Fruit Growers' Convention 



The program for the annual convention 

 of the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association 

 had not reached us at the time of going to 

 press, and we are therefore unable to give 

 the date of the convention which will be 

 held in Toronto during the week of the On- 

 tario Horticultural Exhibition, November 

 14 to 18. Programs may be obtained from 

 the secretary, P. W. Hodgetts, Toronto. 

 Mr. Hodgetts writes us that arrangements 

 have been made for a special session devot- 

 ed to peaches with particular attention be- 

 ing paid to peach diseases. The speakers 

 mil include a couple of exports from across 

 the line, who have been fighting the Little 

 Peach particularl.v in recent years. 



Another session will be devoted to profits 

 in orcharding with paii;icular reference to 

 apples. Mr. W. F. Kydd of Simcoe will 

 speak on the neglected orchards of Ontario, 

 while Prof. J, W. Crow of Guelph will take 

 up the resufe of the orchard surveys which 

 show very distinctly the profits that can be 

 made and the methods that are being 

 adopted by the most up-to-date growers to 

 sectire these profits. 



Another session will be set aside to dis- 

 cuss matter that are likely to be taken up 

 at the Dominion Fruit Conference to be 

 held next winter.
