It now appears that the total crop from Manitoba, Saskachewan and Alberta will be about 330 million bushels, or just about double the yield of last year. Years ago shortage of railway cars was common, but in most re­ cent years the railroads .have been able to supply ample accommodation for the meagre harvests. It is etimated that Manitoba will harvest 50,000,000 bushels; Saskat­ chewan 144,000,000 bushels and Al-7 bert al36,000,000. get FREE ESTIMATE ON YOUR ROOFING Miniuniiun Price WRITE NOW Send ridge and rafter measure­ ments or area to be roofed, patched or re­ paired.

Tomato .worms are partic­ ularly numerous this season in East­ ern Ontario. In Southwestern coun­ ties tomato- cracking is greater than usual and there has been some scald­ ing of onions. In Middlesex county thrip injury to onions is reported. Otherwise disease and insect pests are being controlled by intensive spraying operations, and not more than the usual amount of damage has occurred. Eastern Ontario Fruit With sufficient .rainfall growing conditions have been favorable for the development of the apple crop and fruit is sizing particularly well. Where spraying was done thoroughly scab and insect pests are being kept in check, • with the exception of the codling worm moth which will cause considerable loss in a few orchards where a heavy infestation has accu­ mulated* from previous years. In Trenton and Iroq-uis-Morrisburg tricts several thousand barrels apples were severely damaged hail. Fall and early varieties taking on consi.derble colour, and up to normal in this respect. •Pears are developing well with size average and fruit clean in most orchards, although some coddling moth injury is showing where regu­ lar control measures were not carried out. -Plums are a light crop but there is every indication that the quality will be good, except on some trees where early sprays were not applied and some c-urculio injury showing. 1 the dis- ■of by are are is Potato Crop Report isThe early Irish Cobbler crop fairly well -cleared and the intermed- • iate crop is moving to .market from the central part of the Prvoince. A shortage -of moisture during June and July retarded growth-of plants and development of tubers with the result that low yields are being har­ vested. The quality is excellent. The late crop -presents a favour­ able appearance at present. During the past two weeks the rainfall gen­ erally has been beneficial and plant growth excellent. The potato bug has been well kept in control by the use of poison appli­ cations but leaf hoppers have done considerable injury to the plants be­ cause bordeau has not being proper­ ly applied, and some damage to the plants is apparent which will reduce the yield at digging time. Growers are told to dust or spaay with bord- eaux thoroughly for leaf hopper control or .disappointing yields will be the result. There is no evidence of late blight at this date but the present weather conditions with a sultry atmosphere und frequent showers, should they continue, -are favorable for its development. .

If roads are marred by an unsightly growth of weeds, tourists -get a bad impression and urban residents lose faith in rural Ontario as a producer of argicultural products second to none in the world. There are seven good reasons why. roadside weeds should be wiped out -of existence. They (il) infest ad­ join ing’farm lands; (2) spread plant diseases; (3) are dangerous to traf­ fic; (4) will gather and hold show; (5) clog ditches -on roadsides and thus hinder the flow of water and proper drainage of the road bed; (6) are dangerous from a fire standpoint (7) are unsighty to residents and tourists aike. The Weed Control Act of Ontario states roadside weeds must be des­ troyed before seeds mature. The .Municipal Council, tnrough its road authority, is responsible for seeing that this work is done. Proper grad­ ing of roadsides and removal of the stones, stumps and brush will enable the road authorities to do this work quickly and efficiently. A thick seed­ ing of a good .grass mixture will make a thick sod whxcn prevents the weelds from obtaining -a foothold. •Chemical weed killers have proved efficient and many municipalities have greatly improved county and township roads in a weed clean-up via the chemical route. Maybe your municipality has help­ ed you out in this manner. If not, why not? Don’t forget the municipality is re­ sponsible for eradication of all nox­ ious weeds within it’s boundaries, New Appointments Made Numerous changes in the person- Of Department -staff were recently P. M. Dewan, Branch Marketing Wilson of Marketing retire- Minis- of the For I el announced by Hon. Minister of Agriculture. They include the appointment of Mr. 'George Wil­ son of Simcoe as Director of the Markets and Co-Operation and .as Chairman of the Board. Appointment of George Simcoe as Director of the and Co-Chperation Branch and Chair­ man of the Marketing Board was an­ nounced recently, among other de­ parmental promotions and ments, by Hon, P. M. Dewan, ter of Agriculture. Mr. Wilson is a graduate Ontario Agricultural Ciollege. several years he has been manager of the Norfolk Bei’ry Growers’ As­ sociation and has been associated with the Norfolk Go-Operative Com­ pany, Ltd., and the riorfolk Fruit Growers’ Association. W. B, Somerset, whom Mr. Wil­ son succeeds, held the position of Commissioner of Marketing, but was not Chairman of the recently estab­ lished and all-imiportant Marketing Board, through which Mr. Dewan aims to better the position of the Ontario farmer. James C. iShearer, Principal of the Kemptville Agricultural School, .has been named Agricultural Represent­ ative in Huron -County, with head­ quarters at Clinton. M. C. McPhail, present Assistant Director of the Agricultural Representative Branch, will take over the Kemptville Prin­ cipalship, and he will in tul’n be suc­ ceeded at Queen’s’Park by A. H. Mar­ tin, Agricultural Representative for the County of Northumberland. Ian McLeod, the Agricultural Represent­ ative of,Huron, has been transferred to Northumberland, with ters at Brighton. John H. Scott, who has creamery instructor in Branch since 1924, will be superan­ nuated, and his place will be taken by J. L. Baker, a creamery instructor with residence in Belleville. All changes, Mr. Dewan stated, would be effective from Sept. 1. headquar- been chief the Dairy ABSOLVE UNCLE IN NIECE’S DEATH The fixing of a minimum price of 80 cent a bushel by the Wheat Board has relieved prairies farmers of a great deal of anxiety. This figure will net the farmers an average price of 60 cents a bushel, which will not provide a great deal of profit, but at the same time, will give assurance against losses where fair yields are obtained. Will) the United States total crop around 956 million bushels, and Canada’s 330 million the total yield is 1,280 million bushels. If Canada, members present., exports 200 million bushels she will j do exceedingly well, and the carry­ over will be small, it is said. An ex­ portable figure of 175 millions would leave about 50 million bushels of a carryover. With an estimate ol’ world trade of 548 millions, to total of 275 millions,from North America does not seem out of the way. In the meantime, harvesting is progressing at a rapid rate. -Southern Alberta is a. picture now, with stooks thick in the fields and the threshing machines running full blest.
