Summary of Crop Conditions - The grain harvest was completed early in Old Ontario this season under ideal weather conditions and threshing operations have proceeded satisfactorily. The production of the principal grain crops in Ontario will be somewhat higher than estimated earlier in the season, but still con- siderably below normal. The total production of grain is about twenty million bushels, or 14%, less than in 1940. Pastures aro very poor in wes- tern Ontario and milk flow ]las de- clined somewhat although farmers are feeding grain and green corn to supplement thein. Recent rains have resulted in some improvement. Late crops show considerable variation in prospects. Dry beau yields will be variable with the average yield esti- mated at 10.5 bushels per acre ae eoutpared with 14.0 bushels in 1940 and 21.4 bushels in 1939. Some of the earlier planted fields suffered be- cause of exceedingly dry weather at Podding lime. The buckwheat crop is short and gives promise of a below average crop in Central. and Western Ontario. In practically all of the counties of 01d Ontario the condition of new seedings of hay and clover is poor, with ninny fields almost a com- plete failure and others thin owing to the prolonged dry spell. Recent rains may improve the stands but a large number of old hay fields will have to be carried aver. Present re- ports indicate that 111e acreage to he seeded to fall wheat this season will be considerably greater than the small acreage sown last year. es PRICES START AT $6.55 (30 x 3t/2) AN EXTRA VALUE BUY AT A ROCK -BOTTOM.
