Sugar Beet Yield Good Although the acreage of this amounted to only 28,200 acres 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 erage over 15 per cent. Harvesting commenced about October 1st and factories started operations on Oct. 5th. Prices this season are $6.25 per ton for “clean” beets testing 15 per cent, sugar, delivered at factory, or $5.50 per ton if delivered to weigh stations. crop are very abundant on turnips. The variegated cutworm and the greenhouse leaf tyer have injured some fields of celery in the Burling­ ton area. • Stored grain insects seemed to be decidedly more abundant in farm granaries than in the average year. These insects are capable of causing grain to heat. Running the grain through a fanning mill on a cold day will take out the insects and allow the grain to cool down, The fat man was trying to find some tropical clothes in the far south resort. He tried most every store in town, and patient clerks had politely made a pretense of looking over their stock and advising him they -were just out of his size. Finally he rap across a clerk more truthful than dip­ lomatic, who, after looking him over, said: “Frankly, mister, we carry nothing in stock that would fit you except collar buttons and handkerchiefs.” Insect Ravages 7'he European corn borer, as men­ tioned in the September report, de­ creased in number in Essex and Kent 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 gin, Lambton and Norfolk counties 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.
