Lug auvice regarding threshing: `The method of threshing the ex- hibition grain is a matter of import.- ance. A very good plan is to flail the sheaves by hand on :1 canvas, spread out on the ground near the stocks or stack, on a bright, sunny day. Only a very few strokes of the ail should be given each sheaf, as the large, well developed ke1'nel:< will roll out first. The kernels remaining in the sheaf may be threshed out later in the ordinary way. Tomato shipments on a large scale from Southern Ontario to the West- ern Canada market represent a new development condently expected as the result of recent orders for sever --j--- 1 Tomatoes for West ' I l carloads of the fruit, especially pack- ed.

Steps have now been taken to re- vive the fresh fruit market for grapes in the prairie provinces, in Ontario and Eastern Canada. An in- ` tensive market campaign has been entered into and an appropriation made for advertising the household use of grapes which will be put on`- all markets at attractive prices. If really dependable table fruit, Can- adian-grown, and if placed on the market at a reasonable price, its ac- ceptance by the consumers seems to be assured. Success in this case is ` to a greater extent than in most pro- ducts, dependent on the quality. f Y l. e` Grover C a l wxucu Lney are nere ustea.

Current Crop Report The grain harvest has progressed` rapidly over the province and thresh ing has been the general practice. Fall wheat has averaged 35 bushels of good quality grain to the acre and barley has yielded satisfactorily. Threshing returns bear out earlier reports of material damage to the oat crop through rust and smut. Corn and roots continue vary prom- ising. In Southwestern Ontario beans are being seriously affected by a small worm new to this crop.

Let us follow it around. Probably the dry goods merchant gets it rst. He passes it on to the hardware merchant in payment of an account. The hardware merchant pays it in wages to one of his employees. This employee pays it to his landlady, who pays a grocery bill with it. The grocer can then pay his butcher. The butcher passes this on to his produce mer- chant, and this produce merchant, buying largely from the farmer, passes this ten dollars back to the farmer, from whom it originally came. Thus it has, in its ramblings among the home town people, served. many useful purposes and yet it is still in the community to again serve. If Sent away to Distant Merchants. -That ten dollar bill is gone for good. It may serve to build up the large city elsewhere. But so far as the home community is con- cerrred its usefulness is at an end. and the community has been drained of just that much working capital. When in Need of Printing .
