PAGE E!GET THE CANADIAN STATESMAN. ~OWMANVILL~ flNTA~Tfl LocalI Apple Crop Down 32 Percent. Survey Shows The Seasonal Fruit and Vege- table Report issued by the Ontar- io Department of Agriculture for JuIy indicates that the eastern Ontario apple crop is estimated at only 68 percent of last year's production. The general sum- mary of fruit prospects this sea- son is given as follows: Apples-Ideal summer weather bas prevailed during the past month with a moderate amount of moisture in most sections. A prolonged June drop is now over and was flot excessive on most varieties. Considerable hand thin- ning is stili necessary. Trees have made a strong terminal growth with apples sizing wcll. Considerable apple scab is show- ing on foliage and fruit in poorly sprayed orchards, especially s0 in the St. Lawrence Valley dis- trict. Codling moth has ibeen ve- ry active since July Ist. Where growers have applied DDT cover sprays side-worm injury is at a minimum. Red mite is now building up quite rapidly on De- liciaus, Snow and Spy. Green apple aphis is causing consider- able trouble in many orchards with control spray now required. First emergence of apple maggot flics took place July l2th. The Eastern Ontario apple crop is now estimated at 290,000 barrels, or 68% of last season's crop. Snow, McIntosh and other early winter varieties are the most promising. Pears-In spite of winter injury1 most plantings are making a faim grawth. Pear Psylila is show-1 ing up but the crop is so light that most growers are not worry- ing about ItL Bartletts are very light with some Clapps and Flemn- ish carrying a third of a crop. Saur Cherries-Weather h a s been ideal with fruit sizing well. Considerable yellow leaf showing in a few orchards. Most growers have been carrying out a very tharough spray program. First picking of "Monts" will be on lo- cal markets during the week of July lSth-22nd. With continued moisture supply crop should run 357o over last season. Plums-Fruit is sizing well but most varieties are vemy patchy. Crop is now estimated at 50%7 of last season's. Raspberries-Weather has been very favourable for crop develop- ment. Most plantings are vigor- ous and setting up for a heavy crop of fruit. First pickings will be on during the week of July l9th. If moisture supply contin- ues yield should run 25%, better than last season. 1.

More than 40 niembers of the 9Durham County Potato Growcrs' sAssociation enjoyed a central On- Ytario tour July 29, to study latest tmethods of production, marketing fand processing over that area, 1Travelling by chartered bus taxed 1to capacity, several more went ini private cars. The majority came from Manvers and Cavan with Hope and Clarke also rppresent- ed. Harv'ey McGill, Enniskillen, \vas the only member from Dar- j ington. Agricultural Representa- tive E. A. Summers went along and returned with the following notes for the press. Six Junior Farmers were in- tercsted members of the party whichi first stopped to survey the Yonge St. Fruit and Vegctable IMarket, Toronto, stili housed in the old station buliding. Methods of handling and distribution were explained. This market will be movcd to modern quarters at the western outskirts of the city when facilit-ics on a 2 acre tract are comipletcd. The change was an- nounccd by Hon. T. L. Kennedy, Minister of Agriculture, some time ago. Proceeding west the modern cold storage plant at Aldershot was ncxt explored. A real in- sighit to modern mass production was found on the farma of Orlie Marshall, Waterdown, who was gctting rcady to harvest his 100 acres of potatoes. These were arranged to yield from week to week in orderly marketing. The tour proceeded to the OAC ex- perimental potato farm at Hes- peler whcre 7 acres were given over to propagating nex', varieties. Also in the Hespeler district the visitors saw something differ- cnt on the farm of E. G. Snider. His crop was propagatcd under a sprinkler systcm consistitig of water pipes and taps along the rows. He has developed a thriv- ing trade in potato chips. Pro- cessing 50 bags a day he scîls thcm wholesale. Each member of the party was given a sample. The conclusion of the tour was at, the OAC, Guelph. Supper had been arranged at the college but a delayed arrivai altcred the pro- gram. Procceding home the gen- cral talk favoured a similar tour next year which would take threc or four days studying potato growing and marketing in the USA. The recent trip was a great succcss.
