A Land Of Fruit.
is every prospect that Canada will live up to her reputation of being a land of wheat and mellow fruitfulness. It is estimated that the apple crop, for instance, will run to well over 3,000,000 barrels the bulk of which will be from British Columbia. What this represents in terms of individual fruits may be judged from the fact that the average barrel holds 1351bs of apples. Ontario has had a bumper crop of cherries, the total production being no less than 220,000 bushels. Again, there are plums and peaches in abundance, Ontario alone yielding an estimated crop of 740,000 bushels of peaches. Canada is probably one of the greatest fruit eating countries in the world.
