The following. clipped from the Scot-

Campbell, who was a native of Usborne:
—" The many friends to whom Dr.
Campell is known and appreciated as
a physician—hut not as at; orator—
will be pleased to learn that in the
latter field he occupies no mean place.
The address was delivered by urgent
invitation of the Scottish Celtic Society
of New York, and the doors were
thrown open to the friends of the mem
hers and others who might wish to
hear the author of 'The Land of Burns'
"Dr. Campbell's adddress on the
` Songs of Burns' followed and was a
treat indeed. Burns' personality, his
life, his poems and songs, and the effect
they bad upon his countrymen and the
people of other lands, was gone into
most exhaustively. He recited with
fine effect many of Burns' familiar
poems and songs in the course of his
popular address. He was frequently
applauded during its delivery. At its
conclusion the doctor was tendered a
hearty vote of thanks by the society,
to which he briefly responded,"
.fruit Tree Spraying.
Mr. W. M. Orr, of Fruitland, who is
sent out by- the Department of Agri-
culture of Ontario, to continue the ex-
perimental spraying of fruit trees this
year, met a number of farmers and
others interested in fruit growing in
the Town Hall on Wednesday of, last
week and made arrangements for
carrying on the work. Mr. John Alli-
son, Thames Road, Stephen Hogarth,
Stephen, and R. S. Lang, Exeter, were
appointed to select an orchard in which
to experiment and the exhibition will
take place about April 20th. Mr. Orr,
with a large selection of samples show-
ing many of the pests which' attack
fruit trees, including the dreaded San
Jose scale, gave very full information
on the methods found beneficial at the
Agricultural College and Experiment
al farm. . The agent who will conduct
the experiment will have for distribu-
tion copies of a handy bulletin giving
full information as to tbe various in-
secticides and how to treat•thenr. Two
or three facts mentioned by Mr. Orr
show the importance of this work, and
the spread of all possible information..
It 6 estimated by United States_ offic-
ials that from one third to one-half of
the fruit crop of that country is lost
each year by diseases and pests, aggre
gating about 3.000,000 barrels of fruit.
There are no actual figures to ,guava
the- lose"iii Canada, but we undoubted-
ly suffer in proportion. There are
320.000 acres of orchard in Ortarin,
and 94 million apple trees, over 6 mil-
lion of which are hearing. The value,
ot the product of single trees on which
spraying was conducted last year in.
these experiments was found to be in-
creased from $4 to $8. Putting , the
increase 'at $2 a tree only this would
mean an addiiion to the wealth, of 'the
province from le to 2 millon of dollars..
