A large area of one variety ripening at one time is ex- tremely difficult to handle. â€"â€"- Prof. J. W. Crow, Ontario Agricutlural College, Guelph. 0:: de Van’s Femaie Piils available Some districts in Ontario possesa excellent conditions or soil and cli- mate, but are lacking in transporta- tion facilities, and until facilities are available little development can take place in commercial orcharding. Labor Situation Very Acute. At the present time the labor sit- uation ls acute, and is rendered more so from the standpoint of the apple grower by virtue of the emphasis which, very correctly, is being placed upon the production of exportanle food stuffs. The labor shortage will result in the majority of small orch- ards being more or less neglected. But the large commercial grower of apples has been in difficulty (or years over the matter of labor supply. For commercial orchard operations on a sizable basis, it is necessary to be Within reach of a temporary supply of labor for apple pic".ng. Otherwise it becomes necessary to build dwell- ings for men and their families so that a supply of labor may be always Summing up Soil and Climate. it may be said that no province or state in North America has so large an area. so favorable in soil and climate for apple growing as has the Province of Ontario. If this statement is true it becomes obvious that the present distribution of apple orchards in Onâ€" tario is dependent on other factors. .Most Profitable Near Cities. Transportation is the most import- ant factor having to do with the dis- tribution of commercial apple orchâ€" ards in Ontario. In other words, the commercial apple orchards are locatâ€" ed within reach of transportation facilities, and the better facilities have been with relation to large cl~ ties and to the developing markets of the prairies, the more rapid has been the development of commercial orcharding. A location near a large city may be desirable, but it better soil and climate are to be found at a distance, the more distant location is likely to be preferred, provided transportation facilities are good. The choice of varieties for various districts will be made the subject of later notes. Suitable Soil In Every County. So far as soils are concerned, it may be stated that there is an abun- dance of land in every county suitable for apple growing. Well drained land is essential for successful orcharding, and there is plenty of soil of this type to be had in almost every div- trict. ’l'lie most serious climatic difficulty in the Province of Ontario is the oc- currence of late frost in spring, and early frost in fall. Other difficulties of a climatic nature can be largely overcome by the selection of suitable varieties, or by careful discrimination. with regard to soil, elevation, aspect. etc. It may be pointed out, however, that -frosts are more common- and more severe over large areas of flat country, than where the topography is rolling and hilly. Large areas of some of the southern counties of On- tario are, therefore, more or less un- suited to commercial apple orchard- ing because of their flat character. A more rolling country is much to be preferred, so that orchards can be made safer from frost by the better air drainage afforded. est LABOR IS THE Bill PROBLEM WHERE GBGHAR iDC( MD a hbell 15v y disw The r blis vaince or State In Amcriru Has 50 Large n Suitable for Apple.
