THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1929" AGE 'Tomorrow the Last Shopping Day Before Schools e-Ope CROP REPORTS OF ONTARI0 COUNTY (Continued from Page 3) tording to districts. In some the srop hae been light and in others well up to the average, but It has not shown up to such good advan- tage as the fall wheat. Buckwheat, up to the present, promises to give an excellent yield. Peas, however, has been a total failure in mest places. Potatoes and other root crops, on the whole, have been very good, turnips and mangel8 having shown splendid growth. In some par. the potato crops have been patchy in yfeld, while in others splendid crops have been produced. Apples Splendid The apple crop is uniformly rood, both in quality and quan- lity. Only in a few spots has tuere seen much scab, and it is quite mt keeping with the average of the re- ports to say that this has been a splendid apple year. Small fruits have also done exceptionally well In most sections of the district, Fall work is now going ahead, sut not so slowly as most of the 'farmers would like. The season nas been a rather backward one, owing to the late start in the spring, and only a small amount of fall plowing has been done as ret. Reports From District The following are reports which nave been sent in by correspond- mts of The Times from various parts of the district, and on which the above: summary has been based: -- PROSPECT Prospect, Aug, 30.--Harvest Is GEORGE C, ALLCHIN Member of the Oshawa Board of Education, 1929, i | REV. FATHER BENCH Representative of the Separate School Board on the Oshawa Board of Education, finished in this vicinity with the exception of a few pleces of late barley and buckwheat. Some or the farmers have threshed thelr tall wheat and barley to make room for their later crops. The fall wheat was an excellent crop, but the spring wheat was not so good. There was very little sown in this district. What oats that have been thresh- ed as yet have been an average yield. The barley was very short in the straw, but in spite of this was well headed. There was no rye sown in this vicinity. Buckwheat, what was sown early was a real good frop but what was sown later did not come on so well as there was too much wet wea- ther. The potatoes were a real good Top. Mr. George Smith, one of the largest potota growers of this dis- trict, has already shipped three car- loads of early potatoes. He reports an average of two hundred and sixty bags to the acre. The turnips are a fair crop, al- though there is not many grown in this distriet. Fodder corn is a real good crop, excepting where it was sown on the low land and the wet has affected it. The early apples were an abund- ant crop, but the following winter apples are rather scarce. Small fruits, such as raspberries, currants, strawberries and goose- berries, were a fair crop, but not as abundant as last year, wy THORNTON'S CORNERS Thornton's Corners, Aug. Fall wheat is good. Fall rye is good. Oats are light. 30.-- Barley is light. Buckwheat and barley mixed fis doing well. Buckwheat alone is looking well but it is a little early yet to say much about the filling of it. There are no real failures in grain, but some has been cut uy the mower instead of the binaer. No threshing has been done in the immediate neighborhood yet, al- though harvesting is nearly finish- ed. Corn is not very good. Potatoes are good. There is a heavy apple crop. Small fruits were good. Hay was good. The second crop of alfalfa was good. Clover and alfalfa seed is good. Mangolds and turnips are fair so |" dn but it is a little early yet to sa, Tan ploughing is started «mq does not plow too hard. ' Market gardening was very late, but is doing Hell. SOLINA Solina, Aug. 30.--This district has experienced a very indifferent crop season, Hay was a heavy crop generally. Fall wheat was excep- tionally good average around 45 bushels per acre. Barley is very light, much of it will not go over 25 bushels per acre, Many cases of peas were a com- plete failure and the best only half a crop. Oats are fair, while the later sown look like the best proposi- tion, All grains failed to stook out: consequently thin on the ground. With the exception of Wheat, all straw is short, Early potatoes are a very light crop while late ones promise to be somewhat better, Turnips and mangolds show ev- ery prospect of being a splendid crop. A larger acreage of buckwheat than usual promises a bumper crop at present. Apple crop is exceptionally heavy in this community. Several have sold out already. There will be the usual acreage of winter wheat sown along with fertilizer generally. Considerable plowing and sum- mer fallowing is being done. Red clover is showing the great- est bloom in years and with warm weather and cool nights should produce a great crop of seed. » LJ w LJ EBENEZER Ebenezer, Aug. 30.--Fall Wheat ~--There was a small acreage of fall wheat in this district but the crop was exceptionally good. 'fue average yield was about 35 bushels to the acre. ' Spring wheat--Only a few farm- ers grew spring wheat this year. The wheat was short in the straw but the yield of grain is very souvd.

Fall wheat and spring wheat crops are all cut and harvested and a large percentage of the late grains are cut, very little being harvested or threshed. Some farm- ers are threshing from the fiela.

The grain, however, is reported ay being a good sample. Barley--Very little barley is grown in this district and what 13 grown will be much the same as the oats. Mixed grain--Mixed grain as well as oats is grown in quite large quantities in this vicinity. The same report as for the oat crop, holds for this grain crop as well, Buckwheat--Owing to the back- ward spring, a large acreage of buckwheat was sown and if heip- ful conditions continue the yield will be good. Alsike--Only a few farmers had alsike to be threshed this year. The crop was fairly good, with u yield of 3 to 4 bushels to the acre. Hay--The hay erop this year wan exceptionally good in this district. The yleld was from 3 to 4 loads to the acre. At present the second crop of alfalfa is being cut and harvested. Millet--The acreage of millet in this district' has increased consid- erably during the past few ywars. This is due to the fact that the corn borer has infested the corn crop, thus making it less profitable Panco Soles Sizes 11 to 132 Sizes 1 to 5% i | Made fo wear, not for price | | competition.

Sweet Clover--Several farmers have had a good crop of sweet clo- ver this year and have put it into their silos in place of corn. This is also due to the corn borer. Clover--A larger acreage of clo- ver is being left this year for clo- ver seed and so far promises to be a good crop. Corn--There is a decided de- crease in the number of acres of corn this year, but what has been sown is producing a fairly good erop, The corn borer has already This year's crop ot] been at work in many corn fields and has destroyed and is still de- stroying much of the corn, especl- ally the earlier crops. Several farmers have a few acres of caun- ing corn for the canning factory. Mangels--Mangels in this dis- trict are a good average crop. How- ever, a few fields which were sown late, have not amounted to very much, Turnips--Turnips show signs ot a good crop. Often a fly pest de stroys the turnip crop, but it has not affected this year's crop. Potatoes--The acreage of pota- toes is decreased this year, owing {ing a long haying season. a failure, in many cases they will | terest, is that the pastures are still in good condition which is a great help to the dairymen. * Ld HAYDON Haydon, Aug. 30.--Crops in gen- oral in this district will on the av- arage, be fairly well, Hay on most farms being extra good, mak- Peas are not pay for threshing. Fall wheat is so far reported as a good yfeia, Threshing has only well started and a fair report of yields of dif- ferent grains cannot be given yer, Barley is fairly good. Oats«are only half a erop. Mixed grain is a very light crop, about half, Buckwheat at the present time promises a good crop. Alsike threshing is mostly done and averages a fair yiela, The potatoes promise a fairly good erop, but not heavy, gener ally, although some farmers with a large acreage will have a good showing. Roots and corn are good and an average crop is expected, Apples throughout this district is a good crop at present, without A. W.
