Lake Erie Apples in England 



Editor, The Canadian Hobiioultubisi : — 

 Since returning from a three month- 

 visit to Great Britain I have read an ;> 

 tide in a well-known agricultural paper 

 Western Ontario that referred very dispa 

 agingly to our Lake Erie apples. For tin 

 reason I write to defend Jlilgin countv 

 apples. 



To refute the article referred to whi 

 coincides also with Chief McNeill's settk 

 idea. I would like to give a history of my 

 apple crop of 1908. Last September 1 

 packed 200 boxes, wrapped and tiered, of 

 fall apples and shipped them with a car 

 of barrelled apples to Liverpool. These 

 went in refrigerator car and refrigerator 

 chambers - in boat all the way from St. 

 Thomas. 



My apples are packed in the orchar' 

 into orchard boxes, which were before • 

 ening piled in my store house where t}i' 

 remained for a day or so before I ecu 

 get them sorted, wrapped in tissue a; 

 tiered in the shipping boxes. They wi 

 hauled by me 12 miles to St. Thomas on 

 hot a day as we had last September, 011 

 broad, low-platform spring waggon, (si 

 7 ft X 14 ft.), three boxes deep, piled - 

 their sides, the load covered with a sin 

 of heavy canvas. At St. Thomas, they wt 

 put at once into the refrigerator car, ti 

 icing charges being paid by our govoi 

 ment. The barrelled apples in the sai 

 car, about 200 barrels, were put up by a 

 other shipper in the usual way. I was t' 

 afterwards by this shipper that my 200 bu: 

 es netted as much as his 200 barrels, boti. 

 lots being sold by the same broker at tht
