A deapatch from Toronto says
The greetings of the Prince of Wales
to the Association of British Scientists
were extended it the inaugural meet-
ing at Convocation Hall when -the rive -
sage wes read formally. The Prince
said:
Dear Mr. President:
Will you be good enough to convey
to the members of the British Associa-
tion at their inaugural meeting in To
ronto my cordial good wishes for a
very successful session? '
My knowledge of Canada assures
- me that your visit will be warmly
welcomed, and that nothiag but good
can come of such a gathering, where
the representatives of the most aa-
vanced thought from the Old Country
will meet in discussion the equally
keen and active intellects' of the
Younger Land.
My interest has been particularly,
arrested by one item that is to come'
up for diecuseion;eamely, the Educa-
tional Training of Boys and Girls in
this country for Life Cverseas. The
cell of the Empire for a wider dis-
tribttion -of the home population, for
men and women to open up the vast'
uhealtivated areas in the great Over -
Seas Dominions is more imperative to-
day than at any time in its history.
I congratulate the Association on
thus showing in. its deliberations such
a broad ieterest in these problems,
and I trust, and indeed am confident,
that the influence thus exercised may
result in great Arld extended benefits
to the Empire. ..
Yours, truly,
EDWARD P.

REPORT IMPROVE,
ME. NT jN U.S. CROPS
Wheat Harvest Will Total
814,117,000 Bushels--.•
Corn 2,576,41)0;000.
A despatch from Washington
says: -Most of the country's crops
improved substantially during July,
and production prospects at the be-
ginning of this month were consider-
ably better than a month ago. The
Crop Reporting Board of the Depart-
ment of Agriculture issued forecasts
for the principal crops, basing its cal-
culations on the condition of the crop's
on Aug. 1. Wheat, corn, oats, barley,
potatoes and rye all showed increases
over last month, but sweet potatoes,
tobacco, rice, hay, apples and peanuts
registered declines. '
A wheat crop of 814,117,000 buidiele
is indicated for 'this year. 'Winter
wheat harvests are considerably
greater then, expected, and 689,350,000
bushels are ,ie, the preliminary, eati-
mate. ,
The unusually favorable weather
resulted. in exceptionally plump, -heavy
kernels of high quality, and an aver-
age of 16 bushels per acre for the
country.
July weather resulted in an increase
of 46,000,000 busheIa of winter wheat
over the forecast made a month ago,
the major part of the increase being
in Kansas 'and Nebraska.
Spring 'wheat had almost ideal
weather in Minnesota and iii part of
North Dakota, but farther west it was
less favorable, and in Washington the
crop is unusually poor. From Aug. 1
conditions a forecast of 224,767,000
bushels was made for the spring
wheat crop. That is 28,000,000 bush-
els more than the forecast last month,
Corn deteriorated much less than
usual July, and while the conditim
of the crop on Aug. 1 is the lowest on
record, with three exceptions, since
statistics were begun in 1863, a fore-
cast of 2,676,400,000 buehels is made
for this year.
