"tJERE is why the owners 

 of the biggest barns in 

 Canada choose Neponset 

 Paroid Roofing: 



"Slowly made" roofings are the only kind 

 that wear out slowly. You can't make 

 good roofinK quickly. Rush the manufac- 

 ture and you get "patchy," uncertain 

 products. Omit tests and inspections and 

 you get roofing products quick to "run" in 

 summer — quick to become brittle in winter 

 —quick to start a leak— quick to wear out 

 altogether. 



Get "Neponset Roofings"— the "slowly 

 made " kind. Nothing skipped. Nothing 

 skimped. Every dollar's cost gives a dol- 

 lar's worth of durability. Any one can 

 easily lay them. They are the finest kind 

 of insurance against repair bills— fire — and 

 all roofing troubles.

Apple Trade Statistics 



Dtirinfi- the season of 1913, two million 

 nine hundred and six thousand, four hun- 

 dred barrels of apples were g-rown in the 

 Dominion, according: to statistics compiltd 

 by the Department of Trade and Com- 

 merce. Of this total, two million barrels 

 were grown in the Provimce of Ontario, or 

 over two-thirds of all the apples produced 

 in the country. 



Recently Canadian apples have been realiz- 

 ing very high prices in the British mar- 

 kets, and it was reported that in Glasgow, 

 Ontario Baldwins set a wholesale price of 

 two dollars and seventy-five cents a box, 

 and seven dollars and ninety cents a bar- 

 rel. During March at a public auction in 

 Liverpool, fifty-three barrels of Ntimber one 

 Spies from an Ontario packer brought as 

 high as eight dollars and fifty cents a bar- 

 rel. 



.According to reports received from the Do- 

 minion Fruit Inspectors, the quantity of 

 Ontario and Nova Scotia apples received 

 west of the Great Lakes in 1913-14, was as 

 follows : From Ontario oee hundred and 

 seventy-eight thousand eight hundred and 

 thirty-two barrels ; Nova Scotia, nineteen 

 hundred and eighty barrels. In the Ontario 

 estimate, twenty-one thousand, eight hun- 

 dred boxes are included, compared with six 

 thousand -five hundred boxes in 1912-13.

The first aphides were found crawling on 

 apple buds on May 8th, but there being so 

 few or only one on a bud, they were hardly 

 visible to the naked eye. However, an ex- 

 amination under the glass showed that the 

 orchards were badly infested, but as aphides 

 are very susceptible to changes of temper- 

 ature things may not prove so bad as ex- 

 pected. We have had a cold, long spring, 

 with frequent showers, which may check 

 their development ; should the temperature 

 become warm and moist we may expect an 

 enormous increase of the pest. The far- 

 mers are now on the alert and the United 

 Fruit Companies have disposed of ome 

 thousand six hundred dollars' worth of 

 "Black Leaf 40," and still have had to 

 order more. Last year they handled only 

 fifty dollars' worth. Young trees which 

 were attacked by aphides last season are 

 weak and lacking in fiuit buds, where they 

 have not been killed the growth has been 

 arrested.
