tion for the flrst three years ol its exist- 

 ence and his able loadiTship did much to 

 r.lace it on a Arm basis. He was Huccoeded 

 by I. W. Stephenson, of .Sheffield Academy, 

 Sunbury County, who held office In 1910 

 and 1909. C. N. Vrooin. of St. Stephen, 

 Charlotte County, was president from 1910 

 to 1913; S. B. Hathaway, Kingsclear, York 

 County, in 1914 and 1918; H. H. Smith, 

 IXoyt Station, Sunbury County, in 1915 and 

 1916; R. A. Fillmore, Burton, Sunbury 

 County, in 1917; Col. O. W. Wetmore, Clif- 

 ton, Kings County, in 1919; A. R. Gorham. 

 Grey's Mills, Kings County, in 1920; and 

 W. B. Gilman, Fredericton, York County, 

 in 1921. 



Henry Wilmot, of Lincoln, Sunbury 

 County, was treasurer from 1904 until 1914, 

 when the office was combined with the sec- 

 retaryship. S. B. Hathaway was' secretary 

 for some years prior to 1910, when A. G. 

 Turney was appointed to that office and 

 has held it to the present date. 



The record of membership is as follows: 

 34 in 1905; 37 in 1906; 37 in 1907; 30 in 

 1908; 24 in 1909; 79 in 1910; 115 in 1911; 

 72 in 1912; 113 in 1913; 122 in 1914; 91 in 

 1915; 110 in 1916; 151 in 1917; 128 in 1918; 

 170 in 1919; 203 in 1920; 187 in 1921. 



Encouraged by the active sympathy and 

 generous support of the N.B. Department 

 of Agriculture, the association has steadily 

 shown greater activity and usefulness, as 

 evidenced by the increase in membership. 

 To-day it is a very important and influen- 

 tial factor in the policy of encouraging the 

 development and advancement of fruit 

 growing in New Brunswick. 



The advance made in the cooperative 

 supply business carried on by the associa- 

 tion is shown by the following figures:

1920 1,340.95 14,615.45 



1921 1,690.97 8,691.09 



Althougn these figures are small as com- 

 pared with the supply business of some 

 fruit grower?' organizations, they show a 

 very mark»?d increase and iuter'>st in the 

 business the last five years. The larger 

 value of the supplies handled in 1920 is 

 due to the fact that the entire barrel sup- 

 ply for our members was handled through 

 the association. 



In 1919 the association was incorporated 

 under special charter of the legislature, 

 empowering it to carry on a general cooper- 

 ative business, both as to purchasing and 

 selling, and it now receives an annual 

 grant of $200 from the New Brunswick De- 

 partment of Agriculture. 



Fruit in P. E. Island, 1921 



J. A. Clark, Supt., Exp. Farm, Charlottetown 



THE spring of 1921 opened early; the 

 snow was gone by the 17th of April, 

 and spring work commenced on the 

 27th of April, two weeks earlier than usual. 

 On May 18th, the trees appeared green; 

 this was 10 days ahead of other years. The 

 strawberries wintered well, and the small 

 bush fruits escaped injury from the early 

 frosts. The spring weather was favorable 

 for all fruits; the early summer drought, 

 which extended to the 15th of July, retard- 

 ed the growth of large fruits, and consider- 

 ably reduced the yield of strawberries after 

 the second picking. 



Small Fruits. 

 Black currants, which bloomed on the 

 19th of May, set well, and gave a good crop 

 of ripe fruit on the 27th of July. Red cur- 

 rants bloomed on the 23rd of May, and vrere 

 ready for picking on the 21st of July. They 

 gave a much heavier yield than the black, 

 but there is a very poor market for them, 

 and the price is low. White currants came 

 into bloom on the 22nd of May, and gave a 

 yield quite equal to that of the red currants
