Toronto last Saturday to consider the reports received from the members of the association, and to estimate the probable value of honey. From the reports received it is not likely that the season's crop -will be more than 20 to 25 per cent. of the crop of last year. Comb honey is almost a complete failure. Mr..Tacob Haberer, of the Blind Line, who has a large number of colonies of bees, states that the shortage in the honey crop is hard to account for. The season seemed to be afavorable one and no draw- backs presented themselves, and the 'bees worked hard, but the blossoms seemed to lack the neces- sary nectar. His crop, thus far, is only about one-tenth as much as in other years. THE FRUIT CROP. Very favorable reports are com- ing in as to the prospects of our apple, pear and plum orchards in the vicinity and throughout the county of Huron generally. The yield will not be quite so heavy as was expected in the spring, owing to the falling off of a large quanti- ty of immature fruit, but reducing the yield has had the effect of bringing out finer specimens, and it is expected that there will be a very large percentage of the fruit this fall that wi]1 class as No. 1. The apples especially are particu- larly free from scab and the de- structive codling moth does not appear, so far, to have done much damage. .As far as we have seen the late winter varieties will not be heavy, such as the baldwins, spies, matins, etc., but the kings, Bien - helms and other late fall varieties were never better and they will be the principal apples for shipment this fall. A notable feature of the fruit crop this year is the clean and healthy condition of the foliage of the trees and the consequent well-developed specimens. In for- mer years the snow (Fameuse) ap- ples and Flemish beauty pears were so disfigured with scab spots that they could not be shipped, but this season they are well developed and many barrels will probably be sent away. This change must be attri- buted to the favorable climatic conditions of refreshing showers and plentiful sunshine, for very few of our orchardists have sprayed their orchards, that operation not being much practised here, al- though recommended by the more advanced fruit -growers in other parts of the Province.
