TOO BAD
• All this disturbance in Palestine and its environs is a sad ,
mistake. 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. When
British blood has ,won the field these folk will be anxious to sit in
at the peace table. It'e an. old trick but decent men appraise it
at ita-trne':value.

Latest reports indicate that 11'4-
r= County's apple crop this fall will
be •a good •one, in quantity as well
as quality. 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.
