Old Mr. Cronyn died in 1868.

HINTS TO APPI.,E. GROWERS. (Written for The News -Record.) In the Oder parts of Ontario such. as the counties of Middlesex; rerth, Oxford and Brant, as well as a por- tion of Enron, where the best apples grew in times gone hy, today there is a great aeglect of young tree plant- i tug as well as of pruning and the .re- • suit isa diminution in the quantity of apples grown and a decline in. the quality of the fruit produced. Now in Grey, in the northeastern part of Durham and in the ,county of Nor. thuinherland, the young orchards are jest a.boat equal to the older ones in nutal r,showing that planting is there going on vigorously. '%.)t Thee foje,extlr were eses there is no planted twerty five or forty years ago when there was no exact knowledge of and, perhaps, hut little experienee in varieties -when early apples were in demand, when the soil was now, when insect, pests and fungous diseases were rare and -When the. only skill required was simply to take the fruit. Under these circum- stances the business of apple growing was exceedingly profitable ;. but there •soen came a glut of the earlier var- ieties. They were not suitable for the „export trade, so that as wan as the home market was .sepplied there was no further call for them The soil lost something of its virgin freshness ; the trees would not grow as well, and with the increased number of trees therecame a quadruple increase -111 fungous diseases and insect pests. Not only was therea falling oh hi the demand for the particular variety they were •growing, but there was an inereas.cd difficulty in growing any variety ; hence farmers got the Idea that there was no money to be got out 'of .apples, and they let their or- chards run wild, they allowed .nox- ious insects to multiply and fungous. diseases to run their course, with the inevitable • result that the orchards• were . almost ruined. In the Georgian Bay:. district,. • however, • it is not. diRi- uli. to persuade farmers that orchards ran, be .made to pay ; -but.. everyone should understand that te. be a -suc- cessful apple grower he Must choose 'suitable varieties, adopt cleaa cnIU- Yation, pursue syst culotte ' pruning, spray at the .proper time in the Prop- • er inanner with the- proper solittioris, and direct . careful attention to .cOVOX • craps.
