Pollard, Seeretary of West Durham Board of Agriculture, presided over tbe me ýting lu the Council Rooni, Bowmanville, ou Saturda-y afteruoon, The room was well filled and keen in- terest was sbowu iu the addr;esses by the Government speakers, mau v questions be- iug asked and profitable discussions took place. Mr. W. F. Kydd, Fruit Specialist, Tor- onto, diseussed iutelligently the manage- ment of apple orchards, a subject of paramount interest lu this district, which Mr. Kydd said is the best apple section iu this Province. He stron-gly adviscd tborough mauuring of orebards with good, barnyard manure, not necessary to put any fertîlizer nearer than four feet of the tree, nor to plow nearer than that. Some successful, orcbardists let grass grow under trees'with good resuits but they -use Iargely ba-rnyard-manure ý-which acts as amulch. This m'ethod wo)uld only be suceessful of course where there is fi<st- class soil that bas no teudeucy to dry ont. Good land does not reqire as mueh cultivation as poor soîl. But like auy other crop an orchard ust be -wëllý fertilized. He said there 1s no betteri land in Canada than lu this part of thel Province. Mr. Kydd is a strung advocate1 of sprayiug-thorospraying, too. Average men don't put enough spray on large trees, Trees sbould be trimmed to around 2oft bigh.- Don't use tar for pruniug salve. Pruuiug shocks trees- don't-eut too mucb off at one pruning. Fali plow orchard but do not cultivate late lu summer. Hairy veitcb aud rye make good cover crop. The most start- ling statemnent made by Mr. Kydd was this: If I werc a Durhami cunty famer I would plant 50 acres toorehard-Snows, Melntoshes, Scarlet Ribston and Bleubeim Pippins, Ducbess, and Wealtby, are best varicties. Spies are not moue-makers- Jtoo slow bearers. Plant trees witb 300 lean to west. Iu repiy to a question he said bie wouid't plant a Stark ojr Baldwin tree., He gave high praise to Newcastle Apple Association, saying it la one of the best lu Canada and this nor(h shore of Lake Ontario is the best appie district lu Ontario. Mr. A. R. G. Smith, Newý Hamburg, was the other speaker and he told tbe farmers enough about stock raisinglu 30 minutes to afford food for thiougbt for the rest of the winter. Iutn opinion of the writer hie is one of tbc best agricult- ural speakers the Goverumeuýt bas dis- c,ýovercd. Histherae was nïaînly Uic 1i stock indnstry and be tohd the farmers to go into it in a community seuse-seleet one popular paviug breed and aIl raise that breed of cattie especially. He claimed that the basis of successful fanm- iug is live stock brecding. The searcest tbing in too many -barnyards is good muanure. Properly fed stock will produce it. He agreed wîth Mn. Kydd that good farmyard manune is, the very best fertil- izer. Hc advised young farmers to tomn their attention to production of heef and milk with pigs and poultry as side lines. The beneifits are twofod-it is profitable as a fanm industry and stoek-raisiug builds up rîcb soil as notbiug cisc will do. He secs the radius wîdeuing around the larger cities for tbc daîryîug îndustry. Fanmers witbiu 50 miles of Toronto, for instance, witb railway facifities bave suie business for ah tie. Witb cheaper power and the returu of the soldiens cities, will go ahcad and s0 the dcmand for al' dairy and other farm produets wil lu- crease accordiugly. Hc is optimistic on western markets and Ontario farmers eau supply very largely tbc farm produets tbey require, ineluding apples. One condition Ontario farmers should be grateful for,' tnat is, tbey eau grow ciover wbich ris a splendid crop for kcepiug up the fcrtility of the soil. Mr. Smitb then directed attention to the use of only thc bcst sires in cvery class of farm stock. Goverument should give more liberal prizes for stallions, bulîs and other stock. Hec tohd the advantage of communîty breeding and hie saw tbree $1000 buils witbiu six miles lu Bruce county. Do not seli your best brccding stock for any moncv.
