Reports of an optimistic nature have been received during the past few days from no les than 32 agricultural represen• tatives in various districts throughout the province. Despite the fact some injury was caused by cold weather in the latter part of May and growth was retarded in sonic sections because of lack of moisture. the general theme of these reports reflects the promise of abundant crops in a gener- al way over the province. Recent rains have brought the meadows and pastures on rapidly. Alfalfa, clover and hay prom ise splendid crops in the majority of in- stances. Fall wheat is showing excellent growth in most localities. Livestock is showing rapid improvement since going on the grass. Early strawberries suffered by season of the early frost. but other fruits in most counties are in a satisfactory con- dition. Considering the vagaries of the weather during the past two months, the situation throughout Ontario is very en- couraging. On the invitation of Mr. E, Bender, the editor of The Standard and Mrs, El- liott motored on Sunday afterncon to Dashwood where Mrs. Bender had spent the past week with her daughter, Mrs. Version Schatz. From there, in company with Mrs. Bender, the party motored to Grand Bend and spent some hours view- ing this wonderful summer resort, where innumerable cottages are dotted among the trees, many of them affording a most picturesque view of the beech where hun- dreds of young folk, yes, and older folk too, were disporting themselves in the sand or the enticing waters of the bay. This was our first visit to the "Bend" and we were fortunate indeed in having such congenial companions as Mr, and Mrs. Bender who, by the way, own quite a commodious cottage, ideally situated, and front past residence there, are famil- iar with all the beauty spots that interest the visitor. The party returned hone in the evening, the editor at least, feeling that with these few hours of new environment, the cobwebs were lifted from our eyes and we were able to view life and nature ion a larger scale than is possible in our everyday hum drum of business activities, POULTRY Now is the time to cull your flocks.
