Strawberries are reported in fair condition, but with some winter killing. The spring frosts to date have not seriously hurt the crop, except in very limited areas. RsSpberries promise well but no over production. Reports are almost unanimous that the show for bloom is excellent. It must nOt be forgotten that the critic a1 period of “setting” is not yet re- ported over any large area. The weather has been very unfavourable for pollination for the past two weeks in Western Ontario. It is also too early to report on fungus and the most destructive insects, mans. Pear bloom is most abundant. The commercial plum sections all report the outlook favourable. The lightcrop last year as well as the good weather conditions for growth has piaced the plum trees in excel- lent condition for a large crop this year, if insects, frost or fungus do not intervene. It is not too early to make preparations for an exceptional crop and prevent a repetition of the disastrous losses 0‘ 1903. PEACH 68. The new plantings have scarcely balanced the winter-killing of 1899 and 1903 so that even with afavour- able outlook for this season on heal- thy trees the aggregate crop will not be large. WW A o. FRUIT DI VISION. Ottawa, May 27 , 1905 FRUIT CROP “PORT. The general conditions for fruit of all kinds are excellent. The winter, though cold, has not resulted in ex- :eeptional damage to trees and vines. ' The only serious losses are from two girdling by mice, and the mutilation of trees by the heavy snow iall' 1n the Maritime Broyincas. Minor losses by winter killing‘in Eastern Canada are reported 1n o'asea of trees injured but not killed outright by the winter of 1903-04. as well as in cases of trees that were overloaded in 1904. ‘ DEPABTIEfi '1" OF AGRICULTURE have just learned that a.

The notes stolen from Hartman’s Bank on October 9th last were found below Moore’s new dam. two miles south of Meaford on Sunday last by Mr. Murray, of the Molson’s bank, who was taking an afternoon walk. Early on Monday morning he tele- phoned Mr. Hartman. who drove up and along with Mr. Murray and ex- Chief of Police Owens made a search on the spot where they were found and succeeded in recovering the whole bunch in fairly good Order. The burglars appear to have known the locality fairly well it being a fa- vorable spot for them to keep out of sight. They had been seen in Mea- ford the night previous to the burg; lary here, and must have gone straight up the gravel road’past Mea- ford which would lead them to the spot where the notes were found.

STOLEN NOTES FOUND. “The House of Quality.” The new rules for automobilists are certainly stringent enough to suit all except those who would like to see the “devil wagons” forbidden the roads. An automobile in approach- ing another vehicle must slow down within a hundred yards to a speed not greater than three miles an hour, and if any accident happens, the man with'the auto must prOve that he was not at fault. The latterlclause seems to be un-British, and should not be applied to one class of men more than another. The numbers on the vehicles ; will require to be six-inches in diam- eter. and illum‘ed if the machine is running ‘at' night. ‘The' autos will look like travelling sign-boards, but perhaps smaller letters, might not al- ford the man who has been run over an opportunity to;traoe the» motorist who did it.
