" " THE ROSS . GAZETTE THURSDAY , APRIL 2 , 1914 . Among the Fruit Trees . FIELD DAY IN THE GLEWSTONE PLANTATIONS . THE NEW GRADING MACHINE . An interesting field day held under the direction of the Herefordshire Association of Fruit Growers and Horticulturists , took place on Thursday last , when , through the kind permission of Mr. J. Martin Newton , a goodly company of the members of the above Association assembled at the Glowstone Fruit Plantations near Ross , which are at any time worthy of inspection . The main object of this field day , which was the first of the season , was to make an inspection of Mr. Martin Newton's new fruit grading machine , an invention of his own , which is creating considerable interest in the fruit - growing counties of to - day , and also his new fruit picking bag . Demonstrations were given in the methods of spraying and the mixing of sprays , whilst a ramble round this 50 acre plantation , so beautifully kept , and in a really ideal spot , provided an additional pleasure to the outing . The majority of the company came from Hereford by train , and these were met at the station by a three- horse char - a - banc , and driven direct to the plantation . Others joined the party at Glewstone by means of motors , and among those present , we noticed Dr. H. E. Durham , the energetic president of the Association , Mr. George Marshall , the vice - president , Mr and Mrs. John Riley , Mr. Lancelot Riley , Mr. B. T. P. Barker ( National Fruit and Cider Institute , Long Ashton , Bristol ) , Mr. R. Wellington ( Wye College , Kent ) , Major Norbury , Mr. Paget Norbury , Miss Norbury , Mr. M. K. M. Power , Mr. J. W. Millyard , Mr. Hanley Stevenson , Mr. and Mrs. E. Bal- lard , Mr. S. Ballard , Mr. R. H. Cazalet ( Malvern ) , Mr. J. H. Clarke ( Dymock ) , Mr. P. B. Barneby , Mr. H. Langston , Mr. H. Pewtress , Mr. R. E. Ridler , Mr. J. H. Whit- ing , Mr. W. Parry , Mr. A. G. Bunn , Mr. F. Boddington , Hon . Mrs. Wilmot , Mr. W. Cook , Mr. J. H. Wootton ( Llangarren ) , Mr. J. Porter ( County Agricultural Organiser ) , Mr. A. J. Manning ( Horticultural Instruc tor ) , Mr. G. Kemp ( Ross ) , Mr. A. Hiles Smith ( Secretary ) . On arriving at Glewstone , the party were met by Mr. Newton and Mr. Kelly , who ac- companied those present over a portion of the plantation , which looked remarkably clean for this time of the year , while the trees themselves were just beginning to burst into leaf and blossom . In the course of the ramble , we learned that the principal varieties of apples grown at Glewstone in- cluded Lane's Prince Albert . Worcester Per- main , Cox's Orange Pippin , Newton Wonder , Bramley's Seeding , Warner's King , Ecklin- ville Seedling , Lord Derby , and Ripston Pin- Ipin , together with other equally as saleable fruit .

CRUELTY TO A SHEEP . SERIOUS CASE AT LYDBROOK . A serious case of cruelty to a sheep with a broken leg was heard at Coleford Police Court last week , before Mr. C. T. Palmer and other Magistrates , when Allen Hale , a young collier . of Lydbrook , was summoned by under John Berry , inspector N.S.P.C.A , for cruelly ill - treating a ewe by neglecting it on February 23rd . the on the parents . and he had nothing further to add The Coroner said the only point that could be raised in this case was whether there was any neglect on the part of the parents under the provisions of the Children's Act , and whether proper care was taken . But in this case there could not possibly be any in- fringement of the Act , or any neglect of the slightest degree on the part of the The jury agreed . Dr. A. J. Campbell stated that on Thurs- day evening , he was summoned to Ruxton , Llangarron by wire , and on his arrival he found the little girl suffering from severe scalds . He advised her to be taken to the Hospital , which was done , and he attended the child up to the time of her death . The cause of death was from shock and scalds . A verdict in accordance with the medical evidence was returned . The Coroner said this was a very sad case , and he was sure the jury would join with him in expressing their deepest sympathy to the parents of this little girl in their loss . Mr. Sainsbury , the foreman , concurred . MODERNISM AND THE CHURCH . BISHOP OF HEREFORD AND A MEMORIAL .
