Overview

Excerpt from Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture of the Province of Quebec, 1900 The good roads policy is developing perceptibly and the spirit of routine seems destined to give way before a better appreciated idea' of progress. A great step has been taken in the direction of the improve ment of roads. During the past three years about miles of roads have been made or repaired with the road machines and there is a happy augury for future in the fact that, if nothing is yet done in some places, information is nevertheless generally asked for, which is a manifestation of the desire to have better roads. The many prizes awarded by the jury of the Paris Exposition to fruit from the Province of Quebec are the best proof that we can devote our selves with advantage to fruit-growing and the experimental stations established in this province show us that at present there can be no doubt of success for all who wish to take up the cultivation of fruit trees. In fact we see in the special reports that by practising a proper selection, apple, cherry and fruit trees grow well, soon become hardy and yield good crops before long. The judges in the competition of agricultural merit have made a very detailed report of their visits and there is no doubt that farmers will derive great benefit from the practical observations it contains. They have also made a suggestion which cannot fail to specially attract public attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
