trict a fairly good crop of apples was harvested. Strawberries were 

 a good crop all over the district. Currants, gooseberries, plums an<I 

 cherries were a minus crop. Raspberries bore a very light crop. 

 Blackberries when covered during the winter were a good crop. 

 Grapes did not mature very well on account of the cool, wet fall.

In closing this report I would say that the next season's outlook 

 is that we shall have to spray very thoroughly for fungous diseases 

 as well as for insects. The wet seasons for the last two years seem 

 to have increased the crop of all fungous germs to an alarming ex- 

 tent. Our apple crop this year showed a greater tendency to all 

 scab diseases than heretofore. Experience shows that when we 

 spray often and do the work thoroughly that these diseases can be 

 kept in check almost entirely, at least to a minimum.
