In addition to Statistios of the gcai

fruit and fruit trees, the threshing, an
marketing of grain, the new crop of fol
wheat, tile draining, fall plotighin,
meat supplies, and the honey prod=
of the year.
There is a large surp:
clover in the country, the total orup je
seeding last season's by 2,036,793 ton:..
Last year the area under crop j *as:1
825,890 pores, and the average yiel
1.14 tons per acre ; this year the are
was 2,359,521 acres, and the , eve*
yield 1.75 tons. Broken weatherdurn.
the first ten days •of haying , del.aye
operations, sand a portion of the crop
was poorly cured, but the bulk of it Was
gathered in fan:. condition. The 'second
crop of clever obtained a late 'kart, but
the weather being favorable it ; pelade a
vigorous growth. The• reports i to th
Bureau show, however, that the ! nnidg
has this year extended:to all 'arts o
the Province west of Dundae:' purity
Throughout the western peninsi 1a en
the oounties bordering on Lake Oetori
it has bees very destructive. 'he lo
temperature was also unfavor bre fo
early maturity, and fields that, -scape
the midgewere smitten by Sept!mber'
frost. Where the experiment tv: s tried
of pasturing clover mita the 1Ot •r 15th
of June a good yield of seed h been
obtained—the first brood of th: midge
being too early, and the second oo late,
to do it any . injury. Aisike clover,
which thrives best on moist Ioamy
soils, is grown only to a limited eaten
in the Province. ,It was a lata y cr.►
this -year, and there will be a ee.9derat
supply of seed.
The rains of May, June and a ly de
layed the seasonable planting • ' pots
toes, and hindered the prepay tion -o
the ground for other roots. • Tb suttee,
quest drouth caused the land t bake,
and autumn growth was slow. argot
and mangolds, which go deep to th
soil, suffered least ; but turni'Jeer
almost everywhere - stnnted, a d th
average produce per acre is 150 usbe s
less than last year. In districts visited
by drenching summer rains, 'as in t e
valleys of the Thames and t1'I itla• d
rivers, much injury was done to t e
'potato crop, and in the western opuntie
of the Lake Ontario group the rot w • s
prevalent. Ae a result, the avers e
yield for the whole Province is 1 bus
e18 per aore leas than last . year. T e e
acreage androd uce of the several e o e S
for 1882 andi1883 are/ as follows i ?

The failure of fruit has been ,general
throughout the Province. The show o
apple blossoms was full ofrornise
notwithstanding that this was the riff
year for bearing, but the cold wipds and
rains which prevailed throughout May
and en into June blasted the. prospect.
The trees,however,have, made a heal thy
growth of young wood., and friti1t buds
are abundant. The.effects of laitt year's
blight are nowhere visible nb,W... A
small surplus of peaches was plrrodeced
in the Niagara peninsula and Mang the
lake shore in Norfolk. Chert:els were
scarce and almost worthless. T:'epinim
crop was large, but the quality as -in-
jured by the curculio, blight, and; the
September frost. Blackknot WI rapidly
destroying the plum and cherry orchards.
Grapes ripened slowly owing to core
tinned low temperature in Augfcs-t and
September, and were damaged y • mil-
dew and frost. Leta tomatoes were -a
total loss, having been cut d wn , by
frost. The total- atlea of oroh d an e.
garden this year is 200,846. acre , or on
