Phone in your orders--29w GLIMPSES OF NOVA SCOTIA (Continued from Front Page) trip took us 76 miles through the Annapolis Valley to Kentville. Here, after lunch we were taken in autos by the Kentville Rotary Club to "Lookoff" and Cape Blomidon. From this point we saw the splendid panorama of Annapolis and Cornwallis Valleys near the Basin of Minas. It is a wonderful view of the great orchards (some ofthem miles in extent) and the fertile farms. It is doubt- ful if any other such sweep of country can be seen. The view that is most like that from "Lookoff' is the one you get from the escarp- ment between Hamilton and Grimsby, only it is on a much vaster scale at "Lookoff," « Here may be seen orchards where the apple crop from a single orchard will run intopthousands of barrels. Recently a grading law relating to export apples has heen passed, and from all ac- counts the law was necessary, and should do much to improve marketing conditions. In Nova Scotia, as in Ontario, the producer and the packer, who put in inferior fruit, are a menace to good marketing ; and now the Government is stepping in and demand- ing what is to be known as 100% grading. To the casual observer, the questien arises--How do these people live? Except for the apple orchards, there fields are tiny, and the crops they raise have not the prolific yield of the Ontario fields. It would seem as though the Nova Scotia farmer had put all his eggs in one basket. Modern marketing makes this a dan- gerous proceeding, for one never knows when a market may dis- appear through tariff, treaty ,or commercial rivalry. Nova Scotia farmers would be in a bad way if their apple market failed them. Even now it sometimes happens that an orchardist will sell his crop and get no returns--everything is eaten up in freight and commissions. The apple orchards are wonderful, and must be a sight of amazing beauty when they are in bloom, as they extend for miles. They look more prolific than our orchards down by Brighton. Evidently they are trained to have the branches low, and in some cases almodt trailing, for easy picking. The Gravensteins were ripe and our chauffeur jumped out and secured Some beauties for us. In spite of all this wealth of apples, pears, plums, etc., you see little or nothing of these fine fruits in the hotels and restaurants. The formal thing is done--oranges, prunes, grapefruit, and grapes, these are served--these are expected. No one seems to have caught the idea of popularizing Nova Scotia apples by polishing their glowing crimson coats and making them a tempting dish for the American tourist, who must be heartily sick of tropical fruits. An apple a day would do more than keep the doctor away for Nova Scotia. As we travelled through the Cornwallis and Annapolis Valleys we saw many sights that are not to be seen in Ontario. The Dominion and Atlantic Railway skirts the Bay of Fundy, and we shall always believe that that unique piece of water played a mean trick on us. We never saw the tide come in. We saw the muddy beds of the rivers. We saw the dyke lands and the dykes. We heard stories of the tremendous rush of waters when the tide comes in. We have a picture postcard showing "The Bore of the Petitcodiac River near Moncton, N.B;, but the tide simply refused to come in when we were looking at it. So we have to take the word of the natives when they tell us that the waters come in like a mighty wall, at some points rising to 40 feet or more. But we did see the rich red mud that was deposited by the tides, and we did see the evidences of fertility in the Western part of Nova Scotia that are not so evident in other parts. Another sight was the ox cart in various forms. The oxen are not hitched by the yoke with which the older Ontario farmers are familiar, but by an arrangement which is fastened to the head around the horns. This harness--if it may be so called--is said to be much easier on the oxen than the old yoke, which only fitted where it touched. The head harness was said to have been intro- duced by the Pennsylvania Dutch. Oxen are used because they are more sure footed than horses. They certainly take their time to put down their feet. Out on the dyke lands there are odd looking structures which for a time puzzled us, until we found that they were platforms on which to store the salt hay. In this country the well sweep and the spinning wheel are still in use. Home life is simple, there being little evidence of luxury. The fields are very small (except the salt hay lands), and it is evident that were it not for fishing and cutting pulp wood, living would be very scanty. This trip took six days and nights of straight travelling, so you cannot have the whole description in one issue. Later the story will unfold further. Sunday.
