AN IHC MANURE SPREADER MEANS 

 NEW LAND ON THE OLD FARM 



nOHOUSANDS of people during the past year paid fabulous 

 bL prices for new land — gave up their savings and their homes 

 and moved into unknown country just for the sake of securing 

 more productive property. 



Hundreds of farmers found a better plan. They stayed at 

 home and invested in an I H C Manure Spreader a small part of 

 what it would have cost them to move to the new country. 



Now in leisure time during the winter they are returning to 

 the soil the rich fertility that has been drained from it — making 

 new land out of old — putting it into condition to yield bumper crops. 



With an I H C Spreader the manure can be distributed in the 

 proper amount required by the condition of the soil. A light 

 coat, where land is good, a heavy coat where it is most needed. 



IHC Manure Spreaders have many exclusive features which 

 you ought to know about. Years of successful service has shown 

 their superiority. In buying an I H C machine 

 you are assured satisfaction, for they are backed 

 by a company that cannot afford to risk its repu- 

 tation by offering you anything but the best. 



IHC Spreaders are made in two styles — 



Corn King— Clover Leaf 



in varying sizes suitable for any size farm. 



The Corn King is of the return apron type 

 — Cloverleaf Spreaders have endless aprons. 

 Lime hoods for spreading lime and drilling 

 attachments for distributing manure in rows 

 are furnished on special order. 



Let the IHC local dealer tell you all about IHC 

 Spreaders and how you, too, can turn your manure pile 

 into money with one of these simple, efficient machines. 

 Catalogues can be secured from him, or, by writing 

 nearest branch house for them.

Items of Interest 



Mention has already been made in Thb 

 CANADIAN Hokticli,ti;ri8t of the very fine 

 exhibit of British Columbia apples ' 

 wore shewn diiritu; November and I)i < 

 ber in Montreal and Ottawa by the Central 

 Okanagan Lands, Limited, of Kelowna, 

 BC, The apples shown were direct I: 

 the Canadian National Apple show at \ 

 couver and were part of the famou.s . a- 

 hibit from the Kelowna District that won 

 the highest awards. The exceptionally fine 

 eclorinn of the apples, their uniformity 

 and the excellent manner in which they 

 were packed surprised all who saw them 

 and led many of the city peoi)lo who had 

 never seen such apples before to return, 

 bringing friends with them. The varieties 

 shown included : Hubtardston Nonsuch, 

 R. I. Greening, Ontario, Spitzenburg, Haas, 

 Canada Rod, Whit<.' Winter Pearmain, 

 Ribston Pippin, Black Twig, Belle de 

 Boskop, Mcintosh Red, .4kins Red, Bald- 

 win, Paragon, Lady Apple, Yellow New- 

 town, Gano, Wagener, Grimes Golden, 

 King David, Sutton Beauty, Stark, Rome 

 Beauty, Winter Banana, Salome, King of 

 Tompkins, Black Ben Davis, Talman Sweet, 

 Northern Spy, Snow, Delicious, Jonathan, 

 Black Detroit, Ben Davis, Kelowna Se<?d- 

 ling, and Rawle's Janet. The Central Ok- 

 anagan Lands Limited has met with great 

 success in its sale cf land, having sold over 

 $300,000 worth of British Columbia land to 

 parties in Ontario and Quebec since about 

 the first of September. 



Prof. Wallace, the Cornell University 

 expert on lime-sulphur, makes the follow- 

 ing summary of the results of his investi- 

 gations last year on lime-sulphur injury : 



First, that heavy drenching is a common 

 cause of foliage injury. Second, that 

 much of the burning of apple foliage last 

 year following the application just after 

 the blossoms fell was due to previous scab 

 infection of the leaves. Third, that arsen- 

 ate of lead is the only insecticide that w€ 

 yet know which may be used in the lime- 

 sulphur with safety. It not only decreases 

 the burning but actually increases the 

 fungicidal value of the mixture by fifty per 

 cent. Fourth, that injury to the fruit and 

 foliage by lime-sulphur is much less serious 

 than that caused by bordeaux under the 

 same conditions. Fifth, that the addition 

 of lime or the presence of sediment does 

 not materially affect the burning qualitiee 

 of the lime-sulphur one way or the other. 

 Sixth, that cultivate<l, vigorous trees wiU 

 withstand foliage injury better than trees 

 in neglected orchards. 



A meeting was held in Rochester, re- 

 cently, in connection with the New York 

 Fruit Growers' Association and approved 

 by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, 

 Michigan Pomological Society, New Jersey 

 State Horticultural Society, Adams County, 

 Pa., Pomological Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion and the Western New York Horticul- 

 tural Association to secure legislation, both 

 state and national tending to raise the 

 grades and standards and improve the 

 methods of packing all fruits and to secure 

 uniform state legislation with regard to 

 size of packages. 



I am very much impressed with The Can- 

 adian Horticulturist as I find some very 

 interesting information therein. — Leonard
