A Canadian Fruit Grower Travels 
(Continued from page 1512) 
Mr. .Teneks has at present to grow some 
truck and small fruit to finance opera¬ 
tions. and this interferes with thinning. 
To grow the very tiptop quality of ap¬ 
ples a man must be single-eyed' in his 
devotion to them. Mr. Jencks used lime- 
sulphur ou part of his orchard and Bor¬ 
deaux on another part. Ilis Bordeaux 
part was rusted a little, and the leaves 
a bit damaged. 1 told him of the Nova 
Scotia Bordeaux formula, in which he 
was much interested', as, he says, ou ac¬ 
count. of the development of a rot dis¬ 
ease. Massachusetts growers will be com¬ 
pelled to use copper sulphate in some 
form. This rot shows as large spots on 
the apples, with well-defined rings on the 
edges of the rot. and affect6 the tree as 
badly as tlie fruit. This grower is one 
of the most alert men I have come across, 
lie is operating a roadside stand, and is 
interested in another, also running a 
home canning outfit to take care of his 
surplus, and about to start a pasteurizing 
plant for apple juice. This year his crop 
will he about 8.000 bushels of apples, of 
which 2.000 bushels will he Gravenetein. 
Mr. Marshall showed me over the place 
which his father had started. I have 
heard a great deal of the efficiency of the 
Marshalls, and think it. is justified by 
results. The oldest of the orchards ap¬ 
pears to be about 35 years, Baldwin and 
McIntosh, alternately. They have start¬ 
ed to cut down Baldwin trees where they 
arc crowding. _ I remarked my doubts 
whether Delicious would grow large 
enough to be highly profitable, so far 
north, but Mr. Marshall said with their 
system of thinning the size was all right. 
With four sprays up to August 18, the 
apples were perfect. Of course, the trees 
were low-headed and beautifully thinned. 
The Marshalls have a fine cork insulator, 
ammonia system, cold storage to hold 
20.000 boxes, which is run by electricity. 
The orchard foliage was a little affected 
by leaf-hopper. Last year’s crop was 37.- 
000 boxes. 
A. R. .Teneks of West Acton was the 
hnrtieular adviser for the County of Mid¬ 
dlesex. Mass., and has recently started 
for himself as a. fruit grower. Ilis or¬ 
chard is located on land where the trees, 
even in sod. grow luxuriously.

Thrashing of oats is pretty well under 
way. with a good yield per acre. Buck¬ 
wheat is being cut, and seems to be filled 
well. Corn is late, but big growth, and 
some silo#; are being filled. Potatoes 
promise a good yield, with about the usual 
acreage. A very little late blight has 
api eared the past week, and some rot is 
reported. More farm auctions and sales 
o r stock and tools than usual for this time 
of the year, with cows selling rather low— 
840 to $00 for strippers and $100 to $150 
for springers, grade Holsteins. E. P.

The price of almost everything is very 
low. in regard to farm produce. Hay. 
$20; potatoes are the best crop that has 
been raised around here for a good many 
years. They are selling now around $1.50 
per bu., with very few buyers. Apples 
are also very plenty; 75c a V>-bu. basket. 
Oats a good crop: around 80c to $3.00 
per bu. Corn looks to he a very good 
crop. Hogs, dressed. $22 per 100 lbs. 
Milk is the main farmers’ production; 
$4.08 for 4 per cent test: that also being 
a drag ou the market, being very hard to 
find sale f<>r it. Good times are about 
over is the belief of many farmers, until 
prices are readjusted. J. s.
