the continued -selling of hay as one of
the most ruinous of farm practices,.
when "conservation - of soil fertility is

'pressed down full and running" over'

- ' possibly
in the county has gone so far':back-
ward as the frtiit.tindustry. There are
acres,' and :acres of orchards in this
county awaiting orchardists to look
after them. Poor prices and lack o4
care seem to have discouraged most
farinerd with reference to this once
important `industry. To illustrate the
situation, reference may be made to
the sale of British Columbia apples
here during the past few years.`Br'it-
ish Columbia apples- have been sold
in our stores for some years, not in
large quantities, is ,I'S true, but the
very fact that they can be sold at all
indicates that something is wrong
with the`.ere. I1
h owever •
during the year there have been in-
dications of renewed interest among,
£he farmers in this ipusiness. New
sprayers have been bought; some or-
chards have been ,pruned and ferti-
lized, and are receiving attention
which they have not been given for
the last twenty or twenty-five years,
If this work be continued, we feel

- ' possibly
in the county has gone so far':back-
ward as the frtiit.tindustry. There are
acres,' and :acres of orchards in this
county awaiting orchardists to look
after them. Poor prices and lack o4
care seem to have discouraged most
farinerd with reference to this once
important `industry. To illustrate the
situation, reference may be made to
the sale of British Columbia apples
here during the past few years.`Br'it-
ish Columbia apples- have been sold
in our stores for some years, not in
large quantities, is ,I'S true, but the
very fact that they can be sold at all
indicates that something is wrong
with the`.ere. I1

during the year there have been in-
dications of renewed interest among,
£he farmers in this ipusiness. New
sprayers have been bought; some or-
chards have been ,pruned and ferti-
lized, and are receiving attention
which they have not been given for
the last twenty or twenty-five years,
If this work be continued, we feel
