Up to n lcw weeks ago practically 90 per cent of the scason's planting had been completed, and this was done when seed was selling at from $3 to $4 8, barrel. All the seed that was put in on well draiied land is coming along in fine shape; but where seed was planted on low ground and did not get started previous to the wet weather, it will be a total loss and must be planted over or used for other purposes. One advantage which those will have who will rcplant is that seed will cost only about n quarter ns much as earlier in the season, ns it is now worth only $1 a barrel. The cost of seed is quite an item, as. it takes from six to eight barrels of stock to plnnt an acre. The fertiliz- 'er will in most cases be available for the replauted-crop. iiieplautlng can Vi Fitting Ccnclusicnfor Yeur’s Wol"k`ln ` u Drums The scholastic year in Notre Dame Convent, Charlottetown, was brought to n close last night by the presentation of the "The Blind Prin- cess."
