HIS QUESTION will be dis- cussed under four heads: Climate, Soil, Labor and' Transportation, » The Factor of Climate, So far as climate is concerned apples can be grown commercially in any part of old Ontario, south of a line drawn from Parry Sound to Ot- tawa; In fact, there zie commercial orchards produciugg fruit at a profit sonsiderably further north than this. Miny people think of commercial ap- ple orchards as béing 'necessarily con- ined to the milder parts of the pro- vince, and to the lake districts; but the fact is worth emphasizing that we have varieties of apples suitable tor commercial culture in every coun- ty of old Ontario. The winter hard!- ness of the many varieties grown throughout Ontario is now very well established, and it Is possible to s»- 'ect vhrieties which will be hardy for ny district. The most seriots climatic difficulty y n the Province of Ontario is the oc- :urrence of late frost in spring, and 'arly frost in fall. Other difficulties Jf a climatic nature can be largely vercome by the selection of suitable varieties, or by careful discrimination #ith regard to soil, elevation, aspect, ste. It may be pointed out, however, that frosts are more common- and more severe over large areas of flat fountry, than where the topography 8 rolling and billy. Large areas of 3ome of the southern counties of On- taro are therefore ~mfore or less un- suited to commercial apple orchard- ing because of thelr fat character. A more rolling country is much to He preferred, .s0 that orchards can be made safer from frost by the better air drainage, efferded. The choice of varieties for various districts will be made the subject of later notes. Buitable S611 In. Every County. 80 far as solls are concerned, It may be stated that there is an abun- dance of land in every county suitable for apple growing. Well drained land is essential for successful orcharding, and there 'is plenty of soil of this id ih to-be had in almost every dis- trict Summing up Soil and Climate, it may be Said that no province or state in North America has so large an area so favorable in soil and climate for apple growing as has the Province of Ontario. If this statement is true it becomes obvious that the present distribution of apple orchards in On- tario is dependent on other factors. Most Profitable Near Cities, Transportation is the most impor:- ant factor having to do with the dis- tribution of commercial apple orch- ards io Ontario. In other words, the commercial apple orchards are locat- ed within reach of transportation facilities, and the better facilities have been with selation to large of- ties and to the devcloping markets of the prairies, the more rapid has been the development of commercial orchiarding, A location near a large city may be desirable, but If better soil and climate are to. be found at a distance, the more distant location is likely to be preferred, provided transportation facilities are good. Some districts in Obptario posseds excellent conditions of soil and efi- mate, but are-dacking in transporta- tion facilities, and until facilities ure available Httle development can take place in commercial orcbarding. 'Labor Situation Very Acute. At the present time 'the labor sit- uation is acute, und iy rendered more 40 from the standpoint of the appl¥ grower by virtue of the emphasis which, véry correctly, is being placed upon the production of exportanle food stuffs. The labor shortage will result in the majority of small oren- ards being more or less' neglected. But the large commercial grower of apples has been in.difficulty for years over the matter of labor supply. For commercial orchard operations on i sizable basis, it is necessary to be} within reach of u temporary suppiy of labor for apple pic .ng.
