Bureau of Agricultural Economics. the will next are cor- suys In Huron County, fall wheat prom- 'ses an .excellent y|eld, although there is some lodging and damage by Hessian Fly. Alfalfa and mix ed hay will be good crops in that county. Ninety pel', cent, of the wheat crop in North ’Simcoe is first- class. Ten thousand acres of buck wheat were sown in Wellington Co. the last two weeks in June and the first week in July. Cutting of fall wheat has been general in Essex. Heavy rain and wind hurt the .fall wheat fields in Hqldimand, The new egg-grading regulations are re* ported to be working well in# that county. Rains over most of Ontar io in the early part of July brought needed moisture and spring crops are coming along rapidly. In Ren frew1 rCounty alfalfa, .clover and crops are yielding only half of year. Reports from Northern, tario are optimistic, Canada. France supplied nearly half the total. There is no reason why Ontario should not'capture part of this, export trade. Past*experience has shown that special care is r&j quired in growing, packing and transporting Ontario plums ’tp en sure the fruit arriving in' the Unit ed Kingdom in good condition. They must be selected for maturity and strictly packed according to recog nized standards. Therefore< plums for export should be handled thro’ central packing houses in nlose ■proximity to cold storage facilities where the fruit can be properly packed, precooled and shipped un der refrigeration to seaboard. The British market is exacting in its de mand for only good-sized plums. Blums for export should be picked) padked and pre-cooled in one day’ Special shipping arrangements are absolutely essential for plums, ac cording to Mr. Fulton, who sees a bright future for this exporOrade if properly-handled. misfortune to have his leg by a heavy branch. while in the bush last week.

"Farmers appreciate the protec tion offered them by this system against 'irregularities practised 'by some truckers,” continued Mr. Dun can, "and most reliable truckers support the system, as it saves time and protects thme from unfair com petition. Weekly records show the use of bills of lading is increasing steadily. Minister’s Report The report of the Minister of Agriculture for the year 1931 has been issued. It starts with a fore word by the Minister in which he reviews the outstanding accomplish ments of that year Jn an agricultur al way. These include the creation of the Ontario Marketing Board in • May, 1931, which has given leader ship in the marketing of farm pro ducts,' especially those of the dairy live stock, fruit and vegetable in dustries. A survey of cold storage requirements was made and assis tance given to the erection of six new cold storage warehouses at points in the province. These facil ities were of unusual service be cause of the long hot season last year. A ten-year cold storage pro gram embracing the needs of all branches of agriculture is in course of preparation. One of the bright est spots remarks the Minister was the Junior Extension work among boys and girls. Stress is also laid upon the marked improvement in quality of live stock owned by On tario farmers as a result' of the premium granted on stallions com ing up to certain high standards; the bonus system on the purchase of pure-bred bulls and high-grade rams, and the organization of Ba con Hog Clubs. Increasing num bers of farmers are taking advan tage of the assistance offered them. The report gives a comprehensive review of the activities of the var ious departmental branches and the work done at the Ontario Agricul tural College, MacDonald Institute, the Ontario Veterinary College and the Kemptvllle Agricultural School. Attendance of students at there in stitutions has surpassed all previous records. Anyone interested in any, particular branch or the Depart ment work can secure a copy of Wellington County Report The Wellington County Live Stock Improvement Association aims to make Wellington County one of the best live stock breeding centres in Canada and already 95 per cent, of all the sires in Wellington are purebred, including1 1,000 pure bred bulls, 2,000 pure bred rams, 3 00 pure bred boars, and *50 pure bred stallions. Wellington County now has 51 accredited ‘ herds, including 24 Hol- steins, 18 Shorthorns. 4 Ayrshires, 1 Jersey and 4 Angus. Wellington’s 100,000 acres of hay for next winter's roughage will he worth about $1 a ton less for feed ing value on' account of the ’continu ed rains holding back the haying and allowing the protein to turn to fibre in the standing crop. Hundreds of acres of alfalfa that should have been in the barn before the wet weather sstarted remained uncut un til the second week in July. Hundreds of city people are flock ing to Wellington County farms- and old empty houses in the country are being re-occupied. At least married couples must have come Arthur Village alone during past twelve months and they seem to get something to do, even although their income is a very meagre.

Peart, Chief of the Markets Division, Dominion Seed Branch, has just returned from a trip thro’ some of the principal alsiike and red clover producing districts in Ontar io and reports that seed production prospects for these two crops ap peal’ poor. . Generally speaking red clover did not winter well owing to insufficient snow cover and really good stands ous. This prospect of ver seed crop, taken in conjuction with the realtively small amount of 'the 1931 crop "carried over, may mean a strong domestic demand for Canadian grown red clover seed* for sowing next spring, and those fann ers Who are fortunate jn having good stands on fields reasonably free from weeds should leave the second cut for seed rather than use it for pasture. As for alsike, the consensus of opinion is that the total acreage in Ontario this year is about forty per cent, less than last year so that un less the yeld per acre is heavy there will likely be much less alsike threshed than even last year, when the total yield was much below nor mal. " Good quality alsik&'is expected to be in fair demand for export to the United Kingdom this year. A. J. CLATWORTHY Phone 12 GRAN’Toixl ONTARIO Plums For Britain The ten per cent, tariff which went into effect March 1st 1932, on foreign plums entering the United Kingdom, offers a splendid, opport unity To the Ontario plum industry to develop this potential export out let, according to Andrew Fulton, overseas fruit representative. -Since Canada is the only source of over seas supplies to |ake the ©lace of foreign imports, it ts necessary to looik to Ontario for this fruit. In 1930 the United Kingdom imported’’ 44 million pounds, which is more than twice the annual production in Suffered A Severe Attack Of Dysentery Mr. P. L, D.
