Dry Bean Crop
Harvesting of dry beans has
made good progress in Western
Ontario, In Kent county the yield
Is variable with fields which es-
caped excessive moisture fairly
gond. In luid;llesex and Hut on
counties prospects are considered
average. For the province as a
whale the yield is now forecast
et 17,3 bushels per acre as cotn-
paled with 19.3 bushels last year.
The outlook Is good for a normal
crop of corn :for husking, although
in some parts or Kent county
some damage was caused by storms.
Record Tobacco Crop
With very favourable weather
conditions, the record crop flue -

and thus damaging the nidustry Is
again to the front, Press reports
throughout Ontario the past nwith
called attention to the practloe, in
the interests of both growers and
consumers, "There are peaches
and plums going out of here not itt
for human consumption" stated a
C1rlmoby grower, In an interview.
'"they should be sent to Trepan or
oo china for use as bullets, What

true, but does it not ,sound more
like "passing the buck"? Some
dealers certainly are to lblmme--4f

sr-ef who is main y resin:118 ,le,
Hundreds of grower's ship at the

there are many others who persist
year after year in shipping "green
goods" in the hope 'of capturing
h'gh early prices—to get ahead of
their neighibours. They never
seen to take a lesson from the
past, even though they know full
well that the rushing of green
fruit on the market injures, and
in many cases even stops, the sale
of the later and riper shipments.
They prefer to take a chance—and
thus perhaps condemn the whole
crop. With the grape harvest
starting this month of September
It is hoped that the recent hue and
cry in the daily ,press will have
effect toward curtailing the pick-
ing and marketing of basket
grapes before they are ready for
eating,
Fruit Crop Conditions.
In Eastern Ontario very favour-
able growing conditions have pre-
vailed during the past month and
the sizing and colour of most va-
rieties of apples are above aver-
age. The coddling moth, apple
maggot, and white deaf hopper,
have caused considerable damage
but thorough spraying in most
amnrercial• orchards hes resulted.

or export apples is reported by
astern Ontario to be quite keen
with sales for local markets rather
slow except in the St, Lawrence

The, total production of apples

Why Should Bovine
Tuberculosis be Eradicated?
'limn County farmers are to be
given the opportunity of hearing
the Federal Government Restricted

November. Altogether 35 meetings
wile be held throughout the County
by Jetties, C, Shearer, Agricultural
]representative, so that every cattle
owner will be conversant with the
pules and regulations of the Plan
before they are approached with
the Petition, for their signatures.
Every citizen could ask the ques-
tion "Why should Bovine Ttubercul• ,
