APPLES LEAD 



Apples, however, are still the leadil 

 fruit of Lambton, and many thousands 

 trees are being planted every year. In tl 

 past the apple orchards were largely n 

 sleeted, and but little interest was taken 

 thorn, but now all is chaiigd. The o 

 apple orchards are being plouphed up ar 

 the trees pruned and sprayi-d until nn 

 many of the finest apple orchards of tl 

 province are to be found here, some wit 

 an annual output of thousands of b-irrel 

 besides large quantities of other fruit. Tl 

 varieties oliiefly grown are the Baldwii 

 Spy, R. I. Greening, King, and Golde 

 Russett. 



In addition to the larger fruits berri 

 and vegetables are extensively grown, ai 

 find a ready market in the north, wi1 

 which direct communication is given 1 

 boats sailing straight north from Sarni 

 the port of Lambton. 



Up to the present the county has bet 

 free from real estate booms. Its success 

 due entirely to the development of i 

 natural re.sources. Here land suitable f 

 growing peaches or any other kind of fru 

 can be bought at prices ranging from fif' 

 dollars to one hundred dollars an acr 

 according to its situation, and practical 

 all of which is ready for planting. 



Lambton has no less than six cooperati' 

 fruit gi-owing associations, all working : 

 harmony with each other and promoting ; 

 best they can the fruit growing industr. 

 In addition to this there are three jarj 

 canning factories with the prospect of ot 

 ers next season, also ten large up-to-dai 

 evaporators, which are rushed to their u 

 most capacity to handle the lower grades ■ 

 apples. 



In view of th^ success already attain* 

 and climatic conditions pas.sessed, we loc 

 forward with confidence to be in the nei 

 future a second- Niagara, a district U 

 which we have the greatest admiration. A\ 

 gratefully acknowledge the public spirit ( 

 its leading citizens, to whom we owe muc 

 for their unfailing efforts to help us o 

 the highway to success. — D. Johnsoi 

 Forest, Unt. 



At the short course held last month t 

 the Guelph Agricultural College, at wkic 

 were present representatives -from tie di: 

 ferent cooperative fruit growers' associj 

 tions, it was agreed that Ontario shoul 

 have a central organization for the PurPO* 

 of handling the fruit crop in larger bull 

 The fruit grower would thus realize bette 

 returns without any increase in cost to ooi 

 sumer. The following were anointed as 

 committee to bring albout tliis consolids 

 tion: P. W. Hodgetts; Rcht. Thompson, Si 

 Catharines; Elmer Lick. Oshawa; Ro 

 Carev, Hamilton; C. W. Gurney, of Pani
