The codling moth has been the most destructive pest this fear so far and increased greatly during the month of Angist as a result of the continued warm weather which led to a large second brood. The Eur- opean corn borer survey which is now under way indicates that the borers are going to be more num- erous this year than at any time during the •last four or eve years, the season having been favourable to them in most counties. Cabbage worms have increased greatly in number and where no spraying or dusting has been carried out they have played havoc with the foliage and heads of cabbage and also cauls ower. Complaints habe been received of severe injury in Middle sex to turnip 'foliage. Record Tobacco Crop The tobacco crop In Ontario - im proved to a very marked degree during the monthof August with the result that total production is now estimated at a much higher figure than appeared probable on the first of August, The flue -cured crop will amount to at least 50- 000;000 puonds. There has also been improvement in the 'burley crop which is estimated at slightly more than 7,000,000 pounds. The dark tobacco crop will possibly yield a. total of 2,500,000 pounds. Total production of tobacco in Ontario this year will therefore reach the record figure of 60,000.- 000 0,000;000 pounds, as compared with 35,- 500,000 pounds in 1936 and 48,102,- 220 pounds in 1905, All crops were harvested at an early date this year, The flue -cured tobacco " jdn over othe air WESTFIELD A fine timepiece .,. with an accurate,l5•iewel Westfield movement' Smartly designod..,boau- nfully engravedl M.

There is every likelihood of a heavy demand for Ontario's burley and flue -cured tobacco. The export market is particularly promising, Current Crop Report The average yield of spring grains for the Prooince will be cons0derrably higher than in 1936 when drought conditions reduced the Drop, but still somewhat be- low normal, The 'Counties border- ing the St. Lawrence and souls districts in Nonthern Ontario, par- ticularly Algoma and 'Manitoulin, report yields considerably below average and large supplies will have to be purchased for winter, Seeding purposes. The quality of spring grain varies greatly. In 'Central Ontario, and particularly the southern part of South West- ern Ontario, large quantities of grain were damaged by frequent heavy rains which blackened the grain and &tree and caused ipsrout Ing. Considerable grain was gut Into 'the barns or threshed In a wet condition and much spring grata will be only of .feeding quality, The yield per acre of hay and clover this year is estimated above average In Old Ontario but extemely low fu most districts of Northern Ontario. August was favourable for the development of late potatoes, roots and corn for fodder, Cor fr husk- ing however, which Is chiefly grown in Essex and Kent Counties, was was damaged .by 'excessive rains in msid_su¢nmer and the average yield Will be far ,below normal. The yield of dry beans is estimated at at 17.0 bus, as compared with 13.2 'bus. In 193 , and a long term aver- age of 16,1 bus, Tree fruits aow being harvested are of good qual- ity and later varieties sizing well, Tomato crop prospects were re- duced by dry weather at a critical period and production will be malt. sdderably below expectations. U. S. Livestock Market Live stook and feed situation conditions in the United States indi- cate that feeding commercial live stock unfavouradle to producers dur- iug the pas grain marketing year, is now definitely favourable. Since the harvesting of the 1937 grain crap, deed grain prices have declin- ed and live stocke prices have ehown vast improvement. Advanc- es in the prices of beef cattle and hogs durig ,Pune, July and August have ibrouglit the hay -cora and tate beet -torn price ratios to a level which is above that for the early part of the year, .Largo supplies of feed grain are M prospect and, with prices of live stock products higher than in some recent years, it is highly probable that feeding ratios will I%e quite favourable during 1938. This being the case, a material e.Wtansion In most lines of live stock produc- tion may be anticipated. The out- look for the consumption of all classes of Ilbe stock products is quite favourable a1 a continuation of relalbely high prices is to be ex• ;mated, tuning tete next few months, There may possibly be some con. The design of the 1938 registration plates is exceptionally attractive with Crown and Orange figures on Blue background. To Save Onts:rio Motorists Time and Money • 1938 Motor Vehicle Permits Are Now Available .LJUE to the advance in the new car purchasing season and the fact that increasingly large numbers of used cars and trucks are now purchased at this time of year and following the practice established last year which met with such favourable reception on the part of the motoring public, 1938 Motor Vehicle Permits and Operators' Licenses are being made available in advance of the date of expiration of 1937 permits. 1938 Permits (now available) save the purchaser of a new car or truck the expense of 1937 registration. They save the purchaser of a used car or truck the fee for transferring the 1937 registration (1938 Permit can be procured without transfer fee) .

Increases in the voonte of feed available and a more moderate volume of total live stock holdings indicate that annual units will he fed to heavier weights, particularly in the case of cattle and bogs. Authorities at 'Washington in. dlcaae that despite some decline iu the number of cattle on farms since the beginning of the year the volume placed on feed during the present autumn will probably be much larger than the volume of a year ago. The high price of beef cattle during the summer mouths has resulted in favourable returns to most of the proucers selling et that time, and this has stimuated inquiry, Torohto •Competition Fred B, Kernaghan, It.
