Hutt, Ontario' ricultural College. In commercial orcharding, the bus- iness end or the enterprise, that ot marketing the crop to the best ad- vantage, is second only in importance; to that of producing fruit of the best quality. It is in this particular that 'there is the greatest need for improvement at the present, time. There are hun- dreds of apple growers who can grow first elites fruit to every one, who can place it on the market when and where It will bring the best price. The e'rowers who make the mod out of 'their apples are those who keep in touch with the best markets at home and abroad. Dur- ing the ehipping season these tnen watc:h the market reports daily and unless prices are satisfactory they will hold their fruit until good prices prevail. The great malority however, of those who have apples to sell wait for some buyer to come along and eell for whatever he chooses to offer, usually frenn fiftY cents to a dollar a barrel, or a lump sum for the crop en the trees. The latter plan is nothing less an gambling in apples, and in either case the grower seldom gets one- half what his fruit is really iworth, if it were properly handled. The remedy or this state of tate fairs- and what is going to put the apple trade on a better businese ba- sis, is for the growers in eachape ple growing section to unite and form a co-eperative association through- which the grading, packing and marketing of the fruit may Ilse acco pleshed. D r ng the past 'year a number of theseassociations have been form- ed in various par s fof the Province and the prices eb ained by some of them for last ye r's apples have made the grower enthusiastic over this method of a,ndling the crop. An effective c operative associat- ion for this purp se involves the se- lection of an onest, wide awake business manage and the erection of a central packing and storage house at- the ost convenient point for shipment. ,ThrOugh such an or- ganization, boXes and ,barrels can be purchaaed..itrholesale to better ad- vantage . than they can, be obtained by single ineividuals ; the grower elm devote his • whole attention to gathering the crop at the proper season and delivering It in good contlition at the central packing house ; the association relieves him of all care and responsibility in grad- ing,. packing and marketing; and with this Work in the 'hands of ex- pert packers, the grade of. freit an be made uniform, and, the packing cap be done propctrly, which, in time, inspires coneiden Se in the purchas- ing public. In short, the co-operat- ive system of handling the apple trap, under. proper management, assures the consumer of a better product, and realizes to the grower a !great- er profit. • Perth Items. -Mr. W.
