Against 116 In a 36 -Year Period. Toronto Despatch —Estimates com- piled from reports received, during the firat two Weeks of the month from growers and dealers indicate that the average yield or iptatoes hi all the countlea in Old Ontario will be 86 bushels to the acre. When it is re- .eorded that the average yield per acre for this area for the last 36 yeare was 116 bushels, the seriousness of the drought from which this part of the Province suffered will be appreciated. Since the .reports upon which these estimates were based leave been re- ceived there have been copious rains, so that it is to be expected the Crop will improve. The Western section of Old Ontario has been the hardest hit. Essex county reports the lowest yield of 49 bushels, and Norfolk 46 bushels to the acre. Wellington county reports the best yield of 160 bushels to the acre, The districts in which the prop Is reported as good are in Caledon township, in Peel, the section sur- rounding Orangeville in Dufferin county, Mt. Albert in York county, and Uxbridge in Ontario county. The drought which hurt the Old On- tario crop also affected several parts of Northern Ontario. This was not the ease in Rainy River eistrict, how- ever. There the potato crop was hurt by excessive rains. It is esti, mated that there will be 60,000 bags of certified seed of the Green Moun- tain and Irish Cobbler varieties avail- able for sale from the north to Old Ontario next year. The yields in all districts in North- eru Ontario are esthnated at. from 150 to 200 bushels per acre, although around Kenora, the prospective yield is 200 bushels per acre. This strong- ly contrasts, however, with the yield of past years of 400, and even 600 bushels •to the acre. The crop, Mr. Justus Miller, Field terop :Specialist of the Department of Agriculture, states, in compiling the potato •survey in the Maritime Pro- vinces, is equal to last year and the crop conditions' are good. In Mani- toba the acreage is slightly less, but it is estimated the yield will be about the average. Saskatchewan and Al- berta have short crops, but British Columbia reports that prospects are bright for a big yield. 4 • I NOT NECESSARY. "It would please me very much, Miss Stout," said Mr. Mugley.

NEW CONCEPTIONE OF THE EMPIR Chain of Independent States Around World. Each Regarding Self as a • Centre, • London Cable --- (Reuter dee- patca.)—Speaking recently at a lunch- eon to Australiams here, Lieut. -Col, Under.Secreeary for the Colo- nies, expressed the opinion that we mtist get away front trie tclea that tweedy,' unity meant drawing to- gether more closely to a centre in London. The British Empire, he said, must be regarded not as a group of states around a common centre, but a chalet or self -dependent states around the world, each of which regards itsele as the centre or a whe.le. The Morning Post states enquiries Show that this sentiment is acclaimed in the dominions. It publishes an in- terview with Senator Pearce, the Aus- tralian Minister of Militia and De- fence, who said that he welcomed this new conception, of einpire, and added: "If that conception dominates the policy and action of the Imperial Government and its -future relations with the component parts of the British Empire, it will be a long step towards the realization of the aims and aspirations of the British domin- ions. "We cannot ensure that the British people be as well informed of the dominions as we are of the mother- land. without the aid of the British press," he said, "If the people or Great Britain are told only of our mis- doings and ,our misfortunes, and not of our resources and the use we are making of them, and if the news of our great dominions is treated as of less importance than that of minor European states,it must inevitably follow that the dominions of the ein• pire will take second place in their thoughts." NATURE ON THE JOB. (Philadelphia Record.) Nature, including the Immo, variety, has wonderful ways of healing her acaes. There has never been anything of the reactionary about Nature in all the ages of her existence. Though she may seem at times to go back, she doesn't really; it's our vision usually that's at fault, and that whieh we deem a retrograde movement is in fact a return to the true groove from that which we had considered her progress was merely a faulty divergence. • Take, for instance, the common be- tier—which certain scientists have as- sured us is a fact—that more boys than girls are born during and imme- diately after a war. This is Nature's way of replenishing the forces deplet- ed by the cannons.

Paris Cable — The euecessful advan, of General Denekine in southern Russia, taken in connection with the British naval attack on leronstadt and the movement of the Poles and the Northwestern. Russian army against the Bolsheviki, has at- tracted much attention in Peace Con- ference circles. The Russian Political Committee in Paris is hopeful that the general anti -Bolshevik movement may be successful. before winter, in spite of the reverses suffered by the forces of Admiral Kolchak in the East. According to messages received by the Russian Committee, the Donekine forces are marching on Kiev, after having taken Ieherson and Nikolaiev, East of Kiev the Denekine forces have occupied virtually all the important railway centres as far as the Volga, a distance of about 650 miles. Along the Volr they are moving north to- ward S ratov, having captured Zolo- tus. Denikine now controls a great section of European Russia, and holds the sources of the chief coal -and oil supplies. The Peace Conference repeatedly has had under consideration plans for preventing theBeisheviki from get- ting supplies without establishing an actual blockado . against Petrograd. There is much -objection to blockading a country when ea state of war against it has not been declared. No plan has been devised which seems to meet the situation, but the blockade actually exists, because of the naval activity in the Baltic Sea, designed to protect the Baltic. States against the Bolshevik fleet. Cold weather will very shortly block Petrograd from the Sea. The Black Sea is dosed to Bolshevik trade, and Germeny cannot send goods to Moscow because of the Polish barrier. Siberia is cut off by the Kolchak forces, and the northerm coast is controlled by the allies. As a result it is iinpossible for the Soviet Government to get gny large amount of supplies froth foreign countries. The announcement that the Ameri- can' Government is sending Admiral Kolchak a large quantity of shindies is taken in Russian circles la Paris to mean that the rnport of Ambassador Morrison on the Omsk Government was favorable.

Xt was stated at the steamship office that the ad.vance bad been decided on at the headquerters of the leritigh lines early this month, owing to in- creased cost of labor, crews and sup- plies for the passenger vestsele. 'the decision was reached in England end was later submitted to a meeting of the North _Atlantic conference, which includes practically every Atlantic line running between British and French, and American and Canachan Porte, when the increase was agreed to, with - the date at which, it should go into effect. It was stated by steamship officials of the various lines concerned here te-day that the there:used rates would only go a short distance in naeating the increased cost ot handling ship- loads of passengers, owing to Nate incidental to Strikes in various points on either side of the Atlantic, with the increased wages that had to be paid to crews, and the mounting ex- penses for food and other supplies. Incidental to this was the fact that the companies needed increased earn- ings, and, working together, agreed to charge the increased rates, Any pro- spective passengers who apply for accommodation to -morrow on any boats from Montreal, Boston, New York, or other American ports tor England or Prance, or from BrItish Or French ports to this side of the At- lantic, will have to face this increased charge, or stay at home, as no lines are using lower rates. The interep,se ,does not at present apply to rates for Mediterranean ports, but it is expected that the latter Will lose no time, in taking advantage of the opportunity to increase their rates in accordance with the increased earnings on the Straight Atlantic line. - 4 FRANCE KICKS ABOUT PERSIA Says Country a Virtual Bri- tish Protectorate And Fears Effect On Sy- rian Conditions. Paris Cable — The Anglo-Persion Treaty continues to be the topic of the deter in French and Peace Confer- ence circles, the French discussing especially the probable effect of the agreeirient upon French interests in Syria. . The Eche de Paris, which is credit- ed with tefleeting the views of the French Peace Delegation, publishes the full text of the Anglo -Persian agreement, and in its comment says: "If the above stipulations -do not constitute a most complete Protector- ate, then words have lost their mean- ing. Doubtless nowhere is a formal Protectorate mentioned, and doubt - lees a clause announces the independ- ence and full integrity of Persia, but the substance of the agreement will fool no one." . A strolog party in the French Cham- ber of Deputies is advocating the ex-. tension of °French infience in Syria. Hwy Franklin Boetilion has given notice to President Deschanel that he will interpellate the Government on the question when the Chamber meets again on Aete. 2¢ The French press does use the word "Protectorate" in connection with French influence In Syria. The papers argue that front time imme- modal France has had great intetests in Syria, aneclaim that untft such time as Syria is able to govern her- self France should be designated afford her such financial Willi as site needs to help her through her period of formation. Ict this connection the papers ate somewhat caustic in their eomment on the news that Prince Pelsal, son of the King of the Hedjaz, is returning to Paris to resume his *lase at the head o fthe Arab delegation. They print reports that the Prince is dila satisfied with the prospective Syrian settlement. "Let Great Britain Make a sign," says the Republique Francais, "and Prince Felsal will submit. France le not used to dealing with straw men. The Conference believes it Is ACCOM, plishing miracles he procrastinating 0.11d. in postponing the Settlement of difficulties, enstead of solving there immediately. Nothing embitters don - filets more than to leave there Ixt suspense." The Figaro says that the Angke Persian agreement is equivalent to a Protectortae in Persia, and quotee the Morning Post, of London, as saying: "Were we not concerned in this mat. ter, we should say this was a Pro- tectorate." 6 • SONNY'S POSER.
