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

Salter of Newport.
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.
wi-;DNi<:sDAir’s si~:ssioN.
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-

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.
