LOWER PRODUC TION COSTS APPLE GROWERS ADVISED Faced with possibility of entire shut down in exports to Great Britain this fall — Study spray schedule. Faced with the possibility of an en w \> "jlr We pjre« scribe insur ance by ana lyzing what yon need — and ]by gell ing you only what you need [COSENS & BOOTH M Wingham We Represent— 1 PILOT INSURANCE (Mpany Writing selected risks in — Automobile, Fire, Plate Glass, Burglary, Public Liability, and other general insurance. Head Office, Toronto. tire shut-down in apple exports to Great Britain next fall and winter, which would leave an extra six mil lion bushels to be consumed in Can ada, the Ontario Apple Growers’ As sociation meeting in Toronto, have re commended every effort to reduce production costs this year. It was pointed out that every ap plication recommended in the Ontario spray calendar is essential and that if one or more were omitted, much of the benefit of previous sprays would be lost. For example, there would not be much sense in producing wormy apples free from scab or scabby ap ples free from worms. The directors of the Apple Growers Assn, advise the use of the cheapest effective spray’ materials and advise close study of the two main spray schedules recommended ’ in the On tario spray calendar copies of which may be obtained from Agricultural Representatives or by writing direct to the Ontario Department of Agri culture, Toronto. The Bordeaux-Lime Sulphur sched ule costs about one-third less as far as materials are concerned and is very effective, but not quite as safe as the non-caustic spray schedule which un der normal conditions is to be pre ferred, If weather conditions make it poss ible, the delayed dormant and pre-pink sprays could be merged. This can of ten be done in orchards where it is not necessary to spray for San Jose scale. The directors als.o recommended „the elimination of undesirable variet ies and old trees from all orchards, particularly in districts heavily infest ed with codling moth. They also dis couraged the planting of apple trees in.tender fruit districts because of the high cost of .codling moth control in such sections. g a a CHEVROLET HI bfa DM RGA Chevrolet Special DeLnxe Town Sedan. whikyou mm a ISN’T it significant that you see so many new 1940 Chevrolets on the streets and highways? ...
