PRICE: FIVE CENTS a2 bf - nF START SOON 7 Prairie Grain Crop is Coming Along Rapidly and Cutting About to Start WINNIPEG, July 23:—-Warm wea- ther, interspersed with scattered showers, has brought grain along very rapidly and, early next month, the whirr of binders and putt-putt of tractor-drawn combines will re- sound over the whole of the grain growing areas of the prairies, ac- cording to the weekly crop report of the agricultural department, Ca- nadian National Railways. In the more, northerly districts, rank, heavy growth will delay ripening and an early frost would cause ha- voc although at present damage from devastating hail, wind, drought, soil blowing, insects and rust has affected a very small per- centage of the western acreage. In Manitoba, weather has been exceedingly interspersed with thun- der showers and grain is maturing rapidly. Cutting will commence in some districts the beginning of the week, while in others early. fields will not be opened until the first week of August. The wheat crop ap- pears heavy but in many of the more southerly districts the oat and barley stands are being dam- aged by grasshoppers. Farmers are now busy haying and the supply of fodder for the coming winter should ‘be ample In Saskatchewan weather has been warm with heavy showers which have improved conditions. Wheat is ripening fast and it is ex- pected the first binders will start operations about August 1. Farmers are hoping for another good rain before harvest as many of the fields require more moisture for normal berry filling In Central and Northern Saskat- chewan conditions remain promis- ing and, although some points in the central area could stand more moisture, this is not true of the jnorthern districts where moisture is now so abundant that lodging persists and maturity will be de- layed. Rust is now appearing at several points but it is not general. South-Central Alberta conditions continue favorable and from many if the districts come reports that he present crop gives indications jof heavier yields than crops har- vested for the past few years Warm weather is required to has- late crops as maturity will vary tl In Central Alberta all rrains are progressing rapidly and | prospects appear excellent. Weather has been warm and showery with ght hail sterms reported but no ensive damage has resulted In the Grande Prairie territory lave improved crops but grain is still badly in need of more rain and warm weather whereas, in the Peace River dis- trict crops, are more promising recent showers Tichteen Month Terms Imposed Upon Burglars William Nick Fishuk and Sam Olsen were sentenced by Judge F.
