A rather peculiar accident occurred about 6 o’clock last Sunday morning on No. 6 Highway 13 miles south of Dur- ham when a light car went into the ditch. All day long the accident was a mystery as immediately after the ac- cident the occupants disappeared and apparently no attempt was being made to place it in Operation. The car was not badly damaged considering the ditch in went into, although the re- pair bill would run into something like eighty or ninety dollars. in view. when informed of the partic- ulars, Traffic Officer Hood sent a Dur- ham wrecking oufit down to tow it to Durham. Numerous and varied rumors were afloat regarding the accident, these running everywhere from the number. of beer bottles spilled when it went into the ditch to the one that it was a stolen car, and two young men, alleged occupants. were seen that morn- ing at Kenilworth, ten miles farther south. hoofing it along back home. The truth or otherwise of these rumors cannot be found out. although later it was divulged that the car was the prOperty of a man named Seymour, now of Toronto. but formerly a resi- .dent of this locality.

NOTED APPLE TREE WEARS 107 CRAFTS of Major I". A. Good. near Frederick- ton. N.B.. which has received press recognition in Europe and America. has now a total of 107 grafts. Of this num-w ber. planted by Major Good, only two or three are to be replaced through failure to grow, and there is still room for a dozen more grafts on the tree. Major Good. one of the instructors in the Provincial Normal School, took up this branch of horticulure in an amateur way and continued in an at- tempt to find out how many grafts would thrive on an apple tree of an ordinary variety. His experiments in grafting include apple-scions growing on rowan and hawthorne trees, and pear grafts growing on apple trees. An account of the grafting opera- tions of Major Good brought letters on the matter from the United States and many of the Canadian provinces, as well as one letter from Germany. Mr. John McKenzie of Bentinck, two miles south-west of Durham, had six sheep killed and others worried by a police dog this week.

SHEEP KILLED BY DOGS SUCCESSFUL PU PILS DURHAM, ONTARIO, CANADA, Speaking to a Gathering at 0mm, in In these days of fault-finding it is enlightening to find praise being re- stored upon any one class in the com- munity for their efforts to make the best of present conditions and to car- ry on in the face of difficulty. As we stated last week in our editorial col- umn Canada’s farmers always have and always will do their part in build- ing up the country. In good times or in Price Lands Farmers For Refusal To Quit bad one may find them engaged in 9 their work, and while any success they may have may not be what might be anticipated, they carry on in a manner that should receive the commenda- tion of all. It might be fairly said the farmers are their own worst critics. They can never be accused of trying to be something they are not, and cer- tainly are not of the “bragging” sort. This is what makes the statements of Hon. Mr. Price interesting in his speech at Orono. them to our readers. The Attorneyâ€"General was accorded an enthusiastic welcome by the citi- zens of Orono which has achieved more than local fame with its proud boast that no depression exists within its boundaries. And Col. Price, while de-w voting most of his address to agricul- ture, complimented the citizens for set- ting an example to the rest of the province. “Some time ago I read an article in the Mail and Empire which described any unemployment, ” said Col. Price. It clearly showed coâ€"Operation on the part of all the people to bring this about. More particularly was I inter- ested in the simple ways of doing things, the ways that enabled accomp- lishments without a great expenditure of money. Extending Too Far Nick! 1 “The people of Canada have been ex- j tending themselves too far afield with- . out consolidating their advances. We 1 might very well give consideration to the methods adapted in smaller com- munities. The growth is not so great' but it is more consistent and leaves fewer scars behind." Dealing with agricultural problems the attorn'éy-general declared that the thanks of all classes of people were due to the farmers of Ontario for pre- conditions. The forerunner of improve- ment in general business conditions would be the increase in what the far- mer received for his products. 001. :Price asserted. In other words, people ‘ were getting back to basic principles. ‘1 do not know of any other class iof pe0ple who could have stood the prodigious decline in prices,” said the attorney-general. ........ “The farmer has had to produce and sell his product for; a price often less than one-third of what he used to get in average times. This condition has steadily confronted Governments. If it were something that . could be cured by a province or even a Dominion of the Empire. standing alone and working out their own sal- vation, then the problem might be sol- uble. Notwithstanding all of these at-. tempts to create a new era of pros- perity, the conditions have not im- proved to any great extent. That is why Premier Bennett felt that it was beyond the power of any one country, yet it might be within the power of the nations'within the British Empire to improve business conditions.

Although the day broke clear. to- wards 8 o’clock the sky clouded and threatened rain, later clearing, and from then on the weather could not have been on better behaviour. During the day numerous sports contests were held, consisting of softball and foot- ball games. In the fife and drum band competi- tion, Owen Sound and Vimy Ridge bands were tied. but in a second con- test the first place was awarded the latter. who represented the Calling- wood lodge. Catchy Weather Over One and One-half Inches of Rain Fell During Past Week. and Much Hay Cannot Be Stored. Local farmers are experiencing diffi- culty in storing their hay, owing to the rains of this week, the fall to date be- ing 1.84 inches since last Thursday, ac- cording to the gauge in use by the‘ Chronicle for this purpose. Of this. 1.12 inches fell on Sunday and .44 inches yesterday. We are told no particular‘ damage has been done so far. other than the extra work involved and that if the weather clears up the hay will be stored in first class condition. A summary of crop conditions just been issued by the Ontario De- partment of Agriculture, and crops are most promising. The weather in June was favorable for fall wheat and rye, ‘but too dry for spring sown grains and especially late crops. Copious rainfall at the end of June and the first week in July has relieved the serious tension and greatly improved prospects. In the territory comprised of Grey and nearby counties, says early sown corn is in good condition. but the late sown slow to germinate, patchy and generally backward. Roots and late potatoes were affected by lack of mois- ture but hay and early field crops were unaffected and are in excellent condi- tion. Haying is some days earlier than last year. Fall wheat is heavy and appears to be filling well. Some farm- ers report a small percentage of loose smut and considerable damage from Hessian Fly. Hessian Fly and insects are reported as more numerous in the Southern On- tario district, but crops are good. Cen- tral Ontario reports alfalfa and fall wheat in good condition, with pastures suffering from drought and in places very poor. Hay crops in Eastern On- tario were seriously affected by the cool spring and field crops are retarded. In Northern Ontario the hot dry spell of May and the first three weeks of June was a serious check to all craps. Re- cent showers improved conditions, but there will not be a heavy lay crop. Hay and pastures are poor and bar- ley yellow and very poor. Severe frosts on June 21 did a lot of damage in the 'Kenora district, while potatoes suffer- ed similarly on the 24th at Cochrane. The dry weather has been favorable for the deve10pment of insects, po- tato bugs and grasshOppers.

Besides a tightening up in the stand- ing. a real improvement in the play is evident as the playoffs loom near. The two games pleyed during the past week have been real battles. and both have turned on a single hit. Last Fridty night the Bachelors and the Hockey Club battled it out for seven innings ‘and the Bachelors went into the lost half of the seventh one run down. With one man on the bag. Elmer Tuck- er proved to be the man of the momâ€" ent by hitting one of the longest home runs of the season and the Bachelors won 7-6. On Tuesday night the Stud- ents and the Furniture Co. locked horns and required ten innings to come to a decision. The Students overcame a three goal lead acquired by the Fac- tory early in the game and stepped into the lead in the sixth. Twice after that the Factory. came from behind to tie the score. and then in the last of the tenth a home run again settled it, Goodchild getting the four-base blow after the man ahead of him had walk- ed. The final score was 9-7. The final innings were played in the half dark, owing to a late start, and the Stud- ents can blame this as much as any- thing for their defeat.

From then till the end of the fourth it looked like just a question of time till the Hockey Club broke through with another splurge and put the game in the bag. The Bach- elors. however, had other ideas, and from the third on held the Puck Chas- ‘ers scoreless. When the Bachelors came through with two runs in the fifth the excitement started to run high.

Owing to a late start which. by the way. was due to the Students’ delinquency, the last two in- nings were played in the halt-dark. and at the end it was difficult to see the ball unless it was in the air.
