The 

 Canadian Horticulturist 



PETERBORO, ONT. 



was so pleased with the pack that they 

 sent in an order for thirty thousand bar- 

 rels for this season, which would cojisti- 

 tute their entire stock. 



J. N. Chute, the London representative, 

 had handled over three hundred thousand 

 barrels for the company on the European 

 market. On the whole, prices received by 

 the company were well above those gen- 

 erally received by the average grower. 



Over three hundred car loads of fer- 

 tilizer had been bought for the members at 

 a total saving of eighteen thousand dollars 

 over previous prices. The total supplies 

 purchased by the company amounted in all 

 to one hundred and fifty-thre« thousand 

 dollars, "which had been paid for in spot 

 cash." 



The members showed their appreciation 

 of the services rendered by those who had 

 charge of the operation of the company by 

 re-electing them to office: President, John 

 Donaldson, Port Williams; recordmg sec- 

 retary, M. B. Davis, Bridgetown ; board of 

 management, chosen from the directors 

 elected by each company, John Donaldson, 

 Port Williams; Fred Johnson, Bridge- 

 town; . E. McMahon, Aylesford ; E. B. 

 White, Berwick. 



Grant for Agricultural Educa- 

 tion 



According to the announcement of the 

 Ontario Department of Agriculture, a rath- 

 er small portion of the one hundred and 

 ninety-five thousand dollars granted by the 

 Federal Government for agricultural pur- 

 poses, will be devoted to the extension of 

 the fruit industry. The largest item, 

 eighty thousand dollars, is to be devoted 

 to the upkeep of the district representa- 

 tives. 



For demonstration work on spraying, 

 pruning and packing of fruits, only three 

 thousand dollars is voted, a diminutive 

 grant when we consider the importance of 

 the fruit industry. In addition, five hun- 

 dred dollars has been voted for lectures on 

 horticulture. The beekeeping industry has 

 been recognized as well worthy of consid- 

 eration, and one thousand dollars has been 

 voted for demonstrations along beekeep- 

 ing lines. 



Fruit Growers Organize 



The number of fruit growers' associations 

 in Ontario has been augmented by tBe 

 formation of an association for the counties 

 of Stormont, Dundas, and Glengarry. 

 The new organization will be known as 

 The St. Lawrence Valley Fruit Growers' 

 Association. Its object is the cooperative 

 selling of fruit, which will consist chiefly 

 of Macintosh red apples. 



At the organization meeting it was de- 

 cided to affiliate with the Provincial Fruit 

 Growers' Association and to make an ex- 

 hibition of apples at the next Ontario Hor- 

 ticultural Exhibition in Toronto. The pre- 

 sident of the new association is W. G. 

 Robertson of Morrisburg; vice-president, 

 L. A. Parisian, of Summerstown ; secre- 

 tary-treasurer, E. T. Bradt, district repre- 

 sentative, Morrisburg. 



The Canadian Horticulturist is very in- 

 teresting. I spend many happy hours 

 reading it. — Thos. K. Hogg, Birkenhead,
