Such was the. cheery report â€"handed out on Monday by Secretary Hastings of the Niagara Peninsula Growers. Reports received from the different divisions of the company state "No damage," except where rain was extra heavy it washed a considerable amount of earth up on the strawherâ€" ries, but this does the berries no harm and a little sprinkle of rain will wash it off. / Grading â€" . "Proper and uniform grading is of paramount importance and we send you herein for your information and guidance a copy of the Grading Reguâ€" lations that were adopted in 1921. It is the intention to revise these rules and issue‘them in pamphlet form but inasmuch as some changes in the government regulations may be made it is advisable .that the matter of reâ€" vision be held in abeyance for the present. Your careful attention ~to There is no change in the cherry crop situation according to Mr. Hastâ€" ings. Sour cherries will not be any better crop than estimated, while sweet cherries are liazable to be a lighter crop than estimated, on acâ€" count of the Brown Rot having set in. In some sections the Brown Rot . has been very heavy and a loi of damage has ‘been done. ) The Peninsula Growers, are enâ€" MlMeavorng to make arrangements whereby nembers may be supplied ‘through the Company with dependâ€" able Nursery Stock at lowest rates.

As certain lines of Nursery , Stock are scarce it is necessary that this information be given at an early date. In past years many worthless and unprofitable varieties have been set out, and in order to avoid a repeâ€" tition of unnecessary and costly misâ€" takes it is the intention of the Comâ€" pany to give full consideration to the question of varieties and at an early date take steps to accurately determine the most desirable comâ€" mercial varieties for growers in the various sections to plant. > From a letter sent out to members of the Peninsula Growers last week, we clip the following: "Present indications point to a fairly heavy yield of all fruits with the exception of Raspberries, Cherâ€" ries and Duchess Pears (which will be light on the south side of ‘the lake) ,and to handle and market the crop to good advantage will call for the best efforts of all members and employees." eninsula â€" Growers Will Conduct An Effective Adâ€" vertising Campaignâ€"Will Handle Nursery Stockâ€" FEruit Must Be Packed Uniformly Thursday â€" Evening, Park, at 8.15 s 1 lake. in c McMillah..

Several tenders to supply materâ€" ials from construction firms were received. The tender of the Mitchell Construction Co. of London was accepted ‘by the council, for ‘the installation of the pipes, hydrants and valves at an approximate price of $8,107. The contract for the supâ€" plying of pipe was given, to the Garthshoreâ€"Thomson Co., of Hamilâ€" ton at $61.80 per ton and at five and oneâ€"half cents a pound for special castings.

Fortunately the old barn had been torn down to make room for the new structure, which had only progressâ€" ed as far as the foundation, â€"or the loss would have been considerably more.

The storm had been raging for several hours. ‘and along about 5 o‘clock . a bolt struca the outhouses,;â€"alid i spile "or" the downpour, which was as heavy as a stream from several sets of hose, the buildings were totally destroyed. The buildings contained a quanâ€" tity of hay and grain as well as one horse and one cow, which were. deâ€" stroyed. A quantity of material which was on the ground for the erection of a new ‘barn, which is in the course of erection, was also conâ€" sumed by the flames. Township solicitor Maconachie was instructed to d@raw up contracts ‘beâ€" tween the township and ‘.the two firms. It is expected that the work . of building the system will ‘be comâ€" menced at once. The agreement for the supply of water between the town water commissioners and the township was also signed.
