Crop Conditions in Ontario The crop outlook in Ontario showed considerable improvement during July and with a continuation of oruble growing and harvesting v -e - tiler the yield per acre of mist acid clops this season will be almost normal. says the monthly crop .. port of the Ontario Department „t A.riehlture. The quality of the hay is variable as a considerable portion was dam- aged by wet weather and in other eases the cutting Was delayed and the quality is rather coarse. A large quantity of hay, however was raved iit gond condition, The per acre yield of fleet cutting of alfalfa is placed at 1,96 tons as compared with 1.r,0 tons in 1939. Alfalfa has made good second growth and is now generally' ready for cutting. There will be plentiful supplies of hay and, clover available in Ontario for all winter feeding re- quirements. The harvesting of full wheat has been completed in some counties in south-western Ontario. The first es- timate of production places the 1940 yield at 29.5 bushels pdr acre as eon:- pared on;pared with 30,3 bushels in 1939. and 20,7 bushels in 1933. The acreage har- vested this season is 776.400 acres which is approximately 411,000 acre:; greater than a year ago, and as a re- sult total production of fall wheat Yor 1940 will amount to 22,880,0uo bush- els as compared with 22,271,00o bush- els obtained last Year. Spring grains made c'xe'elletat growth during July, and the condition of these crops at the first of August was reported to be ouly slightly be- low average. Heavy rains and wind storms caused a considerable amount of lodging to crops which were sus- ceptible to lodging as a result of the very rapid growth. This will make harvesting more difficult, but it is not expected to lower the yield mat- erially. The (tot wave during the lat- ter part of July has ripened spring grains very rapidly and cutting of early oats and barley has been under way. The acreage of spring grains was somewhat reduced this season owing to prolonged wet weather at seeding time. Dry beaus appear more promising than 0 month ago but are still below average. In Kent county, where al- most one-half the acreage is located, the crop is spotty, and in Middlesex, although development Inas been good in recent weeks, many fields are patchy and backward from wet wea- ther 1n June, In Huron county this crop is reported spotty, Agent—"I forget to mention that in thiscountry house you're buying there are two very old stained-glass windows."
