ID After a brief address by the chair- 'man, and considerable discussion by the audience, several names were placed before the meeting, and the balloting resulted in the election of Thomas J.

Four of these have been very profitable. In -the Prince Bdward county orchard it was successfully demonstrated that new heads could be put on old trees. The Department found that leasing | apple orchards is a profitable busi- ness, but several things must be dons to make it so. On the lighter goils many of the trees are positively starving while on heavier lands this may not be so apparent. In the experiments very little commercial fertilizer was used, but the Depart- ment depended -on the uss of harn- ward the claims of the Settlexent for improvements. Still comparatively fresh from the east, and hav'ng the energy necessitated by the keen com- petition of that populous part of Canada, he will be able to supply the needful stimulus to this somewhat jaded locality. : After the election the cha'rmran drew the attention of those pre ent J to the dilapidated condition of the : a : = . | yard manure, mostly secured from ocal Cemetery, and his remarks eli- Toronto. About seven toms per acre ' ted a warm response, a tidy sam being subscribed on the spot. It is only fair to the Church of England (to whom the Cemetery belongs) to add that it depends on the revenue from the sale of rlcts to meet the upkecp, and if all were | aid "for it would not be in its present state. Many of the plot-holders have done their best to keep them in shape and beautify the place, but the callous in- are sufficient for one application, which gives about 400 pounds per tree and the total cost is about $21 per acre. The amount looks big but there is no doubt that it will pay well to spread that mueh on light land nearly every year. About six or seven years ago we began ploughing, in the fall, several rows. of trees in all the leased or chards (a portien being left im sod to test the sod mulch). This was done in order that we could answer from experience the frequent question --What about fall plou 2 u 1 difference of others has stultified j the land is fall ploughed cultivation inte Td a dican be begun much earlier in the their effor n urying ground : : : : o siforis, and the bur; g g Spring.

The troublesome part orchard cultivation is close io trunk and it is freguently d to work near the tree without in; ing the bark. We have tested cultivation against sod mulch, and have concluded that nearly all the orchards will be brofitable when cultivation is can on, unless the land is frst-cl d there is plenty of barnyard manure for mulching. When to stop eulti- vation is rather hard to answer. It depends on the Season. = 'The last at the residence of ' Mis Theo. Little.

On rich land apples w grow long after cultivation has ceased. We are stopping our cultivation earlier and earlier every year because our On- tario apples lack color: loss cultiva- tion means more color higher priced fruit, 1 slightly colored seem np: 8 { larger ones lacking celor. When cul- tivation is stopped a cover crop ip fre- uently sown. The principal object is. to reb the tress of nourishment in order that the fruit will color and the wood will ripen before wintez. Some low growing crop from cheap seed gives most satisfaction. Trees must be pruned to get high class apples. The best time to prune is early spring but we prune any month when the weather is not teo cold for our men. If there are large cuts to make we leave a stub about one foot long ard cut it of in the spring, as cuts of two inches or more do not heal well when made in the very cold weather; large cuts should be kept painted to keep the wood 'from decaying. Pruning is a slow business and it costs a lot to got a big orchard done, but it is absolutely i necessary if good apples are expected, High trees are difficult to spray thor- oughly. Twenty feet is high enough for any tree and soverai teet of top may.-be removed in a season with ne bad effects. The tree with a low head is easier prunsad, easier sprayed, ean be picked for half the cost, and the wind will not blow down so man apples.--W. F.
