Temperatures have ranged from cool in Alberta to a maximum of 100 in Manitoba, according to the weekly crop report of the department of agriculture, Canadian National Railways. Scattered hall storm3 have taken toll in various localities but there is no insect or rust damage. In areas where moisture is satis-; factory, early fields are now 'headed out. Indications at this J.

To meet the housing needs of its vast army of war workers, Seattle has built during the past four years thousands of dwellings of varying size and construction. Now the city -actually faces a great surplus of 'jerry-built" homes decidedly un-suited to peacetime standards, says the Journal of Commerce of Vancouver. To overcome this condition, about 400 modern new homes are being erected each month in Seattle at a cost of about $G500 each. The de mand for larger higher-priced homes is also increasing. The war-built housing projects lining.the city limits are likely to be abandoned when peace comes. Thus we have a strange comparison too many homes in Seattle and too few homes in Vancouver. Both cities have received a proportionate increase in population, and both have been equally short of building materials. The two cities have faced identical housing emergencies. Why, then, are the present-day housing positions so different? We dispute the arguments that red tape is all to blame here in Vancouver. Our permit system is simple in comparison with the construction gauntlet run by a prospective home owner in Seattle the Seattle Housing Authority, King County Housing Authority, Federal Public Housing Authority, etc., etc. The fault must lie somewhere else! time are that yields will be extremely variable. The need Is for warm weather in some districts and rain in others. In southern Manitoba warm days have hastened growth and heat is required. About 25 per cent of wheat is now headed out with straw of good length. Coarse grains are In the shot blade. The sugar beet crop continues to do well and the pea crop gives every indication of a heavy yield. Wheat averages 14 inches- to 18 inches in height and over 50 per cent Is headed out. In southern Saskatchewan some localities report an im-. prnvement in moisture conditions while In others crops are deteriorating, and immediate rains are required. There is some damage by hall. In central Saskatchewan, conditions have Improved. Grain is now in the shot blade or headed out. The vleld should be- satisfactory. In the Rosetown territory some rainfall has occurred but grain is late and short. High winds hare caused some damage. The yield will be light. Northern Saskatchewan reports ideal wea.ther for crop erowth and wheat fields are either heading out or in the trade mark has been the Hall-Mark of quality among men who appreciate quality at its best. The same traditional value that has made the name STETSON world-famous, takes on an added significance today, when lasting satisfaction has an important bearing on every purchase.

Prospects for a heavy crop are excellent. In south central Alberta the weather haS been very warm, moisture conditions are variable and wheat straw is from 6 inches to 18 Inches long. Some hail has wiped out crop on some farms and several thousand acres will not be cut. In northern Alberta showers improved conditions in some localities but In others the moisture situation is serious'. Wheat heads are small and straw short. Later grains show more promise. Generally speaking, crops in Ihis territory will be lighter than last year. Crop development In the Peace River area has been favorable but additional rainfall 'vould be welcome. An average, yield is expected. In the Okanagan valley weather was hot and. dry, followed by a cool spell. Cherries aro coming in fast and are now moving to markets. Others fruits are maturing nicely and no damage 13 reported from any source. The need now is for a period of dry weather to allow cherries to be harvested without damage from splitting.

A petition of the East End residents requestlon that the city council make every effort to amelloriate the poor road conditions In that area in order to guarantee an improved bus service was supported. The question ol union jorganl-zation was discussed and the council went on record as recommending that its affiliated locals, stress the. necessity of their membership patronizing as much as possible, only union houses and buying only union labelled goods. It was pointed out that this was perhaps, the most educational and efficient method of creating union consciousness, thus ensuring a con tlnued growth of the. movement. Hotel. . . III II M M I WWWm bBLiH The Army will have thirty thousand volunteers, veterans ol the European field. Their commander, Major-General Bert. Ad. Holfmeister of Vancouver, brilliant battle-experienced graduate of the Reserve Army, Is one i of the outstanding Canadian commanders of the war in Europe, The Pacific Air Force will-include from fifteen to twenty squadrons, mainly bombers, with a Hying and ground personnel of some fifty. thousand. ' . The Navy will have sixty ships of all sizes, manned by fifteen thousand men. Many thousands more will maintain the vitally-needed shore bases of a fighting fleet. From-a country of Canada's small population, such a force is . a. truly magnificent contribution to the "final heave" against Japan. WE' HE IN IT TO THE FINISH: Nof only in her fighting forces Is Canada important in the Pacific, but her. position as fourth largest supplier of war goods fo (he United Nations in the European war will make her an important factor in supplies for the Pacific war. When the. populations of the other leading nations are compared on a per capita basis, Canada's record is even more striking.
