ECONOMICAL PRODUCTION IS ADVOCATED

Thomas S. Acheson, agricul- tural representative for the Cana- dian Pacific Railway, speaking at the 19th annual meeting on Friday of the B.C. Fairs Assoc- iation, urged farming commun- ities to concentrate on the pro- ducts which they can produce best and most economically.

The Fraser Valley was par- ticularly adapted to dairying, Mr. Acheson said, just as livestock and wheat farming was natural to Manitoba. Apples could be grown in southern Manitoba, but not on the same commercial basis as in the Okanagan Valley.

FRASER VALLEY MARKET

The first downward movement in meat prices in weeks featured the Fraser Valley Market on Fri- day. Grade B steer beef was sel- ling half a cent lower wholesale, at 12c, while grade A was down to 13c. Packers were reported to be heavily stocked.

Veal was also considerably easier and more plentiful. Two weeks ago veal was scarce and butchers had to pay as high as 15 and 16c wholesale. This week good veal could be thad for 12%e to ld4e a pound wholesale. Lamb was steady at 19¢ wholesale and pork was un- changed at around 16c. A large number of little Pigs were offered at $4.50 to $7 each.

Egg prices were still at the low levels of 16c a dozen to producer for grade A lapge, 13c for medium and licfor pullets, Retail prices averaged 22c for grade A large, 20c for medium and 18¢ for pullets.

Vegetables continue to be of good quality and fairly cheap. Good local rhubarb sold at 5c a bunch. Potatoes were firm at 10 pounds for 19c. Nice new carrots were offered at 7c a bunch. Spin- ach sold at 10¢ a pound and Brus- sel sprouts at 5c a pound. Small local apples could be had for 60c a box.

tary, Mr. Bonavia mentioned that four annual fairs had been revived in 1939. They were Golden, Ro- berts Creek, Fruitvale and Ful- ford Harbor. Weather conditions and the outbreak of war had ad- 2 affected fairs

Speaking as president of the Vancouver Exhibition Association, Mr. Dunsmuir pointed out that cities were dependent on the agri- cultural communities behind them. The directors of the Vancouver Wxhibition realized this and had recently appointed a new commit- tee on rural relations.
