The apple dealers, will tell you, encu of long years of experience dike Adam Scott and David Cantelon, that from present indications the crop of Spies this year will be a poor one. They will sap further that, there are; eel - dont two good amps In succession and that the yield in 1914 was an excep- tionally fine one. With 7Russats and Baldwins it will be very much the saute -extra big and clean crop in 1914, small in 49.15. The Kings look fairly good, but as for fall apples k a yet differ. Taken en as opinions as } e whole, the apple crop of 1015 is not expected to be ftp to an average.

The lady mentioned in the following item taken from a recent issue of the Edmonton (Alta,) Journal was form- erly Miss May Rance of town. Mr. and Mrs.McK'inno visited (sited in Clinton last autumn, leaving here for their "farm" west of Edmonton, where they spent the winter. Miss Rance was always fond of adventure and PP r be nowin a position sitfot eas to appears where it occasionally comes her way. Those who know her will understand how thoroughly she would enjoy this unique water journey : "Travelling in unfrequented places holds no, terrors for Mr. and Mrs. Jack McKinnon, who, arrived in Ed- monton on Sunday after paddling' down the Saskatchewan a distance ,of 150 miles. Lindale, their starting place, is situated west of Edmonton on the south hank of the Saskatchewan. As yet this place has no railway facilit- ies, the nearest railway point being Gainsford, on the G.T.P., from which travellers have the choice or, walking, riding, or driving the remainder of I the way. • To overcome this difficulty Sir. McKinnon devoted a day's time to building a vessel suitable for nav- igating the currents of the Saskat- chewan, askat chewan, a flat-bottomed barge about twelve feet in length. Supplied Withy provisions and a camping outfit, Mr. and Mrs. McKin- non boarded their boat on 'Thursdap morning. Travelling by day and Gauping on the river's bank at night, they reached Edmonton on Sunday. They started out at sunrise each morning, as soon as the mists' had lifted-, and when they camped at night they were as tired as theyl were hungry at meal times, and with beds of balsam boughs needed no lullaby to put them to sleep. The trip, Mrs. • McKinnon slates, was wonderful, the scenery gorgeous. All the way the river winds along between high banks now clothed with the tender green leaves of spring. Numerous flocks of wild geese and ducks were seen winging their way along on thein flight to the north, and the coyotes were often observed front the boat, as well as other game, Along the river the miners were • very much in 'evidence., some washing gold, others making camp, and others again portaging their canoes against the stream. All were bent on the search for the gold of the Saskatche- wan. Mr. and Mrs. McKinnon are nests On Monday Mr. Ed. Johnston of the 2nd of Mullett laid upon The News -Record's table stalks of fall rye three and a half feet long and which were just palled at 'random in his field. Mr, Johnston has been feeding it. to his stock for some days. Dur- ing the many years Mr. Johnston farmed in North Dakota he every season had a crop of rye and as the yield was never a failure the net results were an good if not better than obtained from wheat. While rye bread is a rarity in Old Ontario, •in the prairie states the black'bread obtained therefrom is almost as com- mie as white, INSPECTOR O. JOHNSON.'

THE BRONCHO FOUND, The broncho mare of Mir. Adam Scott, north of town, which • was headed from Hoare by an auto party on the evening of the 2nd inst., was located down in the centre of Mc Killop, twentp miles from horns last week by 5th. James Dale whon out cattle.,buying. Mr. Scott was glad to get the broncho back and it seemed really to he rejoicing as it approached its old stable. AN UNUSUAL ADVENTURE. A somewhat exciting adventure hap- pened on Yonge street, Toronto, one day recentl}'t when a deer which was being shipped escalcd in some way from its confinement and wandered Up town. The poor animal was no doubt much more frightened than anyone whom it met but nevertheless its .appearance .was creating quite a disturbance. Just then' 'Ppli0eman Frank Williams, son of Mr. Hailliams, Goderich township; hap - leaned to .pass on a stres-t ear. On seeing the people scurrying out of the way anti ascertaining the, cause he jumped from the car and being join- ed by one or two more members of the • force they crowded the frightened animal into a doorway, s3cured •it with ropes and had it canveyed to the police station and its proper des- tination was speedily located. Such a visitor to a crowded city thorough- fare is somewhat rare and there, is not a doubt but •maty Toronto, Peo- ple half their • first sight that clay of a real live deer. OVER FOUR SCORE.

BELGIAN PLOTS. The Education Department is trying to interest the children throughout the Province of Ontario in behalf'of the Belgians. Their idea is to'have each child plant one., square rod .of-' potatoes' at his home, the plots to be known as "Belgian Plots.." The product of •the plots is to be conect- ed in the fall and sold ,and the mon- ey given to the Belgian Fluid. This will not only induce many schools to do something in the way of lions -a gardening but will also be a means of keeping alive their love for that heroic people whose country lies desolate as a result of the carnage t f war and at the same time it will enable tient by the expenditure of little money and some care to do more for their' relief than they other- wise might feel disposed to cin. The following is a list of the bra s and girls in the Clinton Mode School who have volunteered to plant one square rod of potatoes and main., n ore would gladly have done so if tray had the ground available at their homes, We ,would kindly, ask the parents to take an interest rr the children's plots.
