FRIDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1904.
THE CONTEST IN SOUTH HURON.
The coming Federal election in
this Riding is of more than usual
interest, owing to the fact that
four years ago two liberals con-
tested the Riding. The late Mr.
John McMilIan was the regular
nominee of the party, but for some
reason Mr. George McEwen, ex -M.
P. ran as an independent liberal,
and, with a good support of the
• conservative party, was elected by
a large majority. Coupling this
unpleasant episode with present
conditions, it is fair to assume that
Mr. McEwen will hardly expect to
be the nominee of the party in the
present election. The choice, in
the event of his dropping out, will
likely be between Messrs. Thomas
Fraser of Brucefield and M. Y. Mc.
Lean of Seaforth. Mr. McLean
has been the hero of several hot
Provincial elections in the last two
of which he was defeated and
which would detract somewhat of
his chances of election, besides, he
is not as robust, physically, as a
t . rn.onth's strenuous canvassing
would seem to require. Mr. Thos.
Fraser is one of those strong, mus-
cular men,level-headed and straight
forward men and would make a hot
fight and chances are he will secure
the Convention, which is to be held
on Tuesday next. On the other
hand the Conservatives have sever-
al good men to choose from, among
them being Messrs. B. B. Gunn, of
Seaforth, Dr. Rollins, of Exeter
and the late M. P. for North Mid-
dlesex, John Sherritt, who: by the
recent redistribution is now a resi-
dent of this riding. Mr, H. Eilber,
M. L. A., is also spoken of as a
possible candidate and would no
doubt put up a good campaign. The
Conservative convention is called
for Thursday next, and til the two
Conventions are over there will be
much speculation as to. who the two
candidates will be. The South Rid- i
ing as at present constituted is not f
the "Grit hive'' it once was, and
the respective parties are now fair-
ly divided. The result in this Rid-
ing will be watched with the keen-
est interest by the whole country.

spraying was about 20 cents per
tree or ten cents per barrel, and it
is a fair estimate • to say that for
every 20 cents expended in spraying
there was an increased value of $1.
Incidentally many points in gen-
eral orchard culture were taken up.
Prof. Hutt drew attention to the
fact that, even though cultivation
and pruning were neglected in
some of the sprayed orchards, the
trees were well loaded and the
specimens large. He pointed out
that had the season been dry these
fine saiiiples could not have been
obtained. Mr. Putman spoke of
the success which had attended the
operations of the fruit shippers'
associations of Walkerton, Chatham
and St. Catharines, and especially
commended this system of dispos-
ing of their fruit.
Mr. McNeill spoke briefly on the
topic"How to Sell the Apple Crop".
He strongly condemned selling in
bulk. By this method the fanner
was selling a product, the quantity
of which he was not in a position
to estimate, to the buyer who had
spent years in buying end was very
apt in estimating the quantity of
apples on a tree. He also con-
demned selling apples with the
understanding that they be pickecl
and piled on the ground until the
packers calve to pack them. This
usually resulted in a loss of 50 per
cent. A much better plan for the 'MIS as to pick, pack, grade,
and mark his own fruit, and then
offer it for sale. The best way
was, undoubtedly, the formation of
a co-operative selling society,
which would erect store -houses and
packing sheds at some central place
have the fruit packed and graded
by men who were used to the work.
This method would not only effect
a great saving in the quantity of
fruit to be marketed, but by giving
a large number of packages of one
variety and of uniform grade would
attract larger buyers and secure
better prices. With reference to
the crop around Ingersoll this year,
Mr. McNeill said that he could not
conscientiously urge buyers to
make an offer, in as much as in the
unsprayed orchards there was al-
most nothing to buy. Many of the
sprayed orchards had been sold,
and no doubt with proper manage-
ment the rest could be sold, though
the individual farmer was at a dis-
advantage as compared with the
co-operative associations.

Dr. Oliver Groves, of Rochester,
New York, was in Seaforth this
week looking for well bred road
horses. A Charlesworth, of Eg-
mondville, whose stock the doctor
came specially to see, sold him two
very promising speedy colts, two
years of age, for the handsome sum
of $700. These two colts were
sired by Tarantum. The dams of
the colts are from Kentucky bred
mares, Mr. Charlesworth also sold
another high priced Tarantum colt
at the Toronto fair a few weeks
ago. It speaks volumes for the Can-
adian breeder to have such notable
buyers, who are posted. both in
breeding and speed' lines, to conte
from the United States to buy
their stock. The doctor was more
than delighted with Huron's heavy
draught horses and said l:l.uron
county was a way ahead of New
York state for producing heavy

SELLING THE APPLE CROP.
On Sept. 21st, the farmers in the
vicinity of Ingersoll, Ont. asser
bled to the number of about 73 or
80 to inspect the work done by the
power spraying outfit managed in s
that vicinity by the Dominion FruitDivision. The object of the demon-
titration was to show that spraying
e
1
might profitably be done as thresh-
ing is usually done in Western
Ontario, one man taking the con-
tract of doing the work of a large
2 number of his neighbors. A cir-
cuit embracing 3300 trees was con-
tracted for and Mr. J. C. Harris
was employed to do the work. He
succeeded in spraying the whole
number of trees four times with
one outfit at a cost of something
less than 20 cents a tree. The ap-
ples in the unsprayed orchards in
that district are so scabby as to be
practically worthless. The contrast
between the sprayed and unsprayed
fruit is therefore very marked.
The audience assembled at one
o'clock at the orchard of J.C.Nors-
worthy and inspected very careful-
ly a large number of trees, count -
ti ing and grading the apples. Some
unsprayed orchards were visited
va and again some sprayed orchards,
until six or seven had been in-
spected. The result may be sunlined
up as follows. In the sprayed or-
chards 90 per cent of the fruit
'r would grade No. 1, while in the un-
sprayed orchards not more than 15
per cent would grade No. 1. III
some. cases only ten per cent of
first Blass fruit was found and on
some trees it was difficult to dis-
cover a perfect apple, The cost of
