Apples in Nova Scotia. — The best apple crop in America 

 this year was in Canada, especially in Nova Scotia, where it 

 was large. The following sketch of the development of the 

 apple industry in that province is given by Attorney General 

 Longley in the Canadian Magazine: "The probable acreage in 

 fruit culture in the Annapolis valley in 1860 was about 2,500 

 acres. Most of these orchards, however, were old and not prop- 

 erly cared for, and were producing in a very limited way and 

 only a few varieties and an inferior quality of fruit. The total 

 acreage at present is estimated at 12,800 acres, with at least 

 8,000 acres covered with young trees which have not yet begun 



*It should be said that these figures do not represent the total 

 exportations of the crops of the given years, but only the movements 

 up to the close of the years, at which time the records for the Annals 

 are made up.
