The crops in Walkerton distriet have
improved considerably sumo the previous
report. Fall wheat is turning out unex-

turnips, are poor. Potatoes are below
average. Hay was a fair average. The
pastures bave been bad of late and many
farmers were feeding their stock to some
extent in order to keep up the supply of
milk for the creameries, but recent

and there is now a good prospect of
abundant pasturage for the remainder of
