To the Editor of Tire Poo DEAR Sxo.—I take this opportunity of writiog you a few Hues and I think Mrs. Jookeon will also write. I will tell a little about Colton, California, On Jan. 20th we got to Colton at 1 p. m., it was raining quite smart, James Barnhill met ue at the etation with a covered carriage and took us to hie beautiful home 1i miles distant. Colton and the Ref/lanais are famines for orange growing and other fruits ouch 0e grapes, lineae, peaches, almonds, aprioobe, pears, plume, apples, cherries, Walnuts, peraimmone, olives, quince, pomegranitea, table grapes, blackberries, raspberries and other fruits. This ie a beagtifal valley nearly surrounded with mountains ranging i0 height from 8,000 to 12,000 ft. and snow on them the year round. It is gaibe oon1raet, Winter and Sommer so near together. Here are btndrede of e0rea oovaved with orange trees, moat beautiful to look upon and just ae good as you oars get to eat. The pulling hi meetly done by /odium. They get from 3 to 4 oente par box and one man can pull from 60 to 70 boxes per day. A box holds 70 lbs. People here have a Fruit Ae000iabion and have a pecking house of their own where the fruit is drawn on spring wagons. The proems of pecking is very quick, the girls wrap them in paper and pack them for 27Ao per box 70 Ibe. Boxes are made by hand, one man nailing together 300 or 400 per day. They can pack and load 4 care per day at this house. Last year this Aeeooiation shipped 600 oars and will have more thio year. Mr. Barnhill expecte to have about 40 oars of hie own his year, He fa President of the As - ()dation and the Iorgeet prodaoar of the ompany, The Redlands nearby shipped ,000 oars last year.

After leaving Seaforth Jan. 11th, on oar journey, we reached Fort Worth, Texas, after three days and two nights steady travelling. In the few days of our stay with friends there, we experienced the moat severely cold weather they had known for five years, quite froety bat no snow jnet Borne sleet. Port Worth is a large, busy city but did not show at its best then on 8000001 of the anoeoai cold, From Fort Worth we travelled through a rough, mo0ntainoaa country, where the differ - ant opeoiee of the oaatae plant grow wild by the million. When we reaohed E' Paseo, an old city on the border of Mexico, the weather was beautifully mild and as we journeyed up through Oalifornia it seemed like Spring time. When we revolted Dolton, where we visited James Barnhill and family for a few days, the orange trees were green and fresh and laden with ripe oranges and d;were blooming in the gardens. 'The town of Colton ie situated in the beaatifal valley of San Bardino. Wben looking from the balcony of a home where we were oalling, I was wondering if the Garden of Edell WEB much more lovely than the view over the miles of orange groves, go evenly and exaotly planted in rows. From that same view one oould see the towns of San. Bardino, Redlands, Highlands and Ooltoo. We visited the Packing Boase in Colton whiob is a great industry and where I was highly pleaeed with the expert manner io whiob the girle ae8ort and pack the ara0gee. We also drove over to Rialto, whiob is another great orange packing station, While there we called on Mr. and Mrs. Dunn, formerly of At wood, who were very hoepitable.

Laidlaw, and the Claming', family, formerly of Tooker smith, and spent two days in the coaatey at the home of John Fairbairn, a pros pero0e farmer. We also spent a day with John Houston and family, who ie a aootraotor and builder. Also met with Mrs. Robert Fairbairn, formerly of Grey. From Sacramento we made a short visit in Portland with Mr, and Mn.r}Lagoa, and took a glimpse al the Fair Bailditge for the great Exposition of the oomioq Summer. Leaving Port land we nam to Williappa, a email village near South Bend on the Paoitio coast, where we are spending a few days pleasantly in the home of S. S, MoEwing.

Our Export Egg Trade. Following i0 a oopy of a letter received by the extension of markets Division, Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, from Mesas. Watson, Fraser & Co., Glasgow, in whioh is eeb forth the views of a firm who are the largest importers of eggs in Glasgow. Dear Sire—On the whole we regret to report that the Canadian egg trade haa been a dieastroae one this year, both to the exporter and importer. The chief reason for this was, that the markets in Canada in the Spring of 1904 were far too high, and this made the prose of preserved eggs mooh dearer than they bad ever been before. Fewer contracts were plan. ed, and than who made them bad prao- tioaily to rsell out at abet. Even at present there are fairly large stooks lying over both in Liverpool and Glaegow and ib 19 not at all likely importers on thio aide will take the risk of paying such extreme prio08 another season for prelmr9• ed eggs. Prioea kept well ay throughout the whole season, and the mutt wan that freeb and (told stored eggs were from 20 to 24 Dente per hundred dearer than they were the previoae year. Thie has a great effect on oar markets. Ir there were no other eggs but Canadian coming into our market it would be all right, but shippers in Oaoada meet bear in mind that Ramie, is °reaping np on them every year, both as regards quality and average they ship to our markets, The quality of Rankin eggs this season has been very flue and hag given buyers every eatiefaation. Some of oar eastern ere, in fact who generally go on to Can. alone, have worked entirely with Rea slang and left Canadians severely alone. It its to be hoped therefore, that the market thio Spring will not be tushed up, but will Dame down to more oh a level with two or three years ago, and thus maid importers t0 keep the Canadian eggs well to the front, As already mentioned, Canadians must not forget that other oonntriee are sending 0gg0 into Sootoh and English markets, Boob as Denmark, and the price of these baa been praotioally the same na the pr00eding years, and it has been with great diffl culty that impeeter8 On this aide have managed to get a profit oat of the Canadians this 0eeeon, It fe a .matter of great imporbaneo, that Canadian farmers bring their two clean to Canadian buyers, They should also endeavor to get a larger breed of bend eo 88 to sonue larger ogge ,ae the Lim ' e to not tar Off when all eggs will be bought in Canada by weight, Youre fnithfnlly, WATSON, Pakten & Co, laegow, Jan, 17, 1905, EDITORIAL NOTES.
