UPI„:R APPLE .ORCHARD
Bumper . Crop on Firte Farm Near
:Lucknow is But the Result of Pain -
taking Effort
it was like a privilege aHyl a pleas-
ure for your representative to visit,
on' Friday of last, week Mr, Kenneth
Cameron's apple. orchard, situated,
three miles south of Lucknow, It` is
indeed difficult to convey to the read-
er, in mere:wordS, the superbness of
the sight centered in that nine and a
half acres in the north-west corner of
the township of West •Wawanosh,
Apples, millions .of' them! Baldwins,
Ben Davis, Northern Spies, Oiitarios,
Kin°gs, Manns, Wolf --River; McXntosh,
Reds, Tolman Sweets and Russets; a
bumper crop: estimated at 3000 "loose
barrels". or 2000. "packed barrels" of
Number I,' Number II and Number
111 grades. The remainder, two bar-
rels, will be used as eider apples and
apples for drying.
In many instances the phrase, "Oth-
ers have labored and we have .entered"
into their labors," is an apt one, but in
no way may it he applied to Mr. Cant-;
eron, who, to day, is but reaping the
reward for his pains' in planting out
eight" acres of the nine and a half acre
Orchard many years ago. In r8g3 Mr.
Cameron• plantedz6otrees; two years
later this number was increased by
125 trees and eighteen years ago forty
Ontarios brought the total number in
the orchard 'hp to ,325 trees. ' During
the past six years 112r. Cameron has
"packed" 6o15 barrels from his orch-
ard. On Friday he pointed with par-
donable prideto one limb of an'On-
tario tree, about one inch thick and
three feet long, on which hung thirty-
five- beautiful apples! Another out-
standing tree in the orchard, one
planted sixty-five years • ago by Mr.
Cameron's father, the late Alexander
J. Cameron, a native of Ullapool,
Scotland; who settled on and cleared
the farm in
the year 1855x, was a nor-
thern Spy, : from which Mr. Cameron
said the. average` annual yield during
the past four years had been fourteen
barrels, as follows :-1928, : nine barrels
1919,. nine barrels; 2920, twenty barrels
and 2922, nineteen barrels, while this
year he modestly sets the figure' at
twenty barrels.
Local buyers have always handled
Mr. Cameron's apple crop, including
Messrs J. G. Anderson, Harry Mc-
Quillin and John Joynt, all of Luck -
now. This year Mr. Joynt has pur-
chased the entire crop, Mr. ,Cameron
delivering.. the same' packed'in barrels
f.o.b.: Lucknow station.. "Last year
the price per barrel was a pretty nice
figure, and -this year the price is
about equal to last year", commented
Mr, Cameron: To -:enable himself to
more closely 'supervise the grading of
the apples Mr. Cameron has let the
contract of picking the apples to Mr.
Samuel Gibson, -who has -assisted him
to the work during the past six years.
Mr, j•oynt has about thirty acres of
apple 'orchar.d himself, so that one is
quite safe in saying that Messrs. Cam-
eron and Joynt together pack as many
barrels of apples as are packed by all
the rest of the apple men .of the
township. •
Twenty-five men are employed in.
the apple picking and packing, the lat-
ter feature of the ,work being carried
out in. Mr. Cameron's barn, which is
86 feet x 48 feet, ,with an "L" 65 feet.xi.
24 feet, the whole "much be --windowed
and be-doored," in. order : to provide
plenty of light and ventilation. The
entire main floor space, with the ex-
ception of one 1no.ry and the granary,
and the basement as well, ,the latter
spick and span with a fresh coat of
whitewash, 'are utilized for the hous-
ing of the packed and empty barrels.
Since the orchard was six .years old
it has had the best of up-to-date care,
said Mr. Cameron, care which. embrac-
es the. pruning and spraying of the
trees and the thinning out of the fruit,
1.liis spring aux, Cameron thinner rout
what he estimated would have amount-
ed Lo oo barrels had the apples been
permitted' to mature. "Whaf,time of
year do you prune the trees and spray
then,, and what spraying fluid do you
use?" asked the reporter of Mr. Cam-
eton,„who was proving himself a gen-
ial source of abundant information:
Pruning, hereplied, is carried minium
or less all winter, the pruning of the
lower limbs of the trees being com-
pleted about
oni-pleted,about March, and the tops fin-
ished off .early in the spring, . The
trees ''are sprayed thoroughly four.
times each season, depending, of
course a great deal on the weather.
The 'first spraying is done usually in
April, the•"dormant season", just as
the buds are swelling; the second
spraying about May, just before the
bloom; the third a few days' later, 'af-
ter the bloom is off, anad,the fourth
aboutten days after the third. For.
the past five years Mr. Cameron has
empioycd•as a spraying fluid what is
commonly known as the Bordeaux
mixture, (Blue stone, quick lime and.
water), as he has fotind it to be the
most powerful spray to. get after the
apple spot or fungus. Occasionally,
if the weather is wet at the time of
the third spraying, there is danger
with the Bordeaux mixture of "rus-
seting", though this is not the case
with the Northern Spies. The addit-
ion ,of more lime to the mixture Mr.
Cameron has found very beneficial in
offsetting this disadvantage, however,
Through the advice ;0f Professor L
Caesar, of the Ontario Agriculture
College, Guelph, Mr. Cameron also
adds to the Bordeaux niiiture some
nicotine, which does great work in
destroying the "aphis", (a disease of
the leaves), and •also the plant bug.
by the process, of burning or stifling
the pores. Mr. Cameron does not be-
lieve in "drenching",the trees with the
spraying fluid, as do some apple nett,
but rattier sprays on only what liquid
will cling to the leaves without drip
ping off. With the aid of a gasoline
power sprayer about 5600 gallons of
Mr. ,Camerons mixture were applied
to the orchard this year, attd the par -

So heavily laden are matey of the
trees this year that hundreds of props
hale been necessary to brace up the
lower branches. The majority of the
props ,used by Mr. Catneron are of.

BEARS, WOLVES, DEER, WILD-
CATS IN BRUCE COUNTY
There were four in our party. We
were tip to Toberinory •by motor, for
a day's hunting. It's a .hundred and
fifty miles from Listowel and we pass-
ed Harriston, Walkerton, ' Hanover,
Chesley and 'Warton, en route also
close to Lion's Head.
We harin't before realized that
Bruce extended so far north as to
bring our objective, at the . tip of the
peninsula, directly opposite, on Geor-
gian Bay; to Parry Sound.
And, oh boy, it's "some" country'
up that way -pants of it bush covered
and most beautiful at this season of
the year, other sections burned over,
rocky and desolate -truly a God for-
saken country, and prompting one of
two in the party who saw service in
France to remark, "Great Country
this,' for a war," and the reply, "Could
n't make it any worse."
But there are white people living up
there whose "Borne sweet home" in
many an instance is ina class with
our woodsheds.. " They are sparsely
scattered and deserted shacks are com-
mon; The timber is gone and the
greater part of the country iss-'rock
covered and offers little encourage-
ment for farming. There are some
though, trying to nuke it go, and un-
der such adverse circumstances as.
makes their condition pitiable. "An
awful place to bury ones self. Might
as well be out of the world," one of
the boys remarked,. - Yet their persis-
tency of endeavour to make a living,
despite great handicap, is an object
lessons to any farmers in this' richly
blessed 'section, who are discontented.
with their let.
After getting a :few miles beyond,
Wiartonone appears to be pretty well
out of civilization, yet there are roads
inthose barren partsthat put sonic
of ours to shame. In fact we were in-
formed that one ten mile stretch
through the "wilderness" -much of it
nicer to drive over than concrete -en-
tailed an. expenditure of $roo,000.
How an unproductive, sparsely set-
tled country, of this kind, can have
fine roads and good cement bridges,
while much travelled roads in a pros-
perous section such as that between
Listowel and Palmerston, are so dis-
reputable, is a puzzle to us. There's
surely something wrong somewhere.
The last thirty miles of the trip to
Toberniory are perhaps the most in-
teresting,, because novel to motorists
from these pads. The road is narrow
and winding;` At places there are sharp
inclines and the hood of the car ob-
strticts the view, Then comes the drop
before you have a chance to size up
the road ahead, or spot otit any ob-
stacles. Bush and rocks skirt the
roadside and for long stretches it is
impossibleto see any distance ahead.
Much of this road is corduroy. The
foundation of other parts is comprise
ed of flat rock, which through some
of the swamp areas is piled several
feet high, and represents•a lot of hard
labor, In places the road is being
straightened and , modern cement
bridges are being built.
Tabertnony is a fishing village,
with a good natural harbor. It is sur-
rounded bybeautiful u
l seenery,
iichtd-
tng numerous islands, pretty bays,
tion is located near the village.
Bruce county .has a creditable wac•,.
record and more than a few of the,
stalwarts who served in France carne
from that north country, Sonic of
them didn't return and away up in the
peninsula, isolated fi'orn buildings o1
any kind, stands a monument. erect-
ed to their memory. This reflects ,a.
splendid spirit on the part of the sett-
lers and surely reminds us in ;Listo-
wel that we are a little behind, --histo
