An adjoorment was Eben made to the driving park where addressee were delivered by Prof. Mille and H. Cargill, M. P. for Wont Brno. Mr. Mille said that for Boma years he had investigated the beet auger industry as applied to Canada. He had visited Michigan, where he had made an exhaustive investi- gation of the conditions in that State, and comparing them with Ontario he firmly believed that the comparison was exceed• ingly favorable to this Province, and profitable to maoufaotorere and farmers alike. While the beets of Michigan averaged only abodt 12 per cent of sugar, those grown in this enation of the Province averaged over 15 per sent„ with a much larger yield to the care. He complimented the Canadian farmers on their industry and their thrift, and declared that they ranked the highest in their calling of any in the world.

From all parte of the Provinoe reporte indioate that the germination has been perfect, and that wherever the seed wad mudded in and farmers had difficulty in drawing seeders off the fields, the pros- pects are enrprieiug. Farmers have done their work sue well as could be expeoted wader the conditions, and from past ex. perianoo it ie only natural to expect a good harvest. Grass, kite grain orope, has made re. markable progress under prevailing favor. able influences, and pastures are in the finest possible condition. Hay meadows. are now flooded, and if they dry aufli- oleetly by haying time the prop will be equal to that of last year in quantity and edperiar in quality. Correepondonte are nnanfmoue in their reporte that all kinds of live stook are in prime dondition. The abundance of fodder, of all kinds and ooaree grains have allowed farmers to feed liberally. The only unfavorable reports are to the effeot that the nold Web 8priog and heavy work of ending hae somewhat reduced theoonditioa of home.
