are natural fertilizers, made from 

 animal blood, bones and trimmings, 

 and other recog-nized high-grade fer- 

 tilizing agents. 



Davies' Fertilizers 



are also high-grade. It's merely a 

 choice between them and Harab

the producer. These apples could have 

 been placed on board car at the least pos- 

 sible cost, in bulk form, and conveyed to 

 the cities, and given to the consumer at a 

 much lower price than he is paying. Last 

 week the city council of Ottawa imported 

 a car of apples from western Ontario, some 

 400 miles distant, giving the apples to the 

 consumers at a price of $1.30 for the con- 

 tents of a barrel delivered in their cellars. 

 A single notice in the papers was sufficient 

 to sell the car before it arrived. Thus the 

 producer got a fair price for his apples 

 and the consumer got his fruit at less than 

 half what he was paying for expensive 

 packages when he bought through the re- 

 gular channels of trad*. This year at 

 least twice as many apples could have been 

 used had tra.nsportation charges and the 

 net profits of the producer been the only 

 costs to the consumer. This question 

 opens a great field for operation, and I 

 trust that the thought and energies of our 

 progressive growers and organizations will 

 be concentrated on an effort to eliminate 

 the cost of operation between producer and 

 consumer. Something along the line work- 

 ed out by the city of Ottawa would, I am 

 sure, be worthy of most careful attention. 

 If we do not take some steps to increase 

 consumption, over-production will soon 

 result. 



Our Cooperative Fruit Growers' Associa- 

 tion made the mistake during its first year 

 of operation of not watching its pack of 

 fruit closely enough. The result was the 

 fruit did not realize more than individual 

 packers were able to obtain for their ap- 

 ples, amd our pack got a black eye, which 

 gave us quite a set-back. The following 

 year we improved our pack and succeeded 

 in obtaining 50 cts. a barrel more than in- 

 dividual packers and our pack was so su- 

 perior to theirs we had no difficulty in dis- 

 posing of it in considerable quantities.—

 speaking at the last Dominion Fruit Con- 

 ference. 



A free short course in horticulture will be 

 held at Macdonald College, February 8th to 

 12th inclusive. It is intended to give prac- 

 tical information on fruit growing and vege- 

 table gardening to business men and far- 

 mers who have not the time to devote to a 

 longer course. In addition to the regular 

 lectures, considerable time will be given to 

 a discussion of different subjects and the 

 answering of questions.
