OPEN DOOR series of articles on Recipro- Canadian Century to which sue of last week. 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 Med so be five million fruit trees in that provinoe, and the area devoted to Mitt is rapidly inoreaeing, The grain grower of the prairie gets his big farm at low post, sometimes ao a free grant; the land is ready for culti- vation; the Govetnaient subsidizes a ratiway to take the grain to market The l3titish Columbia fruit farm nitist first be Cleared of enornione 'trees; the op le of theEast and of the prairie pep p a e provinces can scarcely realize the Im- mense faze of Britleh Colonibis timber. After the land has been cleared et great expense and trait treea planted the tarm- er must wait for years, his treat 10 grow and bear tittle. In many parts of the provinoe he moat pay his share of the cost of oonetrnoting irrigation works. Itt the Okanagan Valley alone the am• cant of $1,600,000 had been expended al- ready to irrigation works for orchard 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 Canadian exporters will often be sus. tooted of Prang, Amerioan customs Oblate will sometime charge that good, honest, Oanadian eggs, butter, cheese, eto , come from Argentina, Siberia, or some other outlandish place that hat been given the right 10 send Its farm pc0. ducts freely into Ctdada, Bitter con• troversies ill arise, The pleasant kind- ly feelings that have to long existed between Confidant; and Aniertoane will be replaced by a spirit of ansptolon and antagonism that may have serious con• segaenoee, 5 •••••••••••••••w•••A•••••. ••••••••••••••••••••••••+• ?SEW FITHE LEADING STORE' i • • • • • • • • ••, • • • • •• • •• • • • • • ••• • • • NEW SPRING GOODS NEW IDEA 100 Are being opening up and placed on, display every day now. owant to see if >� e what Da fashion has yint~ f h n created in styledom for Spring, 1911, pay this store a visit.
