But even in commer- cial orchards this object can be at- tained by pruning at the proper Bea. son. In.the off season light terminal pruning has had the effect of reducing the bloom in the bearing year, and consequently the crop, and thus left energy enough in the tree to develop frilit spurs for the production ot fruit in the succeeding off year. An experiment in fertilization has ' A particularly striking demonstra- tion has been given in one Duchess tree. On put ot this tree the luxur- ious bloom of last year Jvas thinned; on part the bloom was left as nature provided it. On the part thinned there is a good crop" again this year; on the part not thinned there is no crop. For two or three years past Prof. Crow ot the o. A. C. has been carry- ing on an investigation the purpose ot which is to change 'he bearing habits of such varieties of apples as Duchess and Wealthies. These trees over-bear in one season and are bar. ren in alternate years. Prof. Crow has. by removing a large proportion of the bloom in the bearing years, succeeded in getting a crop in what has been the off-year.

By kind permission of Mr. Drope the campus ot the Lake Lodge School was open to the Guides who spent many happy hours playing soft ball and other various games, while in the evenings all gathered round the camp fire and sung songs ot the try; of old. Thirty members ot the local branch Girl Guides Association. under Capt. A. Jackson went into camp this year on the lake front ne;r Lake Lodge School. Apart from a few storms and showers the weather has been all that. goes to make camp life a glorious holiday amid nature’s own surround- ings and all the girls look tanned ond he zlthy, while the tents and grounds of the camp are as clean and neat as mother's drawing room. er," this is a fabric strip which adds materially to the strength of the tire, and also aids in keeping the tread from loosening. The side walls are next put on, after which the heavy tread is added. The tire is next turn- ed over to the curing molds, tor which the BAYMAC have exclusive right for Canada, and after being properly cured, is thoroughly examined and coated inside with a preparation to l protect the inner tube. The tire is then ready tor the auto,, and the BAYMAC Company have no; difficulty in finding the autos to put them on. The present capacity of the factory is about 100 tires per week, but from the calls that are received for them at least 100 tires a day could be easily marketed. Outside ot those sold in Grimsby, two Hamilton firms handle the complete output, and they do not get any where nearly enough to supply the demand. As stated above, this is a new pro- cess of manufacture in Canada, but in the United States so great has become the popularity of this tire that many factories in different States are work- ing, one company having six factories spread across the country to facilitate the marketing and gathering of ma- terial. Users of tires are invited by the BAYMAC management to visit the factory and investigate their method of manufacture. The tire, builder next proceeds to put on a "cushion" ot gum rubber, which when properly rolled down, is followed by what is called the "break- new." The method ot remanufacture as used by the BAYMAC is entirely new in Canada, and a short descrip- tion of the mode of manufacture will be of interest. As stated above, used tires are the bases trom which the re- building starts, the first operation be- ing to strip the old rubber oft; the tire " thtsn turned over to the buffers, where every particle of rubber and ltoreign matter is buffed " down to the outside layer of fabric. The inside is also buffed, after which the tire goes to the cement room, and a virtually new tire is started in the process ot manufacture. When the tire has re- ceived the necessary coats of cement, and properly dried, it goes to the tire builder, who, after careful examina- tion, repairs any injuries there may be in the fabric. All standard 3% inch tires are built with tour lamina- tions ot fabric, and after the tire build- er has made the necessary repairs he proceeds to put on three more layers of fabric on the inside of the casing, thus making three-tourths.ot a new tire, plus all the fabric of the original tire. Then comes the building up of the outside rubber, all ot which is purchased from orufpt the largest tire companies in Canada, and is the same material as used in the making ot new tires. " The nature ot the business is tty in less than a dozen words: "The re- building of used tires to the equal of. new." The method of remnnnfantnrn Baymac Tire & Rubber Co., Ltd., and the company is now contemplating the extension ot the business, it possible, to many times the present capacity. The Baymac Company started business in Grimsby about a year ago, and so good has their product proven that ex- tension has become an absolute ne- cessity.

The cost ot construction is spread over twenty years by debenture, and is charged against the owners on the frontage basis. Connections and in- stallations of services are extra. The Council have to guarantee the Grimsby Water Commission $3,500 a year for their supply ot the aqua pura, and this divided among 140 ratepayers places the cost to each at $25 per year. It any ot the 140 petitioners do not take water then the individual cost will be increased proportionately. This week Reeve Mitchell is sending out circulars to eaelrprttpetttoihusr along these mains infbrming him: of his share of the cost of this coiigtruc- tion and the price he will have to pay tor his water-after the main is built. According to the estimates prepared by Enginer Rutherford and .submitted to North Grimsby Council, the cost at laying the new mains east from the town limits to the Clinton Township line, and north on Nelles Road and the Park Road will be in the neighborhood of $60,000.

Iminion Government is interested in the experiments in long distance ship ping ot Niagara district fruits now :being made. The first shipment of cherries from Burlington. Ont., reach- ed Winnipeg Sunday night, and the government officials were 'deeply in- terested in the manner in which the fruit belt held up under the test. Careful record ot temperatures, etc., was maintained by Government ottr. cials, who are interested in the mat- ter of long hauls of Canadian fruit. F. S. Cleverley, assistant in the fruit transportation department ot the Dominion Department of Agriculture, accompanied the carload and reported at length upon the quality "nd condi- tion ot the cherries when they were opened up. He said tlrt the move is toward a greater and wider distribu- tion ot the more perishable fruits, such as peaches, strawberries, cher- ries and such like trom Ontario. Mr. Cleverley was once a grower of these fruits and " says that the farmers of the Niagara district have been more than tempted to ship their fruit by ordinary express to great centres, Which happened-to be their ..near.sst. markets. This resulted in gluts and a certain amount of deterioration due to non-refrigeration. I Niagara The first carload of cherries ship- ped this season to Winnipeg and oth- er Western Canada points has arrived in the Manitoba capital in first class shape. . These cherries were shipped by the Niagara Peninsula Growers Limited; as an experiment, under the super- vision of the Dominion Government, and will no doubt be the cause of fur- ther shipments of this kind.
