tered very well, but these are much
in the minority and the winter craps
generally have come through. tl.e
winter splendidly and promise a
good yield. almost ever3 whsr.e in
Ontario. At least a very satisfac-
tory average may be ;oafieently
looked for.
"'No less encouraging are the
indications with respect to Spring
crops, according to the reports re-
ceived by this department. Tho
Spring wheat, barley and oat crops
are just nicely getting through the
ground and an average of the re-
ports received shows that there has
been a good germination of the
seed and the fields look healthy.
The weather in most districts has
been favorable for seeding opera-
tions. There has been increased
quantity of alfalfa sown this year,
but it is too soon to speak about
the root crop."

RROLL GUILTY OF AI
He Killed Joseph. Tallion With an A
Lumber Camp
A despatch from Sault Ste.
Marie, Ont., says: William Carroll,
argcd sixty-five, svho in 1902 escaped
from the London Asylum upon the
eve of his discharge as fully cured,
was convicted of the murder of
Jos. Till.ian in a lumber camp near
Blind ]fiver, at the Assizes here on
Thursday afternoon. The jury re-
turned a verdict- of guilty, with a
recommendation of mercy. Both
wore employed at Waldie Bros.'
camp, last November, and, accord-
ing to three witnesses, Carroll en-
tered the shanty et 5.30 o'clock in
the evening and struck Tallion on
D
e 11 at.
the head with a double -bitted axe,
afterward admitting that he had
mistaken Tallion for another man
against whom he had a grudge.
In the court on Thursday Carroll
was tanconcorned, and dict not
change his attitude of indifference
when the verdict was announced.
Tire defence entered a plea of in-
sanity, which was not considered
by the jury after the evidence of
Drs. Bruce Smith and Ryan, who
stated that the man was in a condi-
tion to realize what he was doing..
The charge of Mr. Justice Brit-
ton was slightly against the pris-
oner.
