but in Quebec, Ontario and British
Columbia, throe has been a very
wesgtr supply of moisture during
several weeks past Fortunately in
British Columbia there are several
districts which have been able to over-
coute this difficulty by irrigation, and
In these no ill effects have resulted
from Jroutb. lo practically .Il parts

1'wruing of the tubal crop by''drop-

upon the trees. The cuns.quenos ie
that some seethous predict a crop
which, while fairly abundant. will be
of small size. There is still time for
tI•issituation to be much relieved, and
should an adequate rainfall occur
during the next two weeks. a great
deal of improvement will be effected.
At this time of the year reports .f dry
weather air quite usual, and although
these reports seen' to be more pro -
flounced this year there is *till some
likelihood that in •.other month
much improvement will have taken

'Throe is very little change in apple
prospects since teat month. The
average over the whole Domttoion for
wetly apples is 79 per cent, tor fail
apples 78 per cent, and for winter
apples 7b per cent. Riving a total crop
of 77 per cent This i. en inctess', of

It .. worthy of note that the apple
