Prairie Crop Prospects Have Deteriorated”

OTTAWA, tCPl-- Prairie crop prospects have deteriorated seri- ously under the impact of heavy rains. rust. hail and sawfiy dam- age. the bureau of statistics said in B. telegraphic report of crop con- ditions across the country.

"Harvesting is very late through- out the west, with many crops still immature and subject. to frost. damage," the bureau said Wednes- day.

M.-my western fields are ao wet. that harvesting machinery can't get. in. Rust. has seriously reduced yields over wide areas of Saskat- chewan, Manitoba and to a lesser extent, eastern Alberta.

POOR WEATHER GENERAL

The weather has been none too good in other parts of the country. Wet weather has delayed harvest- ing of Oi-it.ario"s spring wheat and much of the crop is still in the field. Ontariois tobacco and to- matoes alm are ripening slowly.

Haring in Quebec has been com- pleted under poor conditions. The yield is good but the quality only medium. About 30 per cent of strain has been cut. but the volume has been reduced by lodging. rust and smut. Pastures are lush and the milk flow abundant except in the Troisc-Rlvieres area.

Maritime weather has been ideal for harvesting. Dry weather has reduced potato blight in Prince Ed- ward Island. Blight is reducing the New Brunswick potato crop but the Nova scotia crop is good.

Poor weather has retarded opera- tions in British Columbia.
