Our Crops and Prospects. .
• The September Report of the Bureau
of Industries gives full information on
the progress and completion of harvest
work throughout the Province, and of ,
the state in which the various grain
crops have been garnered. It also Peals
with the oondition of pastures and live
stook, of the root and fruit crops, of
Dorn, beans and buckwheat, of the new
crop of clover and the p ospective sup-
ply of plover and timothyt seeds, the pre-
parations for sowing fall ;wheat, and the
honey Produce of the year. The Report
is prepared from information furnished
by a laege staff of correspondents in
each connty of the Pro ince, the great
majority of whom are prectioal'fa'rmers.
With the exception of Occasional fields
of lateoats and peas, h rvesting opera-
tions ere pretty gene ally concluded
by the first of September. The heavy
rains which prevailed ahaost universally
throughout Western Ontario in the ear-
lier part of August not' only made the
harvest season an unusualle long and
tediot s one, but seriously impaired the
quality of the -grain crops, and especially
fall wh4at and barley.
The yield of fall wheat will be even
greater 'than was estimated, in former
Repots ; but a considerable portion of
the croj has been housed in damp con-
dition, and rust and sprouting prevailed
in many localities.
In the western peninsula, barley is
very generally discolored, though the
grain is large and plump, and the yield
fully as large as was anticipated; In
Lenox, Addington, and Prince Edward,
howeye where this grain is so largely
sown, the harvest was favored by the
finest, weather, and the crop was .gar-
nerecd in excellent condition. Indeed,
throe gl cnit Eastern Ontario generally,
the farmers escaped the almost continu-
ous wins which rendered harvesting
operations so uncertain in the west, and
as a `result the o.roes have been much
better, aved, though the yield is not so
heavy. -
Man correspondents report that the
spring 'wheat has been badly injured
by Cunt and midge, while in more
lin tiad' localities it suffered from the
rainy Weather which followed closely on
a period of drought. On the whole, it
is less than an average crop. .
Oats; were late in ripening, and in
some extern counties shelled badly in
harvesting, but they will be fully an
averege crop.
Peas' are rather a light crop, partly
owing to the ravages of their unfailing
enemy thebug, and partly to unfavora-
ble weather.
A large quantity of fall wheat has
been threshed, but very little has yet
been, lfaarlketed, and prices are unset-
tledl
The datpage done to grain crops by
the copious rains of Angus t will be fully
balanced y the luxurian pastures they
helped to produce, and the consequent
ben et to live stock and dairy interests.
Corrie onbents almost unanimously re-
port thathe pastures were never better,
that lige stook are in excellent condition,
and'that the year has been a most pros -
porting one to dairymen. The supply of

are reported to be a worse failure than
the apples. Plums are considerably

CLOVER Al4D TIMOTHY. -The second
crop "of clovet in Lambton is very good,
and as to the new seeding Lit is said that
" a etter catch was never got." The
pros ects for the second crop in Huron
and rime are, perhape, not so promis-
ing. One farmer in Howick (Huron
county) observes that "IlumbprEi in this
viciotty are 'sowing the llge red. clover,
which yields no secon crop." This
seasdn's catch, on the other hand, is
coming up rapidly, and has already
attaiited considerable gr wth, as may
13
be jUdged from the fact, a noted by one
correipondent, that not a little was out

Rooes.-The condition
crop in the Lake Hnron
of the potato
ties is somewhat peculiar, In Lambton
and Bruce it is below" the average,
owing, in the former county, to the
injurious effect of the early rains, and
in the latter, as it would seem, chiefly
to the too constant attentions of the
ColOrado beetle. In ITuron, on the
other hand, potatoes are quite up to the
'mark and promise a good return. Any
damage done was caused by drought in
the earlier part of the 'Eeason, and no
mention is made of extensive ravages
by the bug. Turnips in oll three coun-
ties are poor and late, and in the south-
ern portion of the district have not
recovered from the attaoks of the fly.
The recent rains have, however, im-
proited the chances of this as well as of
the other root crops. ' Maligolds are
generally fair, and carrots are reported
excellent. Considerable growth in tur-
maugolds and carrots may yet be
expected ; and in view of the large hay
crop in this district 'there does not
appear to be any ground. for anticipat-
ing a scarcity of fodder for fattening
more than an averape crop, aod the bug
has not been idle," especially in Huron.
