Moisture supplies have :been sufficient +up to 'the present that rainfall is needed now in some sections for continued developinent. Condition . figures re- ported by correspondents show vege- table crops generally in average to somewhat above average condition at the 15ath of (June. The total ,commer- cial vegetable acreage is about the sante in Eastern 'Ontario and -slightly higher in Western Ontario. Sugar' Beet Crop The acreage of commercial sugar beet crop is ,estimated at 27,000 acres this year. The sugar beets have come along fast and give every evidence of being a good crop. Thinning opera- tions 'have been carried out and the stands are excellent. The .contract price of sugar beets calls 'for a mini- mum of 1$6:05 per ton for beets deliv- ered to the factory and $5.50 for de- livery to ,outside weigh stations with a bonus of 1.18 cents ,per, ton for each one per cent of sugar in ,the beets above 1114 per cent.

Manion, who was elect- ed Leader of the 'Conservative party last week. but a few shipments were con- signed to the United Kingdon and other countries, This is a different showing as compared with a few years ago when annual exports amounted to 8 to 112 million pounds. A much 'larger 'crop, 'however, is ex- pected for '11998 as the alsike was win- tered' well generally . and there is a mach larger acreage in Ontario than for some years. Alsike is one of the dependable ex- port seeds 'grown in Canada. Euro- pe -all countries and the 'United States want the seed ,but it must be satisfac- tory in quality. Canadian growers should not overlook the ,fact that quality is the deciding factor and means the difference 'between profit and doss in growing,the crop. By qual- ity is meant freedom from weed seeds and good calor. The former may be attained by sowing 'No. l al- sike on clean fields and ba 'hand pull- ing and spudding the weeds tbefore the crop is harvested. 'Good color is ex- tremely important also, and this re- sults largely 'by ltanvesting at the right time and permitting as little weathering as possible, Fruit Crop Report Eastern :Ontario—The prospects far a heavy crop of apples is not quite as good as it was the first of the month. Most varieties promise an average crop in 'Northumberland, 'Prince Ed- ward and Hastings Counties, as well as the St. Lawrence district,with somewhat lighter crop of winter va- rieties in Durham and Ontario Coun- ties. On the whole, total apple ,produc- tion in Eastern Ontario should be considerably larger than last year. Showery weather two weeks ago was favorable for the development of scab which is showing on foliage and ap- ples in some orchards. •Oherries will only be an average crop. Brawn rot is showing in some orchards. Plums and pears will be light crops. Northern 'Ontario—Although rather early to give definite indications, it would appear that early varieties of apples such as Wealthy, Duchess and McIntosh show above average pros- pects. Other varieties below average. Other fruits, average.

The loss is estimated at +:•,000; with insurance of 15,900, The origin of the fire is a mystery. The plant was inspected early in the evening and everything was in good order.

Three-quarters of the province remain forest clad, literally web- bed with rivers and lakes; the eternal Atlantic and the mighty tides of the Bay of Fundy lap its sun -kissed shores; a wise pro- uannue of fish and game protec tioai ensures sport for years to vane; an inexhaustible simply of snthtnn Prom the ocean affords the wit td s ',est fishing in the coastal s eagll year. The r"naatning one-quarter of Inc province is a beauti,ul blend- ing of sleepy farmland, bustling cities, and secluded resorts, toned by the mellowness of age. The province is rich in historic sites, which, because of their association with the early days of the Continent, are of peculiar in- terest to visitors, Annapolis Royal, Fort Anne, and the fortress of Louisburg are among the care- fully pneserved places where im- portant pages of history were written. The Park at Grand Pre shows the land of Longfellow's Evangeline as it was in the days of the Acadians. Nova Scotia has still further appeals to the visitor -good rail- ways, modern roads, and splendid hotels where provision has been made for all types of summer sport. Of these hotels, the best known are The Pines at Digoy, open from June 24 to September 14; Cornwallis Inn at Kentville, open all year; and Lakeside Inn at Yarmouth, open from June 28 to September 8. The pictures above, top row, left to right, show: A visitor examining lobster pots down by the docks; the Queen of the Anna- polis Valley Apple Blossom Fes- tival; an Mr, the beast ofburden common t0 the Maritimes; and the Canadian Pacific Steamship "Princess Helene," which oper- ates a regular schedule across the Bay of Fundy between Nova Sco- tia and New .Brunswick.
