Better Cultivation 



Increases the yield. It retains the 

 moisture in the ground and permits 

 the chemical properties of the air to 

 get to the roots. The size of the 

 increase depends upon the number 

 of times you cultivate and the kind 

 of a machine you use.

mary of recommendations for control of 

 Powdery Scab are j^iven : 



Use only "seed" from a crop free from 

 the disease. 



Disinfect such "seed" to destroy any 

 stray disease germs. 



Use land known to be free from the dis- 

 ease. In most areas this will have to be 

 land not previously planted to potatoes. 



Do not plant potatoes again in lamd 

 which has shown the disease. If possible, 

 seed such land down to grass. 



Isolate the crop from any field showing 

 the disease, and take all possible precau- 

 tions to avoid the spores from this crop 

 scattered where they infect other potatoes. 



Pay special attention to the cleaning, 

 and, if necessary, di<iinfectioin of imple- 

 ments which may carry the disease. 



The Fruit Trade with 

 South Africa 



Reporting from South .'Africa to the De- 

 partmemt of Trade and Commerce, Trade 

 Commissioner W. J. Egan, stationed at 

 Cape Town, writes as follows in regard to 

 Canadian apples shipped to that market 

 last fall : 



Opinion among the various dealers varies 

 in reference to Canadian apples received in 

 South ."Africa this year. Durban dealers 

 report grading and packing of Nova Scotia 

 fruit to be all right in every particular. 

 They complain, however, that Nova Scotian 

 Kings and Wagners on the whole were a 

 great disappointment, as they were poor in 

 color and in keeping qualities. The On- 

 tario fruit, such as Ben Davis, Kings, Rus- 

 sets, and Spies left nothing to be desired. 



Port Elizabeth dealers were well satisfied 

 with consignments to them, but state that 

 they did not receive all they had arranged 

 for, one large dealer claiming that although 

 he booked space early last May, he failed 

 to secure accommodation for his second 

 shipment. 



A SPLENDID M.ARKET 



The apples which arrived in Cape Town 

 were, with the exception of one lot of Gol- 

 den Russets on the s.s Benguela, in very 

 good condition, but were not graded in all 

 cases as they should be for export. The 

 difference in grading of apples received in 

 Cape Town and other ports must be at- 

 tributed to the fact that almost all the 

 apples shipped to this port are purchased 

 by local dealers, who visit Canada annually, 

 while the fruit to other ports is consigned 

 by Canadian producers or dealers.' 



The South .African market during Octo- 

 ber, November, amd December is a splendid 

 one for good Canadian apples, and will 

 command high prices. This office invites 

 early correspondence this year with a view 

 of consignments for next year and advise 

 the securing of space in cold storage i ham- 

 bers early in the season.
