Fight Flics with Tanglefoot! 



For 30 years Tanglefoot has been America's surest, safest, most sanitary 

 fly-destroyer. It is non-poisonous, easy to use, and costs but a trifle. 

 Each sheet is capable of killing 1,000 flies. And Tanglefoot not only kills 

 the fly, but seals it over with a varnish that destroys the germs as well. 

 In buying, ask for the genuine " TANGLE FOOT "~it costs you no more 

 and lasts twice as long as the no-name kinds sold merely as fly-paper, or 

 sticky fly-paper. 



Made only by The O. & W. Thum Co., Grand Rapids, Mich. 



Gasoline will quickly remove Tanglefoot from clothes or furniture. 



How to Use 



Open Tanglefoot slowly. In cool 

 weather wa.rm slightly. For best 

 results place Tanglefoot on chair 

 near window at ni^ht. Lower all 

 shades, leaving one at the Tanglejoot 

 window raised about a foot. The 

 early morning light attracts the flies 

 to the Tanglefoot, where they are 

 caught. (31)

Fruit Crop Report 



From Ontario there have been no 

 verse weather reports. In parts of 

 Maritime Provinces frosts were experiem 

 on June 3 and 4. In British Columbia 

 weather has bet-n admirable, the sea 

 being two and three weeks earlier. 



APPLES 



The season for apples will be a vi 

 satisfactory one. In Nova Scotia the I 

 reports are very pessimistic. In On 

 there are "certain sectioais where the 

 ages of tent caterpillar have reduced 

 crop. Spies are reported short in Brai 

 and in Middlesex late varieties have not 

 s«t well. In Quebec there has been m"*^ 

 damage from caterpillars in unspr^ 

 orchards, particularly in Huntingdon C 



The general report from British Colum- 

 bit is that a crop well above average will 

 be harvested, particularly of the ' 

 varieties . 



PEARS 



The pear crop in Ontario will be a light 

 one. Id the southern counties the crop 

 reported fair, with Kieffers particulai 

 abundant, but in eastern Ontario the 

 will be an entire failure. In Nova Scoi 

 over fifty per cent, of a full crop is 

 pected. An excellent crop is reported 

 British Columbia. 



PLUMS 



The set in southern Ontario was 

 light and the crop will be below averai 

 In the county of Lincoln, Japanese 

 ieties are almost a failure and Europ© 

 sorts are light. Farther east in Onta 

 the plum crop is a total failure. In Q)ue- 

 bee the native American varieties are gc^d. 

 Xova Scotia reports a heavy blossom. 

 British Columbia a greater crop than 

 year is expected. 



PEACHES 



So far as Ontario is concerned the re 

 ports remain practically the same as those 

 which were published a month ago. Witb 

 the exception of the Essex Peninsula and 

 a slight scattering in Lambton county, the 

 peach crop in Ontario is a total failure. 

 In the Okanagan Valley of British Colum- 

 bia reports on early varieties are still quite 

 promising, and for the later varieties the 

 general report appears to be that sli.ghtly 

 over half a crop will be harvested. In 'lif 

 Kootenay Valley the peach crop i^ 

 tailure. tomatoes 



In Western Ontario, the acreage undei 

 tomatoes is the largest for many years. 

 .As a direct consequence of the peach cro? 

 failure, a number of growers planted to- 

 matoes. There is danger that the supply 

 oftomatocs will be much greater than thede- 

 mand and that prices will be low. There 

 has been a heavy planting of tomatoes in 

 the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. 



CHERRIES 



.An abundant crop of all varieties ol 

 cherries is reported from the Niagara dis- 

 trict and from the southern and western 

 counties of Ontario. In Norfolk, Peel and 

 Wentworth sweet varieties will yield only 

 a light crop, but the report is extremely 

 f>-ood for all other verieties. In eastern 

 Ointario there will be a very light yield 

 Practically a full crop is reported from 

 Nova Scotia. In the Okanagan district the 

 set was not a particularly good one ; im 

 the Kootenay Valley the prospects are 

 excellent. r.R\PES 



Reports from the Niagara district indi- 

 cate a crop between medium and large, and 

 in many instances fully twenty-five per 

 cent, larger than was harvested a year ago.
