A special corresponeent of the Toron- to I)aiIy GIobe, writing from Goderich on Saturday last has the following to say on crop conditions in Huron County: From grain -growing to the raising of live steck and a more advanced stage of mixed farming is in brief the his- tory of agriculture in Huron in the past ten years. The transition is even sews advancing a stage further, and apple - growing is becoming more and more one of the staple irt:ustries of the county. Rain has tonched Huron only in spots. The recent thunder -showers have been largely of a local nature. Some districts have had even morerain than they needed this week. Many have had quite enough to last them a week or so quite comfortably. But, again, places only a few miles away have escaped the showers altogether, and are suffering severely in conse- quence. For a distance of about five miles around Goderich the drought still prevails. Farther north and far- ther south plenty of rain has fallen. Around Wingham is also a dry district, with abundant showers reported on all sides. In the vicinity of Clinton there has been rain, but more is needed. Taking the county as a whole the crop outlook is bright. The fall wheat crop promises to be one of the best in years. Fields are to be seen standing four feet high. A farmer near Wing - ham told your correspondent that he expected to harvest nearly forty bush- els to the acre. The average yield a- round Clinton is expected to be as high as twenty-five bushels to the acre• Of course there are many sections where the crop will be light, but on the whole it will be well above the average. The spring crops have been badly in need of rain, but where they have had it there promises to be a fairly good yield of both oats and barley. The straw will be short, particularly in the case of oats, but the heads are fill- ing nicely. In the dry district's the re- sult of the crop depends altogether on the weather. Roots promise not so well, and corn is also very backward in growth. In some of the dry sandy sections farmers were unable to plant the roots or corn they intended, and accordingly decided to sow buckwheat. She weather has been so dry, however, that they were unable to turn the ground with- the plows, and much buckwheat is still un- sown. Potatoes will be about average. Hay will be up to the average. The crop of clover was well up to the stan- dard. Timothy, cutting of which is under way, will be almost three-quar- ters of a crop. On old meadows it is light. There is a good bottom to most of it, however, and if rain had fallen earlier the crop would have yielded abundantly. As it is, there are many excellent fields especially on new mead- ows. ---Envelopes by the package or box for sale at the TIMES office. —The TIMES to new subscribers to January 1st, 1913 for 35 cents. ---Salvation Army garden party on the Town Park this (Thursday) evening. —The brick work on Messrs.
