keyaote was that apple growers in Norfolk 

 County should produce apples of good qual- 

 ity and then look for good average prices 

 ill such fruit during the coaning sea^'-'i '"H 

 for some years to come. 



That the Uomlniooi Canners losi .,lu.w. 

 last season is apparent from their annual 

 report for the year iyi5, submitted at tlip 

 annual meeting lield in the head oflic 

 Hamilton, on March 1st. This showed a 

 loss for the year of $i94,438, as against a 

 profit in 1914 of 1330,858, in 1913, H66,415, 

 and in 1912, $503,409. I am informed on 

 good authority that to break even this com- 

 ing season is the best they can expect. 



For having in his possession three boxes 

 of apples packed contrary to the Inspection 

 and Sales Act, Frank Everett was fined $10 

 and costs in the Toronto Police Court by 

 Magistrate Kingsford recently. The magis- 

 trate described the offence as beiog very 

 seHous, as it was against the good name of 

 Canada. 



Several meetings on the question of ajual- 

 gamation of the fruit growers and dealers 

 of the Niagara District in one central or- 

 gainization, were held during the past month 

 both at St. Caitharines and Grimsby. It was 

 decided that, as the system of marketing In 

 the Western portion is different from that 

 adopted at St. Catharines and East, that it 

 •would be better for each to organize separ- 

 ately for the present. Accordingly, the 

 coiamittee appointed to organize District 

 •No. 1, from Hamilton to the Sixteen Mile 

 Creek, east of Jordan, is still going on with 

 its work drafting the by-laws, etc., and pre- 

 paring for organization. 



Tomato growers around Grimsby predict 

 that the Canning factories will have to pay 

 30 cents per bushel for tomatoes before the 

 season comes to a close. They base their 

 predictions on the grounds that tomatoes 

 cannot be grown for 25 cents, and that the 

 factories must have them next fall. 



The fruit growers in Genesee and Monro 

 counties. New York State, are complaining 

 of great damage done to their fruit orchards 

 by the Leaf Roller. 



A number of box packing and pruning 

 demonstrations are being held in Went- 

 worth county. On 'March '22nd, one was held 

 at Waterdown, and on March 33rd at Dun- 

 das. 



Sugar is advancing in price again and 

 will probably be very high by the time fruit 

 comes in. This situation during the past 

 two years has been a serious detriment to 

 the tender fruit industry.
