Co Operation In The Marketing Of Apples

Excerpt from Co-Operation in the Marketing of Apples Western Ontario. The varieties were not selected with care nor were the interests of the individual owners sufficiently important to encourage them to become experts in apple growing. Natural conditions, on the other hand, were very favourable insects and fungous diseases were at first not numerous and as long as the local market absorb ed the entire product, the multiplicity of varieties was found to be an advantage. About the years 1865-1870, however, the pressure of over-production began to be felt, and in the following five years apples became almost wholly valueless, especially in the thou sands of orchards that were somewhat remote from the larger cities.
