Bowling on
The Green
(By,, Wm.. wart)
When you look at the bowling green
it makes you-- think about a grand
place for a picnic. There's a' nice big
lawn ''where all the games could be
*held. Boy! Wouldn't it be an' ideal
spot? The funny part of la is that
••we do' just that at the green. 'We'
go:"out on the green ,and play games,
and then wego into the clubhouse
and have a picnic lunch, with sand-
wiches, cake, tea, pickles and all
'sorts of nice things. So the old say=
ing: "More fun than a' picnic," holds
true. at the green all during, the ,play-
ing season. And there's always that
friendly feeling tTiat is so character-
istic of. picnics. You know what 'I
mean—where somebody is always
joshing somebody else, or 'vice versa.
You bet . bowling is more •fun
than a picnic"?' .

want to give all the other commer-
cial apple growers reached by your
paper, a chance to appear for help
and: co-operation... -
We have in our mtdst . a very ser-'
ious- 'enemy which is threatening to
ruin our apple crop a`nd therefore our
business, unless .we get busy as a
group to defeat, this enemy. This is
no fifth columnist which has shown
up since we wentto war, although
the conditions resulting • from war
have' helped this enemy considerably
This enemy is an insect 'which breeds
in laa''ge, numbers in our community
and is none other.than the apple mag-
got or railroad worm. This is the
pest that makes the brown streaks
through the flesh of- apples and thus
makes them unattractive and unpalat-
able, where it does. not 'completely
destroy them., 'Thus it deprives the
public of a' very attractive article of
food and at the same time robe us
of a living. •
During the season just passed, 1943,
the combined conditions of _wet wea-
ther, poor. spraying and neglected ap-
ple and hawthorn trees in the neigh-
borhodd of commercial orchards per-
mitted this. insect to infest 68 per •
cent. of all cominercial apple orch-
ards in Ontario. We all know that
we cannot control the weather, but
that does 'not mean that we cannot
help ourselves and each other by con-
centrating upon proper spraying, and .
spraying or destroying old neglected
apple trees and -hawthorns within 500
yards of cominer,cial orchards. Many
people owning such old trees claim
they cannot be -sprayed: This- may be -
true, but they most certainly can be
burned, and apple,'wood is one •o•f the
best fuels we, can secure, Therefore,
in view of .the present fuel shortage,
'f,°hy not .cut down these old trees ani
use them to offset to some extent the
shortage of coal?
As a commercial grower, .I have to
pay out big money tor spray mater-
leis and then after -'putts --ng on the
necessary sprays carefully, throughout
the season, I find that apple maggot
flies have spread to my,orchard. Un-
der such circumstances I consider I
am not being treated fairly, and• so I
stn bringing my prob'lenn to the atten-
tion•of my neighbor? But the pres-
ence of these •old apple trees or un-
sprayed apple or hawthorn trees' over
the: fence gives exactly the same re,-
sults ,as though my orchard was
raided at night and my crop stolen.
they are- the ;•cause- of apples' being
useless, thus robbing tlfd niggle,. of
feed, and zne qf, hest result.S.

for the lovely gift. Don Dale."
"In today's mail I received two very
welcome parcels from your commit-
tee, six months and four days after
mailing. The chocolates ,withstood the
journey quite well, but the, food box
had •a • rougher time. Notwithstand-
ing, the eating qualities were not im
paired and already great inroads
have been fnade in my first Christ-
mas parcels. of '44 ' The;,delay in re-
ceipt was due to the parcels reach-
ing . me by way of .Sicily and Italy,
instead of.. coining direct to my pres-
ent unit here in England.- • With the
arrival of these two gifts, my 'hopes
are boosted and 'I should be • getting
other parcels that I feared were lost.
Many thanks 'again .for your kindness
and best regards to Seaforth.—H, A.

"I wish, to express .my sincere
