Bushel an Acre Above the Average for 18 Years The Globe says: The estimate of the crops in Ontario for 1900, as prepared by the Bureau of Industries, is of the most satisfactory nature. In all standard grains the yield per acre is reported to as above the average for the past eighteen years, and with the exception of peas, which, owing to the ravages of the pea weevil, are not as largely cultivated as on the average for 18 years, the acreage of the various crops has either increased or remained about the same as last year. The yield of the various grains this year above the average per acre for 18 years is as follows : Fall wheat. l bushel; spring wheat, 2.; bfrley, 2.2; oats. 2; peas, 2; beans, 3.1 bush» e s. GRAIN IS GOOD. The bulletin issued by the department, based upon the reports of correspondents from all parts of the province. states that the yield of fall wheat is above the aver- age, notwithstanding the losses sustained by winter-killing on low and undrained land, and the grain has been harvested for the most part in excellent condition. the heads being large and well filled, and the grain plum with the straw bright and clean. It is free from rust or smut except in a few instances. The grain ripened somewhat unevenly, and in some parts was over-ripe when out and shelled when handling. A large proportion of the crop of spring wheat was unharvested when the returns were forwarded to the depart- ment, but the yield will be in excess of the average, and where the crop had been secured it was usually In good condition. In many neighborhoods drought is respon- sible for short and weak straw and damage by heavy rainstorms is reported from the eastern section of the province. Rust and smut are also reported in some localities. STRAY CATTLE.â€"Carne into premises of the undersigned. Lot 23. Con.

THE CROPS ARE GOOD IN THIS PROVINCE The yield of barley has as a rule been‘ good, and the crop has been generally secured in fairly good condition, the principal drawbacks noted being that the grain is in many places discolored owing to recent rains, while the straw is fre- quently short, slender and broken. Re- ports as to the quality of the berry are extremlly variable. SOME DAMAGE BY PESTS. As is the ease with other cereals this season the straw of the cat crop is gener- ally light and short. The quality of the grain is as a rule good, though the berry is small in some cases. Smut, rust and grasshoppers have done some injury in various localities, but from nearly every county the report is favorable. - 'Rep'orbs as- to the rye crop are almost uniformly favorable, and the yield per acre will be above the average and cenerally of good _q uali by. I Of late years peas have been a verv pre- carious crop on account of the destruction caused by the pea bug, or weevil. but when sown late in the season they appear to be very successful. Grass peas, which in some localities have been substituted for theiround pea, have yielded particularly well. The season has been a favorable one for beans, and reports from the localities in which they are grown are almost uniform- 1y_§gtis_fact.ory.‘ - . cw! The hav and clover crop is a variable one, and the general return will not be up "to the average. The drouth of last year and winter Killing are given as the chief causes of the light crop, some old meadows having suffered severely. The weather in most sections was “catchy" during haying and a considerable portion of the crop was in.]"ured_b§r the rain. - n :I Complaints were made of injury to the corn crop from worms Qand grubs, but, notwithstanding these attacks and the in- jury from crows, the prospects for corn are good at present except in the extreme eastern partof the province. A good yield of pocatoes is looked for, al- though the beetle has been present in unu- sually large numbers. Late planted vari- eties promise better than those put in earlier. . "Elf classes of roots at the time of report.- inggave prongise of bging 9f fair: qualiLy._ _.._,â€" Tie season had. on the whole, been a fair one for fruit. Winter apples are not bear- ing as abundantly as the early varieties. and plums are scarce, and the reports of pears very considerably, but all ocher fruits. largefindsmell, are abundant. _ Daii'y pibductions generally has been up to the mark. and butter, being scarce, brings a better price than usual. Generally speaking, there will be plenty of fodder for the winter.‘ “fiepnrts from the beekeepers estimate the average yield of honey at. between 35 and 40 pounds, spring count.
