THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JOLY. TT, 1929 = SIZ OF CROP "DEPENDS ON JULY WEATHER in Vigorous Condi- dition But Weeks Eo Late Toronto, July 11.--~A crop bulletin ust veceived from the West, dated July 2, gives some interesting figures 'that up until now were impossible. The wheat, oat and barley acreages have been considerably increased. The area sceded to wheat is unoffi- cially estimated at 23,997,800 acres, which is approximately half a million acres above last year or less than 2 per cent. Oats and barley have been given increased acreage in unofficial reports, with about 1 per cent. in- Jcrease in oats and 10 per cent. in bar- ley, being the respective forecasts. It is probable that these forcasts will be generally borne out by official figures.| All grain crops are entering July in vigorous condition, but in point of growth are a week or ten days late. Generally speaking, the weather dur ing June was too cool and too dry for rapid growth. Rains occurred during the last week in June, bringing relief to many districts that were badly in need of moisture. The so- called dry areas of Southern Alberta are better off in regard to moistgre than some of the northern areas that heretofore have been considered safe, The weather has been patchy, with showers occurring during the past ten days, all of which have done good, but in most districts a real good rain would be welcome. Hail damage has been negligible so far, but the West- ern crop is now looking the hail sea« son right in the face, figuratively speaking. 'There has been little or no damage from insects, but in scattered light soil areas the wind has caused some loss. Frost was recorded on June 12 at.several points, and on one or two occasions during - the month, but damage of a serious nature was con- fined chiefly to the garden and tender crops. Although the wheat crop was actually frozen in some districts, the setback was only temporary, Cool, bright weather is unfavorable for the development of rust, and the extent of the infection, if any, this year will not be known for some time yet. Weeds have been complained of in some districts, but adverse reports in this connection are not as general as we expected, in view of the impossi- bility of getting any substantial weed germination and growth before seed- aia J £27 & ng.

When all is said and done, Western Canada, with more than 35,000,000 acres of grain, 24,000,000 of which is wheat, is capable of with- standing a lot of spotty weather, and yet give a good account at harvest time. Bumper crops always meet a bearish market in normal times, and many farmers are convinced that thg average crop, being less expensive to handle and usually meeting a better market, nets a profit comparable to that obtained from exceptionally high yields. Live stock conditions continue fa- vorable in the West, with markets holding 'at profitable lévels and pas- ture conditions generally improved. The proposed increases in the United States tariff against Canadian cattle have not materialized as yet, and the latest rumors are that Canadian cat~ tle are urgently needed south of the border, and that President Hoover is endeavoring to make the tariff chan probably an average, or less than an werage, crop, Warmth and plenty of | ges as favorable as possible to Canada 'Watermans You can select, with con- fidence, a Waterman's Stainless Pen and a Waterman's pen-point that are both guaranteed to give you writing satis- faction at all times.

Sea- sonable dry weather will develop a profitable crop and supply ample feed for live stock.. So 1929 shduld be a fairly good year for the West. LONDON MEETING Paris Wants International Conference in Neutral Country Paris, July 11.--Differences of opinion between the Governments of France and Great Britain as to the place and procedure for the proposed international conference to put the Owen D. Young reparations into oepration, appeared unscttled Monday as the Quai d'Orsay elabor- ated on the text of its reply to the British motes d The: British apparently have brought some pressure to bear in an attempt to have the conference held in London, but it is certain that France will make every effort to have the meeting in some neutral country. It is considered fairly certain that the meeting will be set for early in August--probably August 6--if the differences are ironed out. France, which considers choice of the place of meeting as of utmost importance because of the vital po- litical 'problems to be discussed, is willing to permit. England to choose the site if no allied capital is sec- lected. Switzerland is considered the best place because of the technical and political nature of argument which must occur and the problem of dealing with 'the press. Foreign Minister Briand conferred with Ambassador Von Hoesch, of Germany Monday afternoon, ac- quainting him with France's reply to Britain's suggestions. France also favors slow stages in developing the discussions while it is understood the Prime Minister MacDonald of Great Britain, would prefer to have one big conference at which the problems, such as evacuation of the Rhineland, will be threshed out. plan Protest Plan Duesseldorf, Germany, July 11.-- Flemish and Westphalian industrial- ists and economics mecting here to discuss the Owen D. Young repara- tions plan, added to Germany's na- tionalistic protests against acceptance of the plan by passing a resolution which said they would decline to guarantee fulfillment. The resolution said the Young plan represents political as well as econ- omic solution of the reparations prob- lem and the associations represented at this meeting therefore decline to guarantee fulfillment of the plan." Paul Reusch, leader of the mining and smelting industry, told the dele- gates that "no reasonable person" be- lieves the annuities in the Young plan can be paid from export surplus. He said the result would be that, when the plan comes into effect, there will be a "frightful selling out" of Ger- man economic interests, Te GINGER ALE O'Keefe's Dry, like a rare old wine, is mellowed and softened by time alone...like sparkling champagne it is aged in the bottle. restaurants...or, for home from You can getit : use, O'KEEFE'S BEVERAGES LIMITED mar | at fountains, clubs and in the handy 6 and 12 bottle cartons your grocer or t. I ¥ ~ West Indies, AIRPLANES SPEE UP MAIL SERVICE New Service Opening Mon. day Will Afford Rapid Transmission FAST CONNECTIONS Greater Distances Involved More Impressive Gain In Time Ottawa, July 11.--Amplifying the announcement of the inauguration next Monday of the aerial mail ser- vice from Montreal to Detroit, the Post Office Department in a state- ment Monday savs: "By means of this new service Montreal will brought. within six hours of Windsor and Detroit and within ten hours of Chicago. Letters posted in Montreal up to 9.15 am, daylight saving time, will be deliv- ered in Toronto, Hamilton, London and Windsor on the afternoon of the same day. The hour of departure from Montreal is timed to permit close connection being made with the principal mail trains from the Mari- time Provinces. "Still greater gains will he made in the case of mail for Chicago and points west, north and south of that city served by air, as well as for the Canadian West and Pacific Coast. As in the case of all air transport, the greater the distance involved the more impressive the gain in time. "The departure of the planes from Detroit is timed to permit the mails dispatched from that point being de- livered in Montreal the same after- noon, thus affording exceedingly fast | connections for incoming mail from the far and middle west." By 'means of this new service ma- terial Eastern and Western Canada will: be provided with fast mail com- munication as never before, and a step will have been taken toward the coast-to-coast air mail route which the Postmaster-General is aiming at, but which conditions, beyond his con- trol, involving a great deal of ground work outside the scope of the Post Office Department, will render im- possible for a few years to come, Montreal already has, of course, a speedy air mail service affording fast connections with the United States through Albany. This service, which was inaugurated on October 1, 1928, has proved to be a signal success in expediting communications between that city and the United States, Air mail posted at Montreal follows: General Post Office up to 12 noon as Stephen's Building up to 12.15 p.m. (D.S.), goes forward by plane and connects with the U.S. overnight plane leaving New York at 8 p.m. the same day for Cleveland, and with the overnight plane leaving 'New York at 940 p.m. for the Southern States connecting at Atlanta for Mi- ami and New Orleans, with a gain in' time of 15 to 36 hours for those points. This service also affords di- rect connections with the air mail services from Miami to Cuba, the Panama Canal Zone, Nassau and Porto Rico, as wéll as Central and South America. The air mail service from Montreal is wide in scope, and holds real benefits for the business man and the mailing public generally, "The local postal officials will be glad to advise on any point, indicating the actual savings in time that can be cfiected. ~ JURY & LOVeLL'S OPTICAL PARLORS | J.
