HOW WERE THESE
TESTS MADE?
The gasolines they had been using
were drained from the tanks of their
cars and replaced by this "mystery
motor fuel" (the blue coloring had
been omitted). Then they went out
to test it-—and later, their reports
were collected and tabulated.
WHAT DID THEY PROVE?
86% of these experienced motor
ists reported that this "mystery
fuel" gave a better performance
than the gasolines they had been
using (a total of 30, including 13
premium priced fuels). The gaso
line they tested is the New and

Field Crop Report
Western Ontario: Present moisture
and lempciWUe conditions continue
very favourable for good plant
growth and fruit development. Earl
ier conditions were also generally
favourable, particularly in regard to
assisting the best cultural operations.
Insects and fungus pests are under
excellent control in most well spray
ed orchards, but in poorly sprayed
orchards or where rain interfered
scab is reported to be developing.
Moisture supplies are needed in Ni
agara Peninsula and Burlington.
Strawberries — Despite frost dam
age to early bloom in localized areas
of most producing districts, the splen
did plant development in existing
wide rows with generally heavy
bloom and increased acreage will un
doubtedly, offset any frost damage,
and prospects arc now favourable for
a larger production than last year,
The preliminary estimate shows an
increase of 8% for Western Ontario.
Raspberries —■ Despite estimated de
crease of 5% in bearing acreage, all
indications point to a yield practically
equal to that of last season. This is
accounted for by vigorous cane
growth, good set and fruit develop
ment to date.
Other small Fruits — A medium to
heavy set is showing on all currant
and gooseberry plantations, and, with
continued favourable weather, an av
erage crop of good size fruit is antici
pated.
Apples — A very irregular and var
iable conditions exists in respect to
crop prospects of the various com
mercial varieties due largely to local
weather conditions during blooming
period. Over the whole
Ontario, Spy, McIntosh,
Wealthy now promise a

Greening, Baldwin and early varieties
are below average. The total apple
production at present time can be
classed as slightly below average.
Cherries — Sweet Cherries promise
a medium to heavy crop, although the
Byng variety has a light set, with
Windsors and some others slightly
above average. The production of
cherries, due to frost and adverse
weather conditions, will be below kv«
of Western
Snow, and
slightly be-
crop, while
erage. Good sizing may, however,
cause a slight upward revision in the
present estimate.
Pears — Irregular set exists both
as to variety and district. In Niag
ara West and Burlington areas, Bart
letts are generally light, whereas in
Niagara East all varieties have an av
erage set. Kieffers show average and
other varieties slightly below average,
with total pear production prospects
at present time reported to be slight
ly below average.
Plums — Although set is irregular
according to varieties and localized
areas, slightly below average crop
prospects are now indicated. General
ly speaking the Japanese varieties,
while medium to good in Eastern Ni
agara, arc light to medium in Niagara
West and Burlington. European var
ieties, such as Damsons are generally
light.
