zen w sixteen hours of his own daily toil, leaves something to ‘be looked into and explained.

The situation is too much like that described in a song which was in vogue across the border in u past generation. one line ob which ~was "Give the Vankeee all the fish and the British all the bones." Somebody gets the lion's share of the fish and the farmer thinks he know-s who it is. ‘Zilhny Northwest farmers, along with many in Ontar- io and Prince Edward island bum a good portion of coal during the winter season. They find it cost!) fuel. many city householders do, and they realize that the cost is largely made up of minors‘ and railway mens wages. With wheat at three dollars a bushel and pota- toes two dollars the high freight charges might be borne but with dollar rwhcat and quarter dollar potatoes the case is very different. What the farmer cannot undel- stknil is how such a readjustment downward should have taken place in farm products without a corres- ponding readjustment in the ltcm c-f labor. "lihere is a conflict of interest ‘bc-Lvyeon the two classes and ihey cannot work cordially together in one qioiifical party.

Our stores and our homes were never without an abundant silpply. in season, of everything from the hum- ble goosoberry to the stutely pear or the rich clustered homegrown grapes. These things are now only memories of the past, and thoso to whom they are norw a luxury uro wondering to where has this glory departed. and why?

Mir. Newson. the Government Bee inspector, is u-lsc a practical fruit grower, not qualified ‘by a B- S0- H. Diploma. but from the better lessons learned in the scbdol of actual experience. Fruit growing in this country is not adaptable to tlfe .i,i‘0pll(3i\| and difficult types, nor to the finely classical in mun- ngement. lng and strong growing varieties can be enteriailned as n profitable proposition. in these, consisting of apples, plums. cherries. dam-

applied to this purpose. There are provinces in Canada where men capable of doing this worl; are in keen demand, and where their services are appreciated for their just worth, and why this province up-tcx-date in the most oi! its lu- jndustrles of agriculture and the soil, should ‘he lagging behind in this is beyond our xvnupffihellflii)“.

There is however sm-ple opening for considerable to be done, and done at once, in the matter of fruit production. without govern- ment aid m‘ direction. In former days the great difficulty was in finding markets for the products; which in consequence were not worth gathering and were left. to rot on the ground. it was largely fur this reason that interest abated trees were allows-ed to die, or be klflcd out by neglect and insect and rung-old enemies. The situa- tizm DOIW is iliffereni. There is an almost unllluintcd uisrket for all kinds of fruits. and at highly re- munerative prices. ISnme lfruits
