Helping the Grower. 



Speaking at a meeting of fruit grow- 

 er.s in Lambton County recently. Direc- 

 tor F. M. Clement, of tlie Vineland 

 Horticultural Experimental Station, stated 

 in conjuaction with the vegetable growers' 

 associations they had grown with fair suc- 

 cess a quantity of 'beet, carrot and onlou 

 seed. Certain roots had been selected as 

 parent stock from which to develop strains. 

 A quantity of this seed was being tested for 

 germination, and if found good will be dis- 

 tributed to members of the vegetable 

 growers' associations for test. The to- 

 mato seed selection work was also develop- 

 ing favorably. Twenty-five varieties are 

 under test. In the Niagara Peninsula fruit 

 growers had made many mistakes. They 

 had planted indiscriminately without 

 thought of markets, and though they had 

 met with success it was only through the 

 marketing agencies that what might have 

 proved a glut of fruit had been marketed 

 this year. 



Fruit Problems Discussed, 

 Prof. J. W. Crow, of the Ontario Agricul- 

 tural College, said: "The apple orchard la 

 Western Ontario is a side line and does not 

 get uniformly good care and attention year 

 after year. There is an excellent opening 

 for growers who will plant a larger acre- 

 age of good varieties and stay with their 

 orchards consistently one year after another. 

 Many troubles arise from the fact that we 

 do not grow enough apples, or rather that 

 our units of production are too small. I be- 

 lieve there is every encouragement for the 

 planting of orchards of from twenty to fifty 

 or sixty acres. 



"One of the most serious orchard troubles 

 in Ontario 1.s winter killing. This may take 

 the form of root killing, bark splitting or 

 of Injuries similar to the sun scald. The 

 greatest contributing cause of winter kill- 

 ing Is late growth of trees caused by late 

 cultivation, lack of cover crop, or perhaps 

 by poor drainage of the soil. Apple, pear, 

 plum and cherry trees of bearing age shoula 

 not be cultivated after July 1st in any year. 

 Peaches should not be tilled after July 15th 

 In any case. Sow a quick-growing cover crop 

 at the last cultivation. Oats, rye and vetch 

 or red clover are good. This cover crop 

 ripens the tree growth, and a cardinal aim 

 of the fruit grower Is to secure mature, 

 well-ripened wood In order to Insure winter 

 hardiness. My own preference Is for plow- 

 ing orchards In the fall, but not too early. 

 The latter part of October or beginning of 

 November Is early enough. On light land, 

 especially If wind swept, fall plowing might 

 be risky, but on clay land It effects a great 

 saving of 'time In the spring."
