C. Apiculture exhibit' at the C. N. E. attracted much interest. !a nu'ttfber of visitor's stated that they had abstained from eating honey for fear of getting fat. They were inform- ed that honey is absorbed directly into the blood stream and acts as an immediate source of energy,. also that many entrants the swimming' .maga- thons used honey in their training diets and that some actually consum- ed honey during the races, A considerable increase in attend- ance at 0. A. C. this year is anticip- ated, A total of 156 applications have been received for admission to the First Year, 83 for the Associate Course, an•d 73 for the Degree Course. A total of about 456 students in the agricultural course is expected. At Macdonald Institute a total of 216 students have been accepted, of which 134 are new stridents this year. Buy Canadian Grapes. There will be no lack of grapes in Canada this fall as the vineyard's of Ontario and British Columbia will ,produce a crop estimated at 32.000 tons. As any doctor will tell you, no fruit is more healthful than the grape. It is a delicious dessert, wholesome conserve, and a real re- freshing beverage, The Canadian varieties include blues, whites.and amber. They are sold by the box. and basket and in both quality and flavor are fully equal to the best im- ported grapes of similar varieties. Attractive. Exhibits. ;Exhibits under auspices of the On- tario Department of Agriculture at- tracted keen interest and unstinted ad- miration. The Ontario Marketing Board's exhibit featured in a convinc- ing gray the advisability of buying home-grown farm products, the mes- sage being addressed especially to the women of urban Ontario. The posi- tion of agricultural representatives as the link between the farmers and gov- ernment institutions was cleverl3- de- monstrated in another exhibit. The Women's Institutes .Branch had a striking exhibit which ,portrayed the valuable work being done under their auspices and which attracted the at- tention of every woman. The 0. A. C. exhibit presented in a graphic way the threefold character of Farm\\"eaith-_Fool, Time and Beauty. One-half of the Department's section leas devoted to a remarkably fine lis- play of fruits, vegetables and other farm produce. An Unwise Practice Numerous reports have been re- ceived from time to time of serious Mosses' taken on grading by country merchants who have held their eggs for a higher market: The holding of eggs' at .country points for a risirising nuariet is:,decidediy unwise because of.. he 'fact that stor'age facilities are not adequate to m'ainitain quality in the gg, Eggs are graded by candling 'aefore a strong light, and ,the grade o!f the egg depends on the size of the .aia'- ecu . Th'is in turn varies in accord- ance wibh the amount of CO2 or car- bon dioxide given off by the egg through its shell. You can't fool tlae egg gradetrand it doesn't pay to hold. Big Apple Crop. Hodgebts,, , director of the Fruit Branch, deslcri'bes the apple out- look as the best since 1925. A crop of 530,000 barrels is expected, as corm- pared with 635,000 barrels bast year. The crop is particularly clean, weal colored and of good quality, The bulk will come from ,com'merciad' orchkardis' which have been steadily . increasing their percentage of better class ramie- ties, such as McIntosh and 'Spy. With apple-gr.owinig a • straight busine'sls proposition, insects and disease are ;aow much better conitrolled than for; mealy and little damage is reported this year. Prices will hla•ndly de as good as a year. ago. Arrangements are being made to market more fruit in the 'West. The principal packagts' will be barrels and hatt'tmpers, 'Central packing well be done this year' at (Brighton, 'S:im'coe,' Thornbury, Pi'cton, Trenton and Strathroy.

'Orta a'ch he c cess T'h 1 ego er s he p espe Spraying Pays. The spray supervisor in Leeds County reports that the good orch- ards, carefully looked after, indicate a good crop of first-class apples, while orchards only partially sprayed are badly infested with scab and apple maggot. This is undoubtedly the case in most fruit growing districts, and it. emphaz'ises once again the need for systematic and intensive spraying of orchards if clean, desirable .fruit is to be obtained.. Minister's Address. In an impnelssive address on Agri- cultural Day Hon. Thomas L. Keat- nedy made several strong points. "The time has dome in 'Ontario" he said "when registration of dive stock should go to a higher • standar!. I hope to see the time very shortly when all breeds will be of far higher sta❑derd, so that the rest of the world will know that when they get an ani- mal from 'Canada it will be free from disease and parasitels and have a fang line of production behind it." 'The Minister also visualized what it would mean to Ontario farmers if 'Canadians would buy home-grown fruits. The repercussion of 'benelfi't would reach all industry and help .pro. vide jobs, The Minister also stress, ed that knowledge was an increasing- ly essential factor to successful farm- ing and he outlined some of the Gov- ernment overnntent work in conducting classes for young farmers. The Western Market. The Ontario Growers' Market is en- thusiastic about the Western market for Ontario grown fruit and vege- tables. Tomatoes must be packed in lugs and paper wrapped for this mar- ket, according to C. W. Bauer, secret- ary, who says farther. "The West wands Ontario tomatoes, ,but itan'ts them packed differently. We can sell our tomatoes in 11-quartbaskets in the West at ,ttesatisfactory prices, but f we want to develop a large market for tomatoes at good prices they must be packed differently." A Similar situation has developed in egard to peaches. Officers of the Council have come to the conclusion that basket packing is not a eatisfac- ory method to be used for the We's- ern market. Different Ontario fruit growing organizations .are equipping themselves to pack peaches in boxes,;'1 or the Western trade, It is realized hat to expand their markets better packages .must be utilized.
