Western Ontario Fruit Crop Weather conditions have been fav- orable for the development and har- vesting of all fruit crops. Apples have sized and colored ex- ceptionally well. Although scab and late infestation of codling moth were quite prevalent in some area,, fun- gus and insect pests generally were kept tinder control in well cared for commercial orchards. Hail damage has :been commparatively slight and confined to the -occasional localized area; Damage by wind has also been negligible, the only serious loss re- ported being to 'one orchard in Georg- ian Bay district.

Some brown rot was in evidence int most varieties throughout the season, but no serious loss was incurred. With the exception of some loss by :brown rot in peaches, particularly in the Rochester variety, and a some- what .greater than usual amount of split pits, caused by excessive mois- ture, the quallity of the fruit was gen- erally good. The quality of pears was exception- ally good this season. The crop was practically free from insect injury and sizing was above average. Harvesting of plums, peaches and pears has 'been completed. Hopper damage to grapes was quite prevalent in many vineyards, bat the quality of the fruit was very good, Owing to continued mild wea- ther the dight crop is practically all off the vines. The low bunch set re- duced production which is now esti- mated at 451% below that of last sea- son. • Small Potato Crop According to the first estimate just issued, the 191318 potato crop in Cana- da is placed at 36,043,000 cwt. This is the smallest crop on record since 19115,and is 1,4 per cent 'below that of 11937. Short crops in recent years were 35,000,000 cwt. in 11935, and 39,000,000 cwt,ln 1932 and in 1936, The October first estimate of the 1938 United! States potato crop is 373,275,000 bush- els, a decrease -of 20,0114,000 bushels on 1937. Guelph Winter Fair - Increased - prize money for 'classes of early oats and seed corn has been approved by the Directors of the Guelph Winter Fair. This is in 'keep- ing with their desire to give greater recognition to the products of the field as well as to live stock, announ- ces E. K,Hampson, 'Vice -President of the Fair and Chairman of the Seed Department. It is also in recognition of the loyalty and interest of the large number of 'seed producers who sup- port the Show from year to year, Mr. Hampson states. The Guelph Winter Fair is known throughout Ontario as the "Farmers' Show." Here gather scores of the best farmers of the province to meet their neighbors and get the newest informa- tion from the Ontario Agricultural College officials. who are always - in attendance. This year the O.A.C. will have a large display showing the results o' pasture and feeding experiments, as well as -a description of the approved varieties of potatoes, grains and other farm crops, In co-operation with the Corn Growers' Association, the Federal Government through W. J. W. Len- nox, will .place some "corn facts" be- fore the grower and feeder of Ontario corn. Generally speaking, !Ontario crops have 'been above the average and pros- pects are good for the largest seed show in the history of -the Guelph Show. Dates for this year's fair are Nov- ember owember 29, 30 and December ,1st. Preparing ,Winter Quarters For Poultry In common practice on the average Canadian farm, late September or the month of October is the time the new crop of pullets is housed in prepara- tion for their first year's production. Before the birds are taken off range, however, it is necessary, in the inter- . ef the comfort and general health of the 'sirds,'as well as the conveni- ence of the operator, to give the poul- try premis.es a thorough and systema- tic overhauling. A start should be made with the eli- mination of all older stock that is not to be carried over the winter. If the farmer depends on the purchase of day-old chicks for flocic renewal, this may possibly mean the disposal of all stock in the plant. If breeders are to be retained, they should be separated from the laying stock is sufficient apace is available. Having removed surplus stock, at- tention should be centred an the prem- ises, If portable panel fencing is used, the hurdles may be removed and stor- ed for the winter. Runways may be limed rand ploughed. If convenient, remove all loose fittings such as nests, roosts, drop boards, front the house and expose them to the bright .stin for severaldays. They should first,'o.f course, be cleaned of all dust and lit- ter. Scrape and sweep floors, and sweep walls and ceilings. After clean- ing is completed, apply a good lime wash to every part of the interior of the house. Disinfectants may be add- ed to the wash if 'considered advisable. Incidentally, a spray pump is the most satisfactory method of white- washing as it is then possible to drive the material into all cracks or seams. Apply a thorough coat of whitewash to the fittings, nests, roosts, etc. be- fore they are returned to place. Stop any drafts, such as open seams, knot holes, etc, and replace broken window glass and any torn 'cotton in the ventilating sashes. Put in a good supply of fresh, glean litter, and your 'house is •ready for the birds whenever they are brought in from range. ' Fruit Crop Conditions In Eastern 'Ontario very favourable growing conditions have prevailed during the past month and the sizing and colour of most varieties of apples are who've average. The codling moth, apple maggot, and white leaf hopper, havecaused considerable damage, but thoroughspraying in most commer- cial orchards has resulted in very dean crops. The demand for export apples is reported by Eastern ,Ontar- io Ontario to be quite keen with sales for lo- cal markets rather stow except in the St, Lawrence Valley clistrict where there is a good demand at prices equal to last season. In Western Ontario apples have de- veloped Well with size and colour stated to be exceptionally good al- though some scab and infestation of sidewarm is in evidence in many or- chards. Fungus and insect pests are generaf'y well controlled in commer- cial orchards • where spraying was thoroughly carried out. The total production of apples in Ontario this season is •estimated at 825,400 barrels, which is an increase of 1111% above the 71115,300 barrels picked in 19317. A gain of 137'% in Eastern 'Ontario's crop more than off- sets a 23% decline in the anticipated production for Western Ontario. The plum crop is practically har- vested with the exception of very late varieties. -'The quality and size are gond. Total production is estimated at 57,700 bushels as against 56,000 last year. With the exception of some loss to peaches by ground rot, .parti- catlarly in Rochester variety, and a greater than usual amount of split - pits, the quality of the peach crop has been generally good. Tile September estimate places the yield at 15512,000 bushels, a gain of approximately 5% over a year ago. Sizing and quality of pears are ab- ove average and there is very little in- sect injury. Late varieties will be har- vested within the next two weeks. The August estimated production of 1188,500 'bushels has been raised to 1913,6001 bushels and represents an in- crease of 4% over 11937, Grapes generally have a d- and 2 - bunch set as compared with a 2- and 3 -bunch set last year. As a result the crop is estimated at 301% below that of last year. Slight mildew, together with considerable leaf hopper injury is expected to affect -the development and the maturity somewhat. Blues show a reduction of 311!%, whites of 10% and red 2%. Teacher noticed that one of her pupils was •being dreadfslly teased by the other little boys during play- tinte, and drew near to the group to hear what was happening. "Come on, Bill," they were insist- ing. "tell us what your father is." But the child remained obstinately silent. Teacher decided that she bad ,bet- ter interfere, and, breaking up the group, took little Bill aside. "Why wouldn't you answer their question?" site asked gently. At first Bill would not reply, but in the end it seemed to be almost a relief to him, and he burst out: "Father's the 'bearded 'lady in a cir- cus, miss, so, of course, I couldn't say."
