ODD! AND ENDS loney crop in Canada ecsnty this year. So say the statistics, and the wet weather is blamed for it. It was a lighter crop here, in my experience. but the cause was just the opposite. The dry weather con- tinued ac long that the flowers secreted but little nectar.

In years past l have been brought into contact with farmers (both in the northern and southern areas of the Island) who have sought to winter them in the rel- lar, and failed. The cellar may be too wann or too moist: it may have mice, which excite the bees and cause them to consume their stores: and the grading and bagging of Produce will have the same disturb- ng effect.

Watson. recently returned from North America where he flaw almost every phase of ngricutura in Can- ada and the United States. said one of the main worries of Canadian hog raisers is what is going happen to the product after the war.

Britain is importing seven times as much Canadian Moon as before the war and if this market l; lost it will be a serious blow to the Dominion, he continued, adding that the British people will have t0 remember this when they are planning for postwar agriculture.
