a ofagricultural land is heavilytimbered and costly to clearby individual effort, but therailroad companies are clear-ing, to encourage agriculturaldevelopment. Most farmersraise live stock, do some dairy-ing and grow fruit. Grains,grasses, roots, and vegetables grow to perfection and yield heavily. Apples,pears, plums, prunes, and cherries grow luxuriantly, while the more tenderfruits—peaches, apricots, nectarines, and grapes attain perfection in thesouthern districts when carefully cultivated. Central British Columbia, through which the Grand Trunk Pacifictranscontinental line gives excellent service to settlers and business men,comprises the valleys of the Bulkley, Endako, Nechaco, Fraser, and Stuart,where there is considerable land inviting to the settler. The soil and climateof the valleys extending westward to the Bulkley are adapted to grain grow-ing and cattle raising, while further westward and to within fifty miles ofthe west coast belt apple culture as well is successful.
