The departure of Mr. Large and family from the com- munity ie a matter'of general regret as they have always beon held in un- iversal esteem. J. A. Ruddick, Dairy Commission- er, states there is no danger of Amer- ican interests obtaining control of Canadian cheese factories as is repor- ted to be their endeavor, according to Buffalo newspapers, "A cheese fact- ory," Mr. Ruddick said, "does not lend itself readily to monopoly. If the farmers are discontented with one cheese factory they would build up another right off-and perhaps put first one out of business. The way cheese is manufactured also would not suit a monopoly, because the farmers take their milk and cream to the factory and pay allowance to a certain man to make cheese out of it. Ifthey are not satisfied with his figures they take their custom away from him and he is left without business, so the farm- ers always control cheese factories and the factories never controi them. In this way there could never be a monopoly." Mr. Ruddick says there is entirely too much green cheese on the Canadian market. The United States is now Canada's best custom- er for butter.

The Bulletin of the Census and Statistics Office, issued to-day, says that the reports on field crops at the end of August are more certain than at the end of July, and that the sit- uation during the mouth has improv- ed. In the older provinces the grains bave matured well and have been harvested and saved in fine condition. The estimate for wheat, oats and bar- ley is 445,420,000 bushels, which is 129,188,000 bushels less than the final estimate for last year. Spring wheat is less by 45,608,000 bushels, oats by 70,219,000 bushels ond bar- ley by 16,010,000: but fall wheat shows an increase of 1,649,000 bus- hels. The eastern provinces show gains in each one of the crops. The increase of wheat there is 8,633,000 bushels, of oats 23,219,006 bushels bushels and of barley 625,000 bush- els. The loss in the western prov- incas, exclusive of British Columbia, is a result of the great drouth of July, which reduced the area harvested by 22 per cent. for wheat, by 24 per cent. for oats and by 31.5 per cent. for barley. The estimated product- ion of wheat for the whole of Can- ada is 122,785,000 bushels, of oats 283,247,000 bushels und of barley 89,388,000 bushels, as compared with 166,744,000 bushets whent, 353,466, 000 bushels oats, and 55,398,000 bus- hels barley in the final estimate for last year. The estimate for Manit- oba, Saskatchewan and Alberta is 99,890,000 bushels whent, 92,201, 000 bushels oats and 14,728,000 bus- hels barley, being an average of 11. 89 bushels for wheat, of 2096 bush- els for oats and of 14.49 bushels for barley on the area sown, but of 15. 24 bushels wheat, 27.91 bushels oats The September number of 'The| Athletic World" magazine has just} reached this office.

The Knox College Gospel Team which has been holding meetings in the Presbvterian church during this week have been meeting with a large _measure of success in their efforts. The team is composed of five college students, and one of the pleasing fea- tures at the meetings is the work of the vocal tito, their singing being en- joyed by all.

Archibald Blue. September Rod and Gun. With the opening of the bird shoot- ing season the September number of Rod and Gun in Canada, published by W. J. Taylor, Limited, Woodstock Ont., gives ao number of delightful stories dealing with days amongst the dicks, geese, woodcock and prair- ie chickens-- experiences which will cause many a thrill to sportsmen readiog them. Numbers will be able to duplicate, in remembrance, many of these published experisnces, and in this way live over again red letter times in their histories. Variety marks this production every lover of the outdoors, whateyer his particular taste, receiving attention. Thestory of two young moose, one of a pet raccoon, the efforts of an amateur to trap a bear, particulars of the Awmer- ican bison, the Alpine Club's last camp and some dog lore show the manner in which the magazine cov- ers the wide variety of Canadian out- door life. The'verses in this number are excellent, and the Bohemian ring of "Fishin"s Good" will find an echo with many~eyen of the most staid. "My Little Fisherman," with bis wonderful story of the monster that got away appeals to the sym- pathies of all, while the "Evening Chorus" is equally good. The issue should te found with every shooting party this season.

The church was beautifully decoated and: the choir rendered excellent music. In the morning during the offetry Mr. Geo. Cutts sang with splendid effect, "I'm but astranger here," and again in the afternoon he gave, "Jer- usalem the Golden," before the close of the service. The incumbent oce- upied the pulpit at both services. Monday evening the choir from Christ Chutch, Listowel, under the direct- ion of Mr. Malony, gave a rervice of praise. The Rev. H. M. Lang ford took the service and the Rev. Mr. Nye. of Palmerston, prenched a very inspiring and stirring address.
