'Bumper' crops are melted away by heatwave «I : Is bathroom floor tile the face of Christ? / WINNIPEG (CP) -/Like a lot of other Prairie farmers, Isadora Halyk thought his crops would be top-notch this year. But that was before a relentless sun beat down day after day, searing the canola, wheat and barley that Halyk and his two brothers are just beginning to harvest on their 1,000-hectare spread near Melville in eastern Saskatchewan. Grain kernels shriveled under the heat- lamp sun and cloudless skies. Halyk said barley was especially hard hit. "We got half of what we should in weight, he said. Across the West, farmers are being disappointed as they begin harvesting crops that had looked like bumpers. Over the last few weeks, major grain elevator companies have been revising optimistic production estimates downward.' Last week, United Grain Growers Ltd. and Pioriëer Grain Co. Ltd., both with grain elevators across the Prairies, predicted total production of the six major western grains and oilseeds will be down from last year's record of 46.7 million tonnes. tonnes. I Earlier projections placed the harvest of wheat, tiarley, oats, flax, canola and rye at much fcloser to the record. ■ "As we mow, the crop is reduced because of not weather, particularly in Manitoba," said John Clark, a United Grain Grower^ spokesman. Despite the reduced expectations, United Grain Growers' last report estimates production across the Prairies will reach 42.2 million tonnes, which would be the second largest harvest ever. "We have what you call a good, average harvest," said Clark. At Strathclair, Man., Brad McDonald and his two partners are starting to harvest canola, barley, wheat and field peas on their 600 hectares. "There's a quite a bit of heat damage in it," said McDonald from his spread near the western Manitoba town. "It's going to be another hang-in-there year." Although crops were looking good early In the season, a heat wave in July and especially August has cut yields. At Regina, the capital of Canada's most important grain growing province, temperatures have hit 30 or more on 17 days this month. Only 6.5 millimetres of rain had fallen by Tuesday, well below the average total August rainfall of 44.8 millimetres. • Reduced yields are discouraging for many farmers who had another lush crop damaged last year by an early frost on Aug. 27. Although the heat has reduced the number of tonnes of grain being taken off fields, the quality of many crops is high. The Canadian Grain Commission, a federal agency that sets standards for grain, reports many Prairie farmers will get a premium for their wheat this fall because it is especially high in protein. CONSTANCE LAKE, Ont. (CP) - An estimated 3,000 people from across Canada have been drawn to a bathroom in this village to see an image said to resemble the bearded face and head of Jesus Christ. But a religious leader in the community, 250 kilometres northwest of Timmins, is not convinced the image is anything more than time-worn linoleum adhesive. The image is composed of dark spots on the cement cement floor of the bathroom and is the only part of the floor which is smooth, as though polished. It is in the home of Josephine and Elias Taylor, both Anglicans in their mia-30s, who live on a Cree Indian reserve with their five children. "I was just going to the bathroom in the morning and I looked down on the floor and saw the face of Jesus," said Mrs. Taylor. "It was never there before and I called my husband husband and children to come and see and they were just as surprised as me. "I called for our minister to come and look and a few friends, and more and more people were coming." coming." She said people starting knocking on her door within days of the discovery. The news apparently spread by word of mouth and since then the Taylors have been collecting signatures of visitors from as far away as Vancouver and Halifax. Mrs. Taylor said many of the visitors claim the image is à warning sign that the world will soon end. "Some people cry when the see it and they put a cross in there (the bathroom) and a Bible and holy water," she said. "They leave their beads in there.
