ml)-On Tuesday morning Prof. I-TIT. Simtt, of Ottawa. discussed -‘Fertilizers br Orchards." Points of general in- gg-got to the public are: Red soils (such gwe have in P. E. I.). rich in iron my foe more profitably fertilizd by
abasic slag than a snperphos-
,inte fertilizer, because the iron ,when h great abundance reacts on part of
free phosphoric acid and causes it
on insoluble compound.
Where goid wood ashes can be ob-
it is the best form in which to potash to our soils. Good ashes not watered nor adulterated con- 5 to 6 per cent pure potash besides valuable constituents; a ton of measures 40 to 50 bushels. In
lsssachusetts It is worth 25c.per bush.,
Western Ontario 10c. and ought to handled here at 15c. at which price is a very desirable fertilizer. It is not so profitableto apply nitrate soda to orchards as to annual crops
ve a very short growing season, can be applied much more
in some form which would

e best ways to apply nitrogen

The :tttcrnoon session was taken up
chiefly with a discussisn of better transportation facilities for the enor- mous output of fruit. It was the pur- pose of the growers to impress on the Minister of Agriculture that there is a grievance here which the federal government ought to pay special attention to, for though a line of steamers is receiving a large subsidy, the money is often used by them to crush out competition instead of giving the fruit grower better facilities for marketing his produce. Both Hon Mr- Fisher and Hon Mr. Borden, the Minister cf Militia, discuss- ed the matter fully and showed how the government had nsed every op- portunity to secure the best transporta- tion possible. The cold storage experi- ment has not proved a success this year, and it seems possible that it will be best to return to thoroughly ventilated boits for carrying allfalt and winter apples,
The evening session was of a verv
interesting character dealing with the establishment of a provincial agri- cultural college in Nova Scotia. Hon.; Mr. Fisher spoke again most acceptably as did also B. W. Chipman, the Secre- tary of Agriculture, for N. S., and Messrs. Wickwire and Dodge, the re-‘ presentatives of King`s County in the local legislature, and a number of others. A strong resolution was passed, ‘ snde. committee appointed to present it to the legislature at the coming session. o
This isa critical time in the history
of agricultural education. A maritime
strongly agitated; and the coupling of
'instruction in agriculture with the nor-I
mal schools has been shown by nume- rous attempts to be a positive failure.

The morning session was occupied
with the business of the Association which is in a most encouraging condi- tion. The School of Horticulture which is controlled by the Association has closed the year with a surplus of almost $500.00 and for the first time in its six years of existence, is not a finaucia burden to the body of Fruit Growers. With regard to the financial support of this school l might say that the N. S. government grants $2,000 per year un- der certain conditions; and the N. B. government last year gave a grant of $50 apiece for three students who took the course in horticulture; it was neces- sary to defend the action of the Island government in refusing a like support to the school, though solicited during several years. Your correspondent ex- plained the burden incurred by our ‘ government iii erecting the normal school building and the intention of adding an agricultural and horticultural department, as well as the fact that ex- Premier Peters, who promised to assist, is now in British Columbia, that his successor in ofiice is now Judge War- burton, and our present Premier, Hon.
,D. Farquharson, and his cabinet have
not had an opportunity to give due con- sideration to this matter.
Half of the afternoon session was oc-
cupied by W. T. Macoun of the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. Some of his statements with reference to the de- partment of horticulture are of general interest.
There are 653 varieties of apples be-

“P11038 Sud? as the 0118 at sG\w1_Ph is -Russian varieties which #were ‘uighiyfli
recommended a few years ago,of which only 4 or 5 compare favorably with our own best varieties. The work carried on with plums, pears, cherries, grapes and small fruits was very interesting and instructive. He called attention to, a new department: the production of a cheap poison for troublsome nests. At the farm last year they experimented with 35 varieties of tobacco; they steep 10 lbs. of the dried tobacco leaves, and add with about 2 lbs. of whale-oil ,Soap to a 40 gallon cask of water. This has proved a cheap and effective insecticide with them which does not injure the foliage. He coasiders that not only every province, butevery section should have an experimental station, as the _conditions of soil and climate have such an effect that noigeneral statements should be relied on. He remarked that the fruit which he had seen here in the Annapolis Valley is much larger and coarser in texture than similar varieties grown in the Ottawa section ; and show- ed a Delaware Red Winter apple which he considers a typical apple for the British trade.
The evening session was notso large-
ly attended, for a large number had gone to the Agricultural meeting at Annapolis. A halt hour was given to the discussion of Cranberry Pests, opened by Mr. J. S. Bishop of Auburn. Perhaps few people who have not thought of the matter realize what an opening there is in cranberry culture. From 'just a few hundred acres of “worthless” interval thousands of dol-‘ lars worth of cranberries are being shipped every year, and the trade is in- creasing rapidly. (There are thousands of acres of cedar swamps on P. E. I. which might easily be used for this purpose.) l Next item was a discussion of Ton- Graftiiig opened by Prof. Sears of the School of Horticulture, which was rather hurriedly disposed of as the and- ience was anxious to hear Attorney General J. W. Longleydiscuss agricul- tural education and the prospects of a provincial or maritime agricultural college. There is not time to rt-port his address, but he spoke as only Dr
by all who have heard him. Before adjourning the convention. Hon Sydney Fisher, Dr. Longley. and Prof. Macoun were made honorary members of the Fruit Growers’ Association. I have stolen time from my regular work to attend these meetings and report them at considerable length because it is a matter of great and growing importance to a good many besides the one who is very glad to have enjoyed the privilege of learning a little here.
