Behind this apparently dry state- ment, issued by .the dominion de- partment of agriculture, Fruit Branch, in collaboration with the Dominion Bureau of Statistics, lies an interest- ing story of the growth of the apple industry from the Seventcenth Cen- tury to the pgesent, from a year of prhaps half a barrel yearly to 3,59,- 955 barrels this year, and from an industry that could hardly be ranked important toone that is regarded as a very material factor in Canada's exportation figures. The apple, consumed with equal gusto in city and farm, is not indi- genous to the North American con- tinent. It's native home is in Europe, where in the wild and cul- tivate state it has existed since man- kind commenced to till the soil. Early in the seventeenth century the settlers of Quebec and Nova Scotia, in addition to introducing seeds of vegetables and cereals es- sential to the pionger, included apple seeds, a few trees and scions of fa- vorite European varieties, and thus IN ART ies IN COPY igs IN MEETING THE NEEDS MEYER-BOTH GENERAL NEWSPAPER SERVICE REE AT The Oshawa Advertising Dept.

Tozzi Calvo, Brazilian explorer. Mme. Coudroux in 1902 "explored part of the Cumina River but the Rondon party went to its headwa- ters. The spot where the inscrip- tions were found is thirty-five days' travel from the junction of the Cumina and Amazon at Obitos, a slow journey to cover four miles. The inscriptions were found on a cliff near the river bank and at some height. It was impossible to photograph them and one of the party traced on paper the approxi- mate characters as they could be seen from a distance. Then dig- ging was commenced at the base of the cliff and several specimens of pottery with Phoenician and Greek characters and designs were unearthed. Only one piece was intact, a white vase about ten inchés across and six inches high, with prs pes heads on either side as handles. The other pottery was in pieces, and months are being taken to re- store it and to read the meaning of its inscriptions. Tozzi Calvo and other explorers have reported that Indians of the Tapajos, which flows into the Ama- zon from the south not far from where the Cumina does on the north, have told of a hidden mytho- logical city, but the discoveries. of the Rondon party,-and the bringing of the pottery here forms the first tangible evidence.

Now the ad- vocates of Irish, as a common speech for the people of the Irish free state, have had to face some curious diffi- ALD. R. D. PRESTON Ex-Mayor of Oshawa and director of the Oshawa Fair for 1929. laid the foundation of the present industry in the small homestead clearings of an undeveloped and heavily wooded country. Later years saw the 'introduction of apple trees into the Canada west of those early days, now the province of Ontario. With the general developmeyy of the country, orchards increased" but lack of transportation bad roads and long hauls prevented all but local dis- tribution, and it was not until the introduction of canals, railways and steamships that the development of the apple took place, The apple, from a very small be- ginning, which in the pre-Confedera- tion days was produced entirely for local distribution, domestic use and as a medium of trading, has today, with the aid of storage facilities, transportation, and refrigeration, de- veloped into a crop of economic im- portance distributed to all parts of Canada, and during last season, Can- adian apples were cxported to 40 other countries. The cultivated varieties of the pre- sent day are not the result.of cross pollenization of known varieties, but have, in many instances, arisen from seed of unknown parentage. For in- stance, the famous McIntosh Red, by its devotees proclaimed the finest apple in the world, has descended from a tree found growing on a farm belonging to a John McIntosh, situ- ated near Iroquois, Ont, in the year 1795. It is thought that the tree grew from a seed of the Fameuse or Snow apple, but the actual parentage is unknown. Nature has been very lavish and in the production of varieties of apples suitable for consumption, and while the apple is of a perishable na- ture, yet this fact is counterbalanced by a multitude of varieties of varying keeping capacity. There ahe early summer varieties such as Red As- trachan and Yellow Transparent, fair- ly soft and short keeping; followed by Duchess, Wealthy, McIntosh and Jonathan, fruit of firmer texture and of increasing keeping qualities. Then for later consumption there is the Baldwin, Wagner, Northern Spy, « Greening, Stark, Ben Davis and Wineasp, varieties which are very firm in texteure and of much longer keeping qualities. The acreage devoted to commercial production at the present time is ap- proximately two hundred thousand acres, distributed chiefly in Nova Scotia, Ontario and British Colum- bia, with smaller acreages in Quebec and New Brunswick. In Prince Ed- ward Island the production of apples has not developed cxcept for ap oc- casional orchard, while in the .prairic provinces a beginning only has been made with certain th certain hardy ve varieties, IRISH LANGUAGE FOR IRISH PEOPLE Old Irish University Atteggp- ting to "Enforce the Speaking of Gaeltacht culties, Irish, as a mother-tongue, had survived in the Gaeltacht, but it was an Irish out of touch with mod- ern demand. Its vocabulary was lim-| ited. Terms common in business, commerce and science had no equi- valent in the old language of the Irish gael, Therefore, not "only had the] brought up to date as a bottles. Where terms were lacking, they had to be created and stand- ardized. All this has been done in the face both of hgstility and indifference. It has been éstimated that of the total population of the Irish Free State five per cent are enthusiastic for re- storation of Irish as a common speech five per cent arc just as strongly op- posed and the remaining 90 per cent are neither the one nor the other. They are inclined to treat the whole experience with indifference, In Gal. way City with University College at its doors and the heart of the Gael- tacht only a few miles away, English is the common speech. One may buy reading primers with nothing but Irish words to describe the dramatic adventures of the dog that chased the cat that chased the rat, but 'as the children play in the streets, their talk is usually English. And older students tend to object to Irish on the ground that they are called upon to spend many hours in the study of a language which they argue, will have little practical value atterwards. The young fellow planning a business career questions the value of Irish in the world of commerce beyond the limits of the Irish Free State. The budding author doubts the value of a mediym which, as compared with English, can at best have only a very limited = appeal.

Attempts by threats of penal consequences' to drive the FL this instance the teach- ers--at any unreasonable pace, must generate reactions the very reverse of beneficial to the Irish language cause." And another objection is made to the policy of the Irish-for-all. The old hostilities between Northern Ire land and the Irish Free State are dying down. Both are seeking to stimulate common tourist traffic by reduging customs formalities to a minimum, There is talk' now and again of a united Ireland.
