Although apple prices have been tilgih In 

 the Valley right through the season, the 

 growers are not in an optimistic frame of 

 mind as to the future. More than any other 

 fruit-producing section In Canada we de- 

 pend for our returns on the English market. 

 There In all normal times we have a steady 

 demand and paying prices. The transporta- 

 tion charges are lower than lor any of our 

 competitors, and a farmer with a small 

 orchard can ship direct as well as the larg- 

 est operator. But the whole thing hangs on 

 transportation, and now -with few boats and 

 a prospect of fewer, with freight rates 

 steadily climbing, and no relief in sight until 

 some time after the end of the war, the out- 

 Jook seems anything but rosy 



However, things are not always as bad as 

 they seem, like the old farmer who said 

 that he had had a great many troubles in 

 his life, most of which had never happened. 

 To date it is a fact, as pointed out by the 

 President of the Print Growers' Association 

 in his annual address, that the war has not 

 caused a smaller amount of money to come 

 into the Valley for apples the past two sea- 

 sons. It 'would seem poor economy to 

 neglect the orchard at this stage of the 

 game. No one is setting more trees, how- 

 ever, and the nurserymen are living off the 

 profits of years gone by. 



The debate on Mixed Farming versus 

 Fruit Growing at the recent fruit growers' 

 meeting was more largely attended than 

 any other session of the convention. All 

 classes In the Valley seem to consider that 

 the fruit grower is not doing his duty as 

 his father did before him, In producing beef, 

 butter and 'hogs, in addition to apples. No 

 doubt the cause of all this Interest in the 

 fanner's business is the feeling that if more 

 of these commodities were produced, prices 

 would be easier and the consumer benefit. 

 To the unprejudiced observer, the fact that 

 so many in the Val'.ey are giving more and 

 more attention to orcharding should be prima 

 facie evidence that that is the line where 

 lies the greatest reward for their efforts. 



The new movement In New York to sell 

 fruit by auction has not been suffered to 

 come into being without opposition. At the 

 recent New York State Fruit Growers' Asso- 

 ciation meeting a sirong fight was put up 

 by a number of the large apple growers and 

 buyers to discredit it but the Association 

 stood by the scheme, and pledged apple 

 shipments to auction markets. As that Is 

 the most representative fruit-growers' asso- 

 ciation In the State, this endorsement was 

 very gratifying to auction supporters, and 

 will probably result in a large auction plant 

 being established at Rochester, which. It Is 

 claimed, will save millions to Western N«w 

 York growers. — F. G. H. Pattlson.
