Why Not Cut Off the Two Cars of Filler ? 



It takes 400,000 cars to carry American Fertilizers to our fanners and plant- 

 ers every season. Forty per cent — 2 cars out of 5— of this stufi is Filler, 

 which requires i6o,000 cars ! Order less filler, higher grade and 



Nitrate of Soda 



for your active Nitrogen and save freight bills. 



The greater productive capacity of high-grade fertilizers without so much 

 filler means a greater outbound tonnage for railroads and greater purchasing 

 power for farmers, so that railroads and everybody would be benefited.

Quebec Fruit Growers' Conven- 

 tion 



The annual convention of the Quebec 

 Pomological Fruit Growing Society was 

 held in Westmount, Quebec, during De- 

 cember. In his presidential address, Rev. 

 Father Leojwld, Oka, an illustration of 

 whom appears on page thirty-three of this 

 issue, referred to the light crop of apples 

 last fall in many districts, that had been 

 caused by the unfavorable nature of the 

 season. Tent caterpillars had defoliated 

 many orchards where spraying was not 

 practised. Power sprayers were becoming 

 more popular, eleven now being operated 

 in the province. The orchards of the La 

 Trappe Monastery at Oka last season 

 yielded two thousand five hundred barrels. 

 While many growers have had fair suc- 

 cess leaving trees in sod. Father Leopold 

 stated that it was being demonstrated in 

 the experimental orchards at Rougemont.
