Sugar Beet Yield Good
Although the acreage of this

year, as compared with 30,300 acres
in 1937, estimated production is plac
ed at 293,300 tons as against 240,400
tons in 1937. Owing to favorable
weather conditions, the yield per acre
will be slightly more than 10 tons,
whereas a year ago the yield was 7.94
tons per acre. Sugar content will av

Insect Ravages

counties, but is still quite abundant
there in some localities. East of Tor
onto it is about the same, on the av
erage as in 1037. In Middlesex, El

there has been a decided increase.
Elgin and Lambton at present are
the most heavily infested counties.
White grubs are very numerous in
s*andy sod areas in Hastings and Pet
erborough counties. As they are on;
ly in the first stage they will do much
more damage next year when they
will be in the second year stage and
therefore larger than in 1938. In
York, Ontario and Durham counties,
the white grubs are in their second
year stage and have injured severely
a number of timothy meadows and
Old pastures, and also have been
troublesome to vegetables. In these
latter areas there will be little or no
trouble next year.
Squash bugs are still numerous, es
pecially in gardens. Grasshoppers
are more abundant than usual in al
most every area visited. It is prob
able that if the weather next Spring
is favorable they may cause a good
deal of damage, especially in waste
lands, old pastures and meadows and
crops immediately surrounding these.
