Among the apple orchards justly famous in. this regard those iqwned by John Joynt, ex-M, P. P<.' for North Huron, of Lucknow, holds ■ an important place. This year he is shipping onjy his own fruit, Over twenty years qgo lie was in the apple business in a general way and tells- how he lost $35,000 in one season, (Since then he has gone slowly. One year he filled a •finest apples and sent Charitable Agencies ip distribution among the This year he sprayed five times and his fruit cellent quality, Since October he has had about 30- men picking and packing, Many of these men are experts along their line as they ' ’ ‘ " years. very these ishes are looked for, vis: those made by the picking -of blackbirds, which is very large, bitter rot/pnd scab. The fruit is also injured, by the curl­ ed leaf disease in the growing sea­ son. Owing to the spraying the codling moth has done little dam­ age. His pack this year will be about 2,500 ba-rrels of choice fruit, Though such care has beep taken yet Mr. Joynt is not very sanguine of a very profitable season as he finds our various cities well sup­ plied by local farmers. -Some of his fruit will lie shipped to the Eng­lish markets. * -To give some idea of his apples it may be said that many of them weigh a pound each. Just at the present, the people of Luck­ now, are filling a car for the West and he is giving freedom, to the neighbors to come in and. send all they wish of his choice seconds. Mr. Joynt farms 1400 acres of his own most of it being in the neigh­ borhood of St. Helens in West Wa- wanosh. This year he planted 6b acres of potatoes for which he bought $2400 worth of fertilizer. It took seven men a week to cut the- seed. He has'now 18,000 bags of No. 1 potatoes, besides large quan­ tities of lower qualities. . His barns hold 600- tons of hay and to eat this he has already pur­ chased three carloads of Western cattle with more to follow. In. early life Mr. Joynt was the “Ashes King of Ontario,” having 60 wagons out gathering asliies for sale in the United States. This business laid the foundation of his large fortune. The former Metho­ dist Church and now the United Church have -been the richer for his liberal benefactions but he says the most satisfactory investment he ever made was when he purchased a missionary cow nr use in the "West. Tlie letters of g-rati-tude received give him grqat pleasure, in fact so much pleasure that ne wishes he had a small herd of them put there doing .the same work. .He Jias promised to send fifty dollars be­ fore one. the the for car with them to Toronto poor. t his orchard is of an ex- the 6th ef have 'been at workl for many Pour grades are. put up and careful work is required of men.
