“TELLING TOMMY” Again on July 21. 532 head of Can- adian cattle from 8.8. “Airthria” were sold at Glasgow and met with a sharp demand. The shipment was more a mixed lot than the exceptional qual- ity of the previous shipment. but the cessation of shipments from the Irish Free State owing to the imposition of a tariff of 20 per cent. created a keen demand. Prices were from 20 shillings to £2 a head or more higher than the Recent advice irom the Canadian Government Trade Commissioner at Glasgow.

Five representatives of the Fruit and In a statement issued recently by NEWS AND INFORMATION FOR THE BUSY FARMER Britixh Fruit Men See Ontario By Pim (Furnished by Provincial and Dominion Departments of Agriculture) Following is a summary of cr0p con- ditions in Ontario at the end of July: The harvesting of fall wheat was prac- tically completed. Yields were about average and the quality of grain splen- did except in fields damaged by Hes- sian Fly or lodged. Spring wheat. oats. barley and mixed grains were improv- ed by rainfall but yields will be lower than last year due to unfavorable wea- ther at seeding time and in the first three weeks of June. Harvesting of barley and oats was under way the first week of August in Western 0n- tario and the following week in East- ern Ontario. Pastures are good in the central and western districts. but poor in the western part. due to insufficient rainfall. Hay and clover crops were good yields in western and central On- tario. but the hay was damaged by wet weather. Alfalfa yields were heavy and 2 Blueberry Supply Heavy , The volume of blueberries reaching {the market this year is considerably greater than that of any recent prev- ious year. This is the Opinion of C. E. Brougliton. Ontario Marketing Board. Mr. Broughton said that hitherto blue- berry picking has been an activity con- fined to farmers. This year. however, many of the unemployed haveturned to the picking and selling of this fruit as a means of obtaining ready cash. In the Sudbury district alone it is re- ported that approximately 500 unem- ployed are engaged in this work. Based on the most recent figures, express! shipments from this section are great- er than those of last year by some 3,- 000 eleven quart baskets. A Warning "Look out for Hessian Fly this year,” is the warning of Professor Caesar of O.A.C.. who declares that unless con- trol measures are taken this fall, there is likely to be a serious outbreak of the fly next year. Among control measures he advises that all wheat stubble be plowed under as soon as possible after wheat is cut. This buries all insects left in the field. The ground should be worked after plowing so as to firm it. Plowing and firming prevents the flies from coming up as they cannot go through even three inches’of well- firmed soil. Prepare the seede as well as possible so that it will be in excellent condition for rapid growth. and sow ony good plump seed which will germinate quickly. Sow just as late as is safe in your district without run- ning the risk of having too short a growth to winter safely. Late sowing is the most important of all the con- trol measures. Safe dates for sowing would probably be about September 5 east of Guelph and about September 20 to 25 in Essex and Kent, and about half way between these two dates should be suitable for the intervening districts. The reason for these late seedings is that the flies have about completed their fall egg-laying before the date mentioned and thus the wheat largely escapes infestation. P. W. Hodgetts, secretary of the Fruit Growers' Association, stated that the fruit producers of Ontario should feel elated at the Opportunity of wel- coming these visitors from the Mother- land, as this group represents the lar- gest potential market for Ontario fruit in the British Isles. Portraying the extent of business eflected by the Fruit and Produce Exchange, Mr. Hodgetts said that last year, a single Branch of this British concern had purchased one million boxes of apples. After having spent several days in this Province, the visitors continued their journey to New: York, where they will attend a meet-i ing of the International Apple Shim! Produce Exchange of Great Britain, in- cluding the managing director of that organization, have recently completed an inspection of the fruit producing areas of Ontario. The party was con- ducted under the sponsorship of the Frui: Growers' Association of Ontario, and at the invitation of Andrew Ful- ton. Mr. Fulton is the commercial rep- resentative of the Association on the British market. Crop Conditions This visit to the North was a revela- tion to us. The road was most interest- ing passing through a variety of pic- turesque forest land, rich farming country and the grimrner mining ter- ritory and pulp areas. It opened our eyes to the vastness of Northern Onâ€" tario and the riches of our own prov- ince. I would certainly urge on every- one to make it his ambition to visit our great Northland. by means of cyanide and pulverized zinc. The final product we did not see, as our visit was made on Sunday, and besides a visitor needs a special per- mit to see this process. After our visit was over we hunted up a “snootie” tea room at the other end of the town, . where we dined ofl.’ roast chicken and ldressing and raspberry Shortcake and whipped cream, all for 50 cents. This put us into an excellent humour, so that we thoroughly enjoyed our rapid journey over the rest of the road to ‘North Bay. Kirkland Lake is a very ' busy town, the busiest which we visited {and it is said there is no depression there. But like most mining towns it is no beauty spot and life has its sor- did side. The ugliest mining town is! Cobalt. The houses are all wooden,: never having been treated to a coat of paint, and are brown and weather- stained. The town is built on the rocks and has no level. Haileybury on the other hand, is a very beautiful town, looks down on a lake and has an ex- cellent hotel we were told. The three towns. New Liskeard, Haileybury and Cobalt, are only short distances apart. We reached North Bay Sunday about 7 o’clock and on Monday returned home by way of Orillia, Barrie and Owen Sound, completing a journey of 1,400 miles. Clerk: “I'd like to go to my mother- in-law’s funeral this afternoon.” Boss: "80 would I.” On Saturday we left on our return journey, deviating from the Ferguson Highway to see Iroquois Falls, which lies to the left as we come south. The town is laid out nicely and is beauti- fied with shrubs and plants. It is also noted for a large paper mill. About 3 o'clock we reached Kirkland Lake, our destination for that day, on condi- tion that we be shown through a gold mine and mill. After applying to Mr. Knapp of Lake Shore Mine and, being assured that we would be taken down the next day we made up our minds to stay. As the hotels did not look in- viting we secured on chance recommenâ€" dation, a room in a rooming house. The next day, donning an iron-tapped helmet, a long rubber coat and high rubber boots, and taking a lamp, we descended 2,000 feet below the surface where we were shown the many mys- teries of mining. We were taken through the great mill, where we saw the ore crushed and the gold extracted Continued from page 3.) ment experimental farm. Once a. year the farmers from the country round assemble here to get any new informa- tion the government can give them on Farm labor supply is quite sufficient to meet the demand. Wages range from $12 to $20 a month for the haying and harvest period, but many farmers who need help badly are getting along with- out, as they cannot pay even the low wages prevailing. In regard to fruit, pears, peaches and grapes will yield average craps, while plums and apples show greatly-reduced prospects. The commercial production of apples in Ontario is estimated at 556,000 barrels as compared with 1,- 175,000 barrels last year. second cutting developed rapidly. Root craps have improved but will not be up to the usual standard. Corn, though backward, has made good growth, but many fields are uneven and spotty. Potato acreage is estimted 7 per cent. less than last year and production will be below normal. Blight and Leaf Hop- per have caused damage. A large acre- age of buckwheat was sown and ap- pears in first-class condition. Wind and insect damage together with lack of sufficient hot weather has reduced the tobacco prospects in Norfolk. Seed pro- duction prospects for alfalfa and red clover appear poor. July was too wet for a good set of alfalfa seed. The acre- age of alsike shows a further decline this year.
