Results of experiments in * sen has caused the drying up of the the average of the last two years i the Ontario Agricultural College show that when the crop was dose cut (twice) winter rye produced a total tonnage, before damage by ser- Uus frost, of 2.6 tons of green crop per acre, and winter wheat of 2 tons of green crop par acre. Should these crops not be needed for pasture this autumn they can be left and pastur­ ed in early spring. Millet If millet can be seeded unde: fa-| vourable conditions by July 25th it will produce a fair crop of hay by’ early autumn. The Hungarian var­ iety of millet is one of the best var­ ieties to use and it should be seeded at the rate n: about three-quarers of a bushel per acre..

Sizing of all trees fruits has been retarded. Currants, gooseberries and raspber­ ries have been disastrously affected, with the total yield reduced by more than fitfy percent. and the quality is consideabrly below average. Beets, late cabbage, late cauliflowers, corn, lettuce, early potatoes, early toma­ toes. spinach and garden peas have all suffered very heavily. A heavy rainfall at the present time would serve to prevent any great amount of loss to this year’s fruit crops. A continuation of the heat and drought will, however, ser­ iously meduce the present outlook. The further period of drought which fruit crops can withstand varies with the orchard and with temperature conditions. A number of orchards have already reached the border-line A good -rainfall would improve the present critical tree fruit situation to a marked degree. Apples are siz- j ing well to date, and insect pests are fairly -well under control. Th anticipated production of later I varieties of cherries, both sweets and sours, has been considerably reduc­ ed in many areas due to heat. Pears sized well until the intense heat per­ iod arrived which retarded growth and caused some sun scalding in ex­ posed locations, development of the peach crop has been good and only light sun-scald is in evidence as yet, Essex reports good crop prospects and fair tree condition, but in the Niagara Peninsula, wood and tree mortality continues. Heat damage, together with tree and wood mortal­ ity, has further, reduced the pre­ viously anticipated light production of plums. The codition of the grape crop has also deteriorated during the past month and the yield will be con­ siderably below average. Early frost damage, previous winter injury, the present drought, dead arm injury and some chlorosis have all tended to lessen the size of this year’s grape crop. MR. AND MRS.

The aristocracy seemed to be a people apart from the rest, and there was even a cleavage in language. French was the speech of the court. Today the system of government is the very reverse. Russia is now the leading communistic state in the civilized world. There are many nationalities in the Union, probably the most interesting, to western peo-ple at least being Armenia, for the Armenian Church is the oldest national Christitan Church, Chris­ tianity being officially recognized as the state religion in 300 A.D. From the fifth -century there is a national language and literature. Massacres by the followers of Islam have been frequent. Longeevity is extraordinary in Russia, for in a population of about 146,000,000 there are 30,000 per­ sons who are over a -century old. Most of the centuries are women. The rural population is 80 per cent, of the whole. Moscow, the capital, has a population of over 3,500,000. Canada’s trade with Russia in re­ cent years has been small, the fiscal year 1935 cur amounted to $265,000, or those of t-he previous year exports to $22,000 also double. The leading commodities we have been getting are potato starch, resin, or­ iental carpets, potash, soda and com­ pounds and furs, such as caracul, sable and seal. Our chief export last year was coal, no doubt for the fuelling vessels.
