- Photographs of apple growers from Oxford County inspecting Elgin orchards, taken on August 20, 1946.

P. Aitchison, manager of the Elgin Fruit Crowers' Co-Operative, and Robert R. Waddle, retired Dominion fruit inspector. The Times-Journal photographer caught the visitors and their escorts in one of M. W. Meek's beautiful apple orchards off the Union Road, Southwold, inspecting one of the many trees loaded with snow apples. Mr. Hambidge's new orchard near Staffordville; Frank Heffer's orchards, south and west of Aylmer; the Meek orchards; R. D. Ferguson's orchards on the Union Road, Southwold; the orchards of W. H. Mills and Son, Sparta; and Mr. Hambidge's young orchard off the Caverly road, west of Aylmer, were visited. The part had noonday luncheon at Invererie Heights, Port Stanley. The Oxford growers were favorably impressed witht he apple crop prospects in Elgin. In the above picture, from left to right, are: Arnold Burton, George Laird (secretary and manager of the Oxford Fruit Growers' Co-Operative), Elmer Karn, John Longhurst, Harold Hambidge, R. R. Waddle, H. T. Aitchison and R. Webber (president of the Oxford Fruit Growers' Co-Operative). Oxford's apple crop prospects compare with those in Elgin. Orchard treatment methods and spraying programs and results in Elgin orchards were observed by the visiters."
