Toronto, Aug. 19. -Tho following report concerning the crops of the Province has been issued by the On- tario Department of Agriculture, and deals with conditions as described by regular correspondents of the Bureau of industries under date of the ist of August. It is based on the returns of over 2,000 correspondents: Fan wheat, Reflections of a Bachelor. Froin the New York Press.

Much of the fall wheat just har- vested was sown a week or two later than usual, owing to the rainy wea- ther prevailing in the early part of last fall, but this does not seem to have had any bad effect upon the general character of the crop. There was but little injury by winter -kill- ing, and very little was plowed up in the spring. April was not favor- able to the growth of the young wheat, but during the summer the crop picked up to such an extent that it turned out to be one of the best crops yet recorded in the Province, Whsle many farmers were undoubted - both as to yield and quality.

Comparatively little rye is now raised for the grain, much of that which is sown being Dither cut green or plowed under. The crop has been a most uneven one this season, both as to yield and quality. The season of harvesting rye ranged from the middle to the end of July. Peas. It is difficult to sum up the exact situation regarding peas, owing to the 'fact that for the past two or three years• the flat or grass nea has been largely substituted for the conn - mon round field pea on account of the depredations of the pea weevil or "bug," and that this year a number. of farmers have returned to the lat- ter variety. While complaints are yet ,too frequent concerning the pre- sence of the weevil, it would seem as if peas have been comparatively suer cessful where grown, some correspon dents, indeed, being quite enthusias- tic over the prospects of the crop. There has also been a great growth of straw owing to frequent rains, but some mildew is reported. Some early fancy peas have boon already cut, but ordinary field peas were not expected to be harvested for a Week or two, While the acreage of peas is still small compared with that of a foto years ago, the general outlook for the crop is more encouraging than for the past two years. nexus.

Considerable scab has been reported where the trees were not sprayed, but complaints have been less than usual concerning wormy fruit. Blight among apple trees is reported in several districts. While a few correspondents speak well of the prospects for pears, most of the returns do not favor a large, or even an average yield. Plums, however, have had a most favorable season for bearing, and where sprayed have yielded generously, but where neglect- ed much injury was wrought by the • turculio causing young fruit to drop front the tree. A' few connplaints have also been received of plums rotting. In most quarters where grown, peaches are yielding well, more especially the later varieties.
