and while storage holdings are still
somewhat Leavy, the _market o ids
fairly firm. Heavy fowl ate scarce,
as receipts in this class of poultry are
less, probably owing to the better
outlook for egg prices.
Higher Turnip Prices
Owing to exceptionally dryaweatrt
er, according to 5, H. Purvis, gaer,
manager, Blackwater Turnip Gras
ers' .Asociation, the turnip crop mac
an indifferent start, The crop is, o
the average, about thirty days lat
than it would be under normal co
ditions.
He said that inspection of ear
sown turnips gives no indication
watercore or worm injury and, wit
sixty days of growing weather sti
available, fifty per cent. of a norm
yield may be expected. He estimate
that prices for turnips will be highe
owing to short feed and grain yield
and lowered vegetable production
with a probable maximtun of 25c
bushel to the grower.
Ontario Bean Crop
Prospects throughout the Ontari
bean belt, accorclitig to Ontario Mar
keting Board advices, indicate a shor
crop,
Kent and Elgin counties, repre
senting over eighty per cent. of th
bean acreage, were particularly liar
hit by dry weather. Conditions in
Huron County, however', have been
more favorable. Some crops have
benfited by recent rains, but these are
throwing the beans into second
growth.. This condition will render
the crop late in maturing, and open
great danger froth frost. The carry-
ing over of beans from the 1932 crop
is less than that of a year ago, and
July has been. the best month in the
bean business since March.
Eggs for market should never be
exposed to direct sunlight, rain, or
to' extrenie heat. It is a good plan
always to keep the eggs covered with
a cloth or other means to prevnet
ading or exaporation. In marketing,
r at any other time, eggs should not
e placed near kerosene, onions, fish
or other strong smelling substances,
ecause the eggs readily absorb od-

The 'dettand for dressed poultry,
according, to 1. A. Benson, Dominion
Poultry Branelt, has been a little
more active during the past week,
he Bumble Flower -Beetle on Fruit
At the present time a considerable
number of inquiries are being receiv-
ed from fruit growers about a beetle
—the Bumble Flower-Beetle—which
is attacking ripening fruit. This in-
sect is a yellow-brown beetle, one-
half inch or more in length, and its
wing covers sprinkled all over with
small irregular black spots. In late
summer it is found every year, in
greater or less :lumbers, feeding on
the pollen of flowers, on ripe fruit—
peaches, pears, grapes and apples—
and also on corn, but it is rarely res-
ponsible for serious damage, in fact,
declared W. A. Ross, Dominion En-
tomologist at Vineland, we have nev-
er seen the insect cause commercial
injury in Ontario, and consequently
we have never had occasion to advise
the adoption of any control meas-
ures.

The Racket of. Robber Bees
Although honey stealing by bees,
is likels9 to be most troublesome in
late summer, the bee -keeper has to
keep in mind that robber bees may
start their racket at any time. In
warm weather when there is little or
no honey to, be got from the flowers
the bees will easily yield to any
temptation to obtain it anyhow. Af-
ter more or less fighting they wilt
overpower any very weak colonies,
and carry the honey to their own
hives. Old robber bees have a shiny
appearance, the hair having become
worn off with entering so many cliff-
erent hives. No colony should be ala
lowed to grow weak, says the Dornine
ion. Apiarist, and no honey or syrup.
should be exposed in the apiary.
