two great purposes. It beautifies your premises

eflfective resistance against marauding animals, etc. 



Peerless Ornamental Fencing 



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

Items of Interest 



Prof. T. D. Jarvis. B.S..\., for some years 

 past Associate Professor of Entomology at 

 the Ontario -Agricultural College, has re- 

 signed his position to take up active farming 

 operations on his property in the Grimsby 

 district. His resignation has resulted in a 

 rearrangement of the work of the Depart- 

 ment and general promotions. L. Caesar is 

 promoted from the position of lecturer U> 

 that of associate professor, and A. VV. 

 Baker, who has been demonstrator, is madi 

 lecturer in fungus diseases and insects. G 

 J. Spencer, a graduate of the 1914 class, who 

 has taken a special interest in entomological 

 work, has been appointed demonstrator in 

 succession to Mr. Baker. These appoint- 

 ments went into effect on the first of July. 



At the annual conference of the Ministers 

 of Agriculture in the Australian slates, 

 opened at Brisbane during the summer, it 

 was resolved that "what is known as the 

 Canadian standard fruit case be included in 

 the list of Australian fruit cases already ac- 

 cepted by the authorities.— i.e., that fruit 

 imported from Canada, packed in standard 

 cases, could be sold in Australia without re- 

 packing. Should the New South Wales 

 Government decide to give effect to the re- 

 soluti'on passed by the conference, in time 

 for the Canadian export season of 19U, 

 cabled advices will be forwarded to the De- 

 partment of Trade and Commerce. Ottawa, 

 front which Canadian shippers will bi- 

 advised. 



-About fifty prominen; fruit growers of the 

 Grimsby District in Ontario met recently, 

 and decided to appeal to the Railway Com- 

 mission in reference to the poor service 

 that has been given the frui. growers of 

 that district this year by the Canadian 

 Express Company. It is claimed that the 

 delay in shipments through 'o Montreal has 

 cost thousands of dollars. Growers who 

 shipped to Vipond & Company, of Montreal, 

 claim that the delay and the way the ship- 

 ments were handled, resulted in a ten thou- 

 sand dollar loss in two days.

Reports which are coming in from the 

 English fruit growing districts tend to in- 

 dicate that this season's apple crop will be 

 a short one. Frost has been the main set- 

 back, but drought and insect pests _have 

 also been harmful.
