In some manner liis foot slipped and he fell on the saw, being instantly killed. Besides his parents, Kenneth is survived by five sisters and two brothers: three sisters are at home, one sister in Win- ninr^ and two brothers and a sister at Flin Flon, Man., who share in the sympathy of the community. He was a nephew of Mrs, Win. Johnston, of Blyth, and Walter Davldsfn, Walton. The regular meeting of the C.G.I. T. of Duff's United Church was held on Saturday at the home of Marie Bennett.

E, Pollard at Kitchener: The community of Walton and surrounding country is well served by four rural mail carriers: W. R. Sholdice, Andrew Coutts, John Mar- shall and William Thames, Both veterans of World War 1, Mr. Shol- dice and Mr. Coutts have served the community for 23 years. Although moat of the road travel- ed on all four routes are unplowed in winter the citizens of the vicinity have rarely failed to receive their mail. Mr. Thamer•, the youngest and newest of the carriers has used three means to ensure adequate de- livery. During the present winter he has used his automobile, his tractor and his faithful gray horse. Of all three dining the winter months the tractor has been used the most. Mr. Thamer finds riding the tractor somewhat cool but in most cases handier and speedier. Only twice -this winter has the mail for this 18 - mile route not reached its destina- tion. Route No, 2, the largest route, carried by Mr. Coutts is 22 miles long. Fifteen of the 22 miles are over unplowed township roads. De- spite the heavy blizzards this winter, Mr. Coutts has turned back only twice. On both occasions the roads were impassable and visibility was nil. 3Ir. Sholdice's route is the short- est: yet much of it is over roads which are frequently traveled. Like the previous mentioned carriers, Mr, Sholdice has only failed to deliver the mail twice during the 194.5-46 winter season. Vs Mlershall, carrier for route 8, also , had much experience. Prior to delivering route three, he carried route 4. Mr- Marshall is now substi- tuting. for Mr. Joseph Carter who had carried the mail for 22 years but at present is at Seaforth. Mr. Marshall's route is entirely on plow- ed roads, but when storms strike this fact often makes matters worse. Mr. Marshall has had to drive the horse only ten times this winter. BRODHAGEN Messrs.

Secord of the Mohawk Navigation Co. CAUSES OF LOSSES i IN APPLE ORCHARD Drawing on the wide experience over many years of the Division of Horticulture, Dominion Experiment- al Farms Service, M. B. Davis, Do- minion Horticulturist,. gave I import- ant information on the various sys- tems of orchard management in an address to the annual convention of the Northumberland and Durham Apple Grower's Association held re- cently at Cobourg, Ont. In many cases, Mr. Davis said, losses frons dead trees were due to collar rot, which, while of a fungous nature, could largely beovercome by the use of better root -stocks than the French crab stocks so commonly. employed. These crab stocks were very susceptible to collar rot. The experience at the Horticultural Divi- sion had indicated that seedlings of Antonovka and McIntosh were high - ly resistant to that trouble and that the clonal root -stock Robusta 5, which was the hardiest of the lot, was probably fully resistant. Other losses which periodically occurred, even with a hardy variety like McIntosh, were due to trunk and crotch injuries in the main limbs; Those were winter injuries that occurred duringcertain severe winters. The Northern Spy was par- ticularly susceptible, Frame working or double working with a variety like Hibernal pr. Virginia Crab would materially reduce losses from that cause. The double working could be done by the grower, and did not, when properly done, appreciably de- lay the bearing of the trees. With regard to general fertihizers, the Division of Horticulture prefer- red a 9-5-7 but as that was not sold in Ontario, the following was sug- gested. Apply 600 pounds of a 4-8- 10 fertilizer per acre in the spring and a supplement of sufficient nitro- gen. In the first year after applying mulch, it would be necessary to add 214 pounds of sulphate of ammonia. or its equivalent, to every 100 pounds of mulch material used, In addition the trees would probably require another 100 pounds of sul- phate of ammonia per acre. During the years when extra mulch was not requiied, the, 100 pounds additional sulphate of ammonia, or its equiva- lent, would probably be sufficient. These amounts were for the trees and were applied from a point 18 inches from the trunk to a couple of feet beyond the spread of the bran- ches. In order to maintain a good growth of grass, the Division had • found it profitable to fertilize the grass strip separately, and for that purpose from 160 to 300 pounds of 'a 2-12-6 were applied per acre of the land treated. IMPORTANT FACTORS IN SEED PRODUCTION Among the important factors in ,the production of good seed are ' climate, choice and maintenance of a suitable seed stock, multiplication of stocks under conditions which will safeguard their purity, and the } skilful use of methods and aids to more efficient production. These and many other facts concerning the pro- duction of seed for the food process- ing industry were included in an address by A.—N, D. Butler, Plant Products Division, Dominion De- partment of Agriculture, to the an- nual Joint -Processor Convention held recently in Toronto. With reference to climate, it was true, he said, that seed of most kinds and varieties of vegetable crops could be produced in Ontario, but that did not mean that seed of all kinds could be produced economi- cally in the province, or in Canada for that matter, nor did it follow that good seed could be produced even in those areas where any kind of crop produced seed freely. Gener- ally there was a reason why seed was produced in a given area often removed by thousands of miles from where it was ultimately used. Take, for example, the pea seed production areas of Canada. The Fraser Valley of British Columbia was for many years a heavy pro- ducer of pea seed. To -clay pea seed production in that area was almost nil because the 'mild climate was favourable to the pea moth which had rendered pea seed production unprofitable, if at all possible. , Southern Ontario until recent years produced all or most of its pea seed requirements. Even to -day substantial quantities were produced there. but since 1934 an increasing quantity had been multiplied in Western Canada, particularly in Al- berta and in the interior of British Columbia. The increase of pea pro- duction on the irrigated lands of Southern Alberta and British Co- lumbia had been vers- great, not be- cause the climate was especially favourable for the production of peas but because the absence of rainfall in those arid areas which was free or relatively free from seed borne diseases. For successful production in those areas, the peas must be planted early and the crop made before the time when contin- uous hot days and nights cause the pea crops to mature. In Southern Alberta, most peas are grown on land which has been in alfalfa sod for three or four years. This added fertility, together with the fact that the pea weevil had not yet become a factor in that area, usually result- ed in full crops being harvested. Varietal, soil preference was also a factor recognized by experienced growers in the area. More recently, the production of uea seed had de- veloped in Saskatchewan but time would tell whether production in that area would survive, Do not overload your electrical outlets.
