PROFITS IN ORCH.iRDING 



On "The Profits in the Other Fellow's Or- 

 chard," Mr. Farrand told of how he had at 

 different times taken over neglected apple 

 orchards and by systematic spraying and 

 ininiing made them profitable. By the ex- 

 amples shown, the apple growers who form- 

 eily had let the orchards degenerate wev" 

 now awakening to the good profits that coulj 

 be derived from them, and in consequence 

 Michigan was making great strides in the 

 last couple of years by following up thi.^- 

 industry closely. 



ORCHARD CULTIVATION 



With the aid of a stereoptican, Prof. J. 

 P. Stewart of the Pennsylvania State Col- 

 lege showed the growers views of trees that 

 fertilization had benefitted and contrasted 

 them with others that had been left to shift 

 for themselves. The topic Professor Stewart 

 chose, was "Proper Orchard Cultivation," 

 and in it he confined his experience and 

 remarks almost wholly to apple orchards. 



The use of fertilizers and nitrogen when 

 not placed too near the trees gave excellent 

 results. The plowing m of cover crops pro- 

 vided nitrogen. He would not plow apple 

 orchards in the autumn only under the ex- 



ceptional circumstances of tougher sod in the 

 spring. 



DISTRIBUTION OP FRUIT 



At one of the sessions, Mr. J. E. John- 

 ston of Simcoe told how oo-6peration had 

 benefit^"' thr< growers in Norfolk co'-ntv bv 

 proper distribution. Major H. L. Roberts 

 of Grimsby gave a short interesting talk on 

 what the a.ssociation was trying to do along 

 the lines of distribution. They were striv- 

 ing to secure better prices and extend the 

 markets. Co-operation was making good 

 progress but ultimate benefits could not be 

 secured unless every grower put his shoulder 

 to the wheel. 



FERTILIZERS 



"The object of fertilization," said Pro- 

 fessor Gamble of the O.A.C., in an address 

 on liiij subject, "is to supijly material 

 that acts on soil elements rendering 

 them soluble and unlocking plant food." 

 It was well to apply lime on light 

 soils once every six or seven years 

 where heavy manuring had lessened this in- 

 gredient in the soil. Whether to plow or 

 sow a cover crop, depends largely on the 

 season. If the season bf dry it is well to 

 have a cover that holds the moisture. Cul- 

 tivation increases the decay in organic mat- 

 ter and liberates the nitrogen. Cultivation 

 and water had more to their credit in the 

 growth of successful crops than manure.

One of liiese outfits is an every-day-in-the-year inoney-niaker. Detach your 

 1 or 2-horse-power engine from the spraying pump and operate your grinder, 

 fanning mill, separator, churn, pump, thresher, huller, cutter, grindstone saw- 

 mill — or any other niacliine, 



I H C engines are celebrated for their simplicity, economy of fuel consump- 

 tion and reliability. They are solving the "help" problem for fruitgrowers, 

 farnuTS and gardeners everywhere. We have issued a complete catalogue on 

 spraying. Don't tie up money in a spraying outfit that you can use only for
