Peas ave pretty near a faflure, A number of farmers ploughed them under, and are preparing the land for fall wheat, Burley is very light, The hoe crop is good, except tho potatoes, and they are the lightest in years, Corn, turnips, mangolds, cabbage are good.

Ld Ld - ENFIELD Enfield, Aug. 30.--Very few of the farmers in this vieinity huve finished their harvest, consequently there has been 'very little plough- ing done. 'The hay crop which was harvested earlier {in the summer was a very heavy crop.

Indications are that root crops will be fairly good, considering the lateness of the planting, Turnips at present indicate even better than an average crop. Fodder corn promises a falr crop, and will average up well, in spite of cold spring, Conditions seem favorable for an Increased yield of potatoes over last year, Crops are growing well, There is fear, however, that mols- ture and excessive heat may pro. mote the spread of blight, The apple crop prospect Is even better than 1928. Tho crop was not serious in this district, Indl- cations are that fruit will he of good size and exceptional cour. Sliglit injury from aphides is no- ticed but generally fruit Is. clean. Most varieties, early and late, are showing good crops, with the excep- tion of Wagner, Russett, and Ben Davis. Pear orchards show a slightly better yield than 1928 and it 18 estimated that plums will be about 50 per cent of last year's crop. Harvesting is well under way and most of the grain will be gathered in barng this week, Threshing is about to begin, Fall ploughing is off to a good start, considering the late season, but is late in comparigon with other years. 4» CLAREMONT Claremont, Aug. 20.--Owing to the frequent showers, the crops in the vicinity of Claremont in Pics~ ering township are a little above the average. Hay was an abund- ant crop and a large acreage was safely gathered, although the early part of the season was showery, Wheat was an exceptionally good crop, Yields on the farms of John Miller, Luther Middleton and oth- ers along the Brock road were par- ticularly = noticeable, Mr, W, G, Beott, ex-warden of Ontario county, threshed a thousand bushels from 22 acres. Oats are a little below the aver- age, although some very fine yields of early seeding may be seen, Most of the cutting fs completed and will soon be gathered in, Corn, roots, potatoes and garden stuffs are an abundant crop, While the greater part of the province is suffering from drought, this section of country is exception- ally favored. The pastures are green and the later crops of hay and clover sced promise well. Buckwheat promises to he a bumper crop, and is now in full bloom, Apples of the late variety are a fair crop, with peas and smaller fruits not so good as in former years. A good acreage. is being prepar- ed for fall wheat, * * LJ MYRTLE Myrtle, Aug. 30.--~Threshing op- erations are progressing very rap- idly and the season for this is go- ing to he much shorter than it has heen for some years, owing no doubt to the very wet spring, which held up operations to a much Jlat- er date than usual The fall wheat was the heaviest yield of any of the grains and it went about 40 bushels to the acre, of gnod sample, The next heaviest yield that was threshed was the early maturing oats, the Siberian variety being of in this district a later kind has not been threshed yet, but looks promising. The mixed grain which is usu- ally a good crop was very light in nearly every farm around. There is mo rye grown in this immediate peighborhood, but fur- ther north, about five miles, fit was a splendid crop. The buckwheat that was gown early, promises to be very good, while the, later, not being out in bloom too well yet, stands a very good chance of getting frosted. Potatoes are a splendid sampie. There is not a great many in a hill, but what there are, are large and clean and free from any sign of seab, The turnips are very fair. Some fields look rather patchy, but they are of a nice size, and the mangolds are very good, also. The apple crop 1s very fair, Those who sprayed their orchards are now able to pick mice fruit free from worms, while those who ne- glected this, the sample of frujt is very poor and very much infested with worms, The plums are not nearly 2s plentiful as other years and show considerable signs of blight, The pears are unusually good an? are retailing at fifty cents a large basket. Those who grow onions for sale report a splendid erop this fall and as they took every precaution to spray for the maggot, they are suf- fering very little loss from this pest as in previous years. Owing to the corn borer some farmers did not try any corn this year. ' Those who have it say it is the poorest crop they have had for some time as it has not grown to the height it usually does, especi- ally that which is used for ensilage. A good all day rain would help greatly to improve all these crops and also freshen np the pasture lands which is getting dried and seedy looking. Fall ploughing {is progressing. A number of acres being turned over already, some preparing it for fall wheat. 'This work is speeded up by some through here with the tractors while others stick to the old reliable horse power It fs better to have loved and lost than to be the victim of a breach-of-promise suit, -- Brandon Sun.
