As s. consequence of this reduction the policy as regards the cadet ser- vices will require modification. This will become effective on September i, the beginning of the school year. Allowances heretofore paid to qualified cadet corps instructors at the rate of $2.00 per cadet up to a maximum of 50 cadets, and $1.00 for each cadet over 50 in each corps, whether junior or senior, will be re- duced to a flat rate 0f $1.00 W!‘ senior cadet only. Senior cadets are those 15 years of age and under 1B years of age on September i of the school year. The payments in question are made subjectto the condition that the prescribed stand- ard cf efficiency is reached. Junior cadets (boys 12 years of age and under 15 years of age on September 1 of the school year) for whom no instructional allowances are authorized. may continue to be- long to cadet corps and a free grant of miniature ammunition for rlflc practice and competitions, and bon- uses for those who qualify in sis- naiiing will continue to be made- Por the purposes of economy, the cadet services will cease to be ad- ministered by s separate branch and will be absorbed by the General Staff Branch at National Defence headquarters and in the several military districts. Physical training and first aid to the injured will still continue to ploy an important part in the training of both senior and junior cadets.

Drought and heat took heavy tolls of the crops. especially in Ontario and the Prairie Provinces. The most damage during July was done to crops of flax, wheat. barley and oats, the survey showed. The flax mop, on e. greatly reduc- ed acreage. was judged to be 43 per cent of average at July 31. The condition of the wheat crop was shown to be 57 per cent of average which, with the exception of 1931 was the lowest fgure at that date in the records of the Bureau. CROP YIELD LOW The coarse grains also suffered from drought, the Bureau reported.» and prospects were for about two- thida of an average yield. Potatoes were placed at 84 per cent of aver- age. Considering all crops, the yield prospects for 1033 wcr among the lowest on record for Canada. ‘The yield per acre of Fall wheat i was placed considerably below that , of 19x2, and, even with s. slight 1n- i crease in acreage, ‘total production| was lower, 14,143,000 bushels com- pared with 15,002,000 bushels in 1982. Production 0f Fall rye in Canada in 1933 was estimated at 5,104,000 bushels compared with, 7,132,000 bushels last year. This de- cline was attributed to reduced 810N330 and yield per acre in Sa- skatchewan. The drought in Eastern Canada was held responsible for reduced production of hay and clover, which was estimated at 11,093,000 tons for Canada oomparedqwith 13,559,000 tons last year.
