ALBERTA CROPS GOOD.
According to the report of 'Miss
Cora Hind, crop expert of the
Winnipeg Free Press, all kinds of
crop in Southern Alberta will be
above the average this year. 'Wheat
is especially good and barring frost
'within the next few weeks other
crops will also harvest well. Wheat
cutting is already pretty well on.
PLUMIS PLIENTIFU7L.
What with the i h extreme wet of the
e
e}
u
early part of the s t
inner and the
extreme drought of the past six weeks
or so: crops of various sorts have
suffered considerably in this locality
but one sort of crop which seems to
be turning out well is Tilums.
They're making a great yield this
year and are about the only kind of
produce which is not commanding
top-notch prices. Mr. Percy Cole
the other day g brou ht Turd' The
News -Record office a bunch of plums
of the Burbank variety which was
certainly a good sample. There
were seventeen in the cluster, all
perfectly formed and of uniform size,
and he said that this wasn't by any
means unusual. Plum jam ought to
be plentiful in most households this
fall and winter.
DON'T SHOOT THE PIGEONS,
Complaints :are being made lYtt
e
owners that homing pigeons ore be-

boys. There is probably tiodble
ahead for the boys who are thus de-
fying the law frit those who take
the pains to rent and train homing
pigeons donot like to see their pro
perty wantonly destroyed; It would
be better for those who Eike that
kind of sport to go further
afield and take a shot at something
More harmful and less tame than a
homing pigeons or a mulch cow.

The Clinton Boy Scouts to the num-
ber of thirty camped at Iron Springs
all last week, making their head-
quarters an empty house conveniently
situated near the lake.
The boys left the scout rooms at
hallpast one on Monday afternoon,
a bus and a light wagon conveying
them and .the necessary 'luggage.
Scoutmaster Rev, J. A. Robinson
and a few of the boys went on be-
fore on bicycles and when the main
body arrived the house was found
to be ready for occupation. t The
boys then busied themselves 'getting
straw and 'cedar boughs ready for the
beds and after getting these in or-
der, partaking of supper and a swim,
they reti;rkd. The fact that there
wasn't mimed sleep the first night was
hardly surprising but alter that they
got down to business, an important
part •of which, it to - get a . good
night's sleep. Every day there was a
routine of practising first aid, signal-
ling, etc., and always a hike into
the surrounding country exploring.
One evening the boys went up along
the shore toward Goderieh and dis-
covered a lifeboat belonging to the
steamer McGee, which was lost in the
terrible storm of November of 1013.
Every scout of the company enjoy-
ed the outing thoroughly and only
wished it could be extended another
week.
Scoutmaster Robinson was voted a
"good sport" and has won the res-
pecthlcinof
and, likingevery y boy.
Thirty out of a camp of forty were
able to take is the outing and all

ALBERTA CROPS GOOD.
According to the report of 'Miss
Cora Hind, crop expert of the
Winnipeg Free Press, all kinds of
crop in Southern Alberta will be
above the average this year. 'Wheat
is especially good and barring frost
'within the next few weeks other
crops will also harvest well. Wheat
cutting is already pretty well on.
PLUMIS PLIENTIFU7L.
What with the i h extreme wet of the
e
e}
u
early part of the s t
inner and the
extreme drought of the past six weeks
or so: crops of various sorts have
suffered considerably in this locality
but one sort of crop which seems to
be turning out well is Tilums.
They're making a great yield this
year and are about the only kind of
produce which is not commanding
top-notch prices. Mr. Percy Cole
the other day g brou ht Turd' The
News -Record office a bunch of plums
of the Burbank variety which was
certainly a good sample. There
were seventeen in the cluster, all
perfectly formed and of uniform size,
and he said that this wasn't by any
means unusual. Plum jam ought to
be plentiful in most households this
fall and winter.

THE BOY SCOUTS' OUTING.
The Clinton Boy Scouts to the num-
ber of thirty camped at Iron Springs
all last week, making their head-
quarters an empty house conveniently
situated near the lake.
The boys left the scout rooms at
hallpast one on Monday afternoon,
a bus and a light wagon conveying
them and .the necessary 'luggage.
Scoutmaster Rev, J. A. Robinson
and a few of the boys went on be-
fore on bicycles and when the main
body arrived the house was found
to be ready for occupation. t The
boys then busied themselves 'getting
straw and 'cedar boughs ready for the
beds and after getting these in or-
der, partaking of supper and a swim,
they reti;rkd. The fact that there
wasn't mimed sleep the first night was
hardly surprising but alter that they
got down to business, an important
part •of which, it to - get a . good
night's sleep. Every day there was a
routine of practising first aid, signal-
ling, etc., and always a hike into
the surrounding country exploring.
One evening the boys went up along
the shore toward Goderieh and dis-
covered a lifeboat belonging to the
steamer McGee, which was lost in the
terrible storm of November of 1013.
Every scout of the company enjoy-
ed the outing thoroughly and only
wished it could be extended another
week.
Scoutmaster Robinson was voted a
"good sport" and has won the res-
pecthlcinof
and, likingevery y boy.
Thirty out of a camp of forty were
able to take is the outing and all
