Only thorough work with the best machinery will 

 accomplish the best paying results from spraying. 



You must spray if you would have perfect fruit, and it 

 doesn't pay to bother with a cheap outfit. It means no 

 end of trouble and it's too risky — you have too much 

 at stake. 



Goulds Sprayers have proved their su- 

 periority by years of service. We make 

 the sprayer best suited to your condi- 

 tions. It will last for years because all 

 working parts are made of bronze to 

 resist the action of chemicals. "You 

 can depend on a Goulds" to work when 

 ever and as long as you require.

Mr. Case belieTed in severe pruning to 

 bring young trees rapidly to a bearing 

 age. In his own orchard Northern Spies 

 have yielded good crops seven years from 

 the time of setting. Valuing apple or- 

 chards at $1,000 an acre, bearing orchards 

 should return ten per cent, on the invest- 

 ment. 



OVEK FRODUOTION IlIPBOBABLE 



The danger cf over production was dealt 

 with by such representative fruit men as 

 RoLt. Thompson, Harold Jones, A. E. 

 Sherrington, G. H. Mitchell, and James A. 

 Johnson. In the opinion of these fruit 

 growers no one need be deterred from im- 

 proving their old orchards or from setting 

 out young orchards by the fear of over pro- 

 duction. There is no such thing as over 

 production of good fruit. 



"Profits from My Apple Orchard" was 

 the subject dealt with by R. R. Sloan 

 Porter's Hill, and J. G. MitcheU, Clarks- 

 burg. In this season of small crops, by 

 proper care Mr. Mitchell harvested $560 

 worth of fruit from an orchard which had 

 previously yielded only forty barrels. The 

 expense including rent amounted to $365, 

 leaving a profit cf $195. Mr. Sloan stated 

 that he bad old orchards which had given 

 returns as high as $18 a tree, or $530 an 

 acre. 



"The greatest weakness in co-operative 

 enterprises in the past," said Mr. S. E. 

 Todd, of Petrolia, "has been the lack of 

 some central organization to assist and 

 guide local co-operative concerns. The 

 various associations throughout the pro- 

 vince have had no uniformity in their 

 constitutions and have not worked toge- 

 ther as they might do to advantage. Cen- 

 tralization of societies explains the success 

 of co-operation in European countries. 

 Very few farmers appreciate the business 

 ability and the expense required to suc- 

 cessfully run a co-operative association. 

 The most successful associations are those 

 which pay their managers the highest 

 salaries. If a good manager was secured 

 and paid a good salary the association was 

 almost sure of success.
