"SPITTAL , MANAGER. 580 BRANCHES THROUGHOUT CANADA AND OFFICES IN NEW TORCC ANDLONDON' ,r mercial Representative of the Ontar Fruit Growers' Association in his 1 est report. Writing from London, Englan Mr. Fulton says that there' is at' t present time a• very weak demand f ordinary quality varieties and gre apples on all markets in 'Great Br tain and any shippers who send ov such varieties as Colverts, St. L rence and similar `kinds, .must expe low values. The reason for this si` nation is the heavy supplies of chea English apples of equal' quality sel ing around 2s to 2s 6d a bushel. E en good quality Ontario' Greening No, l's, 2•i" up, are only making fro 19s to 23s a barrel.: A very good i lustration of the- heavy discount f greenish apples was shown during th first week in October. in : the price realized for No. 1 Wealthy, rangin from 21s to.26s and the Domesti grade of the sante variety front 13 to 16s..a barrel. Even some No. Wealthy that were green made ver little higher values than the Domes tics. Mr. Fulton advises Ontari shippers to hold back for a few week such varieties as Greenings an Starks. These varieties will be want- ed later at better values. The British markets are demanding, a red dessert apple and paying satis- factory prices for this class of fruit. Some very fine Ontario McIntosh Wealthy and Scarlet pippin have ful-. filled this need and have been well eceived by, the trade. Recent shipments have been re- narkably' free.from slacks, indicat- ng that Ontario shippers have been taking more care in the packing of the ruit and. shipping promptly to this market. Red desert Ontario apples, No. 1 suality, have been making froxp 2s to 27s, as compared with 24s to 7 for Virginian Jonathan and York mperials. It is Mr. Fulton's opinion hat good suality Ontario red apples ill continue to make satisfactory clues, possibly around 20s to 22s for o. 1 quality. io For instance when whole :milk IS at- sold anywhere from 60 to a dollar a hundred pounds, skim -milk has little d, value, yet if it is fed to poultry it will he bring fair returns. If skim -milk were or used•instead of beef scraps as • a. en source of animal feed, poultrymen i- would out down on. their feed bill and er their cost of egg production at the aw- same' time, ct An experiment " at the Dominion t- Experimental Station, Cap Rouge. p' Que., for five seasons proved rather 1 -conclusively that the lot' of birds re- v- ceiving skim -milk laid more eggs and s, gained more weight than the one that to was fed'beef scrap, other feeds be- 1-ing the same. or, Skim -milk' should always be fed e sweet or always sour so as to avoid: s bowel troubles. Where skim- milk is g not available beefscrap will have to c be resorted to but the cost of pro- s duction will' be higher. No poultry - 1 man or farmer keeping hens can af- y ford these days to feed expensive an- - imaI feeds when they can use skim - o .milk at greater advantage. Let 'us s make a better use of theproducts d which are at our disposal. r f 2 2 i t v N SKIM MILK OR MEAT FOR WINTER EGGS (Experimental Farms Note.)
