Annapolis Valley Notes 



The annual meeting of the Nova Scotia 

 Fruit Growers' Association is looked for- 

 ward to by larg'er and larjfer numbers each 

 year as something that no up-to-date fruit- 

 grower can afford to miss. This associa- 

 tion held their fiftieth convention in Janu- 

 ary at Kentvillc, and had one member pre- 

 sent, Mr. R. W. Starr, of Wolfville, who 

 has been in attendance at every meeting 

 since the Association was organized in 1863. 



In no other place in Canada' is apple scab 

 quite so troublesome and hard to control 

 as in the Annapolis Valley, and the fruit- 

 growers gave the closest attention to Prof. 

 L. Caesar of Guelph, in his address on the 

 "Apple Scab and its Control." Many who 

 had almost despaired in tr>'ing to grow 

 clean apples, had their faith restored after 

 listening to Prof. Caesar, and this coming 

 season will use the spray pump more vigor- 

 ously than ever. The time of application 

 seems to be the vital factor, but thorough- 

 nfss in applying and a gotd pump are also 

 essential. 



.-Ml winter apples bring record breaking' 

 prices, some good number three netting 

 PS hi'^h as three dollars, and number ones 

 from four to six dollars according to var- 

 iety. Like the forty cent eggs, however, 

 the big prices only come when there are 

 few apples to ship. 



The United Companies are just closing 

 th" most successful year since their organi- 

 zation, and have handled no less than sixty 

 ner cent, of the crop of the Valley during 

 the present season. Their next fonvard 

 step will be in th*" direction of some sys- 

 tetm of pre-coolinc^ for fall varieties of 

 apples at their various warehouses. Thou- 

 sands of dollars were lost to the fruit- 

 q-rowers last autumn from the rapid ripen- 

 ing and decay of the softer varieties dur- 

 ing the warm weather of the fall. — M.K.E. 



Okanagan Valley North 



Charles Webster, ArmstroBf, B.C. 



The past season has proved that the 

 "Okanagan United Growers" is thoroughly 

 organized for its purpose — selling and buy- 

 ing cooperatively. It must be said of 

 members in this northern part of the valley 

 that they stood lovally bv their association. 

 Mistakes have nerhaps been made. Oppo- 

 sition from a few established firms, who 

 refused to sell their business, has been 

 keen. This, however, does not alter the 

 fart that the countries or districts where 

 cooperation is established are the most 

 prosperous. .Another year of earnest en- 

 deavor should put the big concern on a 

 thnrouehly satisfactory footing. 



We have a contribution to the high cost 

 iif living: Celerv. for which Armstrong is 

 justly famous throughout Western Canada, 

 realized the growers here %'% and VA cents
