brought satisfactory returns. Prices

variable and following the frost dam

receive large cash returns from the
canning factories for their crop of to
matoes which was the largest on re
cord. The yield in this district was
double that of last season, approxi

able to handle all the supplies and
large quantities were shipped to the

average yield, on a greatly increased
acreage, was only 175 bushels per
acre,

Fruit Crop Report
The apple crop in Ontario is now
estimated at 735,500 barrels, repre
senting a slight increase over the
703,500 barrels harvested in 1936. In
Eastern- Ontario productions is idown
23% from last year, and in Western
Ontario up 28%, In Eastern Ontario,
Spys and Starks are 'extremely light,
while” McIntosh, Snow, Wealthy and
Blenheim have an average yield. In
Western' Ontario Spys show a 38%
decline from last^year, Starks 7% in
crease, Greening's 22% increase, Bald
wins and McIntosh a 35% increase-
and other late varieties a gain of 12%.
Size and color of apples are con
siderably better this season than last,
but the percentage of “domestics” is
much higher in Eastern Ontario due
to the prevalence of scab and side-,
worm injury in a large number of or-;,
chards. In. commercial orchards in
Western Ontario insect pests and
fungus diseases were fairly well con
trolled.. Movement to storages has
been heavy as harvesting has been
rushed and prices are not quite as
firm as a month ago.
Estimated production of peaches,
plums and pears has been raised
somewhat since the September report.
The peach crop .is now estimated at
528,00.0 bushels, or 30% greater than
in 1936, and plums at 56,900 bushels
which is 38% higher. Pears are now
estimated at 157,400 bushels as a
month ago, and 196,800 bushels in
1936. Later varieties of plums, pears
and peaches were generally of better
size and quality than the earlier var
ieties. The grape crop is reported at
31,378,000 pounds which is 45% bet
ter than the exceptionally small crop
of 21,640,000 pounds harvested last
year. Grapes were generally of good
size with the bunches compact. While
there was some poorly coloured fruit,
the average was very good.
Present prices of fruits are gener
ally below last year, particularly for

Increase of Corn Borers.
General observation during the cut
ting and harvesting of the corn crop
of Kent and Essex Counties has
shown that an alarming increase in
the number of corn borers has occur
red, according to Dr. G. M. Stirrett,
in charge-of the dominion entomolog
ical laboratory at Chatham.
“It is apparent that the infestation
is* as severe as in the years 1927 and
1928,” said Dr. Stjrrett, “Greater ap
plication of clean-up methods will be
required of farmers to insure success
to next year’s crop.”
Weather conditions were favorable
to increase of borers this year. Abun
dance of moisture during planting
was a feature noted during the heavy
infestations of ten years ago, and
similar conditions were prevalent this
year. Essex, it is said, was particu
larly hard hit, both by the borer and
poor weather for growing.
Storing Potatoes 1
For best results with stored po
tatoes, keep the bin temperatrue be-
twen 35 and 40 degrees. During the
first eight or ten days of storage,
however, allow a fairly high tempera
ture, from 65 to 70 degrees, to hasten
the formation of wound cork, ^vhich
is important in healing bruised and
cut potatoes and preventing rot. To
reduce shrinkage, keep the bin fai’rly
moist. Store only fully matured and
sound potatoes. Be sure there is ade
quate ventilation. A slatted floor is.
useful for this purpose.

Nanking Being Evacuated
A great Exodus from Nanking,
China's Capital, is under way as the
Chinese defense system between
Shanghai and Nanking threatened to
break under the savage thrusts by
Japanese forces. The Government
ordered all war wounded removed in
to the interior from Nanking, which
has been centre of the arpiy hospital
system. By highways, rivers and can
als, the civilian population left Nan
king by thousands, spurred by reports
of destruction inflicted on Soochow,
between Nanking and Shanghai, by
Japanese bombing planes. The nor
mal population of Nanking is more
than 1,000,000,

Handful of Poultry
The pre-cooling and proper hand
ling of poultry killed on the farm or
at a packing plant is particularly im
portant because the bloom will be
quickly lost if the birds are not, pre-
pre-cooled without delay and also
handled properly.
Poultry killed on the farm and sold
dressed through local buyers or poul
try pools where no pre-cooling facil
ities are. available frequently lose
their bloom, with the consequent de
preciation in the sales appearance of
the birds and the failure to get the
best price on the market.
Poultry meat is a perishable prod
uct which will deteriorate rapidly un
less properly handled. The market
demand is for properly packed poul
try with good bloom and bright ap
pearance. Good bloom is first Secur
ed by proper finishing but is held af
ter killing by proper handling and
holding in correct temperature.
Some of the chief essentials in
handling dressed poultry are:
1. See that all birds are bled and
plucked properly and that the feet
and the mouth are washed clean.
2. Birds should be hung up by both
feet and allowed to pre-cool for 24
hours. The temperature for £>re-cool-
ing should be ds close to 32 degrees
as possible.
3. The temperatures should be' fre
quently checked with a thermometer.,
4. In transporting poultry to as
sembling of selling points it should’
be held .at the same temperature at
which was pre-cooled.
