The fruit industry has developed ,to such 

 au extent hereabout as to exclude almost 

 any other line of agriculture, especially on 

 all garden soil such as we find to prevail 

 just below the famous Niagara Escarpment 

 between Niagara and Burlington Heights. 

 Our wagon makers are making a specialty 

 of a class of strong fruit drays, some light 

 ones for one horse, carrying about a ton, 

 others heavy two-horse, carrying t>vo or 

 three tons. One iirm has made up hundreds 

 of these useful vehicles, which have now 

 become almost indispensible to the fruit 

 grower. 



The canning factories here are obliged 

 to compete with shipping oonnjauies over 

 Iruit prices. There are two large factories 

 at Grimsby, for example, ana several siiip- 

 ping companies, of which the largest is the 

 Ontario <k Western. This comijany ships 

 in car lots all over the Ooniinioii and espe- 

 cially throughout the Northwest. This sea- 

 son they paid forty-five cents for eleven- 

 quart baskets of Bartlett pears, and the 

 factories about the same, and 1 thought it 

 best to take this certainty rather than to 

 export to Scotland with the hope of getting 

 more. 



1 began picking and packing apples on 

 the eighteenth of September this year, just 

 as soon as I finished with Bartlett & Kl- 

 Lerta peaches. They have ripened a little 

 earlier than usual. I have just sold one 

 carload to go to Manitoba and I believe that 

 before many years almost all our fruit will 

 be going to our great Northwest. 



Items of Interest 



Prize lists are being distributed for the 

 second annual New Brunswick Apple Ex- 

 hibition, which will be held in St. John, 

 N.B., from October 30th to November 2nd 

 under the auspices of the New Brunswick 

 Fruit Growers' Association and the New 

 Brunswick Department of Agriculture. The 

 first exhibition, held last year, proved such 

 a success the fruit growers of the province 

 were much encouraged, and it is expected 

 that this year's exhibition will show a still 

 further improvement. 



The first consignment of peaches ever 

 received in London, England, from the 

 United States was sold there last month. 

 It comprised two thousand cases of peaches 

 from the Wenatchee Valley, Washington. 

 The Ontario peaches were the only peaches 

 that had previously reached London from 

 thl? side of the Atlantic. 



The Dominion Government has instruct- 

 ed its fruit inspectors in Western Canada 

 to see that all United States fruit boxes 

 that are below the Canadian standard in 

 size must in the future be stamped "short." 

 Many of the United States boxes have false 

 bottoms and are considerably smaller in 

 other ways than the Canadian boxes, but 

 peddlers and dealers in the past have made 

 no distinction between them and the larger 

 Canadian boxes. 



The fruit inspection service of the Domin- 

 ion Government has been organized for the 

 present season. Two additional inspectors 

 have been appointed, one to be located at 

 Saskatoon, Sask., and the other in Western 

 Ontario. Mr. W. W. Brown has been made 

 senior inspector and will give special at- 

 tention to the work at Montreal and the 

 Lake Ontario section. Mr. P. J. Carey, 

 in addition to his duties as fruit inspector, 

 will devote a part of his time to demonstra- 

 tions and instruction in box packing. Ar- 

 rangements are being made for him to visit 

 Nova Scotia in that connection.
