CROP CONDITIONS IN ONTARIO The harvesting of farm crops which proceeded very slowly this season clue to lateness of seeding and unfavorable weather for stook thresh- ing -operations in the western portion of the province is now practically completed. A small portion of the root crops is still in the fields but the harvesting of these crops should be finished by November 16th. After -harvest estimates of crap production show little change from the earlier estimates, states the monthly crap report of the Ontario department of agriculture, The yield Per acre o4 fall wheat, spring oats, barley, mixed grains and buckwheat, vary less than a bushel from the yield obtained in 1939, which was a "" very good crop year. Dry beaus, potatoes, tobacco mid fodder corn suffered from unfavorable weather and have given considerable smaller yields per acre than a year ago, while the production of hay and clover, :e)falt'a. and turnips and mangolds was above normal. Although the gnaltty- nt a largo proportion of the groin crops was substantially reduced by wet weather in Western Ontario, the province as a whole will have ample supplies of grain and fodder FREE SERVICE OLD, DISABLED OR DEAD HORSES OR CATTLE removed promptly and efficiently, Simply phone "COLLECT" to WILLIAM STONE SONS LIiwOTED PHONE 21 - INGERSOLL PHONE 219 - MITCHELL November Session of Huron County Council Geo.

That there is an increase of the corn borer in Huron County was reported by the Corn Boxer Inspector Ross, Johnston, who said with so nisch wet weather, it is hard to combat. The Airport 'Committee reported that the (tell Telephone 'Company's account for work at Sky Harbor was ;sstiet Hydro 51;47.1 less salaries and recommended that $75 rent for the half-year he paid to Tune. for winter feeding requirements. In a few counties, however, supplies of feed grain will be scarce and pui'ch- asestvill have to be made, and good seed grain will also be in demand in Western Ontario next spring. Pastures have been good all fall in Western and bunt of Central ttral Ontm•io: but have suffered front a long period of dry weather in Eastern Ontario and are very pom'. As a consequenee millet flow has been well maintained in the central and western canntles but has fallen off in eastern Ontario, The acreage planted 10 wheat this fall shows a decided droll from ,t year ago. For the province as n whole it is estimated that the seeded area is 33%a of the acreage harvested this 0005011. In Southern Ontario the acreage seeded is reported at O0%, in Western Ontario at 79% turd its Central Ontario at S0% The reduc- tion is accounted for by a shortage of labor and a prolonged period of rainy weather which delayed harvest- ing of grain crops and in some cases made the lantl ton wet for plonghltg. The condition of fall wheat is some- what below noemal. Many early sown fields have all abundant top growth, but others, which were seeded late, are not (suite so promising: Generally speaking, fields of fall wheat show a wide variation in appearance. Plough- ing is particularly backward this sea- son, and al. the 11r•st of November only 54%. of the land intended Inc next year's crops was eonipletect as enno Pared with 79% at the suite date last year, The season has bean unfavorable for the produc•liun or buy and clover seeds. and timothy was the only crop where a good yield of seed was oh. lathed.
