Score 13 to 4 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO TAKE OUT LICENSE The Canadian apple crop for 1928 is estimated to yield 2,938,970 barrels, an increase of four per cent. Nearly half the total is produced in British Colunâ€" The crop report issued by the Canâ€" adian Government Bureau of Statistics is based upon the returns of numerous crop correspondents, including practiâ€" cal farmers, throughout Canada and bank and elevator managers and railâ€" way agents in the different provinces. Of this year‘s total wheat crop, estiâ€" mated at 550,482,000 bushels the three prairie provincesâ€"Manitoba, Saskatâ€" chewan and Albertaâ€"produced 527,â€" 332,000 bushels or over 95 per cent. The yields of the different grains in these three provinces were:â€" Manitoba: Wheat, 56,395,00; oats, 55,1711,000; barley, 53,468,000; rye, 23,â€" 444,000; flaxseed, 937,500. Saskatchewan: Wheat, 300,641,000; oats, 153,428,000; barley, 49,455,000; rye, 9,139,000; filaxseed, 3,074,000. 9,139,000; filaxseed, 3,074,000. Alberta: Wheat, 170,296,000; oats, 102,035,000;: barley, 18,166,000; rye, 3,â€" 735,000; flaxseed, 61,000. But wheat is not the only bumper crop this year. Barley gives a record yield with 144,875,000 bushels from 4,â€" 879,588 acres, compared with the preâ€" vious highest output in 1926 of about 000,000 bushels. This year‘s oats crop is estimated at 474,242,000 bushels, which exceeds the average of recent years. The area sown to wheat this year in Canada is also the largest on record, being 24,114,846 acres or 1,634,692 acres more than in 1927 and 2,228,700 acres more than in the 1923 wheat acreage. With a total wheat yield estimated by the Canadian Government Bureau of Statistics at 550,482,000 bushels, Caâ€" nada is this year harvesting the largâ€" ést crop in the history of the country. This is the first time the wheat crop has passed the half million bushel mark. The previous record crop was in 1923 when 474,199,000 bushels were garnered. The average yield in that year was 21.7 bushels per acre. This year the average yield is estimated at 22.8 bushels per acre compared with 19.5 last year. The record average yield of wheat per acre was in 1915 when it was 26 bushels. The study of hayâ€"fever plants is not so complicated as it seems, however, Mr. Wodehouse explains, since the number in any locality is restricted andâ€"allâ€" are weedy plants bearing inâ€" conspicuous flowers that produce large quantities of light, air borne pollen. Thier importance is a matter of abunâ€" dance and distribution. THIS YEAR‘S WHEAT CROPS GREATEST IN CANADIAN HISTORY Besides the ragweeds, there are many kinds of plants that can cause hayâ€" fever, They fall, however, into three definite biologic groups; the sageâ€" brushes, the chenopods and the amarâ€" anths. Chenopods include the Russian thistle, regarded in the West as one of the worst of all hayâ€"fever plants; salt bushesâ€"and the common greaseâ€" wooa. Among the amaranths are westâ€" ern water hemp, red root pigweed and careless weed. The eastern types of ragweed have their counterparts in the west. The western . ragweed is very similar to the common eastern plant but it springs each year from the same roots, while the eastern variety comes from seed. The western giant ragweed is almost entirely confined to the southwestern states. It differs from the eastern giant only in its tendency to branch higher above the ground. | VAAW _ R In the eastern states are the common | Mon dwarf ragweed and the giant ragweed, c ns which grews to a height of 12 or 13 to .W feet. _ An interesting feature is thatJTh;m they flower each year at precisely the ! same time, independent of weather| . alls conditions. This phenomenon explains iwo. why the hayâ€"fever victim begins to | ut ; suffer at the same time each year, alâ€"| conts most to a day. en L. 2 Goldenrod has long been blamed for late summer hayâ€"fever but the indictâ€" ment is justified only by the coinciâ€" dence in time, asserts R. P. Wodehouse in the September issue of Hygeia. *Not the gorgeous goldenrod and sunâ€" flowers of September, but the lowly ragweeds that grow beside and below them are the causes of the discomfort and misery of hayâ€"fever sufferers. Nearly sixty varieties of ragweed shed enormotus amounts of pollen capable of being carriéd long distances by light winds. EXPLANATION GIVEN CAUSE ~OF HAYâ€"FEVER The late Mr. McLeod, who lived at 55 Mons avenue, was a native of Nova Scotia and was 37 years of age at the time of his death. He is survived by a widow and one child, to whom the sinâ€" cerest sympathy will go out. The remains are being taken this week to Glencog Mills, Nova Scotia, for interment. An inquest will be conducted this week as required by the Mining Act. Duncan McLeod, popular resident of Timmins for about six years past, and well known in the district, met death yesterday while at work at the Holâ€" linger. He drilled into a missed hole apparently and was killed instantly by the resulting explosion. His skull, face and ribs were badly injured by the rock and the steel thrown back against sad Accident This Week at Hollinger When Missed Hole is Struck by Drill.

Alec then told his life history. ’After leaving Mattawa, he went to 'New York, later travelling throughout | the United States as a prospector. In | Montana he staked several claims, but Canada beckoned to him and he went ’to Winnipeg. In 1914 he travelled to ,Timmins. when he staked two claims, as the Metagami and Sandy . _*% * .“. .0 #, ...“ # + *4 *# # #4 *# © *4 * + *4 # # #4 * *4 + + #4 * + #4 # 4 #4 * «4 *4 # 4# *4 # ## # # #4 # € #4 * # #4 + #4 + # *4 # # #4 * 4 *4 4 #4 # 4 #4 *# ¢ #4 + # 44 # # *4 # # *4 4 *# #4 # #© $# *# La *4 # #© #4 # #4 ® *# ¢#4 *# # *4 # * #* # #4 + h #4 # 4# ## # #% #4 ¢ #4 * *# #4 + # *# * ht *4 L *4 # % *+ @ 4 #* # * #4 *# + *4 *# #4 # # ## #@ .‘0 Falls Mines. After working these for two years by hand, he left them idle, but is still confident that the claims contain a wealth of ore. If he could get the financial aid, he told The Nuszâ€" get, he would begin operations again. Three years ago he went to Rouyn as a prospector for the Whiteâ€"Montgoâ€" mery Syndicate, and staked a claim eight miles north of Rouyn, which is very promising. Hired as a prospecâ€" tor for C. Lapierre, he staked the Laâ€" pierre and Company Mines, which is also valuable property. During his career the prospector was never lost. "Alec Seguin, a prospector of more than 70 years, left his home at Matâ€" tawa in 1888 and did not hear from members of the family until a year ago, when James Larocque of the Princess Theatre, Rouyn, informed him that his brother lived in North Bay. The old prospector could not believe it and let the matter drop. Again this month, the aged prospector was told of his brother, John Seguin, by a man named Frank Menard now of Rouyn, but formerly of North Bay. This time, convinced that his brother might still be living, he asked Mr. Menard to write to the North Bay man. The letter was mailed Sept. 11, and when John Seguin received it on Sept. 14, he, too, scarcely believed that his brother was still living, having not heard from him for 40 years. Mrs. Seguin, however, convinced her ijiusâ€" band to make the trip to Rouyn, and when he arrived there he was greeted by his brother. The reâ€"union ofâ€"a former resident of this camp with his relatives from whom he had not heard for forty years, is thus told by The North Bay Nugget this week:â€" Former Resident of This Camp Meets Relatives After Being Away From Home Since 1888 OUT OF TOUGH WITH MB FAMILY FOR FORTY YEARS ‘"Mr. Seguin wants to go back to the To carry on same business as in the past, Sewing Machines, Pianos, Phonographs and Electric Washers.

Robert Jowsey, mining man, of Toâ€" ronto, has taken a 60â€"day option on the claims on which the find was made and since then he has added other adâ€" joining claims until now there are 30 claims in the group held. i news of the most spectacular gold showings yet seen in that rich district. For some days past there has been whispered rumours of the notable disâ€" covery and this week confirmation is given to the stories with the addition that it seems to be admitted that the original whispers put the matter too mildly. The scene of the exciting disâ€" covery is at Lost Bay on Clearwater Lake. The claims are about eight mileés southâ€"east of the Jacksonâ€"Manâ€" ion Mine, and form part of a group formerly under option to the Coniagas. One report in regard to the big find says:â€""Early exploration disclosed a great dome running strongly to quarts and having a length of 700 feet by at least 300 feet as so far explored.. The early work missed the main fracture through this dome and it is in this fracture which completely eclipses the famous "golden stairs‘"‘ about which so much was written in the early days of Dome Mines of Porcupine. The high grade fracture itself appears to have important width and length, preliminâ€" ary work having shown very rich ore across a width of 14 feet and traced over a length of 200 feet in the heart of the big dome. Not sufficient work has been done to present . definite figures as to width and length of the higher grade showings."
