation is When you order printing you buy something more than paper and ink.

On setting out a new plantation with disease free stock, it is advisable to have it isolated by 50 to 100 feet from any other raspberries, cultivated or wild. During the first two years this patch should be carefully Inspected several times and all diseased plants removed, root and all and carried to some distance from the plantation where they can be destroyed.

Most of the 1,000,000 growers of cotton in the United States, were white families ho said. The average income was $300 per year. The result was' a low standard of living for. these families, which put the southern states one or two generations behind the states-of the north. Those engaged having no purchasing power the entire comunity suffered. "Cotton was the basic industry just-as wheat is the basic industry in Canada," he said. "You can never remedy an economic.ill,,by purely ' political means, Attempts at political action result in disillusionment, discouragement, helplessness and often in "violence. ���������- "In.studying the situation we did not study the individual, but the en- ;ire system.

Workmen leaving for the United States claim that wages in that country are on a more favorable' basis than in Canada, but it is not so much the actual amount paid as what that amount will buy that is of importance. Whether a dollar spent in the United States will buy as much as a dollar spent in Canada may be an open question, but as long ast he workman is of the opinion that it does, he will go to the United States. There is, however, by no means -unanimity as to the relative advantages enjoyed in the two coun- tries.as'is evidenced by the return of many men who decided after practical experience that conditions Mi Can- aria were preferable.

"Tlie result was that 7S.000,000 bushels of potatoes were left in the ground. Only the normal crop of 'potatos moved. Investigations showed that in New York the consumer v as paying eight times what the producer in Maine got. for potatoes. "In brief we found thai the-consumer consumed the normal crop at ithor.i. normal prices., The supply at' she point of production made the price of potatoes for the growers, however. "To make the price depend on the nupi'ly at' the point of consumption is what we moaii by mereuandizing a-crop. It means ordinary intelligent, merchandizinz. It can uo done with any crop .under the sun. You can't, of course, got the same results with all crops.

"The secret of- management .is: just don't employ an amateur. In California we don't think it is' a fair tiling to ask a good price for prunes and refuse a good price for brains. We used to borrow our straight notes Then we employed"a banker to show us how we- could use bankers' acceptance. We cut down our interest rates'. '"There are. 22,000 growers in California using co-operative methods in marketing, and"-in the United States, outside of California there are 90,000 more. -= It is used'in selling all kinds of tilings from cotton and maple syrup to tobacco. In -ihe (three and a half years the 248,000 tobacco growers have been organized they have made a wonderful success. "I want you to realize that your prosperity depends on the country back of you.

There had been some speculation as to. whether or not the expert would mention conditions among the raisin growers of California where a great overproduction of, raisins has recently occurred. He dealt with it at length and offered an explanation that brought applause. " "When I was a boy in California or in other qualities of the cotton But the farmer didn't know it.

"But in agriculture there is individual effort. The inclvidual meets group producton, group financing, and group marketing. There we have put our finger on the one distinctive thing. "The whole, aim of co-operative marketing is to stop individual selling. But there are other things that are done. In California we learned to grade everything, literally, from eggs' to nuts.

A big liquor demand was created. The association had striven for years to build up a great household demand. Then the great liquor demand came and the association lost- its head.

Any industry pandering to illegal desires of people deserves to go under. (Applause.) "The association called its' bankers into consultation and if was decided that it needed $2,500,000 if it was to survive. The chambers of commerce of California began to assist it. The San Francisco chamber of- commerce underwrote it to the extent of $25 0,- 000. ��������� "In one small town a banker was presiding at a special meeting of the chamber of commerce and he talked to them straight.He said: 'If you let this association go to pieces, we're broke. Raisins will'go down to 1 cent a.pound and every bank, every store, every town will be bankrupt. "In oiie week the fund was oversubscribed and 87 rper cent of the raisin growers were signed up, tho management of the organization was changed, prices were reduced, the li- qv.or market was abandoned and an effort will be made to win back the household' market for raisins. "I haven't told you this to advertise raisins, but to show you how tb.3 business life of a community .depends upon -agriculture. "This co-operative marketing can and will be applied to your prairie provinces. I have never seen a moie wonderful spirit in my life, than that in Alberta. All are standingabreast to put-through a real co-operative v. heat-marketing organization. "In Saskatchewan it is the same. The only fly in the ointment is the Regina Leader���������and it is a fly���������but the rest of the newspapers across the prairies are solidly behind co-operative marketing. In Manitoba there is the same unity. In fact in all the three provinces, bankers; farmers and newspaper leaders are standing together. -And it needs" this union of interest. No one class can solve the problem. The farmer cannot solve it alone, not even by entering politics. "At meetings on the prairie Fort William and Port Arthur had representatives to show the growers that they' should send their crops east��������� but there was not a word from Vancouver. Vancouver ought to have, not 2 0,000,00.0 bushels of prairie wheat, but 100,000,000 bushels, and. that is not taking equalized freight rates into consideration. Instead of providing 2,000,000 bushels accommodation you ought to provide 10,- 000,000 or 15,000,000. And' there has not been a move out of Vancouver to tie up with the co-operative movement. "Canada is going to have co-operative marketing for her permanent crops and Vancouver is going to help in the formation of an intelligent :non-speculative organization for the prairies. "So long as speculation dominates the marketing so long will grain move past Winnipeg. And so long as the growers market their grain, will it pass through Vancouver and the east in economic routes'. (Applause.1 "Co-operative marketing changed the face of California. Haven't yon sometimes wondered why California has graded so high in the union in roads, per capita wealth, education, and in the things which make" lite worth living. It is because the farmers of California have large purchasing: powers. "After all, crops' just mean what we wear and what we read and what we can do." "In California farmers have'learned to stand on their feet and they have done it without appeals to th<? government, or by entering politics, but just by standing together with their community leaders. It has gone to make a finer, more independent and more intelligent population in all California. "If that little message from the United States will mean anything to you, I shall feel gratified and repaid" Aaron Sapiro, brought up in an" orphanage, self-made man and acknowledged leader in the advancement of co-operative : marketing in America, was applauded for several minutes. The applause was renewed when Julius Grififths, chairman, thanked him in behalf of the club.��������� Vancouver Sun.

"The great thing about co-operative marketing is that it makes the price of the commodity depend upon the price at points of consumption, not at points of production. "To illustrate I will take the case of potatoes in the United States last year, when it was seen that the crop would amount to 42 5,000,000 bushels and it was known that the average American consumption was a- bout 320,000,000 bushels.

The report :sf based upon the condition of crops at the end of July and indicates that three prairie provinces will produce 31)7,295,000 bushels of wheat if weather conditions remain favorable and harmful agencies do not take too heavy a toll. Commenting upon the outlook the report states: "Crop conditions at the end of July.are continuing to be generally favorable, especially in Saskatchewan and Alberta, where the percentage condition for wheat and oats is considerably above the average. In Manitoba the condition for wheat and oats is considerably above the average. In Manitoba the condition for wheat has somewhat receded during the month, damag-3 having been caused by attack of rust and saw fly. "Manitoba, it is oxpeoted w.'U have a total wheat yield of 44,4 6S- 000 bushels: Saskatchewan, 211,051- 000 bushels and Alberta 101,776,000 bushels. Final total estimates for 1922 in these three provinces were: Manitoba, 60,001,000; bushels: Saskatchewan, 250,167,000, and Alberta 64,976,000."

CLOVERDALE, Aug. 11.���������Plans are going ahead for tlie formal opening on Labor Day, Sept. 3,. of the Cloyerdale-Bkiine section of the Pacific Highway, the last stretch to be paved on the Canadian side of the line, and present' indications are that the affair will be the most s .ic- cessful that has ever been staged in Cloverdale. Various organizations in the municipality are giving their support to the plan, as well as others from New Westminster and Vancou- ver.The automobile clubs of both cities particularly are expected to give their entire co-operation to the affair. Efforts are being made by1 the committee in charge of the arrangements to have the Vancouver ..police bandin attendance throughout the day. Preliminary steps are also being taken to have erected a tatilet inscribed with the date of the completion of the paving of the highway the names of various provincial government officials and of the contractors in charge of the work. Those hitter plans, however, are only in their initial stages and the final details are yet to be. worked out. Just what the programme1 for the afternoon, of September 3 will consist of, has not been definitely decided on but in any event it is likely that there will be a programme of speeches from various public men of the province to whom invitiations to attend are being mailed. This programme will begin at 4 o'clock. Tho speeches will Jie made in connection with the official opening whiclj will be performed by Hon. Dr. -Sutherland, provincial minister of. public works. A baseball game " will be played earlier in the afternoon and then in the evening a huge banquet will be staged in the Cloverdale i.p- ero house. Following the banq xet there will''be dancing on the pave* nient until the early hours of 'he morning. The foregoing arrangements are only tentative, but it is expected that a plan at least somewhat similar will be followed.. There is no doubt about one thing, however, and that is that the event willbe the greatest affair ever'held in the history of Cloverdale HOT SPRINGS MAY AGALN BE REVIVED CHILLIWACK, Aug. 10.���������Information has been received here to the effect that the old Armstrong estate at Harrison Hot Springs has been purchased by a Vancouver firm, the First National Securities' Limited, which purposes to restore the springs to more than their old-time popularity. It was, stated by a representative of the firm that it was proposed to form a stock company with a capital of ahalf a million dollars to de-' relop the property and erect the necessary buildings tp replace those destroyed by fire some time ago. The plans it is understood contemplate the erection of a 150-room hotel and sanitarium equipped with all tho most modern, appliances for the treatment of the sick, to be managed by a medical man of specialized training in sanitarium work, andy* a hotel man familiar with the requirements of the tourist trade. For the benefit of the guests it is planned to construct a fine golf course. A start is to be made on work this fall and the construction is to be carried on as rapidly as the sale of stock permits. The construction of the highway on the north side of the river will, when completed, connect a loop road by way of the Rosedtue- Agassiz ferry which will enable tourists to travel by car through the Fraser Valley, taking In the beauties of both Chilliwack and Mission, with the hot springs as a stopping place.
