In Keremeos last week visitors toured orchard lands and gardens showing Similkameen Valley potential for farming. Authorities note 300 acres of orchards near Keremeos and 135 acres sown to tomatoes in a new cannery area nearing completion with 90 tons capacity. About 200 acres of other vegetables and 1000 acres of timothy and alfalfa are cultivated. Water and irrigation could unlock idle land, transforming the valley with government support.
