CROPS ARE SATISFACTORY.
ritarvest Promises to Be Up to Aver-
age of Past Four Years.
A despateh from Ottawa says In
a bulletin issued by the Census and
St,atisties Office preliminary esti-
mates are giveo of the areas of. the
principal grain crops' in Canada., as
well as reports on their oonditi'on,
• according to returns made by the
c'orrespendents on Tune 1. The re-
rts Show atha,t throu• ghout the
Maritime, Proviamee aeeding was de-
layed through the lateness of the
spring. In Ontario and Quebec the
condition of grain is generally sat -
iefactory, notwithstanding a, long
spell of dry weather. In many
placea, however, tht meadows were
beginning to suffer from the effeots
of drought. Conditione,thronghout
the West were reported as gener-
ally favorable, though roans would
be welcome, espe.bia.11y. in 3/lanitoba
and Southern Alberta,. .
On June 1 the Caindition of field
Crops, as measured by a standard
in which 100 represents the promise
of a, full erop, was very favorable.
The points are as follows: Fall
wheat, 79; spring wheat, 93; all
wheat,' 91; oats and barley, 92 ;rye,
89; peas, 92; mixed grains, 93; hay
andolover, 90; alfalfa, 88; and pa,s-

ASsuraing that the eonditions be-
tween • now mid harvest willabe
equal•to the average of the •Past

Pereen.tages represent the promise
of yields equal to the four-year

case of oats by one per ent., and
in the ease of fall wheat by two per

The task of readjurttiog the repre-

Of Commons and .the provisions of
the British. North American Act, on
a, basis not open to just, criticism;
has naturally been a difficult one;

struction; and the provision which
has been made for necessary assis-
tance to those great national enter-
prises will, I trust, not only ensure
their early completion, but, result
in distinct and Marked benefit to all
portions of the Dominion. -
The difficult question of provid-
ing a' syetent of naturalization
whereby the status ol British .ciei-
zenship thus acquired ,shall be re-
cognized by law in all parts of the
Erripire has for Marty years engaged
the attention of the Governments
of the Mother Country and,
of all the self-governing dominions..
The measure which has heempassed
for that purpose by tho Parliament
of Canada 404, Nolo11 will find is
complement in legislation paSacd by
the Imperial Parliament and by the
Pp:lit:ow* the other dominions,
contributes to a great, result typo:a

for ensuring in the future the, safety
