Fine Crop Prospects Reports from district representat- ives reveal that practically all faun crops, with the exception of straw- berries, which are expected to be below average yield, give promise of good returns. Warm weather and frequent showers have brought along sprang grains wonder'fu'lly, 'Pasture has made good headway, which is most fortunate as feed supplies are beginning to run low, I•t is almost certain that the acreage of both spring grains and new alfalfa, clovers and grases will, be much greater than for some years past. This increase, together with the -absence of winter killing, indicates a large crop of home-grown feed next fall. to de- crease in milk shipments to cheese factories is noticeable, ,due largely to low prices being offered for ,cheese. `While too early to make any defin- ite prediction regarding fruit pros puts, P. W. Hodgetts, director of the Fruit Branch, states that every- thing so far is favorable. All classes of fruit carne through the winter in excellent. shape and there has been a wonderful showing of blossom. With continued seasonable weather, a big yield may be expected of apples. peaches, cherries, plums and other fruit. Minister's Report The report of Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy. Minister of Agriculture, for the year ending October 31st, shows ata glance the many and varied ac- tivities being carried out under the different departmental branches, in- cluding the work done at O. ,A. C. and the various experimental farms throughout the .province. 'Any farmer w -ho doubts that the Departmentis accomplishingvaluable work should obtain a copy of this report. Trap The Borer The suggestion has been advanced that a trap crop of corn consisting of about half a dozen rows of early sown rapid grooving corn, it put in as early ae the ground is fit. will in most years lessen the amount of injury done the main cop by corn borers, if the nsain crop is sown a few- day; later than the ideal date. The . trap crop should be cut low about the end of the first week in August, when all borer eggs have beenla d and should be removed and fed to live stack.

A dapper little man in a group in front of the hotel 'was telling the others he could tell from a man's looks what part of the county he came from. 'You, for example,” he said to the man next him, "you're from Seaforth?” He was right. Turning to the man on the other sideof him—"You, I should say, are from down Exeter way " Again he was right. The other two now became inter- ested. "Anel you are from Windham " he asked the third man, Yes, I'm from \\'ingham all right," was the reply. 'And von from Clinton, I should say?" to the last 'man. \o. sr, answered the man with considerable warmth. "I've been sick or six weeks; that's what makes me look like this." • South Huron Crops. The wheat has come tl'reuglt the - winter In perfect 'condition on the whole, being a little damaged by sprig frosts. Clover looks well also. Growth of pasture was slow up to the first week in May. Stock is scarce, so 'many, farms having been seeded to grass on account of the scarcity of skilled farm labor. 'There has been 5 cents and over 'paid for grass cat- tle in this section this year. The ac- reage in spring 'crops is gradually growing less, but the grain sawn has gone .n, in good condition. A less acreage will be sown this year in this neighborhood in sugar beets. .Less silage is also grown, and there will be fewer roots generally.
