Caught in a Glut 



is what happens to the fruit 

 grower who depends on one 

 market to take his crop. 



Fortunately their is no need 

 to be thus caugfht. Canada 

 is wide. There are many 

 centres from Halifax to Cal- 

 gary anxious to get good 

 fruit from a reliable grower. 



The Canadian Grocer is 

 the medium through which 

 the grower can reach these 

 buyers.

Extension Ladders. 



Of modern appliances for orchard work th.^r-j 

 are few quite so important as a good extens.jn 

 ladder. In the old days fruit grow-ers took a 

 pole of tamarack or cedar, ripped it in two half 

 round sections and put rungs in. Where the 

 height required was small, 10 or 12 feet, this 

 served very well, but where, as it often hap- 

 pened, it was necessary to get to the top of a 

 tree 25 or SO feet high to get the apples or pex'S 

 —well, we usually did not get there. SeMo.-n 

 had we a ladder long enough, or if we had 't 

 took a neighborhood " bee " to raise it, and 

 when it was finally put in or let fall into place 

 with a bump it knocked off half the fruit it was 

 meant to gather. 



With a good light safe extension ladder oae 

 man can place it just where he wants it, even a 

 32-foot ladder, then extend it and place it gently 

 just where the best fruit is, even in the mid lie 

 top of the tree where the long single ladder 

 cannot be placed at all. Tu-o or three sizes of 

 good extension ladders in a small and moderate 

 sized orchard, and more in a larger one, v/ill 

 pay for themselves in a few days in apple pick- 

 ing time. In this as in other farm and orchard 

 appliances it pays to get the best.
