PAGE FOUR STRAWBERRIES WILL BE ONLY AVERAGE CROP Apple Crop Is Promising Present indications point to a light crop of strawberries in Clarkson and district and the Canadian housewife can hold out small hope of the fruit being as cheap as in the bumper year, 1925. A wet season last year, com- bined with the activities of grubs, has caused a tremendous number of plants to be winter-killed. In addition the entire fruit crop is a week or ten days behind in the Clarkson district, and it is expected to be July lst before strawberries are available in any con- siderable quantities. In the opinion of James Pengelly jr, fruit farmer in Clarkson, this year‘s crop will be very similar to last year’s. “We had an exceptionally heavy year in 1925,” he said “’26 was a normal} crop and last- year about a 60 per} cent. one. Another 60 per cent. year is what we expect.” He referred to the rain of the last day 01- two as a “million dollar rain,” saying that the present dull weather was ideal for planting strawberries. “But we need clear weather for the bees to get some work in,” he declared. “Clear and warm weather.” Apples Look Good" Fruit farmers are enthusiastic over the prospects of tlie apple crop. While the season, as in all brancehs of farming, is several days behind, buds are showing plentifully, and every- thing points to a good season. Of the fall apples, all are showing signs of a bumper crop, excepting Mackintoshes, Which are fair to light and in winter apples, Greenways are looking very well. The farmers hope for great things from them, but Spies are only fair and Baldwins should be lighter than usual.“ v Other fruits look promising, sour cherries, particularly Montmorencies leading the field with breaking buds and opening blossoms. A good ‘year is expected from these. Raspberries, on the other hand, are expected to produce only a medium yield. Take all round, a season well above the five year average is confidently looked forward to.

The Richmond Hill Yzmkee critic advises readers “not to miss it.” What is probably the greatest com- pliment ever accorded 2: foreign mot- ion picture in the United States is that given “The Battles of the Coron- el and Falkland Islands” showing next week at the Bedford Theatre by the William Randolph Hearst “Amer- ican” of New York City, where this remarkable and mighty British film epic has just completed a sensational engagement of four Weeks at the lKeith-Albee theatre, the “Cameo.” Under the boxed caption “The Naâ€" val Fights in Movie,” Regina Cannon, cinema critic of the “American,” has the following to say about this splend- ‘id spectacle. “There is a picture called “The Batâ€" tles of the Coronel and Falkland Is- lands’ at the Cameo this week that you don’t want to miss. It is an au- thentic reconstruction of the two Great War, a stirring record of nter- mingled defeat and victory between the British and Germans. And so gal- lantly each side fought and so unbias- ed is the celluloid account of their manoeuvres that the spectator feels only sympathy for the contenders in ‘the seemingly futile struggle. None of the ships that were in eith- er of the engagements still exists, yet they were “reconstructed” so sucâ€" cessfully for this picture that one feels. he was among those present at the scene of the actual disaster. The di- rector has done an excellent piece of work, for this is a plotless story with only a series of vivid incidents to string together to make a gripping whole. - A lady bather “barely escaped drowning” in Florida, according to ,a dispatch. “Barely” is doubtless the right word. 3 p. m.â€"Sunday School 8 p.m.â€"Evening Service ELGIN MILLS 2.30â€"Sunday School 3.30â€"Evening Service.

Ellis. On ,the wall of Mr. Ellis’ office is a large Imap of the Central Ontario territory dotted with colored pins. These de- note sources from which complaints have been received concerning radio lreception. When these complaints are recorded they are turned over to \the nearest “radio interference car” [which works day and night carrying (specially trained investigators. No other country in the world is do- ing for its radio listeners What Can- ada has been doing for the past three years. The Federal department of Marine and Fisheries, through its rad~ io branch, has a permanent force with FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INTERESTED IN RADIO a fleet 0f cars hunting “interference” for the hundred of thousands of radio listeners stretched across the contin- ent from Halifax to Vancouver. In ad- dition, the radio inspectors and their men perform countless other duties to enable the listener-in to get full value from his set. C. N. COOPER HARDWARE Other countries of the world, Mr. Ellis states, are becoming interested in Canada’s radio interference work and are continually making inquiries about the work here. Every person in Canada owning a radio receiving set is required to pay a license fee of one do’llar, and this fully covers the a.- bove service. England, according to Mr. Ellis, charges a license fee of a- bout $2.50, but all this goes for broad- casting and not for interference work._ Germany charges $12 but does not give any service such as is provided in this country by the “radio interferen- ce cars.” Richmond Hill Some of these come from places far up the Ferguson highway, in North- ern Ontario._ So the radio car covers a beat extending to Cochrane, 500 mil- es from Toronto, cleaning up interfer- ence on the way Northern officials of the hydro-electric power commission are instructed in the same work, since the car’s far northern trips are neces- sarily infrequent. A number of north- ern radio enthusiasts also try to hunt their own trouble, and in this respect some help, of course, may be given by correspondence. The cars work out as far as 500 miles from their headquarters clean- ing up interference complaints. Al- though the sturdy Oakland stationed at Toronto has gone 14,000 miles in ten months this gives only a small in- dication of the service it has rendered, for often it is necessary to stop at every telegraph or telephone or elecâ€" tric-light pole in search of faulty in- sulators, loose wires or- other causes of trouble. An average of 160 com- plaints a month are received in the Toronto divisional officer ‘ In Mr. Ellis’ division there are two Oakland sedans on this work. Each carries an aerial on the roof, and built inside is a complete receiving set. A portable set is also carried for use where it is impossible to take the care. The full equipment includes portable typewriter, files, despatch case and other necessary articles. A similarly equipped Oakland, formerly used in Ontario, is doing radio duty out of St. John, N.B.
