Just when the world was settling down to business some folk over there threw the goo d% will machinery. out of gear. We can't but think that the story of the real cause of the trouble would make interesting treading. Stiltmore interesting would he the story of Britain's effort not only to prevent this war Mit Co rerniive— all causes and ocassions of a holy war with the Mohammedans. While other nations have been seeking their own private ends Britain has been doing what in her lies to soothe the savage heart of the brooding East. The fact is the whole of the East is like a powder mill waiting for the fatal spark. Under Britain's wise, guidance all is being done that wise men can do to educate the Eastaway. froin prejudices and hatreds and ill will of ancient vin- tage together with the jealousies existing from the time of the Floed, towards good will based on 'Sound principles and' carried out in, just conduct. Only thus can the wounds of the races long pass- ed by enlightenment be even approximately healed. Britain is a keen trader, but 'before she is a trader she is the friend of Man. Her battleships, .her .armies and her war planes signify, not com- mercial aggrandizement on her own part, but justice to every man whatever his history sad whatever the color, ?f his skin. Meanwhile nations. without the law are standing by looking for. the opportunity to trade under the shield of Britain.

Careful spraying and at- tention to orchards has been a big factor in bringing • about this result. •Farmers in the majority of cases are through harvesting and thresh- ing Is In full swing, More stook: threshing has been clone than for many years . Indications are that the grain yield will be satisfactory, possibly •a little better than average. Oats are a good sample and •a fairly heavy yield in •spite of the fact that the straw was unusually short. Barley is also yielding well, some going 51 bushels to the acre. Beans have been showing up well until recetitly, when some pod spot is beginning to show. In some cases this may affect the beans, but where te crop is well advanced it may not penetrate to the grain. Some of the beans are being harvested. Some alfalfa, which. has been •left for seed, is showing up well. Corn, owing to the wet and cold. spring, is baslcward, as are most roots. Rain is badly needed both for roots and grass. Hay was a good crop and was stored in ex2ellent condition. A recent survey of crop conditions throughout Western Ontario places Huron's crops in the foremost ranks. A. staff corresondent of the Lon- don Free Press writes: "Huron—the solid, prosperous county of farms, villages and towns, in a climate more rigorous than most Western Ontario—has about the best crops of any eounty in the district. 'Travelling from Exeter up through Walton and Brussels,, past Wroxeter, down to Wingham, along to Clinton and here to the county town your crrespondent found almost uni- formly good crops of grain. Huron, too, has suffered from the drought, which has been general this year all over Canada, yet, although the vol- ume will be reduced, the quality is high and there is a sound prosperity based upon successful diversified agriculture. The wheat crop has been good, averaging from 33 to 35 bushels to the acre, and weighing over 60 pounds. There is not the spottiness here which is to be observed in the more southern and western parts of Western Ontario. There are almost uniformly good yields. Oats, now being harvested, are also ,good. The garden vegetables and potatoes have not suffered' excessively from lack of rain and are doing well. Apples are late but in fair volume The apple crop was a bit spotty. Early and fill 'varieties have been 'a failure, with winter varieties giving indications of a full yeld. The fruit is clean., although apids are numer- ous, Size and color are good. *****10,!***FM.441•10*********,* Huron County Showing' Large Grain Yields Miss Annie May Robinson, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James H.
