He referred to the grnt aiiricultural leaourcea of Canada mil tho necessity of learning morn of the nietHods uf farming and coming togeiher to ex- change ideaa. The next speaker men- Uoned aliovsj spoke on "Soil cultivation." As onltiv.it;. .n uf the soil deterininiHl tin 1 succtst, il was necessary t ' pay do teiition to it. An important point wa the drainage, by which a finer seed Net! was obtained and work could be com- menced earlier. Replenishing the il wtvi a necessary factor and in doing thi<* care should be taken that the best "f the manure would not be washed awny. Thi) ibject of tillage was to secure heat, air and prevent escspe of moisture. Mr. G. C. Cam. .n then spoke on "Orchard fruits and how to grow them." The moot suit- able soil for fruit trevs was a clay loam. Trees should not be planted less than thiity feet a{rt and frequent cultivation should lie resorted to in order to prevent moisture escaping. In the matter of pruning, which should have for it.s aim the opening of the tree to light, he recr>r"- mended it lo be done in June in order to secure a better healing of the wound, especially in larger limbs if it was nect-s- sajy to remove auy of them.
