E. Shkkuinutox, Notes. The winter of 1906-7 could not be considered an ideal one for tlie fruitgrower in this district, owing to the mild warm weather of January andFebruary, which started the fruit buds into growth, and then followed verycold, frosty weather with late spring frost, killing a large percentage of thebuds of the raspberries and Japanese plums also the Duke and Bigarreaucherries. The apple crop was a very good one in this district, but at the stationthe crop was rather light owing largely to the heavy crop of last year. In1906 the yield from the five acre old orchard was between 700 and 800 bar-rels. This year the jaeld was 500 Picking Cuthbert Rasj)lierries at A. E. Sherringtons, Waikerton, Out. Clean cultivation is practiced on the whole of the farm. The apple,plum, cherry and pear orchards are cultivated frequently during the growingseason, and a light coat of barnyard manure and wood ashes are applied oncea year. We find this keeps up the vitality of the trees and gives us annualcrops.

No additional planting wasdone at the station last spring, except to fill in blanks where trees had beenkilled by frost or other causes. No record of yield was kept this season, as I do not think this necessaryfor the reason it is impossible to keep a strict account of the yield of eachvariety. Apples.
