Research Body
Conducting Five
Valley: Projects

An enlightenin§ report was given
by Dr. G. Howell Harris, Chairman
of the Agriculture Committee, B.C.
Industrial and Scientific Research
Council, at the last Directors’ meet-
ing of the B.C. Coast Growers’ As-
sociation, held in Mission Sept. 10.

This council has been functioning
for the past two years. Five proj-
ects are underway in the Fraser

Valley at the present time, namely:

1, Cattle project (diseases), 2. Food

values of B.C. fruits and vegetables;
3. Supplementary soil survey of the
Fraser Valley; 4. Poultry (adult
mortality; and 5. Alfalfa breding.

In Project 2 a survey is being con-
ducted whereby the soil in different
jareas is being analyzed; also the
fruit is being analyzed for food. val-
ue and mineral content and its re-
lation to the soil. This information
is basic to the fruit and vegetable
industry of B.C. and a starting point.

It has been found, Dr. Harris said,
that the British Sovereign straw-
berry is almost unique in food value,
particularly Vitamin C. The Pitt
and Marshall berries are also high
in food value. The Washington rasp-
berry can only be grown successfully
on the Pacific Coast. One of the
particular problems being discussed
at the present time is good planting
stock of strawberries, raspberries
and other small fruits.

Since there is an increasing num-
ber of new growing problems in the
small fruit industry in the Fraser
Valley, the various growers organiz-
ations should make their requests
direct to the Council, Dr. Harris
said. The members of the organiz-
ations should contact their directors
on any important problems.

A bulletin will be published late
this fall covering the entire two
year’s work of the council. This will
be distributed to the growers,
