INTRODUCTION 

It is now fourteen years since the Thiele Family of Doncaster 1849-1989 was published to commemorate the 140th anniversary of the arrival of our forebears in Australia on 6 March 1849. This year marks the 150th anniversary of their settlement at Doncaster in 1853 and was therefore considered an appropriate time to update the family record. 

In this companion volume, the family trees are presented in their updated form together with a brief history of the family background in Germany prior to the emigration of our forefathers to these shores 154 years ago. Information for this section has been researched by family descendants in Australia on visits to Germany. from parish records of the Lutheran Church at Kodersdorf where members of the family were baptised and worshipped, and at Horka where the parents of our forebears in Australia were married in 1819. 

Further research into our ancestry in Germany will remain a task for future generations and it is my hope that this publication might provide some incentive in that direction. 

The following statistics may be of interest to readers of this addendum. 

As at 16 April 1989: 

• Total number of descendants including spouses/partners -1047 As at 24 October 2003 : 

• Total number of descendants including spouses/partners -1490 (approx) 

• Number of family units -460 

• Oldest living descendant -Oswald Tudor Straede, born 21 September 1913 

• Youngest living descendant -Rachel Page Harrison born 16 September 2003 (sixth generation) 

May this publication provide an ongoing link between past and present generations of the Thiele Family and give to the younger generations in particular a sense of place and pride in that which binds us together as one family -our common ancestry.

1989 FAMILY REUNION 

Areunion of approximately 200 family descendants of Gottlieb and Gottfried Thiele was held at 

Doncaster, Victoria, on the weekend of April 15-16, 1989. 

The weekend reunion began with a morning tea and light luncheon at Holy Trinity Anglican Church Hall at Doncaster, which included the official launch of the original family history book 

The Thiele Family of Doncaster, 1849­1989 by Pastor John Sims. 

On Saturday afternoon, a car tour of historic sites associated with family forebears took place. The tour included stops at Waldau Cemetery and Trinity Lutheran Church, Doncaster; Boroondara Cemetery at Kew (which contains the graves of Gottlieb and Gottfried Thiele, among others); Trinity Lutheran Church,

THE THIELE FAMILY IN SARICHEN 

Since the publication of the original family history in 1989, further research has provided some interesting details to add to the already scant amount of information already known about the background of the Thiele family in Germany prior to the migration of Gottlieb and Gottfried Thiele to Australia. 

It is known for certain that Gottlieb and Gottfried Thiele hailed from Sarichen, a small farming town located near the city of Garlitz in the former Kingdom of Prussia, and emigrated to Melbourne in 1848. From their migration records, it is also known that Gottlieb's occupation was that of a tailor, and his younger brother Gottfried a stonemason. Gottlieb was also married and had two young children.

baptismal records would suggest, before some members of the family settled in Sarichen in the early 1800s . 

What has hampered research in recent times is the fact that some 95% of the original township of Sarichen was obliterated during fierce combat between advancing Russian troops and retreating Nazi soldiers in the closing stages of World War II, thus destroying many valuable records, sites and family links to the area in the process. The nearby towns of Kodersdorf and Horka were, however, spared major damage. The small Lutheran churches in these towns survived, the former being where the Thiele family attended worship services. 

After the war and the subsequent division of Germany into zones of occupation by the Allies, Silesia was for the most part partitioned and the tiny remaining portion of the province, which included Sarichen, became part of the German Democratic Republic (DDR). Furthermore, access to any surviving records was made difficult by the communist authorities that governed East Germany until 1989. 

With the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe in 1989 and the reunification of East and West Germany in October 1990, travel to regions within the former DDR was made much more viable as was gaining access to existing family sites and records. 

The Origins of Gottlieb and Gottfried Thiele 

From the baptismal register located at the Kodersdorf Lutheran Church, it has been ascertained that Gottlieb and Gottfried Thiele had six siblings, two of whom died in infancy. Some sketchy details of Thiele descendants of at least one of these four other surviving siblings can be gleaned from anecdotal information provided by elderly residents of the village in the 1990s. There is, however, no-one bearing the name of Thiele in the village of Sarichen today. 

The marriage register at the Horka Lutheran Church has also survived, and the following (translated) entry appears for the 28th February 1819: 

"Johann Gottfried Thiele married Maria Rosine Jahne, born in 1791, the adopted daughter of Johann Dittrichs of Oberhorka-Miickenhain. Johann Gottfried Thiele was born at Miickenhain in 1790 to a single mother. His father was Willy Elias Dhirls, a market gardener" 

From the date of the marriage entry at Horka, it is also evident that Johann Gottfried Thiele and Maria Rosine Jahne ma1Tied only 11 weeks before the birth of their first child, Johann Gottlieb, who was born on 16th May 1819. It is not clear what Gottfried's occupation was at the time of his marriage, however baptismal records for his later children reveal that he was a building constructor, or mason, in Sarichen. 

How Gottfried came to be given the surname Thiele is unclear. One theory is that it was his mother's maiden name.

However, it is more probable that his mother married after he was born and that it was the name of his adoptive father. In a baptismal record located at the Kodersdorf Lutheran Church for the first of Gottfried's children, Johann Gottlieb, in 1819, his brother Andreas Thiele is listed as a witness. It is also recorded that Andreas was a farmer at Sarichen. In 1835, another baptismal entry reveals the existence of Andreas' wife, Maria, as well as their eldest son, Juvenes Johann Gottlieb. 

Curiously, a Hans Georg Thiele is mentioned as being a witness at the baptism of Johann Gottfried Thiele in 1825; also a Michael Thiele, son of Hans Christoph Thiele, at the baptism of Johann Traugott Thiele, in 1828. The relationship of these other Thieles to Johann Gottfried snr cannot be clearly established. 

Eight children are known to have been born to Gottfried and Maria Thiele. All of these children were baptised in the Lutheran Church at Kodersdorf. They were: 

1. Johann Gottlieb THIELE (born 16.5.1819; baptised 18.5.1819) * 

2. Anna Rosine THIELE (born 4.9.1820; baptised 16.9.1820) 

3. Johanna Christiana THIELE (born 4.3.1823; baptised 11.3.1823) 

4. Johann Gottfried THIELE (born 24.9.1825; baptised 28.9.1825) * 

5. Johann Traugott THIELE (born 6.2.1828; baptised 9.2.1828; died 16.11.1835; buried 18.11.1835; reason given for death: arthritis) 

6. son [unnamed] (born and died 22.5.1830; died suddenly of apoplexy at 5 hours old) 

7. Johann Christoph THIELE (born 29.8.1831; baptised 31.8.1831) 

8. Johann Michael Gotthelf THIELE (born 29.9.1835; baptised 5.10.1835) 

* emigrated to Australia in 1848

It is probable that some or all of Gottlieb's and Gottfried's surviving siblings who remained in Germany married. From scant evidence available, it is believed that, apart from Gottfried snr's brother Andreas, there were Thiele descendants still living in Sarichen until the early 1930s. 

According to the research of Tim Bunge, a family descendant who visited Sarichen in 1991, there was someone by the name of Gotthelf Thiele (possibly a son of Johann Michael Gotthelf Thiele, the eighth and youngest child of Gottfried Snr and Maria) who lived in Sarichen from c.1860 to 1930; he had three children -Martha, Hedwig and Berthold. 

Martha and Hedwig both married, but their respective husbands were killed in World War I. Martha is known to have had two sons, Erich Renner (b.1910) and Herbert Renner (b.1915), both of whom were killed in World War II. Berthold, his wife and son migrated to western Germany around 1933 and their present whereabouts, or those of any descendants, is not known. 

Since 1997, no other comprehensive research into the family origins in Germany has been undertaken. Further work may yield more information that could add to the Thiele family story.

Appendix 1 

The German Settlement at Doncaster 

The precise time in 1853 of the Thiele family settlement at Doncaster is not known. However, information that has recently come to light suggests that this would most likely have been in the latter half of that year. 

Initially the German settlers called the area in which they settled Breslau, after the capital city of the Prussian province of Silesia from where a number of them had emigrated. However, it would appear that by about 1856 the use of the name Breslau was discontinued in favour of the name Waldau, meaning a clearing in the forest. This may well have alluded to the clearing of land to plant the first crops. At that time the area was extensively timbered in Yellow Box, Stringy Bark, She-oak, Peppermint and Apple. Black Wattle was also abundant. The area was sometimes refen-ed to as the 'Stringy Bark' range. 

Although the name Doncaster was officially used from 1853, the small German settlement retained the name Waldau for many years. Roads were given German names and these remained until the outbreak of World War 1 in 1914. Victoria Street was known as Bismarck Street, King Street as Wilhelm Street (presumably after King Frederick Wilhelm IV of Prussia) and George Street was called German Lane or sometimes Waldau Lane. 

The earliest known reference to the German settlement in the area appeared in a monthly German church newsletter known as Der Pilger in Victoria (The Pilgrim in Victoria) published by Matthias Goethe, the pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church, Melbourne. This was published for the benefit of members of his congregation and outlying areas such as Germantown (Grovedale) near Geelong. It would appear that only six issues were published, all of them between July and December of 1853; it was replaced by Die Christenbote in 1860. 

Edition Number 3 dated 30 September 1853 contains the following statement: 

The German Settlement of Breslau 

Several German families recently purchased 750 acres1 ofland in the vicinity of Templestowe on the Yarra about JO miles from Melbourne. There they intend to establish a German village to be called Breslau. Some weeks ago a meeting was held at that very place and it was decided to make the following announcement: 

We the undersigned landowners in the Colony of Victoria have decided that Section 9a, b and Section 10 situated near Templestowe in the County of Bulleen2 should be known henceforth as Breslau. 

Straube, Helbrig, Walther, Reinitz, Grunert, Kaiser, Simon, Schultz, Gottlieb Thiele, Gottfried Thiele, Christian Finger sen., Christian Finger jun., Wilhelm Finger, Heinrich Finger and Pastor Goethe3. (Reproduced with the permission of Rare Books Collection, State Library of Victoria.) 

The amount of land actually purchased was 784 acres. 2 This should correctly read the County of Burke, Parish of Bulleen. 3 Not all of these people lived in the area and some sold their holdings to other settlers, who were for 

the most part German.

Appendix 2 Friedensruh Property 

This photograph is believed to be an early view of the Friedensruh orchard as seen from the north (now the eastern end of Ruffey Lake Park). The original photograph is in poor condition and on the reverse side are the words "an ancient view of Friedensruh" hand written by Alfred Thiele ( 1868-1960) who lived on the property for the duration of his life. 

Viewed from same position today, the profile of the land looks the same. A small section of Victoria Street (then known as Bismarck Street) can be seen at the extreme left. The plantings in the centre are most likely berries which were grown on the property in the early years before any extensive planting of fruit trees was made. However, some orchard planting is discernible (centre left). Ruffey Creek, which at the time supplied water for the irrigation of crops, can partly be seen at right of the vegetation in the foreground. 

The house (upper left) is that of Carl or "Father" Aumann. Trinity Lutheran Church, built in 1892, now stands on that site in Victoria Street. Below the Aumann house is the home of August Lenkersdorf who was the local carpenter. This property of approximately two acres was purchased by Alfred Thiele about 1905 and the buildings demolished for orchard expansion. The house (right of centre) is Friedensruh, the Thiele home, but in its early form before later additions were made. The house on the hill (upper right) is that of the Fromhold family. 

The photograph would most likely have been taken circa 1870s. 

Appendix 3 

Heritage Markers -Ruff ey Lake Park 

In 2002, twenty heritage markers were erected around Ruffey Lake Park as a key component of the interpretive strategy adopted by the City of Manningham in the development of the park. These markers form the basis of a heritage trail and depict sites that were, for the most part, connected with the families who previously owned and farmed the land on which the park is established. 

Appendix 4 

The following article appeared in The Australasian on 6 July 1907 under a report on fruitgrowing and is reprinted here. However the article is incorrectly attributed to the orchard of Mr A.E. (Alfred) Thiele and was in fact that of his brother A.F. (Frederick) Thiele in Church Road Doncaster as the description of the irrigation system and fruit store clearly affirms to those who still remember the property. 

THE DONCASTER DISTRICT (by our own reporter) 

RECOGNITION OF IRRIGATION 

It has come to be generally recognised that if fruitgrowing is to be made profitable, some system of irrigation must be practised. There are very few districts where a full measure of success can be gained without the use of water. No matter how favourable are the climatic conditions, it almost invariably happens that during the summer, there comes a spell of dry weather which arrests the growth of the trees, exhausting their vitality, and temporarily checking the development of the fruit. Though cultivation may go far towards imprisoning the moisture, keeping it in the soil and within the reach of the roots, if a heavy crop of fruit is to be brought to maturity, the trees should not be handicapped by being made to search for it during a time when they require all their energies to satisfy their own needs. The trees may recover from a severe setback without serious injury but a crop of fruit rarely can. The ill­effects will be noticeable as a rule in the pinched or dwarfed appearance of the fruit. Or it may be that the assistance of an artificial supply of water is necessary during the spring to ensure the setting of the blossom. Districts which cannot enlist the sympathy of a paternal government and are beyond the reach of any public scheme, or which are without the assistance of rivers or creeks, labour under a very big difficulty. The absence of any natural water supply, therefore, imposes upon the Doncaster growers an important and a heavy task. But it is one that has been resolutely faced and to a great extent accomplished. As far as possible, in a great many instances the orchards are now supplied with a complete irrigation scheme of their own, full advantage having been taken of the hilly nature of the land, by the construction of capacious dams in the hollows to provide storage accommodation for a large enough body of water to tide over the worst weeks of summer. To do more than this is impossible. The enormous quantities of water that would be necessary to completely satisfy the demands of the trees during a long drought could not, as a rule, be conserved unless huge dams were constructed, and though these could be erected, every footi or two additional rise in the height of the face embankment would be accompanied by the submergence of perhaps an acre or two of landii. Many of the dams are built as close to the summit of a hill as possible, the dip between two steep slopes being closed at the head of the valley, so that all the land lying beneath its lowest level may be served by gravitation. Often these hillside excavations are used for the dual purpose of storing water for irrigating the lower parts of the orchard and as the main reservoir for subsidiary distributing depots made on the highest and most conveniently situated parts of the property. A system therefore, as complete as the physical characteristics of the district will allow has been designed, and that despite many obstacles. 

USING THE WATER 

The orchard of Mr A.E. Thiele, the president of the Doncaster Fruitgrowers' Association, furnishes an instructive example of dauntless enterprise and thoughtful design. The value he places on an efficient system of reticulation which can only be obtained when there is a big supply of water, is evident from the trouble and money he has expended on his service. Mr. Thiele's supply consists of four dams, two in the hollow, which are capable of storing just over one million and a quarter gallonsiii, and two on the crest of the hills, which bring the total storage capacity of the place to over two million gallons. The water is pumped from the lower dams by means of an 8-horse power steam engine, working at a pressure of 50lbiv_ This force is sufficient to till and propel the water through a main two inchv pipe to both the hill reservoirs. Once the top dams are filled the connection between the pump and main pipe is cut off, enabling it to be used for distributing the water through the pipes which run at right angles at varying distances throughout the whole orchard. These cross-pipes are generally placed at six or eight row intervals and range in size from one inch to two inch, according to the height of their position. They are fitted with a series of taps which allow a hose to be attached for conveying the water from one row to another. Surface irrigation is the only system in use, and by the aid of a plough furrow, the water is made to run to any part required. The water is allowed to run outside the trees and never near the base, for a time varying from ten minutes to a quarter of an hour. The citrus plants, Mr Thiele has found, do not require the water in such large quantities as other trees. During a dry spell it is customary to let the water run through a three quarter inch hose for ten minutes. At the expiration of this time the tap is turned off and no water is given to the trees for a fortnight. Larger quantities of water have a tendency to make the soil cold. Several trees were pointed out that had been over-watered last year, and in all instances they were on the side where the soakage was greatest, invariably of a yellow and sickly appearance. These trees appeared to be suffering in much the same way as one would expect to find those ailing from collar rot. Experiments in winter irrigation have so far shown that the ground does not dry, and should rain follow there is a great risk of the land becoming supersaturated, and of the soil being carried away by the wash and water. Irrigation is 

consequently seldom resorted to between the months of April and the latter end of August. 

VARIOUS PESTS 

As a fruit-growing district, Doncaster has been very well treated, having everything that could be desired -situation, climate, soil, and facility of a close market. It has also a very fair share of things which are not desirable, namely, insect pests. With the exception of the fruit fly, most other pests and diseases that harass the orchardist, codlin moth, black spot, scale, aphis, borers, red spider, shot-hole, collar rot, smut, and numerous others are present. The first two are the most prevalent. The codlin moth and black spot are the two pests which are causing consternation among the growers of pretty well all districts, and Doncaster could hardly expect to be exempted from these afflictions. Good work is being done to combat and keep them down. So far the arsenate of soda mixture has been proved the most effective for keeping down ravages of the moth, but care must be taken in the mixing, as an overdose burns the leaves and scorches the fruit. Mr Thiele is so particular of the mixing of this spray, that he does not trust his men to do the work, preferring to mix the compound himself, and so ensure more satisfactory results. The moth has been worse this year than ever. Apart from the spraying, the bandaging of the tree is done and inspected at intervals of eight days throughout the season. The bandaging is done by means of zinc strips placed around the trees, which serve the double purpose of providing a hiding place for the moth and a barrier to the root borer. This latter pest lays its eggs from November to January. They begin to ascend the trees from the soil during October and November, and unless prevented by bands, go up and lay their eggs in the leaves, which hatch and dropping to the ground, renew the attack on the roots. They are found in peaches and apricots, and this year odd ones have been found among the citrus, but most of their attention is given to the apples, pears and plums. In placing the bands to prevent their going up into the trees, care is exercised that they are so fixed as to have a slight slope, the sloping position apparently being more detetTent than a straight band. Trees attacked are noticeable by the weakly state of the buds and limbs. Fortunately this pest is fairly in check and the growers hope that the time is not very far off and the borer will be the exception rather than the rule. The peach aphis is another pest that the growers have to contend with and so far the only effective spray has been found to be the tobacco wash. This is mixed in the proportion of one bran-bag of tobacco waste to every 100 gallons of water. The tobacco leaf is placed in the water and allowed to soak for a week during which time it is frequently stirred and kept in circulation so as to thoroughly infuse the water with the tobacco. 

GREEN MANURING 

Each year sees an increasing tendency towards the use of the leguminous plants for supplying humus to the soil. This is not to be wondered at, as the system of manuring, while one of the most effective is also one of the cheapest methods of supplying the soil with nourishment. A good crop of green stuff, owing to the time it takes to decompose, keeps the ground in good heart, and this somewhat slow process of decomposition allows the plants to assimilate the various ingredients as they are freed from the crop. For the last two years it has been Mr Thiele's custom to sow field peas between the rows of trees. Drilling is resorted to, and a liberal dressing of 2cwtvi, of superphosphate is sown with the seed giving them a reserve to draw upon until they are well rooted and able to forage for themselves. The peas are allowed to grow until the flowering stage. At this period of their existence they are putting forward all their energy and drawing upon the air for nitrogen necessary to the formation and maturing of the seed and it is on this account that they are in the best condition for turning under. Generally the harrows are run over the crop to enable the plough to more satisfactorily perform the duty of turning it under. 

THE FRUIT STORE 

One of the most interesting features of the place is the building which receives the fruit from the orchard. The building is one containing a cellar and two floors. The ground floor is roughly three feet above the level of the ground and is used for packing purposes. The reason of this plan of construction is to facilitate the moving of the fruit into the store and packing-room. At the end, remote from the entrance, there is a room sufficiently large for a cart to be backed in, having a ramp going down to within a foot or two of the underground room , enabling the cases to be lifted from the cart either into the cool chamber or the packing room, to the latter by means of a landing several feet above the height of the cart, and nearly on a level with the floor. This obviates the carrying of any fruit up or down a flight of stairs. This is a convenience which would only have to be experienced to be thoroughly appreciated. The top floor, or case room, also contains an advantage which, unfortunately, is seldom seen. The louvres at each end of the room are wired in with very fine mesh, making them fly-proof and at the same time allowing of a free circulation of air. It is lighted by windows similarly placed, with troughs of two inches in width situated at the base, and running the whole length of the window. These troughs are filled with kerosene, and the entrance to the room closed. All insects brought in either in the chrysalis state, or fully developed must within a short space of time make for the light, and this natural instinct or fascination for the windows whichever it may be, is eventually the cause of their death. After vainly fluttering against the panes of glass, and not finding a foothold, they become exhausted, and one by one drop down into the trap awaiting them. Another point worth mentioning is the construction of the windows which light the cellar. They are constructed with two panes, so fitted as to enclose an air space, which forms a sort of regulation chamber, keeping a more even temperature throughout the summer and winter.

This article is re-printed from The Weekly Times dated November 11, 1933. Sound Management Displayed in a Doncaster Orchard Noted for High-Quality Pears 

By "Tillage" 

Few of the orchards which I have been p1ivileged to visit in this State bear evidence of such careful lay­out and good management generally as that of Mr. August Thiele of Doncaster. Orderliness and thoroughness are the keynotes of his operations and everything is kept in its place. The land consists mostly of heavy grey soil, overlaying a light loam, and clay under that. 

Mr. Thiele took possession in 1897, and has planted 29 of the 43 acres in the prope1ty. It is almost surrounded by pinus insignis, which provide fine shelter for the fruit trees. The owner, however, has come to the conclusion that while some protection of this kind is desirable, it can be over-done. Exclusion of the air, he considers, assists in the development of black spot -the most destructive fungus disease in apples and pears. 

Practically the whole of the orchard is underground drained with two-inch pipes, which are connected with three-inch outlets. Six catchment dams provide water for irrigation. The largest of these can be filled from a windmill, and supplies also are available from the O'Shanassy scheme. 

Spraying operations are greatly facilitated by a platform in the centre of the orchard, on which the material for this work is prepared and stored. There are four casks, three of which are used for bluestone and the other for lime. The casks have a capacity of 40 gallons each. 

Although he is regarded as one of the best pear growers in Victoria, Mr. Thiele, with characte1istic modesty, asserts that there are many men, even in his own district, whose knowledge of that branch is at least equal to his. He states that up to about four years ago apple and pear growing were very profitable, but since then low prices, particularly for export fruit, have been a severe blow. 

Last season he shipped 4500 cases of pears overseas, on which it is doubtful if any profit will be made, but payable prices were obtained for 2000 cases supplied to the Sydney market. In his opinion better regulation of shipments is necessary for the export trade, and after the disastrous results from the 1933 crop, there is now general agreement among growers on that point. 

Eighteen acres are under pears, comp1ising the Beurre Bose, Josephine, Packham's Triumph, Winter Nelis, Winter Cole, Broompark and Black Achan vaiieties. The Bemre Bose, Josephine and Winter Cole are regarded as the best commercial kinds. 

The last-named was the worst seller among the peai·s exp01ted last season, but Mr. Thiele points out that this cannot be taken as an indication that it is declining in populaiity, as the shipment arrived when the market was over-supplied. He had found the Winter Nelis a shy bearer, but its fruit is of good quality. 

The trees are 18ft. apait, and provision has been made for cross-pollination by having the different varieties interspersed with rows of other kinds which bloom at the same time. Some pear growers consider that Beurre Bose is self-fertile, but on this property it has been found to do better alongside another variety. 

In many instances cultivation work in orchards is performed in a haphazard manner, neatness in ploughing being a secondary consideration. This, however, is not so in the case of Mr. Thiele. He ploughs twice in the spring on the crosswise principle, and once in autumn. In addition the land is well worked in autumn with the solid tine cultivator, or the spring-tooth if it gets hard. 

Most of the cultivation work is done with tractor power. At one time only blood manure was used, but for the last two years a complete fertiliser has been employed, the allowance being from 4 to 61b. a tree, according to its general condition and the crop being carried. The complete fertiliser promises very well, and on some parts it is being alternated with blood manure. 

The advantages of having a green crop to be ploughed under in spring are fully appreciated, but the obstacle to this practice often is that it cannot be sown early enough to avoid clashing with harvesting or other operations. 

The whole of the orchard is sprayed in winter with red oil at the rate of one gallon to 20 of water, as a general safeguard against scale pests. Black spot is a source of great trouble in the pear crop. Last year it was necessary to spray six times with Bordeaux mixture of 12-8-80 strength, but three seasons ago the spraying programme was even more extensive than this. 

Vaiieties such as Packham's Triumph and Winter Nelis are found very susceptible to the disease. Liberal pmning of the pear trees is claimed to be a decided advantage. During the last couple of years some of them have been cut back six or seven feet, and not only has the yield been equal to that obtained before the trees were heavily lopped, but the fmit has been of better quality. 

Spraying, harvesting and other operations have also been facilitated by having the branches lower. Therefore, the future policy in the case of all pear trees will be not to let them get too high. 

Thinning is practised with pears and apples, and the proportion of culls is reduced to a minimum. The operation is carried out soon after the setting stage, so that all the energy of the tree goes into fmit that will be eventually harvested. 

The area under apples is seven acres, consisting of the Jonathan, Yates, Rokewood, Five Crown and Stewart's Seedling varieties. The Rome Beauty was given much attention up to recent years, but it has gone out of favour, and is being worked over to the Granny Smith and Stewart's Seedling. 

Alternate Bearing 

Irregular beating of apple trees at Doncaster is a big problem as in many other pa.its of the State. Mr. Thiele states that the only varieties of which he is reasonably sure of a crop every year are the Yates and Rokewood. The former yield a heavy crop and extensive thinning is necessary to ensure high quality fmit. 

Experience generally among orchardists who grow the Yates is that it rarely produces fmit above the dessert size. It is often difficult to keep the fmit up to a reasonable standard, even on vigorous growing trees. 

The manuring of apples is the same as for pears. Black spot is much more easily controlled than in the case of the pear crop, one application of Bordeaux mixture and one of lime sulphur in propmtions of two gallons to 80 of water being sufficient. An ai·senate of lead spray is given for codlin moth. 

Lai·ge quantities of apples are placed in the co-operative cool stores. The Five Crown and Stewart's Seedling are sold mostly in Melbourne but the others are sent to the Sydney and Brisbane mai·kets. 

Like most of the orchardists at Doncaster, Mr. Thiele gives attention to lemons, having about two acres of the Lisbon vaiiety. At one time he had a cittus nursery on his property and supplied many of the trees now to be found in the disttict. 

Evidence of the suitableness of this land for lemons is supplied by the fact that one acre ( or 100 tt·ees) has furnished up to 1000 cases. The fmit is available throughout the greater part of the year.
