There will be an abundant of the early kinds but the winter ones didn't set well in the first place and the dry weather has been causing them to drop off very badly. Reports which have come into the Ontario fruit branch bears this opinion; only in two or three localities will there be anything of a good average crop. Rain is badly needed for the root crop. If Cwe don't get some cooler weather soon to keep the oats from ripening so quickly they won't likely be very wen filled out. Rebecca Yeo, wife of James Hooper, died Saturday, July 29th, after a lengthy illness, though her condition was not considered serious until just a few days prior to her death. She was born in Merton, Devonshire, 86 years ago, coming to this country over 50 years ago, accompanied by her older sister (now deceased), and three neph- ews. They lived at the home of her brother, Robert Yeo, where she met and later married James Hooper, a former Somersetshire man from Por - lock. Settling upon the farm where she died, Mrs. Hooper experienced the hardships of pioneer life. Besides her husband, she leaves three children, James, Andrew and Anna. One brother and six grandchildren also survive. prosperous farmer, an ideal husband and father and an extra good neighbor, he will be greatly missed in the com- munity. Three years ago last February Mr. Hardy was operated on for gang- areen, caused by the hardening of the arteries and recovered from the loss of his limb remarkably web. In April of this year the same trouble attacked his remaining foot and he again went through the operation, cheerfully and patiently submitting to whatever was for the best. He recovered sufficiently to return to his home for seven weeks when the trouble complicated and the end came peacefully and quietly, the extremely hot weather, no doubt, hastening his death.

W. Conway, Auburn, in Farm and Dairy.) In no development of our national life is there more widespread general interest than in the Country Life movement. lts first stirrings on this continent, many years ago, were oc- casioned largely by the necessity for economic betterment arising from land waste and depletion. This need soon awakened a desire for agricul- tural science and the cry was for bet- ter farming and better business. The Federal commission on Country Life in the U. S., in 1908, brought the country life problem to the attention of the people as a whole and in one sense it might be said that this was the rise of the movement as we have it. Hay per ton......... .... 14 00.to 15 00 Hogg.... 10 00 to 10 00 .. ttried Apples, per lb Beans, per bushel.. 00 to 3 50 Recent rural developments place strong emphasis upon the social phase of country life. Not only better farm- ing and better business methods. but better living is now the slogan. The social side of farm life has been a sec- ondary matter with colleges of agri- culture, but is now beginning to at- tract their attention. Every agency for country life betterment recognizes this phase as one of paramount im- portance. We all have some good in us, but many a man is mighty successful in not letting any of it out.
