A® rde On t AC Hs Xt L r% Fruits, Vegetables Below Average Most fruit and vegetable crops throughout Ontario suffered from adverse weather conditions in the Jate spring and early summer and as a result production generaily will be below average. Condition of the commercial fruit and vegetable crops in the province were revealed in a reâ€" port issued by the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Agriculture recentâ€" estimated production is 25 per cent below the Niagara and Burâ€" lington areas. Cherries and plums are irregular with some varieties ef each looking good. anda grapes are reported to be generally in good condition but Estimated production of apples and pears is below average but the fruit is clean and sizing well. CHERRY AND PLUM CROPS BETTER A bright spot in the Eastern Ontario picture is the sour ‘cherry crop which is 20 per cent larger than last season. This is still beâ€" low normal, however, as last year‘s crop was extremely poor. Plums also look good in the East with the production increase esâ€" timated at 35 per cent, mostly in the Damson variety. The pear crop will be only 50 per went of that produced last year while there will be 80 per cent less apples marketed this season. Vegetable growth throughout the province was generally retardâ€" ed by the early adverse weather but has improved since, especial!â€" ly in Eastern Ontario.

Simply stated, to have fish, there must be trees over a considerable porâ€" tion of the watershed that supâ€" plies the streams. Right Temperature The existence of the brook trout in Ontario is closely deâ€" pendent on the forests. Like all other creatures they have certain definite physical and chemical requirements of the environment in which they live. Of these, temâ€" perature of the water seems to have great power as a limiting factor. If the water in the stream is too warm, there will be no trout; if too cold, the food is scanty or nonâ€"existent and again there will be few or no trout. This temperature range is quite (By G. C. Toner) FORESTS AND FISHES The fishery biologist is vitally concerned with forests. He knows that trees and â€"woodlands> catch and hold the water during <the time of the year when precipitaâ€" tion is high, releasing it gradâ€" ually during the summer. In forâ€" that trees and â€"woodlands and hold the water durn time of the year when pre tion is high, releasing . it ually during the summer. | ested regions the enrino narrow, from 45 degrees to 65 degrees with a variation, either way of 5 degrees, and within these limits the trout passes its whole existence. Trees Along Streams Water from the earth is usually at 55 degrees, winter or summer. This is close to the most suitable temperature for the speckled trout. In shaded valleys the springâ€"fed stream is protected from the sun ard wind but in the open fields it soon warms. Trees alonz the watercourses are an insurance against warm water. so a landowner, to keep condiâ€" tions right for the trout, should plant trees along the valley, close to the stream, and should protect those that are already there.

Plants draw heavily on the food stored in the roots in order to produce flower and seed and they are at their weakest stage immedâ€" iately after the crop has been removed.

For the control of annual and winter annual weeds, shallow, thorough cultivation is recomâ€" mended by using the plow, oneâ€" way disc, cultivator or dise harâ€" row. Seeds are brought near the surface by this plan where they germinate and may be killed by subsequent cultivation. An abunâ€" dance of moisture plus the methâ€" ods outlined above, will destroy millions of seedling plants of such weeds as Wild Mustard, Stinkweed, â€" Ragweed, Foxtail, False Flax, Pigweed, Lambs Quarters, Shepherds Purse, etc. An abundance of moisture will prove favourable for the control of annual weeds but will upset all plans for the control of perâ€" ennials, particularly those with underground rootstocks.

In 1938 the total for registraticns was $26,230,196 and the gasoline taxes $41,247,688, making a total revenue of $67,477,884. Controlling Perennials For the control of perennial weeds having deep tap roots, such as Bladder Campicn and Chicory, deep plowing is recomâ€" mended as soon as the crop has been removed, followed by cu‘â€" tivation, using wide, sharp shares which overlap. Thorough, freâ€" quent cultivation both ways is essential in order to cut roots and bring them to the surface where the sun will assist in deâ€" stroying them.

McSpaden can be seen peeking over Mr. Seagram‘s shoulder in the above picture. History was made last week in a railway car on a remote counâ€" try siding near Ogdensburg, N.Y., when the Prime Minister of Canâ€" ada, Mackenzie King, and the President of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, met for a fourâ€"hour conference and came to an agreement which is one of the most momentous ever recâ€" orded in the annals of this hemiâ€" sphere. Mr. King and Mr. Rooseâ€" velt discussed the mutual probâ€" lems of defense in relation to the safety of Canada and the U. S., and, following their meeting, isâ€" sued a statement outlining the three provisions agreed upon: esâ€" tablishment of a joint U.S.â€"Canâ€" adain board of defense; this board to "commence immediate studies relating to sea, land and air problems, including personâ€" nel and material;" plars for conâ€" sidering the defense of the northâ€" ern half of the western hemiâ€" sphere. Thus was cemented the closest bond yet set up between the two great democracies in North America. Toward Mutual Assistance Pact The significance of the new agreement was not likely to be realized in its entirety for many a long day. Political observers meantime saw in it an indication that a mutual assistance pact beâ€" tween Canada and in the United States might be in the making; that the Roosevelt administration intended to blanket the Dominion under the protecting folds of the Monroe doctrine; that the armed forces of the two countries mignt at a future date be unified under one command.

The Ogdensburg agreement was followed immediately by a sensaâ€" tional move on the part of Briâ€" tain. Speaking in the House otf Commons, Prime Minister Chureâ€" hill stated that 99â€"year leases of sea and air bases in Newfoundâ€" land,_ Atlantic Islands (perhaps a réference to Bermuda) and West Indian points had been ofâ€" fered to the United States. Next day British foreign office sourcâ€" es confirmed reports that the Unâ€" ited States had leased the Islands of Canton and Enderby (midway between Hawaii and Australia) from Great Britain as air bases. Sceds of the Future These developments gave an impetus to movements in both Great Britain and the United States working for union of the two great powers. Many prophets envisioned a coming world in which five mammoth groups of countries (English, German, Rusâ€" sian, Japanese, Italian»y would struggle amongst themselves for trade, .combine and reâ€"combine against one another to keep a balance of power. © In his same speech to the House Mr. Churchill declared that Britain sought no advantage for herself from the offer to lease the New World bases, but he did appeal for "timely reinâ€" forcement" of Britain‘s navy from the United Statesâ€"an apâ€" parent reference to recent discusâ€" sions of United States‘ aid in filling gaps in the British fleet with overâ€"age destroyers. A Year of War Reviewing the year of war just coming to a close, Mr. Churchill found the scales heavier on the side of Britain. He acknowledgâ€" ed that a "cataract of disaster" had poured out during the last three monthsâ€"the Netherlands and Belgium conquered, France forced out, Italy in the war against Britain, Somaliland gone., But, on the other side, he said, "we have reâ€"armed and reâ€"built ‘our armies in a degree which would have been deemed imposâ€" sible a few months ago; our navy is far stronger than it was at the beginning of the war; our bombâ€" er and fighter strength after all this fighting is larger than it has ever been; our advantages ‘and resources are enormous." > (Briâ€" tish casualties in the first year of this war reached 92,000, includâ€" ing civilians, as against 365,000 army and navy losses in the first year of the last war). Speaking even as three waves of German bombers roared aâ€" cross Britain‘s coast, renewing the furious assault of the Nazi air siege, Mr. Churchill let fail enigmatic words: "We may be sure that Hitler will continue his air attacks as long as he has the strength and as long as any preâ€" occupations he may have in reâ€" Mcmenan es spect of the Russian Air Force allow him to do so." (It was beâ€" lieved Mr. Churchill was suggesâ€" ing that Hitlee might refuse to send his air force against Britain in a longâ€"sustained campaign for fear its ranks would be decimatâ€" ed, leaving Germany at the mercy of Russia‘s numerically powerful air force). : Victory, Or Stalemate That Hitlee would have to achieve a victory over Britain by midâ€"September or concede a stalemate in the war was the opâ€" inion of Associated Press corresâ€" pondent Kirke L. Simpson who pointed out that within a few weeks bad weather would be the general rule in the North Sea and the English Channel climaxâ€" ed by equinoctial storms of unâ€" predictable force and duration. During the week Germany proâ€" claimed a "total blockade" of the British Isles. Included in the blockade were Ireland and ail coastal waters amound if%:itain. The area specified began on the French Atlantic coast approximâ€" ately at the mouth of the Loira, extended right around the Briâ€" tish Isles to North Scotland and down the British east coas;, reaching the Continent again at the coast of Belgium. Eastern Hotâ€"Spots Developments in the Midd‘le East were expected hourly last week. The longâ€"awaited assau‘lt on Egypt by Italy was believed not far off, led perhaps by an aerial attempt to conquer Aden, Britishâ€"held eastern hinge of the gateway to the Red Sea (British Somaliland constituted the westâ€" ern hinge). Tension in the Balkans also increased with a doubleâ€"barrelled Axis drive in prospect, Italy io jump on Greece; Germany to march into Yugoslavia. But bzâ€" hind the scemes forces were beâ€" lieved working to prevent such a push towards the Dardanelles and the east. Russia plainly was enâ€" couraging Greece and Turkey to resist an Italian advance through Greece; which might result in Hitler calling Mussolini off beâ€" fore he would take a chance on having to fight Yugoslavia, Turâ€" key, Greece, Russia and possibly Bulgaria. In order to prevent war breakâ€" ing out in Southeastern Europe at this time, Hitler appeared to be exerting pressure on Hungary to accept Rumania‘s final answ=r with regard to the disposition of Transylvania (King Carol offered Want a strange flowe; namâ€" ed?

And at the same time, reports were current that an early settlement would be reachâ€" ed between Rumania and Bulgarâ€" ia over the Bulgarian demands on southern Dobruja. The undeclared war betweon Japan and China entered its third year during the week. In commemoration of its outbreak, General Chiang Kaiâ€"Shek deliverâ€" ed a message to the Chinese people which reaffirmed his deâ€" termination to carry on the fight against Japan until "all Chinâ€" ese soil has been freed of the inâ€" vader."
