PEERLESS - PERFECTION 



MEANS 

 FENCE PROTECTION 



Peerless Wire Fence does not serve 

 only as a mere boundary line for your 

 farm and pastures but gives real fence ser- 

 vice as a permanent barrier to trespassing and 

 wandering of stock. 



You Should Fence Your Land With PEERLESS 



We use high grade fence wire well galvanized. The joints are 

 united by the non-slippable Peerless Lock, making a fence that will 

 stand up against the most severe and sudden shocks without damage. 

 The horizontal wires are all crimped, making ample protection for con- 

 traction and expansion, keeping the fence always tight even under 

 extreme variations of temperature.

1398 KING STREET 

 LONDON - CANADA 



HEARD SPRAMOTOR CO., 



the apple, shall be held here next November, 

 where there will be exhibits from all the 

 apple growing districts of Canada. It is 

 expected that such an exhibition will prove 

 of great advantage to the country, since it 

 will draw buyers from Europe, as well as 

 from the United States. 



"Committees have been appointed to find 

 how much support may be looked for from 

 the Dominion and provincial gorernmente as 

 well as from the railway and steamship 

 companies. It is pointed out that the Van- 

 couver Apple exhibition gave forty-five 

 thousand dollars in prizes and it was 

 thought that Montreal should be able to do 

 even better than this. Other expenses in 

 connection with the exhibition will probab- 

 ly bring the expense up to about sixty 

 thousand dollars so that it will be no small 

 affair to undertake." 



BE ON GUARD 



While it is possible that the proposal is 

 still only very much under consideration, 

 and that it may not materialize, still east- 

 ern apple growers wiU do well to be on their 

 guard so that there will be no danger of 

 their being caught napping. Were the 

 show held in Montreal, Nova Scotia and 

 New Brunswick might be expected to send 

 large exhibits. We presume that this mat- 

 ter will be given consideration at tho Do- 

 minion fruit conference this winter. 



Nova Scotia 



The shipping of apples from Nova Sootia 

 so far this season aggregates over 921,702 

 barrels, 1,861 half-barrels and 9,907 boxes. 

 This is estimated to be only half the crop. 

 Of this quantity 790.128 barrels have been 

 forwarded through the port of Halifax, 

 21,574 through the Bay of Fundy, and 

 100,000 barrels by rail to western Canada. 

 The Halifax shipments were : London, 

 332,333 barrels; Liverpool, 151,323 barrels; 

 Glasgow, 134,281 barrels; Hamburg, 133,673 

 barrels; Bristol, 13,430 barrels; Newfound- 

 land, 6,736 barrels; South Africa, 2,675 bar- 

 re's; Manchester, 3,701 barrels; \V estlnd.es, 

 2,976 barrels; Newfoundland (by Red Cross 

 Line), 9,000 barrels; total, 970,128 barrels. 

 From Annapolis by steamer to Hull, 17,574 

 barrels ; to St. John by schooners (estimat- 

 ed), 14,000 barrels. 



British Columbia 



The Department of Agriculture, in ac- 

 cordance with its policy of education, has 

 decided to continue the fruit packing 

 schools as inaugurated two years ago and 

 extended last winter. The five packing 

 schools with an attondance of one hundred 

 and twenty pupils in the spring of 1910, 

 grew to a total of thirty schools with a total 

 attendance of three hundred and eighty-five 

 pupils in the spring of 1911. These schools 

 proved very popular. 



Mr. Thos. Cunningham, provincial in- 

 spector of fruit pests, announces that all 

 fruit entering the province of British Col- 

 umbia in future will have to pass a most 

 rigid inspection at the hands of the pro- 

 vincial fruit inspectors, whether the fruit 

 be from across the line or shipped in from 

 the east. .According to investigations made 

 by Mr. Cunningham, evidence of the much 

 dreaded codlin moth, from which the pro- 

 vince is said to be free, has been found in 

 shipments of apples received from the state 

 of Washington and also in some received 

 from eastern Canada. Mr. Cunningham 

 recently inspected two carloads of Ontario 

 apples and condemned them for being af- 

 fected by codlin moth. He also condemned 

 two consignments of apples received from 

 the state of Washington for the same rea- 

 son. The government has twenty-one in- 

 specting stations at points throughout the 

 province and instructions have been issued
