' q those who take greater care inthe picking, selecting and marketing of their apples. Careless methods of _handling tend to reduce both the consumption and value of fruit. I believe that we have si. home market sufiieien > for all our early apples if proper care and attention were given to its demands and development. Just here let me say that it will not be well to tax our market too much by planting too many early varieties. In winter apples we cannot supply th_e home requirements Even in these much carelessness in loo niiiny cases is manifested. If we wish our fruit to take that place upon our own market which is demanded by consumers we must be more careful in our work. The question of varieties _to plant still confronts us. The question is often asked me, Which do you think is the best winter apple to plant for home market and export ? My reply is,that the answer to the question was what the Fruit Growers’ Association is still trying to solve. Afew years ago I thoughtl had solved the question, but now I am very far from thinking so. One thing is certain that since this organization saw light, quiteachange has taken place in the view of many in reference to the matter. Itrust that through the report of the committee on fruits and the information we may receive from those sent to us from the Experimental Farms, and from the practical experience of members present much light may be shed upon this subject. Insects, owing to their destruction by the modern methods of spraying, did not cause much annoyance or loss to the fruit grower. The tent-caterpillar, which I have found in past years to require the greater vigilance and watchfulness, gave very little trouble the past season. I am not aware that the dreaded San Jose scale has reached us yet. When we consider the very destructive nature of this insect, I. think the Government should endeavor to prevent its introduc' tion into this Province by _special legislation. Owing to V the wonderful rapidity with which it spreads we cannot begin too soon to use the most stx-in8ent measures to prevent its coming here. Ii: is estimated that one pa.ir_i_ivill becomé the progenitors of three billions in a. seison, and it has been found that trees attacked will only live from two to three years. In. speaking of this insect I tliiiikl cannot do better than quote from the report on the Sin Josa Scale as presented to tholsstuieeting of tire Ontario Fruit Grosvers‘Assoc'lation: ` ` ' That pest, has increase.-l since '98 to an alarming extent. In orchards which were believed to be clear two years ago every tree is infested this fall. Some of them are so badly infested that they are now entirely useless. In one orchard not a single t-ree is now free of the pest. In a peach orchard consisting 'of S00trees, weich had only four infested in ‘SB all are suffering from the scale to-day. still another, containing from 800 to 1,000 trees, where the-re was no scale -in ‘-33 all the trees are infestednow. One is not an orchard within twelve square miles in which the scale is not working. In some orchards in that section.-' 'not a. single tree has escaped. Another grower s iya that in order to rid his locality ofthe scale every fruit tree and shrub would have to befdestroyed and oven then it would not be sate to re- turning in favor of that policy. §?.§'§§f.';°Z.Z'.f.'f“fi`."§`£fZ'.‘.“."i “‘i‘€’.".§§‘i§§1 5§¥3¥li5!“§3!?lI§5K¥ can nowbo seen from the roal side. ln A ' grower says that in his section t-here Hon.

Even with the methods being adopted it was ` fou`nd,tbat the pest was getting ahead of ` the inspectors and that $300000. would be required to annihilate it. You will thus readily see the great danger that con- :I fronts ns, asfmuch of our nursery stock jcomes from Ontario.
