KENTUCKY TOBACCO PRODUCT CO. 



INCORPORATED 



E., Louisville, Ky. 



Scotia fruit, often considerably less than 

 for fruit shipped in the Ontario barrel, is 

 due to the smaller barrel. 



The Ben Davis was largely represented 

 in the shipmcmt on the s.s. Melville. They 

 all arrived in ifood condition, allhouffh some 

 of the apples were not so red as the buyers 

 would like them. The Quebec Snows, ow- 

 inff to the poor keeping- qualities, are al- 

 ways a doubtful shipment, but this year 

 more than usual were shipped from Mon- 

 treal; thev arrived in splendid condition, 

 and for the first few days sold very well 

 but later it was found harder to dispose of 

 them. 



The R-radinR of hU fruit seen here this 

 year could not be improved on. With re- 

 gard to the packing, however, there is room 

 for much improvement in the shipments of 

 all Eastern Canada fruit, especially in the 

 case of boxed apples. The Kings, a var- 

 iety which is an old favorite in South Africa, 

 arrived in the best of condition, but like 

 the Ben Davis, a good many were not 

 colored enough. 



There were not many Wagners on the 

 Melville, although for late shipment this 

 variety is always in good demand. All of 

 this brand were in splendid condition and 

 well colored. 



Both Ontario and Nova Scotia shipped a 

 considerable quantity of Ganos apples in 

 barrels. This variety is preferred to the 

 Ben Davis, and this year's shipment was 

 highlv colored and in the best of condition. 



SOUTH AFRICAN .4PPLE MARKET 



The export to this market of Canadian 

 apples c?n easily be doubled if a serious 

 effort is made to secure the trade. The 

 demand is for a hardv medium-sized highly 

 coloured red apple The season for dehverv 

 in South Africa is October, November, and 

 earlv December: this means shipping at 

 the end of September, October 15th and 

 October 30th at the latest, or two shipments 

 — one about October 5th and the other 

 October 25th. 



All Canadian apples must be sold at the 

 very latest by January 10th, as from that 

 date the South African apple comes on to 

 the market as well as other local fruits, in- 

 cluding pears, peaches, apricots, and 

 grapes. The box apples should be wrapped 

 separately in paper, and should average 

 from 140 to 180 a box. If possible, all fruit 

 should be shipped over rail to the steamer 

 in refrigerator cars. Canadian apple grow- 

 ers and shippers who are satisfied that 

 they can fill orders in accordance with these 

 demands are .requested to communicate 

 early in the year, and they will be placed 

 in touch with South .African firms who are 

 anxious to handle Canadian fruit. 



Organizing a Central 

 Association* 



A. E. Adams, Berwick, N. S' 



I would like to give a few dom'ts for 

 the benefit of any fruit growers who may 

 feel inclined to attempt the organization ■ 

 of a Central Fruit Growers' Association: ¥ 



Don't attempt to obtain legislation with- 

 out first explaining to responsible members 

 of your local legislature the objects of the 

 bill, amd enlisting their support. 



Don't attempt to organize a Cooperative 

 Central Association without the aid of a 

 man thoroughly experienced in such work. 



Don't employ any officials who are not 

 thorough cooperators. 



Don't attempt to run your business with 

 cheap men ; get the best men procurable, 

 and pay them well.
