Cool. Cloudy Weather Delays

Harvest In West

WINNIPEG.--Instead of Warm dry weather required to hasten crop maturity, the west had another cool. cloudy week with rains in all three provinces. As a result crops have not ripened as quickly as hop- ed for. and while late crops .' have benefitted in respect to growth, the danger of fall froshs before matur- ity comes closer. Reports on yields and grades of grains already har- vested indicate that leaf rust dam- age has exceeded earlier predict- ions. Stern rust, where present, is taking its toll also. Warm Cit" weather is urgently needed through out the west. according to the weekly crop report of the Depart- ment of Agriculture of the Canad- ian National Railways.

In the Peace River. haying as of grass seed and early barley has been suspend- ed by wet weather. Ripenlng con- ditions are poor and two weeks of warm weather is needed to com- plete ripening. Stands appear heav- ier than expected. Good yields of fescue and brome seed are ready for

harvesting but the Alfalfa seed crop

is poor.

The Okanagan Valley had inter- mittent rains which slowed fruit picking. The apricot movement is finished and peaches. plums. crab

apples. and burly apples are moving

He in here in the interests of the Manitoba Liquor Inquiry Commission and will confer with Premier A. W..Matheson this mor- ning regardlng liquor administra- tion and legislation in Prince Ed- wurd Idllnd.

CLOSING OF TWO

”You have made an excellent start and we can expect much greater things from you.” said Ma- Jor Ian Callum MacLeod at the conclusion of the Summer School for Highland dancing, piping, Gae- lic language and Gaelic singing, which has been conducted for the past two weeks at Prince of Wales College by the Caledonian Club.

There were 32 dancers attending the course. These were under the instruction of Mrs. Douglas Mac- Gowan of Montague. Major Mac- Leod gave instruction in piping and was assisted by Mrs. MacLe0d .ii Gaelic language and singing. Pipers receiving instruction num- oered 10 advanced and six prim ary. The Gaelic school was at- .ended by 23 people of all ages. Major Ma.cLeod was enthusiastic about the progress made by the pupils at the school. He praised the parents who had encouraged the children in their work but pointed out that this was only a beginning. "The progress you will make, will depend upon the ef- tort you put into your work from now on," he said.

The programme carried out last. evening before 3. large audi- ence last night at the College aud- itorium saw almost every phase of Highland dancing both individual and group. The young pipers per- formed like veterans and gave am- ple evidence of the careful train- ing they had had.

The audience was thrilled by the exhibition of dancing given by Miss Betty Campbell of Pictou .V.S. Miss Campbell perlormed in me Highland rling, the Sailors Hornpipe and the Irish Hornpipe. The last number brought a mos. enthusiastic encore.
