For thls, 1/25 at f,16 (or the large lens opening on a box camera). If subject faces sun, or for a "long -shot" beach view, use f.22 or the small lens opening on a box camera), 'e /eANY writers make a groat to-do IVs about exposure, so that it seems complicated. As a matter of fact, for most ordinary subjects out of doors, itis shnple. Light in very early morning or late afternoon is quite weak, but from an hour or so after sunrise to about an hour before sunset, it is fairly constant in its intensity, Dur- ing the middle daylight hours, cam- era loaded with chrome typo or "pan" type film, set your lens and shutter as follows: BRILLIANT DAY Average subject, 1/25 second and 2.11 lens opening. Open landscape, 1/25, 0.16. Water or beach scenes, 1/26, 0,22. CLOUDY BRIGHT DAY Averago subject, 1/26, f,8, Open landscape, 1/26, 1,11. Water or beach scenes, 1/26, 1,16. DULL DAY ArteraR0 subioot, 1420, 2,0,0. Open landscape, 1/25, 1,5. Water or beach scones, 1/25, LS. When you must use a high shutter speed, use a larger lens opening. Re- member that 1/25 second at f,11 is the sante as 1/50 at 1.8, and about the same as 1/100 at f,6,8 or 1/200 at 1,4,5. Follow those exposures this spring and summer, and Yctt won't go wrong. If you use a box camera, take snapshots on bright days only. On a dull day, place the box camera on a firm support and give 0 very short time exposure (ono-lutlf to ono see. oncl, or about as fast as you can work the shutter when on "Tinge") using the small lens opening. With any camera, when you are taking pictures shortly after sunrise or before sunset, you must use a larger lens opening, 05 a slower shutter speed. At. such times, light tends to bo yellow anti the "pall" type film will be beet as it Is defi- nitely faster in site -Might. 190 ,Tolnll. Vail Gender Crop Condition Summary Reports are now available front a large number of regular cor- respondents giving an outline of farm conditions at the beginning of May.

As a result, at, the end of April almost 50 per cent of the :intended acreage of spring grains had 1beeu seeded in the province, In the more southerly counties, of course, the work was much .more advanced than in East- ern and Northern Ontario where cpel'auions only got under way the first of May. In southern Ontario eonlpsseng the ,two rows' of coun- ties bordering Lake Erie, 80 of the spring grain seeding was re- ported finished. by April 30th, Ae this same date about 60;0 of :he seeding was completed in West- ern Outauio, approximately In Central Ontario, but only See in pastern Ontario and 2't': in Northern Ontario, work tltise season is from two to three weeks' earlier than in the two preview. years, In 1037 at the end of April for the entire province, only about 4% of the spring grain seeding was completed, and in 1936 about S'; .
