along the side of the root field or In the 

 corn patch cannot be beaten. If neither i.s 

 available, get the chicks into the orchard, 

 into a clump of trees, or if you have no 

 shade, provide some. The hot sun is disas- 

 trous to young chicks and ducks. 



Early this month is a good time to plough 

 up the runs and sow green feed, such as 

 rape. This can be sown broadcast in the 

 same manner as buckwheat, and it Is a 

 splendid green feed for the chicks in the 

 fall. 



Fruit Crop Conditions 



The July Fruit Crop Report of the Fruit 

 Branch of the Department of Agriculture, 

 Ottawa, contains the following information 

 regarding the condition of fruits in all parts 

 of Canada: 



Apples: In western Ontario there will be 

 ii light apple crop and much of the fruit will 

 be of poor quality. East of Toronto, Spies 

 are light, but on the whole indications 

 point to a crop nearly medium. Duchess 

 and Wealthy promise a heavy crop in east- 

 ern Ontario. Fameuse and Mcintosh will 

 be a full crop where orchards have been 

 sprayed. The total crop in British 

 Columbia is estimated as slightly larger 

 than last year. Nova Scotia reports two- 

 thirds of an average crop or slightly over 

 one million barrels. 



Peaches: There has been considerable 

 damage from "leaf curl" in Niagara. The 

 crop is estimated at 75 per cent, of last 

 year. British Columbia reports a crop about 

 equal to last year. 



Pears: In Niagara Bartletts are a good 

 crop; Anjou and Kieffer fair and Duchess 

 very light. Prospects are generally favor- 

 able in British Columbia. 



Plums: There will be a light crop in On- 

 tario. There are practically no Japanese 

 plums except Burbank. European varieties 

 will average a half crop. In Quebec there 

 will be about as many plums as last year. 

 European varieties have set particularly 

 heavy. 



Cherries: In Niagara district, sweet varie- 



ties will be about 30 per cent, of 1915, and 

 sour varieties 20 per cent. British Columbia 

 reports sweet varieties light and sour 

 varieties a fair crop. 



Strawberries: Late varieties will be a 

 good crop in Ontario. Warm weather is 

 badly needed. New Brunswick will also 

 have a large crop of good quality. A simi- 

 lar report comes from Quebec. In British 

 Columbia there will be a decided increa.'^' 

 over last year's crop.
