If, however, moisture con­ ditions permit and the growing sea­ son should be favourable from now on, a fair crop of winter vegetables could still be harvested. Eastern tario is the exception since here pie rainfall has been received, crops are progressing favourably, tremely high temperatures have been recorded in Western, Southern and Central Ontario. Sun-scald is quite prevalent, particularly in some och- ards, and the dry weather has caused the drying up of leaves and the kill­ ing of quite a large number of trees, especially those planted this year and old trees suffering from winter injury. Sizing of all tree fruits has been re­ tarded. Currants, gooseberries and raspberries have been disastrously af­ fected, with the total’ yield reduced by more than fifty per cent, and the quality is considerably below aver­ age. Beetfe, late cabbage, late cauli­ flower, corn, lettuce, early potatoes, early tomatoes, 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 tree fruit crops. A continuation of the heat and drought will, however, seriously re­ duce the present outlook. The furth­ er period of drought which fruit crops can withstand varies with the orchard and with temperature condi­ tions. A number of orchards have al­ ready reached the border-line. A good rainfall would improve the present critical tree fruit situation to a mark­ ed degree. Apples are sizing well to date, and insect pests are fairly well under control. . The anticipated production of lat­ er varieties of cherries, both sweets a’nd sours, has been considerably re­ duced in many areas due to heat. Pears sized well until the intense heat period 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 Ni­ agara Peninsula, wood and tree mor­ tality continues. Heat damage, toge­ ther with tree and wood mortality, has further reduced the previously an­ ticipated light production of plums. The condition of the grape crop has also deteriorated during the past month and the yield wijl be consid­ erably below average. Early frost damage, previous winter injury and some chlorosis have all tended to les­ sen the size of this year’s grape crop. PAGING PIES By Barbara B. Brooks Disproving old truisms seems to be the chief joy of modern cookery ex­ perts. Many food ideas have been changed by recent research and, be­ cause of this, menus have undergone startling transformations. The well- planned meal now is vastly different from that of grandmother’s day and pie holds a prominent place upon the menu. Pie at one time was considered to be no fitting dessert with which to finish a heavy meal. Many hardy souls ate it at breakfast and felt that this fortified them for a day of hard labor. But at night they ate scantily and shunned pie on their dinner menu. They thought it suitable only for hol­ iday fare. Then a new feeling for pies began to be noticed. Apple, pumpkin and cherry, while still general favorites, were modified and modernized. Other pies unheard of twenty years ago came into being. Pies were in again, and tli,is time they were here to stay. Newer types followed the air-minded trend of our times and became fluffy, light, chiffon creations.

Two of his subscribers wrote to ask him. his remedy for their respective troubles, No. 1, a happy father of twins, wrote ro inquire the best way to get them safely over their teething, and No. 2 wanted to know how to protect his orchard from the myriads of grasshoppers. The editor framed his answers upon the ortho­ dox lines, but unfortunately he trans­ posed the two names, with the result that No, 1 who was blessed with twins got the following answer to his query: “Cover them carefully with straw and set fire to them, and the little pests, after jumping about in the flames a few minutes, will be speedily settled”. While No. 2, plag­ ued with grasshoppers, was told to “Give them a little caster oil and rub their, gums gently with a bone." Waitress: “Here’s your shortcake.”’ Customer: “You call that short­ cake? Take it out and berry it!” i “My wife like tea for breakfast, but like coffee.” “You’ll soon get used to tea.” “Did you ’ear that Mrs. Jones worr vacuum cleaner in a competition?” “No. Did she?” 1 “Yes. But she says it ain’t no good to ’er. She ain’t got no vacuum.” a Two laborers were working on a very tall block of flats. Suddenly the man at the top of the ladder called to his mate at the bottom: “I say, Jim, come up ’ere a min­ ute and listen.” His mate slowly climbed the lad­ der, and. at last ,quite out of breath, reached the top. “I can’t 'ear nothing,” he said, af­ ter listening intently for a. while. “No,” said the other, “Ain’t . it quiet?” LATE SOWN CROPS By Prof. W. J. Squirrel, O.A.C. Winter Rye and Winter Wheat Winter rye or winter wheat, sown about August 15th at the rate of two bushels of seeds per acre,\will pro­ duce considerable pasture in the au­ tumn. Results of experiments in the average of the last two years at the Ontario Agricultural College show that when the crop was close cut (twice) winter rye produced a total tonnage, before damage by serious frost, of 2.6 tons of green crop per acre, and winter wheat of 2 tons of green crop per acre. Should these crops not be needed for pasture this autumn they can be left and pastured in early spring. Millet If millet can be seeded under fav­ ourable conditions by July 25th it will produce a fair crop of hay by early autumn. The Hungarian variety of i millet is one of the be*t varieties to j use and it should be seeded at the ! rate of about three-quarters of a bush- | cl per acre. Rape This is one of the good late pas­ ture crops, and if it can be seeded m the next few days will produce pasture by late Autumn. It can be seeded in rows at the rate of 1-z to 2 pounds of seed per acre, or may be broadcasted at the rate of 4 to 5 lbs. of seed per acre. This crop may be pastured satisfactorily by beef cattle, hogs or sheep. There is sometimes a. danger of animal* bloating if turned on the pasture when hungry or when the crop is wet. Thi* danger may be largely overcome by allowing the ani­ mals to stay on the pasture a short time at first and at the same time let­ ting them have access to a grass pas­ ture. The Dwarf Essex variety is one of the best varieties to sow for late pasture. Narrowstem Kale This crop, which is more stemmy and ha* a smaller leaf growth than , rape, can also be seeded at this date | and will produce worthwhile pasture < before there is danger of serious frost damage. It should be seeded at the | rate of 1 to 2 pounds of seed per acre | in rows, or may be broadcasted at 4 to 5 pounds of seed per acre. Cattle, hogs or sheep can be successfully pas­ tured. on this crop, but the same pre­ cautions should be taken as in pas­ turing rape. Any of the grain crops seeded al this late date will likely produce sat­ isfactory yields of grain this season. t News and Information For the Busy Farmer Vegetable Crops The condition of vegetable crops in Ontario on July 15th, being an aver­ age for the whole province, is as fol­ lows:-— (1—-Poor; 2— below average; 3 —average; 4—above average; 5—ex­ ceptionally good): Beans (green) 0.8; Beets 1.5; Cabbage (early) 2.9; Cab­ bage (late) 1.6; Cauliflower (early) 2.9; Cauliflower (late) 1.4; Carrots 2.4; Celery (early) 2.9; Celery (late) 2.5; Corn 1.4; Lettuce 1.6; Onions 2.8; Potatoes (early) 1.7; Feas (gar­ den) .7; Spinach 1,5; Tomatoes (ear­ ly) 1.7; Tomatoes (main field) 2,6.

The poison ivy plant (Rhus Toxicodendron), sometimes called the “poison oak”, is a low’ creeper about a foot or less in j height. It is best recognized by its characteristic group of three-pointed leaflets usually hanging downwards. Contact with this plant is verjr liable to bring on an attack of poison ivy —technically known as demratitis venenata. In sensitive persons does not even to have touched weed. The erpution usually appears the hands, arms and legs, or wherev­ er the body has but the irritant carried to other The rash varies; and blotchy, frequently there are lit­ tle blisters and sometimes these form large blebs. There is intense itching and sometimes the eyes may be clos­ ed tightly. The diagnosis can only be made by a history of exposure, for many other plants than poison ivy will cause der- mititis venenata in sensitive individ­ uals. The stinging nettle has well- • known ' primro; to be room, acinths, daffodils, larkspur, tomatoes and the lilac have been found to be offenders. Not only plants but many house­ hold substances cause similar derm­ atitis. Some people are sensitive to certain soaps, perfumes, to dyes in clothing or to substances like turpen­ tine. Occupational dermatitis is well \ known.
