The preliminary : estimate of the production of spring grains places the average yield fur the Province at 29.2 bushels per ac­ re for oats, as compared with 36.0 bushels in 1935, barley at 27.1 bu­ shels as against 32.2 bushels, and mixed grains at 29.5 bushels as com­ pared with 36.5 bushels a year ago. The aggregate reduction in the yield of spring grain from 1935. as shown by the first estimates, amounts to slightly less than the 20 per cent, decline forecast in last month’s Crop Report. These crops— fall wheat, fall rye, spring grains and hay and clover crops—com­ prise approximately 75 per cent, of the value of all field crops produced in Ontario, and from the above mentioned yields it will be seen that the effects of the drought,- while severe, were far from disas­ trous. The condition of late crops at the end of August was the lowest of any year since 1922, when condition figures were first established. Rains during the past week and in September the entire Province prove beneficial to potatoes and corn.

Proper fattening is an important part of any poultry marketing pro­ gram. There is r.o kind of poultry to which this applies more forceful­ ly than to young cockerels of broil­ er weights marketed during the summer months. The market gen­ erally becomes somewhat over-sup­ plied with small, unfinished birds during June, July and a part of August, which are dififcult to move into consumption and are not suit­ able for expoit. Consumption of poultry can be increased on the home market by selling the top grades, and premium prices are offered for such quality. The export market will absorb large quantities of Milkfed chickens ■weighing from two to four and one- half pounds per bird.

In Central which the fluid milk supply for the City of Toronto is derived, pastures were the worst in the Province and most dairy farmers have been stable feeding their herds for* weeks. The second cutting of alfalfa on many farms was used for feeding live stock and winter hay supplies were also fed freely,, which will make it imperative that hay be fed very carefully this winter so that the present supplies, which are consid­ ered sufficient for the Province as a whole, many not run out. Second growth of oats, which is most un­ usual, is providing some green feed. Many farmers will -have to purchase grain at prices already 75 per’ cent, higher than a year ago and likely to reach 100 per cent, winter is over. Unless fluid milk is advanced come of dairy farmers considerable reduction year. The production of butter in Au­ gust was approximately 15 per cent, below that of the production the first seven increase of 20 same period last year, amounted to 13,*504,000 pounds in August this year as compared with 13",431,000 pounds in the same month last year. Farmers supplying milk to cheese factories are striving very hard to maintain the flow of milk in order to profit from the prevailing high prices for cheese. At Belleville, cheese was selling for 14 1-8 cents per pound on August 15th this sea­ son, as compared with 9 3-8 cents per pound at this same date during the preceding three years. Higher prices for field crops are expected to more than compensate for the reduced production tills year, and the total value of agri­ cultural production in 193 6 in On­ tario is expected to exceed that of the year 1935.

There were also 30,000 Americans in the Force’ of 620,000. Many of them were young men in whom the spirit of adven­ ture was strong and at the outbreak of war had crossed the border and offered their services. Many of them also were settlers, or the sons of settlers, who had come to Canada to make their home in the Domin­ ion. It was as kinsmen they enlist­ ed in reference of the realm of their adoption. The warm ties of blood and kindred were strengthened by their service and the memory of it is one of the many bright spots in the record of a century and a ter of peace between tries. They were to war that was to end There were about Americans who Many of them rose to high rank. There were *63 American nursing sisteis. There were one hundred Mexicans. In addition to the North Amer­ icans, there were 25 0 natives of South American countries, exclu­ sive of British and French Guiana who joined the C. E. F. Every country was represented. More than seventy were from the Argentine Republic with which Canada has a large and sympathetic trade con­ nection. There were fifty from Brazil, once a great Portugese Col­ ony, and twenty-one from Cuba. Twenty-three of these South Amer­ icans were given officers rank, nine of them being Argentinians.
