A DRIVE TO THE APPLE FARM.

the Biggest Fruit Growing Enterprise

South of tho Equator,

Animated by a sense of their responsibility to Hio shareholders, and desirous of con sidering tho ptojeotod work for the coming season on the ground, the directors of the Appl<s Farm Company had determined upon a visit t(j their extensive orchard on Saturday. An invitation to accompany the expedition tM extended to the Press, and with that readiness to combine business with pleasure which distinguishes the journalistic profession, representatives of the daily papers were fotiiicl promptly on ths ground at the hour appointed. One of Crowthcr's bftlkSff, drawn by four horses, had been chartered for ih'B ssrvioe, and started from the "Three Lamps," fonsonby, at 9.30, with 3 portion of the party, collecting others by ths *vay. When complete, tho committee of inspection con sisted of Messrs T. Peacock, M.H.11. (Chair man of Directors), J. H. Upton, J. Billing ton, 6. S. Jakins, and James Mason (directors), arid Messrs A. Stewart, W. H. Conncll, G. L. Peacocke, and the special correspondents aforesaid. Mr Fairburn joined the expedition on horseback at Ota huhu, and fit Cairns, of Mangere, and Dr. Torrens at the homesten-l A splendid two hours' drivo through the pleasafct suburban and farm districts lying between Auckland andOtara, beyond Otahuhu, put the visitors in good humour for tho business of the day. A sniff of genuine country air, and a spin between the well-grown hedgerows that map out in verdant squares one of tho most fertile and picturesque farming districts on this side of the Equator, was a fitting pre paration for the arcadian delights in pros pect. The farm, known to old residents as Hickson's, is situated in the Tamaki Valley. By the present roundabout route, the distance is computed at 17 miles, but a bridge across tho Tamaki would bring the farm within a quar£<Jr of .in hour's drive of Otahuhu. The* settlers are now consider ing a proposal to raise the required amount, about £4,000, under the "Roads and Bridges Construction Act;" a rate of one ' shilling an acre on 4,000 acres will suiiice. The road now passes through tho Otara district. Entering tho path way teding dp to tho homestead by a gate on the main i'oad a fay; hundred yards be yond the lodge of Mr BtysVs well-known farm, tho visitor sees stretching away to his left a tract of ninety acres of slightly undulating land, which was planted last eeason with upwards of 40,000 apple trees. |On his right hand is a nursery containing 0,500 young stock, which were worked for the Compah r by Mr James Mason, of Par nell, this year, and which will be ready for planting other parts of the farm next year. The contract price for 10,000 was £20. The total area of the property is computed it ! about 2-10 acres of rich, well-farmed land. :On some parts of the farm wheat has been ■ grown for aix years in succession without manure, yielding iifea?;' crops; and wheat and potato crops have lately beon reaped undorcontractsletby the owner of the farm before i t came into possession of the Company. The yield of wheat this year was abont JO bushels to tho acre. Tho fertility of the soil is further shown by the fact that the Company have received an oiler of £50 for tho oat crop grown between tho rows of trees upon about eight acres ft orchard, tho distance between the trees being 30ft. In the remainder of tho orchard the inter roning spaces had not bsen cropped, but it is intended to plant potatoes noxt season. The history of this very interesting enter prise is soon told. Public attention having been prominently attracted to fruit-grow ing in tho North, a number of gentlemen last year resolved to make tho experiment on an extensive and systematic scale. The Company was formed with a capital of £10,000, in 10s shares, 15,000 of which were taken up : tho balance are reserved. The farm sincg acquired was offered on terms which left £y,OOO of the purchase money (that is, the whole amount less £G00) on mortgage at 7 per cent.; the directors resolved to accept it. That they could not have made a more judicious selection, must be admitted. In addition to the proximity of the farm to the city, it has the extra ad vantage of deep ■ water carriage up the Tamaki, giving a freight rate to Auckland of 3s per ton. There is a landing on the estate. Tho soil is a good strong eemi-vol canic loam, easily worked and well adapted for tho growth of fruit trees. Having de cided upon the site, the directors lost no time in commencing operations. They were fortunato In meeting with a thoroughly practical manager, Mr Perry, who proved his own faith la the pecuniary success of the undertaking by taking up 1,200 of the Company's nharee. Tho directors have had no reason to repent this appointment. The good order which prevails everywhere on the farm, and the vigour with- which all its operations have been prosecuted, provo that the super vision is in good hands. The farm only camo into the possession of tho Com pany at tho beginning of last winter, and before tho season was over 47,000 trees had been planted. Tho plan adopted for the greater pait of tho orchard waa 10 feet distances, in quincunx form. It is intended to permit tho trees to grow at these short spaces for three or four years, and then to thin them as required to about 17 feet spaces. Tho trees were selected from all tho Auckland nurseries, and aver aged 9d apiece; the cost of planting was ■«s Cd per 100—a very low price. During tho ensuing season, fifty acres more will bo planted at 30 feet distances, tho ground being cropped between ; 2,300 trees will havo to bo purchased for this purpose, the stock in. the Company's own nursery not being yet sufficiently advanced. Between fifty and sixty acres of grass are being laid down on tho farm) with the intention of taking in horses to graze. In several specially favourable we'l-shcltored situa tions, orango and lemon trees will le planted. Tho plough is being kept f.t work, in preparation for theso autumn and wintor operations. The party on Saturday made a tour of tho wholo farm under tho guidance of Mr Perry, who pointed out on tho ground what has already been dono and what is pro jocted, to tho outiro satisfaction of tho directors. In consultation on tho spot, tho directors agreed to various permanent irn provomonts in the farm, including the erection of a storage shed at the landing place. The party then returned to the manager's homestead, a modest but pretty' littlo cottage erected by the Company. Hero dinner had boon prepared, and was attacked with sharpened appetites. After wards, an hour was spent in examining the trees, which showed remarkably good growth, and an abundant promise of fruit next year (the ago. of tho stock being con sidered). A number of very fine apples gathered this season wero shown, a Lord SuHield, which turned tho scale at ■10 CMinces, having been "plucked from a tree with!'! a year of budding. Everyone havif^u.oorfoctly satisfied himself that tho Comfmy nfS;" 13 doing tho right thing in tho rjghtvny a2fi^ the shareholders having made s.jn'o in'tS -?stins !

Election of Licensing Committees.

(To the Editor. )

Sik,—A circular headed as above has been passed into tho hands of most of. the rote payers of the North Shore and Takapuns District, advising tho householders who are the eligible candidates of the temperance party for the election of tke Licen sing Committee, which U to take placo next Tuesday, the IStJj inßt. So far, no one can lind fault with the trainers of this circular—evidently pub lished by the Temperance Society with the view of securing the sympathy ot the house holders of tho district to their movement. To substantiate their cause, they nay the local police reported on Sunday, March the 2nd, that " three men were found drunk and incaixible on the public road—a scene he had never before witnessed at Devonport on the Sabbath day." One would infer from the above that the three men in ques tion had got drunk with drink supplied to thorn by one or both of the houses at Devonport. Such was not, however, the ca?e, as tho threo men (sailors of a steamship) had come across in the 1,30 ferry beat quite under the in fluence of drink. One of them.being much mors tipsy than the other two, entered the Flasetaft' Hote'j where they were refused drink, upon winch on getting outside the house they became very abusive, and were a great annoyance from (he coarse language used to numerous lodgers residing in the house. It appears they rambled round the road and tried the Masonic Hotel, when the landlord, with the assistance of the police, got them ejected from his premises. Find inf they could got no drink from either house, the? determined to have a sleep in their drunken stutc by tho roadside. Tho above being a true statement of the move ment.- of those tars upon and after their ar rival in Devonport, may I ask—How can we in future place any reliance upon the Devon port local police loports? I should not have troubled you, Mr Editor, but I am vory fond of the exquisitely-beautiful suburb (the North Shore), an* know the two hotels there are conducted too respect ably to allow this attempted slur upon them to pass unnoticed.— I am, &c., PerambulaSo.b.—Queen-stieSt;filarculotn, 1384.
