They say it would pay is any locality to
have an expert to locate and find oat the
proper grade for drains. The wonder is
that more farmers did not attend the
demonstration. They report seeing
many good fields of oats in their travel
and also Saw an excellent crop of weeds
on the roadside. Farmers living near
the town have the most weeds is front
of their farms. Probably they make
too many visits to town to have time to
oat weedy. There Bhoatd ba some means
whereby weeds Bluetit be oat.

FIELD CROPS IN CANADA.
The Census Baltetin sho that the
conditions of field crops is Canada this
year have been greatly modified by
temperature and rainfall, and that be-
tween the East and the West it is hardly
possible to make a statement of averages
that will not be misleading. In the
eastern provisoes growth has boon nal,-
formly good throaghont July, and the
percentages of condition have been high
for every crop; but in extensive tracts of
the northwest provinoes dronth has
prevailed and crops are reported in
every stage of oondition. The northerly
parts of these provinces have been large-
ly exempt from the dronth, and there
the percent oondittons are high. It is
difficult to iadicate fairly an average of
conditions for the East and West which
does not take account of the areas sown,
and these have been considerably re•
dnoed since the Jane report. The Ang•
last report will give revised figures from
which yields may be estimated.
In comparing the percent condition of
crops for 1909 and 1910 it should ba re-
membered that fall wheat, rye, peas,
buckwheat, mixed grains, brans, pota-
toes, hay, clover and corn are priooi-
Pally produced in the eastern provinces;
and opting wheat and flex mostly in the
northwestern provisoes; with oats and
barley in nearly equal proportions in the
two regions.
Fall wheat vis grown chiefly in On-
tario, and its condition for all Canada
has been reduced by a relatively poor
crop in Alberta. Compared with the
condition at thea the time last year, it 1
is 84.63 to 7.6,53. Rye is 85.20 in 1910 to
81 84 in 1909; peas is 81 70 to 87, buck•
wheat 87 64 to 86 15, mixed grains 09 91
to 87 23, beans 84.43 to 84 33, potatoes
81 to 92, hay and plover 90.87 to 73 79,
Dorn for hacking 84.30 to S3.86 and corn i
for fodder 89 76 to 83. These crops,
£blob ora mnialy grown in the East,
show a high average of condition, affect-
ed only in a slight degree by reports for
the West.
The average caaditibn of spring wheat
is 77 far 1910 to 81.57 for 1919, and of
oats 79 57 to 87,78 for all Canada, which
is enbatantially lower than the averages
for the East. Ia the three Northwest
provinces tae the Gondii
on of spring g wheat
is (12, of oats 58 62 end of barley 63.60.
The estimated yield of fall wheat in
the country is 18,724,000 bushels, being
26 47 bush lei

GRAND TRUNK SURPLUS.
The Grand Trunk Railway gross re-

321,600; the working expenses inoluding
a redaction 01 £120,000 in the engine -oar
renewal expense amount to £3,45(3,000,
and net receipts to 2365,600. After
meeting revenue charges, deducting de
fioienoes on the working of the Canada ,
Atiantio and the Detroit ee Grand Hav-
en, there is a surplus of £347,200, This
with £11,800 brought forward, enables
the comeany to pay the fall dividends.
on the four per °ens. g1trensead firs,
and second preferred stock for the year, '
with £12,000 carried forwarl, The
Great Western, with the balance carried
forward, shows a surplus enflitient to
meet the interest on the first mortgage
bonds, leaving 217,209 to be parried for-
ward. O: the snapease account there
shonld now remain only 277,000 to be
wiped out during the current half year.
During the second half of the last year
£260,000 .of revenue absorbed this ac
oottnt, and the difference of £ 183,000 in
favor of the oarreat period should go a
long way toward counteracting the
strike loss and higher wages.
A Tender -Hearted Maid.
Once upon a time there lived a child
of gentle mien and manners mild; she
was so tender and so kind she wept to'
see a window blind. She feared it gave
the window pain to leave is standing in
the rain. Her maiden aunty she would
beg not to stone raisins, beat an egg,
or from potatoes take the eyes. 0 h
how this maid did agonize t And when
she saw her aunt whip cream, with
horror she woald sob and soreom. The
very thought of killiag time appeared to
her a drealfal crime; and, though to
mnaio she inclined, to beat a measure
seemed unkind. To see the cowslip by
the river with apprehension made her
shiver; to cat a page or turn it down
world cause a depreoating ftown. And•
when she saw them shivering in the chill
autumn air she knitted stookingsfor the
trees because their Limbs were bare. Her
heart so oft with augnish wrung caused
this poor maid to die quite yonog.
