large to be handy among the limbs of the tree. 

 The other hand remains free to hold the twigs 

 and bend in the Hmbs or steady the operator. 

 The maker says tliat he got the idea from the 

 rabliit's mouth, with the incisors for cutting and 

 the cheeks to retain. Necessary modifications 

 were made to adapt it to the work that it was 

 expected to accomjiUsh. The cutting edges rass 

 like shears, and are about 1J4 in- wide. The 

 attached tin cup holds about a pint, and is 

 easily emptied into a basket or nest of boxes 

 hung in the tree or on the ladder. The few 

 leaves and faulty fruit can be thrown out as it 

 is emptied. This device can al.so be used to 

 advantage in gathering currants. It is claimed 

 that one oi)erator can gather 150 to 200 lbs. per 

 day.

distributed. While the Toronto market may 

 be overwhelmed with supplies, there are scores 

 of towns and villages throughout Canada where 

 a good, fair price could be had for this fruit if 

 the buyers and sellers could be got together 



There are fruit growers in Ontario who have 

 developed along this line and have no trouble 

 in disposing of all the fruit they can grow or 

 buy in this manner, never touching the big 

 centres. 



TKe Disastrous Glut 



Nothing is more trying to the hard-working 

 fruit grower, after having overcome the on- 

 slaughts of the insect world, and escaped the 

 terrors of the late frost, the driving hail-storm 

 or the ruinous wind, and having brought to 

 perfection a fine crop of fruit, to find that all his 

 care has been in vain, for the fact that all his 

 neighbors have been equally successful and the 

 market is glutted. To see his fruit rot under 

 his trees or sold for next to nothing at the auction 

 block, is a bitter pill. 



The remedy, however, is not far to seek. The 

 fruit grower must not depend on fortune and 

 follow in the wake of the crowd. He must do as 

 other producers, other manufacturers do — seek 

 out new markets for himself. 



It is a well-grounded fict that there is not 

 more than enough fruit produced in Canada 

 every year to meet our requirements if properly
