purposes and vast outlays of the same
kind are going on allover the province.
According to the Demin'on census of
1901 there were in tho whole of Canada
15,053,875 apple trees, 1,801,775 peach
trees, 962,101 pear trees, 2,415,695 plum
trees, 1,228,368 cherry trees and 179,425
other fruit trees; a total of over twenty-
one million fruit trees, besides 2,783,596
grape vines and large acreages of small
fruits. Since 1901 there has boon a very
great increase in the number of trees,
British Columbia farm yrs alone having
planted about 4,500.0itrees within the
ten years. Mr. B tell estimates that
there cannot be .:a than thirty million
fruit trees in . nada now, and he thinks
that $ 50,0::,000 is a low valuation to
plane . • • e orohards of Canada to day.
TH •ANADIAN CENTURY some
weeks ago published au article on the
value of a tree. It was pointed out that
a Garman railway company had been
forced to pay six hundred dollars for one
cherry tree which it destroyed, and the
principle upon which the court decided
the value of a fruit tree was explained.
1.lr. Burrell's estimate only allows five
dollars as the average value of a Cana-
dian fruit tree when he values the orch-
ards of the Dominion at $150,000,000.
We believe that the real valve is very
mach greater.
Now what would bo raid if the Gov
ernment suddenly took away the tariff
protection of a group of manutaotnring
industries in whioh $150,000,000 of capi-
tal was invested?
We hear a great deal from the politi•
pians about vested rights. Why should
there be any more consideration for the
vested rights of mannfaotnrers than for
the vested rights of farmers. Has not
the small farmer a vested right in the
fruit tree that has cost him money, lab.
our, time and anxiety?
We do not believe that the prosperous
grain growers of the prairie provinces
of Canada will vote against their broth-
ers in British Columbia and Ontario
when they know the real facts. We
appeal to those farmers of Canada who
are not fruit growers to stand by their
brother farmers in this time of peril.
Canadian Fruit Farmers in Great
Peril.
From the Canadian Century
The largest deputation of farmers that
ever waited oa any Canadian Goveru-
ment was .that of the fruit growers of
Western Ontario, who went to Ottawa
on February 10 to protest against the
Reoiprooity Agreement. The orae they
presented to the Government was a
strong one They showed that if the
Reciprocity Agreement was endorsed by
the Oanadien Parliament and the United
Status Congress it would reduce the val-
ve of every orchard in Ontario and ruin
thousands of small fruit farmers who
had paid high prices for their little farms
and spent time ano
d mney in planting
trees. They showed Ghat many large
farms had beep subdivided for -
growing purposes, and that new enb•
divisions were Constantly beiog made.
They said that a farm of one hundred
aures whioh formerly supported only one
family, being out into ten small fruit
farms, supported ten families. Among
other memorials presented by this depu-
tation was the following:
"We, the undersigned, the presi•
dent and executive committee of the
Old Country Association, composed
entirely of men born and bred in the
British Isles, and the great majority
of whom are engaged in the fruit in-
dustry, respectfully and earnestly beg
to draw the attention of the Dominion
Government to the peculiar hardehip
which will be imposed upon ns should
this proposed tariff legislation come
into effect.
"We have been induced to leave
Great Britain and to come to this pen.
insula, and to invest our capital in the
pnrohase, planting and general im.
provement of fruit lauds in a largo
measure owing to a very wide dia•
tribution of official pamphlets and
other literature emanating from Cana-
da, and distributed throughout the
British Isles, positively stating that
'the Ontario grower is protected in the
home market by a high tariff against
foreign•grown fruit and vegetables
and thus enjoys that market without
serious competition from out side
sources.'
"The amount of oilstones tariffs on
the various fruits ie specifically stated
in these pamphlets and literature; and
in order that this particular advantage
to the Canadian grower may be clear
ly nnderatood by the Britisher this
tariff scale is not only set forth in
Canadian money but is also set forth
in the coinage of Great Britain. Un•
der the belief that these, conditions
would be stable we have not only sunk
our own capital, but have bean instru-
mental in bringing many of our cana•
trymen here to invest in this growing
industry, wh!oh, owing to the steady
rise of recent years in the values of
land, now requires a large t.monnt of
capital to purchase and equip even the
small farms the majority of us own
and to provide for the meintenaooe of
our families daring the years it takes
to bring an orchard into bearing
Four days. after these Oetario fruit
farriers presented their case to the Gov•
ernmentMr.Martin Barrell memb.r of
,
Parliament for Yale Cariboo, gave the
House of Commone a remarkably clear
and comprehensive statement of the
position of the fruit growers in all the
provinces of Osnede, giving special at-
tention, of course, to his own province
of British Columbia, which has made
wonderful progress in the pleintieg of
orchards during the past ten years, Mr.
Barrell -has devoted twenty-eight years
of his life to the praotioal work of fruit
growing No man in Canada has a bet-
ter knowledge of the question.
In 1901 there were 667,000 f, nit trees
in British O.rinmbie, according to the
Dominion census. Now there are estim

World Competition for Canadian
Farmers,
"Why ehonld Canadian farmers lose
every veetige of protection for their pro
dnote while the tariff on manufactured
goods remains almost untoaohed? If
farm produote from the United States,
the Argentine Republic, Buena, Aus-
tria•Hungary, Denmark, Norway, Swede
en, Spain, Japan, Australia, New Zea-
land and other countries are to oome In-
to free competition with Canadian term
products in our own home market why
should not manufactured produots Dome
in free from the same countries?
These are the questions which farmers
throughout Canada are asking eaoh other
now, and they will ark the politicians
the same queetione a little later on. Free
trade in farm products and protection
for mauufactured products is a condition
of things that oannot be permanent.
What Will American Farmers Sav?
When ,the farmers of the United
States learn that the same Reoiprooity
Oompaot that gives them free entrance
to the Canadian market gives exactly
the same privilege to almost every food -
exporting country in the world they will
be enraged. They will say: "With
Russians, Japanese, Austrians, Argen-
tines, Dauer, Swedes, Norwegisne, Span-
iards, Australians, New Zealanders and
a host of other food producers dumping
their eurplue prodnots into the Canadian
market what will there be left for ns?"
They will complain that Canadians will
try to relieve their glutted markets by
shipping some of this foreign stuff into
the United States, and indeed it will be
very diloult for the Ucited States G iv
ernment to prevent them doing so, How
will United Suttee oaatome officials he
able to distinguish' between Canadian
farm products tied foreign food 60t will
be dumped on the Canadian market?
Dishonest men in both Canada and the
United States will take advantage of
the situation. Oa the other hand honest
