Patmore in his speech on Tuesday night re- ferred to the fact that ‘‘Daddy”’ Weeks of Kitsumkalum would get both the Prince Rupert and the Seattle market for his strawberries, and would not be in the least hurt by the effect of reciprocity in the cheapening for North B. C. Coast consumers, of Washington States vegetable and fruit, Mr. Patmore was convincingly rignt. The audience appreciated this and applauded. There is an exact parallel to the situation existing over in the Old Country at the present time which is worth looking into. In the sunny valleys of the Blairgowrie district of Scotland is situated Scotland's strawberry country. Scotch strawberries are as famous in the markets of the old land, as Lakelse and Kitsum- kalum strawberries deserve to be on the American.continent. Scotch strawberries always fetch higher prices in all markets (even in their home market) than South Country strawberries. Their flavor is so much finer owing to their having grown in the more northerly latitude. They also command bet- ter prices, owing to their beirg grown in the more northerly lat- itude, they ripen just a week or .wo later than the English fruit, and are at their best on the market when the English product “DADDY” WEEKS AND HIS WEE STRAWBERRY PATCH An Object Lesson From Scotland Proving by Actual Facts That Under Reciprocity Skeena Valley Straw- berries Must Command the Best Prices in Both Home and Southern Markets that it does not stand trans- portation well. Scottish straw- berries get the table market at table prices for all their own season. South country berries get canning prices most of the time, and frequently quantities are dumped on the market at less than cost to save actual waste. Just as the Blairgowrie Valley strawberries command always the best prices in London and Edin- burgh markets in spite of English grown competitors, so will ‘‘Daddy’ Weeks’ Kitsumkalum strawberries, and the Lakelse Valley berries commard always the best prices in the Prince Rupert, Vancouver, and Seattle markets under reci- procity (which places B. C. in the same trade relation with America as exists between Scotland and England, at least as regard fruit) Just as the Scotch strawberry commands the best part of the season at the best prices because it is grown in the more northerly latitude, so will ‘‘Daddy’’ Weeks’ strawberries command a long mar- ket, and high prices. There can Patmore said: ‘Daddy’’ Weeks will get not only his home market, but also the Seatile market, and at better prices ever in Rupert, than the Seattle berries can com- mand after transportation.
