pupil, to take six lesBons of two and a half 

 hours each. 



The Department of Agriculture provides 

 the instructor and pays his expenses, sup- 

 plies packing paper and tables, and bears 

 the cost of fruit and all other legitimate ex- 

 penses except that of the secretarial work, 

 the rent of the hall, and its heating and 

 lighting. Local fruit is used where possible 

 and the department pays the legitimate 

 market price as determined by the instruc- 

 tor or inspector. At the time of making the 

 application for the packing school the re- 

 sponsible organization is requested to re- 

 serve two and a half to three boxes of fruit 

 for each pupil. The harder varieties, such 

 as Ben Davis, are preferred. It need not 

 be graded, but niu.'<t be in good condition 

 and not smaller than two and a quarter 

 inches in diameter. 



In addition to the packing work, modern 

 methods and equipment for packing, pack- 

 ing for exhibition, and the Fruit Marks 

 Act will be studied. Pupils who score 75 

 per cent, and put up a creditable pack for 

 the department prizes next autumn will re- 

 ceive a diploma certifying to the same from 

 the department. 



Pruning Schools Also. 



In 1914, the first year pruning schools 

 were offered, twenty-five were held, and in 

 1915 the number increased to forty-seven. 

 As these schools proved to be very bene- 



ficial to the fruit growers, the department 

 has decided to offer them again. 



The department will provide a competent 

 instructor, and pay his expenses. The local 

 administration will be placed in the hands 

 of a responsible local body, who will be re- 

 sponsible for the guarantee of a minimum 

 of eight pupils (but not more than twelve), 

 with the proper qualifications, at a fee of 

 one dollar each, to take ten lessons of three 

 hours a lesson, the school extending over 

 five days. Where the number of pupils in 

 a district justifies, two pruning schools may 

 be arranged for, in -which the minimum 

 guarantee will be sixteen pupils, and not 

 over twenty-four. The local organization 

 also provides an orchard or orchards, where 

 the instructor may hold the pruning classes, 

 and a hall or room in which the lectures 

 may be held. 



Besides the actual practice In the orchard, 

 of which -the course will consist chiefly, 

 where the pupils will prune trees under the 

 supervision of the instructor, there will be 

 lectures on the theory of pruning, which 

 will include talks on pruning as related to 

 the formation pf fruit buds, and to plant 

 growth, also the subject of top-grafting un- 

 desirable varieties will be dealt with, along 

 with many other points of interest. The 

 pupils provide their own pruning tools, the 

 necessary tools being a pair of pruning 

 shears, a saw, and a pocket whetstone.
