Much of the fall wheat inst har- vested wajs sown a. week or two later than usual, owing tothe rainy wea- ther prevailing in the _carly part of last fall, but this does` not seem to have had. any bad eect A upon the general character of the crop.` _ There was but little injury by wi_nter-kil_l- ' ing, and very little was plowed `up ` in the spring. April was not "favor- l able to the growth of the young wheat, but during the summer the 1 crop picked up to-esuch an extent that } if I-Inn-marl nndv `On `kn nnn nl` flan Innn hr-`pr r oooo use u-...:`.yv_wv-V-o `van \tI-Ir -.v v-U-v it turned out to be. oneot the best; `crops yet recorded in the Province, both as to yield and quality. While -some returns fall short of an aver-_ . age, several instances. are given where the crop .. range from 40 to- 5'0 bush-. `els per acre, and samples are report- ed going fully 63 pounds to the ` bushel. Much of the straw is shorter than usual, but bright. Owing to heavy rains in July some of the wheat-lodged and sprouted, but not in sufficient proportion to be a seri-' ous drawback. The AHessian y was reported in several counties, but only to a slight extent compared. with re- cent years. The injury from other insects, and from rust and smut, has been but triing, and this` may also be said of the grain crops. "A few complaints have been made of depre- dations of sparrows in wheat and other cereals. The` cutting of fall wheat ranged {mm the 10th to the 30th of July. according to locality, although at the later date the great- er part of `the crop was in the barn. spring Wheat. ' The harvesting of all spring,` grains this year is about a week or, so lat _er than usual, and the? cutting` of I up with the more favorable weather spring wheat was -expected during the tint and second weeks of August. Like {all wheat, the crop suered from drouth in` the spring, butpulled prevailing later. ` While rather thin on the ground in pls.c.s,. the heads . are well lled, the grain is plump, and the average yield iwill he a. fairly large one. There was but slight in- jury from insect. or other pests. " Isrloy. A large acreage and I. big yield fairly `describes this crop. Cutting began about the 20th July, am was i expected to`run a week into August. r While some barley had lodged and was discolored by rain, the bulk of `the crop is of the choicest quality. both in" color and weight-, while the _ average yield is one of the Vmo.-at generous .yet reported. Most of the 1 barley grown in Ontario is now fed ` ito live stock on the `farm, being; 1 substituted largely for peas since the ` } latter" `crop has been sufferings from y the weevil. ,'.l'here was but little in- l jury to the crop trom_ any other source but rain. While a few corrupondents - writing on the 1st of August reported the cutting of oats, most of the crop had yet to ripen, and harvesting was `likely to "continue for` a couple of .weeks yet. The yield will be large, and the qualityot the grain e'ood.e A's in the case of tall wheat and.bar- ley, some individual yields` _will be immense. The straw is` comparative- -ly short, but otherwise of fair qual- ; ity, but there has bcenconsiderable i lodging owing to heavv `rains during V the past week orltwo. Rust and smut } are complained of in a few localities, - 1 but only to a slight extent even ithen. . _ . i ' , - _.,v, Peas. It is diicult to sum up the exact situation regarding peas, owing to the fact that for the past two or three years the at or grass oea has been largely eubstituted for the com- mon round eld pea on account got the depredations of the pea weevil or bug/' and that this year a number. of farmers have returned to the lat- ter variety.

It was so dry at the time of planting that much of the seed failed to germinate, which made `considerable replanting neces-A Iary. A number of correspondents also complain of the poor quality of the seed apart from weather condi- tions. Crows and blackbirds were unusually troublesome when the plants had just sprouted. and cold, wet weather later on told against the growth of the crop. Notwith- standing all these drawbacks many. correspondents are of opinion that with favorable weather during the re- mainder of the season a fair yield will be recorded.

Correspondents do not report very fully concerning this crop, but west- ern returns were to the effect that it nwas rather backward owing to the late planting and cold, wet weather, although otherwise looking well. "The reports from eastern Ontario were rather more favorable as to general condition, but it was stated that some replanting had to be done on account of drouth. The interest in tobacco growing appears `to be less "than during. the past two or three Ae correspondents wrote on the lot- of August potatoes promised to be one of the best yields for years, more or less lavorablo accounts com- ing from nearly every county in` the Province. The only tear expressed was that should the rainy weather continue, there would -be danger of is loss from rot. At the time of writ- ing-, however, only a few cases of `rot were reported. and these appeare ed to be of a local character. A number of the returns spoke of bugs as being very rplentiiul, doubtless i owing to the frequent rains washing 1 of! the application: of Paris green. b-_a- vi ) Reports concerning mangels vary . very much, for while some of the returns speak of the crap as being in good condition, a large number de- scribe it as thin and patchy in places, . owing to the dry weather which prevailed at seeding interfel:-' ing with germination. In various .parts of the Province some of the mangelshad to be plowed up. Tur- nips have done much better, and pro- v mise to be a large crop. Hardly any .- mention was made of carrots, and reference to sugarbeets were to the effect that the crop was rather back- ward, and hardly up to the average for the time of year. However, all classes of roots have still a consider- able period before them in which to make` `further growth. , 1 ` Fruit. - ` l Taking the western half of the Pro- ? vince as a whole, apples are not up to the average, either in- yield or j quality, but most of the reports from 1 counties extending from York to 7.Grenvi_lle speak favorably of this fruit in both respects. Some corres- .pondents claim that the greatest in- jury was from frost during the peri- od of blossom. Winter apples will be relatively scarcer that the earlier sorts. Considerable. scab has been reported where ' the trees were not sprayed, but complaints have been less than usual V concerning wormy `truit. Blight among apple trees is "reported in`. several districts. While .a few correspondents speak well of the prospects for pears, most of the returns do not favor pa large, or even an average yield.

Full crops and the migration oi 1armers' sons to -New Ontario and to Manitoba and the Northwest, creat- ed a demand for farm laborers in Ontario that could not be met dur- ing*t-he rush of summer operations. Several "correspondents refer to the inux of British immigrants as hav- ing; relieved the situation to some extent; for while a number of these, having had no previous experience in agricultural work, were a sore disap- pointment, many of them have given good satisfaction. Wages during har- vesting ranged from $1.25 to $2 a day according to locality, the skills of the worker, and the urgency of the demand for help, the average rate be- ing about $1.50 with `board: Month.-. .ly wages":-an all the way from $20 to $40, and in a few cases as high as $45, the prevailing quotations`be- ing from $25 to $30, with"board While many farmers were undoubted- ly hard pushed `for a _while during harvest, the plan of interchanging labor proved to be of great assist- ance in some cases. and improved machinery is aloe mentioned as hav-' ing been of. much help in meeting-. the rush of, work.
