B. the out- It is ex- frost. Thus it was when the season had arrived for rapid growth, the stool- ing blades took upon a reactionery pose revealing a very backward trend. Subsequently, with the incoming of July, heat was turned on in earnest and throughout almost -the entire month, the most promising cloud re­ fused to shake its refreshing wings and the parched grain was denied the much needed moisture. Not until the closing days of July, by which time many of the wheat fields gave evi­ dence of premature ripening, at which stage rain would be of little benefit. By this tim? such menacing condi­ tions had driven the farmer’s.mind in­ to a panicky state and quite natural­ ly, his reports and estimates to the elevators, grain dealers and grain ex­ change, would be colored by his per­ sonal feelings, which, of course, was formulated from experiences he had gained under similar conditions in former years. But this year, even na­ ture’s laws are not as irrevocable as the laws of the Medes and Persians, for the disolution of the grain from the straw by the thresher, after all is the final criterion and this process is from day to day disqualifying all earlier estimates, both of quality and quantity, In scores of instances, covering certain fields anl areas, where it was rated only good, for 15 bushels per acre, representing possibly 2 or 3 grade, threshing returns reveal yields of 25 to 35 and in some cases 40 bu­ shels per acre with much of it reach­ ing No. 1 Northern and weighing ap- proximotely 67 lbs. to the measured bushel. So great has been the spread between the field estimate and mach- ine measurement, that Government agents and grain companies who had compiled their grain reports at an early date, have annulled these find­ ings and are recasting their reports from actual facts. The "Searle Grain Company" with head offices at Winnipeg, who issue a Weekly Chronicle, dealing entirely with grain production and distribu­ tion, who in the current, week’s issue recorded an entirely new Western es­ timate and explanatory of their ac­ tion, said their earlier "estimate" had turned out to be merely a "Guestim- ate.” This surprising increase in bushel­ age, would, I presume, add a total ag­ gregate of at least one ^million bush­ els of wheat to the Western crop. Perhaps one of the most inspiring phases of this wheat episode this year is the fact that many of the "drought areas” defied their postmortem obit­ uary by coming back with yields of 25 - 35 bushels per acre labelled for No, 1 Northern, and the “Golden West” moves on. Sincerely yours, W, J. McLeod. P.S.—There is a basic reason for the vagaries of this year’s erratic pro­ gress and ultimate results. This would doubtless be interesting and profitable reading for your farmer readers. These facts I shall be glad to furnish in a subsequent letter at your own good discretion. W. J. M.

Mrs. Bruce Fox, .of Guelph, also visited with her parents for a few days. speech or hearing are defective or when tonsils or adenoids are infected. Decayed teeth are a common source of trouble for the young student. The result is that many children have to repeat grades unnecessarily. The problem is of such wide appli­ cation — a problem of nearly half of those entering school — that at the very commencement of the term, each child should have a thorough ex­ amination by the family doctor. With decaying teeth attended to, glasses supplied to those with defect­ ive vision and with other corrections made, the child has a much better chance of succeeding in his studies and of being happy in his school life. The doctor should not only exam­ ine the £hild to correct physical short­ comings but also to recommend the proper things to eat to build up re­ sistance against disease. This will be of special value when the child comes into contact with other children who may have a communicable disease. Fortunately, immunity can be provid­ ed in two of the most serious of such diseases — smallpox and diphtheria. Hence, the parent of a child entering on school life should see that the child is vaccinated and given toxoid treatment, if this protection has not already been provided. Toxoid to prevent diphtheria, should be given of course as soon after a child is six months old as possible, but many par­ ents 'neglect this until the child goes to school, be delayed By defeating Drew on Monday af­ ternoon at Ayton 9-6, the local Cen­ tral League entry won the series as each team had won a game previous­ ly. They will now meet Clifford for the League championship. Clifford put Ayton away, in the other semi­ final series. Clifford is not an O.B.A. that our club will go ahead A. “B” no matter what is come of the Clifford series, pected they will stack up against Lucan, winner of the Huron-Perth League who defeated Teeswater, the Bruce League “B” winners in two straight, 6-5 at Lucan and 6-3 at Teeswater. The game at Ayton Monday was one of the best the club has turned in this year. They banged out 15 hits and only had two errors. Fraser did the heaving and allowed but 7 hits. Drew used two pitchers, B. Chilton and Crow. The game was all tied up at the end of the 7th 5-all. Wingham. went to town in the 8th to put the game on ice.

Bolt and son, n o Three Good Reasons Why The Wingham Advance=Times Should Fill Vour PRINTING REQUIREMENTS o 0 o G STARTING TO SCHOOL All over Canada thousands of child­ ren this month embark on the great adventure of going to school. It is a time when 'parents should give par­ ticular thought to the child’s health, for upon health depends all progress ih school, Upon entering school, every child should have any correctable defects attended to. Many a boy or girl have rapidly developed a sense of .inferior* ity because of defective eyesight or of other handicaps that might have been overcome, Resides .-the draw­ back of such development, there is the more positive interference with the child’s studies, when vision, Mr. Raymond, spent Sunday evening with Mr. Bert Longley and Miss Fannie Longley. Miss Helen Longley spent a few days recently with friends in Tor­ onto. Miss Gladys Weir, of Wroxeter, spent Sunday with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Weir. Mr. D. L.

The fact that we publish the letter does not mean we guarantee the accuracy of any statements made but we do believe that the information is correct so far as Mi*. McLeod is able to as­ certain. Melville, Sask., Aug. 28, The Advance-Times, Wingham, Dear Editor: I am about to presume upon customary courtesy ,to give space, to a brief and so far as I am able, an- accurate crop review, to date, on the current harvest. I am so doing be­ cause I just recently returned from Eastern Canada, where I spent much of vacationery period in you,r district during which time I found your read­ ers mutually interested in the pros­ pective harvest in the West. Much of the information and detailed data which I was able to give at the time and much the synoptic reports, bear­ ing upon this harvest, appearing in the Press shall have to be radically revised and restated. The crop sea­ son, like a horse race with a lot of new horses in the field, was difficult to estimate. Nothing from the preparation of the seed bed; to the ripening of the grain, ran true to tradition. The seeding period beginning the first week in May, continued for near­ ly the entire month, The weather was excessively hot eclipsing almost ev­ ery record for that period of the year and strangely there was scarce­ ly any precipitation. With this terrific heat, aided by the reserved moisture in the soil left from the winter’s snows, germination was vigorous and rapid. These favorable conditions prevailed up to the second week til June when the dry spell was broken by frequent heavy rains. The days continued cloudy and bleak, the nights cold verging to the margin of o o D o O 0 o CHECK UP ON YOUR REQUIREMENTS AND FILL YOUR WANTS NOW.
