The National Apple Shippers' Ae000i•

Toronto, eatimatee the Drop in Ontario
this year at 38 per cent. of an average
orop, in Nova Bootie. 75 per cent., and in
the reepeotive States 45 per oent. The
faun in Ontario has been dna largely
to the cold weather of early Spring, dur-
ing which the bees remained inactive
among the bloom. Though there was an
abundance of blossom and the prospect
was never brighter in May, fertilization '
was °booked by the bees stopping work
too long in the cold chills. Than we gee
how mush our orchardists depend upon
these useful ineeets.
The Angaat crop bulletin for Ontario,
based on appearanoee on Angaat let, was
issued 'Wednesday by the Department of
Agrioniture. The information, which
forms the bailie of the bulletin, is obtain-
ed from a large Corps of regular corres•
pendants living in every part of the
Province. The general effect of there -
turns is that this year has nob been as
good a season forthe farmer ae 1900, al- -
though in some inetanoee the sitnebion ie
better. The Fall wheat suffered very
badly in the large S outh•western wheat
belt from the Hessian fly, while rust, and
exceedingly hot weather has wrought
damage in other parts. The yield is
estimated at 16,000,000 bushels, oompar•
ed with 93,000,000 last year. The yield
of all Spring grains is lees than last year,
though nob seriously, except in the Case
of peas, Of hay and clover the orop is -
exceptionally heavy, being the largest of
some years. This, together with the ex-
cellent pasture which hae existed
throughout the seasonand the almost -
normal orop of oats, will largely save the
situation, by providing an abundanoe of
t apple crop .
feed for stook. The
