W. J. SHERWOOD, Representative 



a most practical nature. One of the great- 

 est annoyances with which fruit growers 

 have to contend is the pilfering of fruit 

 from packages when in the hands of ex- 

 press companies. Mr. W. H. Bunting, of 

 !st. Catharines, chairman of the transpor- 

 tation committee, stated that no satisfac- 

 tion regarding this matter could be ob- 

 tained from the railway commission. In- 

 dividual cases might be tried at any of the 

 divisional courts, but in his opinion the 

 matter should bo thrashed out between the 

 fruit growers as a body and the express 

 companies. He suggested, and his sug- 

 gesHon was adopted, that the association 

 send a strong resolution to the express 

 companies calling en them to put an end 

 to this nuisance. The matter is of such 

 importance that it will be followed up 

 energetically. 



PEACH DISEASES 



"The present mode of inspection of dis- 

 eases of fruit trees is inettective in deal- 

 ing with 'little peach' and peacn yellows,' " 

 said Mr. W, F. Robinson, of Hatchley. 

 Few inspectors appointed as they are at 

 present can deal with these two diseases, 

 which are completely destroying peach or- 

 chards in some sections. The association 

 passed a resolution recommending that 

 the Ontario Department of Agriculture ap- 

 point special inspectors to look after these 

 two diseases alone. 



That no reduction should be made in 

 the tariit of fruit coming into this coun- 

 try without first consulting the tarifp com- 

 mittee of the fruit growers' association was 

 the subject of a resolution which elicited 

 some keen discussion. That reciprocity of 

 fruit would be an advantage to the Cana- 

 dian fruit growers was generally acknow- 

 ledged, but no reduction should be made 

 while the tariff against our fruit going 

 into the United States is as high as it is 

 at present. Kesolutions were passed com- 

 mending the Ontario Department of Agri- 

 culture on placing district representatives 

 throughout the province and favoring the 

 rapid extension of this work, and suggest- 

 ing that lectures be given in public schools 

 particularly in fruit districts, on insects 

 and fungus pests. 



The Board of Directors were appointed 

 a committee to look into the advisability 

 of holding a Isational Apple Show in On- 

 tario next year. It was pointed out by 

 the various speakers that untario has a 

 climate which can produce apples unex- 

 celled in quality. If British Columbia can 

 give the greatest apple show yet held in 

 the world, Ontario can do as well and 

 better. 



Mr. James E. Johnson, or Simcoe, 

 President of the Association, said that the 

 decline in the apple industry in Ontario 

 was due to the ravages of insects and fun- 

 gus pests due to lack of care of the or- 

 chard, to the api)le buyers being willing 

 to take fruit from neglected orchards and 

 to poor inspection of fruit under the Fruit 

 Sales Act, due to lack of funds to carry on 

 the work properly. He suggested that the 

 Ontario Department of Agriculture co- 

 operate with the Dominion Department in 

 the more rigid inspection of fruit. 



PRACTICAI, ADVICE 



A most interesting address was delivered 

 by Mr, B. J. Case. President of the New 

 York State fruit growers' association. 

 "The greatest weakness in farming," said 

 Mr. Case, "is the lack of some good sys- 

 tem of keeping accounts." Severe trim- 

 ming to keep the heads back, the use of 

 low-headed trees, the use of Mammoth 

 Clover as a cover crop, cultivation, fertili- 

 zation, and thinning of the fruit are es- 

 sential if we are to get the best results.
