Poor Weather 0

For liipening Crops In West

WDINDDG -- Poor Weather for ripening crops prevailed across the Prairie Provinces this past week. Raina were frequent in most sac- tlons, with scattered hall damage still reported.

in more advance areas wharf some thruhlng or combining has been done, yields and grades of grain are disappointing. Late crops in northern areas are being writ- ten off at some points as it does not appear possible for them to ripen before being caught by frost.

The incidence of leaf and stem rust and crop deterioration result- ing therefrom are becoming more apparent as the season progresses. and earlier reports of the crop olltturn are being reduced signi- ficantly by most authorities, ac- cording to the weekly crop report oi the Department of Agriculture of the Canadian National Rail- ways.

Harvi-sting'should be general in the Peace River area in from one to two weeks, with wheat yields of -5 to 20 bushels per acre ex- pected. No frost damage has oc- curred to date. Three rainy days in the Oknnaghan Valley slowed picking and marketing of fruit. But with the return of better weather fruit movement. became quite heavy. Peaches, pears, apples and plum: are moving freely and prunes will move next week. The mills did not damage fruit qual- ity although ripening was delay- ed somewhat.

Dentists Backl Fluoridation

ST. ANDREWS, N. B. (CPV "Stildies continue to demonstrate that fluoridation of communal

water supplies is the most effec- tive public health measure yet known for the prevention of den- tal decay,” the Canadian Dental Association stated in a resolution Friday.

"All pertinent studies continue to confirm the safety and economy of this measure." the motion said.

The association "strongly reaf- firms its recommendation . . . that without delay communities having a communal water supply adopt a procedure for water fluoridation best suited to their local needs and for this purpose seek competent dental, medical and engineering advice."
