Fruit Problem in England.

In discussing the future of fruit grow
ing for market in the current issue of
the Journal Of the Royal Agricultural
Society, Mr.. Lee-Campbeil. of Glewston
Court. expresses the opinion that every
thoughtful man must view with feelings
akin TO CONSERVATION the increasing de-
pendence of our population on foreign
supplies of food. and proceeds: There
seems something radically wrong, as
well as sad. in the reflection that our
acres should be lying idle. and our
population unemployed, while We are
pouring out oUr millions Of money
annually IN enriehing other nations and
giving employment to their poDula-
tons" There is undoubtedly SOME
thing radically wrong" but without
pausing to discuss what that some
thing is. we turn To what Mr. Lee
Campbell has TO say with regard to the
question Of bringing about a more salts
factory state OF things. He tells us that
much OF our fruit may be supplied from
home sources. lie also holds the oDin-
ion. and properly so. that our soil and
climate are admirably suited for the
growth Of apples. plums, and certain
other hardy fruits; but he is careful to
warn those who have not the necessary
qualification against engaging in what
to them would be a disappointing en-
terprise. Mr.. Campbell is evidently in
full agreement with the views we have
urged from time to time, for he states.
in no hating manner, that to achieve
success in the production of fruit for
market thorough acquaintance with
the details of cultivation and of market
ing the fruit is essential The neces-
sity OF soil and climate suitable for the
fruit Ii is intended to cultivate is in
sisted upon, aud, as might be expected,
the planting ~ inferior varieties and
Indifferent trees is strongly condemned.
We are not surprised that Mr. Campbell
should have expressed himself strongly
In favor of bush trees. for when we had
the pleasure of walking through his re-
markable orchards in the autumn of
1884 le pointed out to us, that while
his bush trees had borne full crops for
some five or six years, the standards
planted at the S. ne time were only pro-
ducing their first crop. In answer to
the question, who are to be the fruit
growers OF the futuve?" Mr.. Campbell
replies that it will not be the farmer.
as he has not the technical knowledge.
and that the landlord can hardly be ex-
peeted to risk his capital in a venture
which largely depends upon the apti-
tude OF the tenant. The only hope he
holds out is that a race of practical
fruit growers may spring up, either
capital themselves or as
ISOLATED with others who are more
fortunate in this respect 1t is quite
certain that fruit-growers. to be sue
cess2ul, must be we'll qualified by pre-
vioas -ining: and we have no doubt
that with security Of tenure and equi-
table compensation, the desired race of
trult-growers viii be forthcoming.

how Nine. de Verneuil had overreached
