way interfere with the work to he done in 

 the ci chard. The Superintendent does only 

 rurh orchard work as directed by the secre- 

 tary of the joint-committee, Mr. Peter 

 Reid. He is given instructions in detail re- 

 garding the demonstration work, and «s 

 held responsible for the proper carrying on 

 of the work. Monthly orchard meetings 

 may Le arranged as thought necessary by 

 the joint-committee, and the expenses will 

 be paid from the $800 grant. 



Should tho co-operative society wish to 

 secure spraying materials, commercial fer- 

 tilizers or fruit packages in a wholesale 

 way, arrangements will be made, if con- 

 sidered advisable, for the Superintendent to 

 procure and take pay for such material at 

 some central place, twice a week. The 

 Superintendent is to kfeep a careful report 

 of all the time spent in the various opera- 

 tions, and the date on which the work was 

 done. Tho Superintendent is paid $70 per 

 month from April to November 1st. 



Kighty trees of fairly uniform size and of 

 one quality are required, and two plot* of 

 cultivated area and two plots of uncultivat- 

 ed area, or forty trees, are to be manured 

 in the spring at the rate of twelve tons of 

 good stable manure per acre. One plot of 

 cultivated and one plot of uncultivated 

 areas will not bo fertilized. All of the grass 

 on the uncultivated area will be cut when 

 six inches high and allowed to remain on the 

 ground as a mulch. 



All of the trees will be sprayed in the 

 spring before the buds break with lime- 

 sulphur. Bordeaux mixture wil be used on 

 all plots except two, one being the culti- 

 vated and the other the uncultivated man- 

 ure plot, where lime-suplhur only will be 

 used entirely. The trees will all be sprayed 

 with arsenate of lead except on one-half of 

 the unfertilized cultivated and one-half of 

 the unfertilized uncultivated plots, where 

 Paris green will be used. 



Four demonstration orchards and co- 

 operative societies have been organized, 

 namely the St. Hilaire, Albotsford, St. 

 Joseph du Lac, and Havelock. 



A Big Orchard Concern 



The advertisement of the National Land 

 xTuit and Packing Co., Limited, has ap- 

 peared in some of the English horticultural 

 and other publications offering for sale 

 160,000 seven per cent, preference shares 

 and 100,000 ordinary shares of £1, or ap- 

 proximately $5 each. The company is 

 capitalized at $1,250,000. 



In its announcement the company stales 

 that it was formed in 1910 chiefly for the 

 purpose of producing and marketing apples 

 grown in the province of Ontario, and that 

 for this purpose it has acquired established 

 orchards containing over 140,000 bearing 

 trees, constituting what is believed to be 

 the largest apple producing property in the 

 world under one ownership. The company 

 owns 9,115 acres, of which 5,377 are free- 

 holds and 3,738 are leaseholds, situated on 

 or near the shores of the Great Lakes. The 

 company proposes to acquire further speci- 

 ally located freehold orchard lands from 

 time to time, and during this and several 

 succeeding seasons to plant upwards of one 

 thousand acres per annum with selected 

 standard apple trees, of which a large num- 

 ber will be early varieties. 



The company proposes also to establish a 

 number of manufacturing plants close to 

 each group of properties, and all apples 

 which are not marketable in the ordinary 

 manner will be sent to these factories and 

 treated by evaporation or other processes. 

 It is estimated that upwards of 12,000 tons 

 of apples will be treated in this way this 

 season.
