The plant stood up nicely through the long winter months and when the danger of frost had passed was planted out in the garden. Today it is one of the most robust plants in the whole gar den. Standing slightly over six feet high it is literally covered with to matoes. Those caring to take the time can count seventy nicely form ed. tomatoes and there may possibly fee more hidden underneath.—Clinton News-Record.

TOMORROW’S DESSERT THOSE OUT DOOR DRINKS] 1% 3 dates condens- crumbs, 1 Threshing of alsike and wheat and ' cutting barley and oats have been the ; chief activities of Simcoe Conuty far mers. In Brant County rains held up threshing operations. Quality of wheat there is not too high as much of it is shrunken as a result of dry ' hot weather and rust One farmer in Brant reported an average of 60 bush els of Alaska oats per acre over a large acreage. In Haldimand rain has also held up harvesting, but threshing is continuing with all possible speed. ' Harvesting is well advanced in Lambton County. The corn crop has grown splendidly. Middlesex re ports that hogs have registered dis appointing price recessions in the last few weeks, dropping from $11.75 to $9.00 per cwt From this county also come reports of wheat yielding 50 bushels per acre, barley 65 bushels, and oats over 80 bushels. The apple crop there is sizing up splendidly. Some wheat fields in Oxford are yielding as high as 45 bushels to the acre. Corn and root crops there look promising and quite a few fields of buckwheat are in bloom. Wentworth reports that early varieties ofosweet corn are retailing at 15 cents per doz en. Raspberries there have been a heavy crop and some difficulties were experienced in marketing, the price 1 per crate of 36 pints running from ;$1.50 to $2.00. In Eastern Ontario, Renfrew’ re ports that harvesting is 10 days earli er than usual, with yields only aver age. Spring wheat crop there is al- omst a complete failure due to rust. Coronation wheat, however, stood up 100% against the rust and will yield from 20 to 30 bushels per acre. The quality of grain in Grenville will be good but the yield not heavjr due to dry weather most of June and July, Early potatoes there were a poor crop but late potatoes look better af ter recent rains.

My own answer to the question would be that the most important thing to work for is a national spirit, To-day provincialism is growing at such a rate that toe Dominion is al most a collection of -iime independent states. We can never be a nation un til we learn to think like a nation, and we can never think like a ■nation so long as we think only of .one sec tion of a country.
