Many people in Winona have run out of their supply of water and have to have it hauled from the lake. The dry spell still continues and is doing a great deal of damage in the orchards. The plumorchards seem to be suffering most. Many of them are wilting and have turned yellow. The drought is also very serious with the tomato crop in this district. _ ‘ WATER SUPPLY J. W.

"Unless there is a good heavy rain within a week the peach and grape crops are going to be badly hit," statâ€" ed a prominent grower Monday. On account of the hot sun and prevailing drought, the peach outlook has alâ€" ready deteriorated twenty per cent. from the estimated crop of a month ago. Tomatoes in this area, at least, are practically ruined by black rot, due to dryness, and though a small ‘percentage might possibly be saved by rain, it is doubtful if even now this would be effective, it is said.

A belt on the threshing machine broke loose and caught the fork Mr. Konkle was using. The fork handle struck the man with considerable force, breaking his ribs. Police in the St. Catharines district are beginning a severe checkâ€"up of glaring and faulty lights on automoâ€" biles following a complaint from the Ontario Motor League. Threshing operations are in full swing over a wide area from the top of the Mountain as far south as Lake Erie. Owing to barn room being takâ€" ‘en up with fodder crops many farmers are threshing their grain in the fields. The oat crop in most districts in the ‘peninsula is a bumper one. jOfficials of the Grape Growers‘ asâ€" sociation in this district are of the opâ€" inion that the liquor board‘s estimate of a reduction of 20 per cent. in the sale of wines the last year is hardly a correct one, and that the falling off, ; even due to beer sales, would not be more than two and half per cent. ‘ The Week‘s Nefirs of The Surrounding District GRASSIE BEAMSVILLE THE INDEPENDEI _ Mr. Pearson keeps about 100 sheep and has been bothered with dogs, so ‘he set a new style of trap that catâ€" ches them alive.

An energetic committee under Chairman L. McCoombs was in charge of all arâ€" rangemefits and the affair was the bigâ€" gest of *s kind ever held in this disâ€" trict. A,{‘ full sports programme was plannedlwhile a garden party, includâ€" ing a band concert and vaudeville enâ€" tertainment was held in the evening. The guest speaker for the occasion was Hon. A. W.

Noy,‘ that the ~fruitâ€"growers have had as. chance to appraise the damage done to their crops by the high wind that reached almost cyclonic proporâ€" tions in these parts the early part of ‘last week ,they find that pears have suffered perhaps more than any other kind of fruit. In many pear orchards the ground is literally covered with fruit, some of the later ripening varieâ€" ties being blown off to such an extent that few remain on the trees. Bartâ€" letts also came down in great quantiâ€" ties, which will be a total loss, as they are not matured enough to ripen off the tree. Plums and apples also caught the full force of the wind, the ground being littered with them in some parts.. Happily the peaches did not suffer so much, the free stone varieâ€" ties not being far enough advanced to blow off easily, although broken branches and even uprooted trees are to be seen in some orchards. The condition is fairly general throughâ€" out the peninsula, while harvesting operations in other parts of Ontario are being held up on account of conâ€" tinuemJ n. * the escape of the captive.

Michael Procyshyn returned home Sunday after a two weeks‘ visit in Orillia with Mr. and Mrs. N. Penley. The dog that was caught was a tagâ€" less collie. Had it been wearing a tag the owner would have been easily identified and would have to settle for the damages done to the flock. Sevâ€" eral township councillors when spoken to regarding this type of trap, said they hoped it would come into general use among ‘sheep breeders, as they felt something of this nature was reâ€" quired to rid the country of useless, marauding dogs. | _ THIRTY MOUNTAIN | SMITHVILLE FRUITLAND Mrs. Tacey Weinweber, of Buffalo, spent last week visiting friends here.

The green or green and red lHight from the clouds will thus affect the film, while practically no light from the sky will get through to it, and in the finished print, the clouds will Appear whiter than the sky. This then, suggests a way to effecâ€" tively show clouds and sky in a snapshot. We must use a film which will respond to green, or to green and red light, and put over the lens Mr. and Mrs. Roy Troup have reâ€" turned, from a motor trip to Northern Ontario, and while there went to Calâ€" lander and saw the famous Dionne quintuplets. ; Although clouds and blue sky are both rich in ultraâ€"violet, violet and blue, there is a marked difference between the two. The lights from the clouds, being white, actually contain, however, a lot of green and red light, while that from the blue sky does not. The shuffle board tournament, at which prizes and the challenge cups were competed for, was held Wednesâ€" day at 8 o‘clock. a picture and use afilm which reâ€" sponds only to ultraâ€"violet, violet, and blues light. We should not be able to distinguish between the clouds and sky if we give enough exposure to show detail in the landâ€" scape. This is because the light from the blue sky and the white clouds is very rich in light rays to which the film responds. Twenty girls and boys took part in the junior jitney at the shuffle board courts on Monday evening. The prize winners were Mary Elliott, Lois Busâ€" kard, James Gillespie and Don Pearâ€" cy. Mrs. Harriet Smith presented the prizes. +« On Tuesday evening the six courts were filled in the senior jitney. The prize’winners were Mrs. Dancy, Mrs. Pierce, J. Starr, Mrs. Nelson, C. Bell, Mrs. Buskard and Gordon Purvis. One thing that really adds to the interest in a landscape picture is clouds. Suppose we are taking such IT seems that too often we forget all about the fleecy white clouds, which add so much to the attracâ€" tiveness and beauty of & snapshot. The average amateur will put forth great effort to secure sharpness, contrast and good composition in his ground subject and then comâ€" pletely overlook the possibilities of beautiful cloud effects. Sunday morning Ernest Braund, South Grimsby township, reported two ‘of his spring lambs had ~been worried by dogs. He found them in the Twenty creek.

JORDAN STATION GRIMSBY BEACH eSNAPSHOT CUIL CLOUD PICTURES } If you do not want to seriously consider filter "factors" there is a filter known as a Sky Filter used extensively by amateurs to photoâ€" graph clouds in a landscape with no increase in exposure time. Half of this filter is yellow and the other half clear. This filter can be used without increasing the exposure beâ€" cause the sky is photographed through the yellow part while the landscape, or general subject is photographed through the lower half, which is not colored. Yes, you can even get clouds with a silver lining. 6 As you will no doubt surmise, there are various types of filters and each type has its limitations. In choosing a filter you must make your own decision based on your general requirements. From time to time you have perâ€" haps heard of "filter factors". Here‘s what it means. Since the filter cuts out some of the light which would otherwise affect the film, a longer exposure must be given. The amount by which the exposure must be inâ€" creased is known as the "factor" of the filter. It is noted by the number of times the exposure must be inâ€" creased when using a color filter, as compared with the exposure withâ€" out one. The deeper the yellow color in the filter the more violet and blue it removes, or "holds back". The greater the "factor" the more the exposure must be increased. chromatic film will respond to both green and red light. All these films will, therefore, show up the clonuds against the sky if used with a yelâ€" low filter. Mr. M. Merritt, D. Darker, Mrs. Nelâ€" ’son, Mrs. Bradt and Mrs. Jacobs.
