FRUIT GROWING
DEVELOPMENT ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES. WINNIPEG.. The so-called treeless prairies of Canada which were once only considered suitable for growing wheat and other cereals, will one day become an important factor in the fruit-growing industry of Canada. While fruit-tree growing is still in a more or less experimental stage or hobby among a few farmers, already 1,650 fruit trees have been planted since 1927 of which 1,400 have survived and many of them are now bearing, having produced 6,600 pounds of fruit in 1938. Small trial orchards have been started in 14 different experimental stations in the prairie provinces, even as far north as Wanless in latitude 54. These are mainly small apples and plums, including plum-cherry hybrids. Many of the trees are, however, still too young to come into bearing stage.
