Flowers furnished Night or day p'hone 87 Summary of Frult and Vegetable Prospects Weather conditions have been gen- erally favorable for development of tree .fruits during the . (past month. 'Moisture supplies 'have been ample in all section of the province ;except in the Bowmanviile-Newcastle district where only scant precipitation was re- ceived ;during the •past six weeks. Heavy showers, however, fell in this district. on August 19th. IAlpples are sizing 'better than 'last year and present prospect's indicate'an increase of '212 per- cent. in total pro= duction in Western Ontario over last year, and a reduction of 138 per cent. in the orchard's east ,of Toronto. The total production of 11957 is now esti- mated at 71I1J508 .barrels as compared with 703,9000 'barrels in 1996. 'Where intensive spraying has 'been practiced insect pests and fungus disease have 'been fairly well controlled, although, in a few areas there is now evidence of scab infestation. Side -worm injury is show'in'g badly in many orchards. !Early varieties of apples are being harvested and are reported •to be of good quality. Buyers are now becom- ing active and a few sales by the or- chard have 'been made. The 'peac'h crop is expected to be approximately 25 per cent greater than a year ago and frait is sizing well. Weather :conditions, however, have been favorable ,for the develop- ment of brown -rot and insect injury. With an improvement in weather con- ditions' before harvesting, and provid-' mg intensive spray'in'g is continued, an above average yield ,of good qual- ity fruit should he obtained. A .fair yield of most varieties of p'Iutns ' is anticipated, with Grand D'u'kes and Reine CTaudes appearing as the least promising. !Total praduc- tign is es'tim•ated as 58,900 bushels, a gain of 43' per cent. over the very small crop of 41;2001 bushels harvested in'119(3f6. ,A'lthou'gh weather and mois- ture conditions- have been generally Favorable dor pl'u'ms, rot is somewhat far evidence 'throughout ,the Niagara Peninsula, especially :in poorer spray- ed _orchards, Practically all commercial varieties of pears have made xceblent grow th during the pest Month and are quite Good Equipment makes a Good Farmer Better FOR QUALITY & SERVICE BUY McCormick Deering Farm Machinery AND REPAIRS From Your Local Dealer DEAR CUSTOMERS: Farm Machinery has advanced in price, but we are able to fill and take new orders for a few more days at the old prices until our new list ar- rives, We would advise you to place your orders now for any .machines you wish to purchase the coming year.

JOHN BACH Main St. Phone 17 free from' insect or disease ' injury: The crop is sizing well and total pro- duction is estimated to be somewhat higher than a'month ago at 1W17,iCR0 bushels, a reduction of 133 per cent. from last year, when the total yield amounted to 11196,8601 bushels. ,Grapevines are reported in a heal- thy condition with' berries sizing well. Prospects are ,favorable for a good normal yield, 'A large number of vine- yards have not been carefully sprayed and hoppers and mildew are quite prevalent in these ,graperies. Lt care- fully sprayed vineyards disease and insects are well under control, The cantaloupe crop will not ap- proach the 'bumper proportions indic- aced a month ago, but will he a good average yield. Owing to a spell of very dry weather the set of blossoms was restricted and sizing of melons was affected in some plantations. Vine blight has developed in some patches and the 'grading quality is generally lower due to inferior netting. (Field tomatoes are not in as good oanditions as at the middle of July due to too much precipitation in Wes- tern Ontario and to hot dry weather in the tomato growing sections .of ,Eas- tern Ontario. In Eastern 'Ontario the condition is reported to the still above average, but 'in Western 'Ontario it is slightly below average. In the coun- ties of Halton and Welland prospects are reported •considera'hely below av- erage. Total canning factory tomato acreage this year amounts to 314,71010 acres as against 21,54143 acres last year. Processing plants 'have already com- menced canning tomatoes, which is caviler than expected. Want arid Far Sale :ads, 111`eweelc, 2151c TOWN TOPICS Mrs. J. B. Downey of 'Detroit a Mrs, 'QDen) J, M.

Beside him stood his partner With low and drooping head, Listening to the last words The dying hobo said.' "I am going to a letter land Where everything is bright: Where hand-outs grow on bushes. And you can sleep. out every night. "Where you don't have to work at all. Or even change your socks: Little streams of whiskey Cone trickling out of rocks. "Tell my sweetheart back in Denver Her face no more I'll view. Tell hen I've jumpedmy last freight, Now I'm going through. "Hark! I heat' her whistling, f must catch her on the fly. Farewell, partner, T. must leave you. It ain't sohard to die." • The hobo stopped, his head •fell back. He'd'sung his. last refrain; • And his partner swiped his hat and shoes, And jumped the eastbound brain. STOCK.
