IN THE LETTER BOX
Clinton,, Ontario,
July 3rd, 1944.
To the Editor:--.
May I through the medium of your
paper be allowed to ask for help as
an apple rower? By so doing I
want to give all the other commer-
cial apple growers reached by your
paper a chance to appeal for help
and eo-operatt]on.
We have in our midst: a very ser-
ious enemy which is threatening to
ruin our apple crop,' and therefore on
business, unless we get busy as a..
group to defeat this, enemy. This is
not the fifth columnist which
has shown up since we went to
war, although! , the conditions
resulting from war have
helped' this enemy considerably,
This enemy is an insect which breeds
in large numbers in our community
and is none other than the apple
maggot or tailroad worm. This is
the pest that makes the brown
streaks through the flesh of apples
and thus makes them unattractive
and unpalatable, where it does not.
completely destroy them. Thus it de,•
prives the public of a very attractive
article of food and at the same time
robs us of a living.
During the, season just passed•,
1943, the combined conditions of wet
weather, poor spraying and. neglect-
ed apple and hawthorn trees in the
neighbourhood of commercial orch-
ards permitted this insect to infest
68% of all commercial apple orchards
in Ontario. We all know that we cam
help ,ourselves and each other :by conn
etntrating upon proper spraying, and
spraying or destroying old neglected
apple trees and hawthorns within
500 yards of eommereial orcherls,
Many people owning stieh oldtrees
claim they cannot be sprayed. This
may be true but they most certainly
can be burned and apple wood is cue
of the best fuels we can secure,
Therefore in view of the present fuel
shortage why not cut down these old
trees and use them t0 offset to some
extent the shortage of coal?
As'e commercial grower I have to-

leis and then after putting on the
necessary sprays carefully throat h.
out the season, I find that apple mag-
got flies have spread to my orchard
and that my crop is not marketable.
Under 'sueh cireutnstances I coast:le:
I ant not being treated fairly and so
I .am bringing my problem, to the at-
tention of my neighbours because
together we can defeat this enemy.
Unless I can get'help from my neigh-
bones, however, I can do little or
nothing its the line of control. No
onewould in•tentionalIy rob his neigh-
bour, but the presence of these eh]
apple trees. or unsprayed apple or:
hawtboin :trees over the fence gives
exactly the same results as though
my orchard were raided at night and
my crop "stolen. They are the cause
of apples being useless, thus robbing
the public of food ansa the of best
results.
1 .lmow by putting the facts before
you in this way you will help nee to
help myself. If you• help me by cut-
ting down those old tiros I have got
to put on the right sprays at the
right time and control every apple

too, even in years when my crop is

In these times we have got to as-

not depend on :some law enforcement

Britain's Praise for Canad-
ian Eggs
The following is an 'extract from a
press report issued by the British
Ministry of rood to the British
people regarding the high quality of
Canadian dried eggs used in Britain:
"If ever you sigh for a fresh egg
as you reach for the familiar brown
packet of dried eggs from Canada,
bring this picture to your mind. In
Canada there are several full-time
egg -drying plants. In these there
! stand at Iong tables, rows of girls
in immaculate white uniforms. The
-only thing these girls do is break
eggs real eggs sueh as you dream
!about, Before them are steel trays,
each about the size of a bake -pan.
Aaron the top of each tray is a
metal bridge with a knife-like edge
The girls break the eggs on the
bridge and let the contents drop in-
to a cup where they are examined.
"Then the broken egg passes
trough mixers, sieves, and, dart -
niers, emerging froom then' as a
smooth yelioavisat liquid resembling
rich create. This liquid is poured into
stainless steel storage vats maintain-
ed at a constant temperature of 40
degrees F. From here the liquid is
pumped under pressure of 4,000
pounds per square inch through a
pipe, through which a pin could not
pass, and is blown in a fine spray
into a large Metal cone 50 feet .high.
On the opposite side, hot air is driven
in. The moisture in the spray is int -
mediately turned into steam and the
substance drops to the .bottom( of the
cone in theforin of a powder.
"So", continues the British 'Minis-
try to the British people, "next time
you prepare an omelette or scrambled
eggs• from the well-known Canadian
packet, don't think of it as some sort
of egg substitute. Think back a bit'
to those girls in immaculate white
Who a short time .beforewere reliev-
ing yore of the effort of removing the
shell from your eggs."
Canada sends to Britain about
50,000,000 dozen eggs every year.
