Excellent Crops
Expected in Huron
Despite an unusually dry spring,
there is every prospect at the pre-
sent time for an excellent grain
crop in this area. Rains during
July have provided the necessary
moisture to fill heads in wheat and
coarse grains and cutting of the
former has already been started.
The story is generally the same
for barley and oats. In the counties
to the south reports indicate that
one of the finest crops to be har-
vested in the past 20 years can be
expected. . *
The story is not the same all over
the province, however. In areas
farther to the east lack of rain
has seriously •affeeted grain crops
as well as hay, corn androots.
