The fruit is quite free from apple scab" infection` in at least 90% of the commercial orchards. Leaf roller in- jury is rather severe in a number of orchards near Newcastle and Bow- manville. Codling moth injury is also quite apparent in orchards where this insect has been troublesome in past seasons. The preliminary est- imate of total apple production in Eastern Ontario shows a 25% in- crease over last season. In Western Ontario weather and moisture conditions have been fav- ourable during the past month for good colouring and sizing of apples. Scab infection on fruit is fairly well controlled in well -sprayed commercial orchards, and apparent in a few lo- calities.
