two great purposes. It beautifies your premises 



by giving them that symmetrical, pleasing, orderly

is made of strong, stiff, galvanized wire that will not 

 sag. In addition to galvanizing, every strand is given 

 a coating of zinc enamel paint, thus forming the best K<r'r- 

 possible insurance against rust. Peerless ornamental 

 fence is made in several styles. It 's easy to erect ^. 

 and holds its shape for years. mfif^-'-^-^-'i^'^'

Items of Interest 



At a farmers' club meeting held ai 

 Smithdale, Simcoe county, Ont., on Janu 

 ary 6th, it was decided to organize a co 

 operative fruit growers' society on the linei 

 of the Norfolk Fruit Growers' Association 

 A committee composed of F. E. Webster 

 Ben. Kerr, T. H. Conner, Dan. Carmichael 

 and Lockey Paterson were appointed t( 

 canvass apple growers not present, and t< 

 call a meeting for the purpose of framinj 

 by-laws, and other business. 



In Oregon, fruit growers are required t< 

 maintain their orchards in good conditioi 

 or stand the consequences. Recently everj 

 apple tree in a forty-four acre orchard neai 

 Portland — two thousand eight hundred it 

 all — was cut down by the state fruit in 

 spector and a force of men. The ownei 

 stood by protesting, but was unable to stoj 

 the destruction of his orchard. Neighbor; 

 claimed the trees had every disease knowi 

 to apples. The owner was given a monti 

 in which to comply with the law requiring 

 annual spraying. Failing to do so th< 

 trees were cut down and burned. 



Messrs E. D. Smith & Son, Limited, o\ 

 Winona, Ont., the well-known nurserymen 

 recently forwarded a shipment of a gen 

 eral assortment of the best varieties oi 

 American grape vines to one of the Gov 

 ernment Experimental Stations in Aus- 

 tralia, a shipment of apple trees to Ma- 

 deira, Spain, and a general assortment ol 

 apple, pear, and plum trees and shade 

 trees to Manchuria, China. These ship- 

 ments were arranged and dug with th« 

 utmost care, and the Ontario Govemmeni 

 Inspector, who examined the trees, express- 

 ed the opinion that he had never before 

 seen nursery stock that had been packet 

 so thoroughly or carefully. 



The Canadian Trade Commissioner al 

 Auckland, New Zealand, under date of De- 

 cember 22, 1913, reports as follows : "Tht 

 V'ancouver boats bring large quantities ol 

 apples, and your commissioner accompan- 

 ied the inspector, who said they were a 

 very fine lot. This business is capable ol 

 great expansion. Many boxes of United 

 States apples arrive by each boat, so it is 

 quite evident there is a large demand. The 

 Canadian shipper does not appear able to 

 transact business on a sufficiently extensive 

 scale in this regard." 



At a mass meeting of citizens of Arm- 

 strong held recently, the following resolu- 

 tion was passed : 



"That this meeting is against Chinese oi 

 Orientals owning farm lands within the city 

 of Armstrong, and in the municipality of 

 Spallumchen, and requests owners of farm 

 lands to bind themselves and their heiis 

 and assigns for a period of five years not to 

 sell to Chinese or Orientals nor to lease land 

 to them within that period."
