Various Provinces GENERAL Harvesting has begun at some points in the Prairie Provinces. In Manitola crop prospects generally are promising and they continue to be satisfactory in the Westâ€"Central areasg of Alberta and the Northâ€"Central and Eastern districts of Saskatchewan. Rains; have improved conditions in Northâ€"Westâ€" ern Saskatchewan. Prospects are now less favourable in Southâ€"Western Alâ€" berta. In the Peace River district yields will be light. Sugar beets are progressing s@tisfactorily. In thes proâ€" vince of Quebec, centinuance of warm, dry weather has been ‘benificiar to all crops and, with the exception of fruits, average yields are in prospect.

Thse digging of early potaâ€" toes has commenced in New Brunsâ€" wick and Nova Scotia, with yislds beâ€" low average; rust is affecting the latâ€" er varieties in some districts. In Prince Edward Island, a good yield of potatoes is in prospect. Other roots show satisfactory growth. The apple crop will bae the lightest in years and the yield of other fruits only fair.
