Hecenl rains have worked a wonderful improvement in Ihe crop situation in most districts of Saskatche wan wliere many districts are now anlicipalint crops of twenty bushels per acre and more. Some red rust and black rust is reported in Manitoba without however any reports oi nerious rust damage. Sawfly has caused losses in some districts and farmers there are cutting their, grain on the green side rather than risk further loss from this cause. )ni and ftiven fodder, have improved immensely. Continued warm weather is nested to -bring tin 1hc harvest before early frosts can strike the grain fields, causing loss of grade and yield. Manitoba Portage division of Manitoba reporfts cutting commencing this week and prospects very good. Htdgeville and Neepawa sub-divisions report some rust showing but damage flight. Ilrandon division reports wheat will yield from twenty to thirty bushels. Black rust is reported on Carman sub-division but no damage has resulted. Many farmers claim crops are the best Jn years. Hye threshing has started on Miama sub-division with the grain n good sample. Dauphin division expects very good crops.

'toria along the lines of the Vancouver -organization. Victoria i today is the cheapest, port for a j vessel to call at on. the Pacific Coast. At the present time the only port charge assessed Against the vessel is sick mariners' dues, which are assessed at all ports in Canada. In addition to this in Vancouver, vessels are assessed with harbor dues by the Vancouver Harbor Comlmission, and ine cargo is assessen wun a car go rate of 15 cents per Ion. This cargo rate is in addition to the Wharfage charges .which are Ihe same at Victoria as at Vancouver. 'IThis mans that the charges on a vessel handling 8,000 tons of cargo are $1,200 for cargo rales. 'Hie harbor dues on this vessel would amount to $120.' Thus in all, it costs $1,320 more at Van couver than Victoria. " The re sult of Ihese charges are just be ginning to show to theadvanlagei at Victoria, ami it would seem wry unwise for Victoria lo take any action which would inevitably li'sulf in the establishment of additional charges at the port. Elevator Situation "In the agitation f)r"the formation of this harbor board, Ihe srtalement is made that if Victoria secures a grain elevator it will be necessary to have a barborj board to operate it. While the Vancouver Harbor Hoard operates the grain elevators at that port at the present time, one of! the recommendations made by tho Grain Commission, which recently sat in Vancouver, to Ottawa, was that the operation of tho grain elevators should be removal from the Vancouver liarbor Hoard. "If there were no facilities in the port of Victoria at the present time to accommodate shipping and vessels did not call at the port for this reason, there might be some reason fur the establishment of a harbor board, (lie purpose of which would be to provide such facilities. The port of Victoria, however, at tho present lime is in possession of ample facilities lo handle a large volume of shipping. "The parties presenting the argument in favor of the forma tion of n harbor board have ere aled the impression that the ex peuse of the harbor board will bo assessed against tho lransporta- (.ion companies. You will quito of this, for while the Vancouver Harbor Hoard collects tho cargo rales in Vancouver" from the steamship companies, the steamship companies in turn assess these cargo rates agalitst the cargo.

She makes a product that any "manufacturer" might' be proud of, and doesn't hesitate to advertise the fact. A duck egg might be just as good, but the duck evidently doesn't think so. She doesn't advertise, and duck eggs have ;no market To be absolutely sure in buying ANY merchandise stick to the advertised brands. For their manufacturers believe in them and tell you about them daily in the advertising columns of this newspaper, over their signatures. The duck-egg brands might be just as good, but you cannot be sure, if the manufacturers themselves will not admit it! Read the advertisements regularly. Buy from them. You will then know the source of the products, and whom to look to if they don't measure up. Advertising is the radio of commerce---broadcasting things you should know charges established at Victoria. "As a concrete example of how high port charges arc forcing business away from tho port of Vancouver, it might be stated that since June 1, 20,000 tons of concentrates from the Koolenay, destined to Helgium, have mloved through Westminster instead of Vancouver on account of the cargo rates which would have been assessed .against this cargo had it moved through the port of Vancouver. The cargo rates assessed here, of 15 cents per Ion, are the same as Ihe cost of handling from Ihe cars to the ship's bold at Westminster. To Develop Port "Your committee now recommends that this information b submitted to the Dominion government, and would further re commend that the Chamber of Commerce appoint a special committee to develop the harbor traffic by arranging for tho nom1-pilation and dissemination of nformalion dealing with the ad vantages of the port, of Victoria by reason of Ihe low charges at present in existence.
