TWENTY-EIGHTH YEAR EXETER, ONTARIO, THURSDAY, JUNE 22 416 tsAZFDE>frtS & tatIECt 0000. Our Corner. Nineteen -sixteen will certainly go down an the agricultural history et Ontario as an 'exceptional trying year for Ontario farmers. The difficulties and- delays in spring grain seeding, owing to excessive rain fall, have been followed +by equally unfavorable con- ditions for root and corn seeding, etiThere corn was ;planted at the usual time, •an railing land, tempestuousrain storms base seamed the surface and washed out part of the seed. On comparatively low and level land, the ground has been too wet to get the seed in. Spray has, too, been attend, with ditticulties. The marvellously rapid opening of bloom at the last made it impossible in many eases to get the second spraying done within the time limit :allowed, and in the third spraying one had to jumpp in be- tween showers, and jump mighty quick at that But there are compensations. Nev- er before has there been more vigor- ous foliage on orchards at this sea- sarl. 'Meadows are also making won- derful progress, and if we only have favorable weather for haying there will be something like a reeord hay crop for the province In all other lines, save ,corn and fruit, yield are bound to be away below the aver- age. In ,corn there is still time for tba planting and making of .i crop, end if the "set" .now on the trees; efelnes to well finished maturity, there will be more fruit than growers will lrtow what to do with.
