Crop Failure Worst on Record The Statistics Branch of the De-I partment of Agriculture, has releas-I ed the August Monthly Crop Reporti giving a review of crop conditions‘ in Ontario as compiled from reportsi from a large staff of regular cor- respondents. ‘ Crop conditions reported at the‘ end of July are the worst reported for Ontario since records of condiâ€" tion figures have been established. Intense heat from July 9th to 15th and an entire absence of rainfall over about two-thirds of the Prov- ince during the first three weeks of the month, caused severe injury to all crops. In Elgin, Essex, Kent, and in counties east of Kingston, moisture supplies were generally suf- ficient and the best crops .are situ- ated in these counties. Fall wheat, fall rye, first cutting of alfalfa, and to a large extent, the main hay crop, were sufficiently advanced to be only slightly reduced‘ in yield by the drought, which set in towards the end of June. Spring grains will be reduced in yield an estimated 20 per cent for the province as a whole, with the loss: in the counties of Brant, Welland, Wentworth and Haldimand, averaging close to 50 per cent. Orr quite a number of farms in this small area spring grains have been cut green to supplement the short- age of green fodder. Late grains are poorer than early sown field‘s. Buckwheat, potatoes, roots, pastures and second growth' alfalfa are in jpoor condition throughout most of the province. The milk flow is con- siderably below normal except in Eastern Ontario, and many farmers are feeding winter rations of hay and grain. The rains of July 23rd and 24th checkedX the effects of the drought temporarily, but failed to provide any great amount of soil reserve moisture, and rains are aâ€" gain badly needed in Southern, Cen- tral and Western Ontario. The harvesting of fall wheat and fall rye is completed, while the cut- ting of early oats and barley is near- ing- completion in Southern Ontario, about 50 per cent completed in Wes- tern and Central Ontario, and has commenced in Eastern Ontario. Fall wheat turned out a. very good crop, with the estimated yield placed at 23.7 bushels per acre as compared with a final yield of 22.7 bushels in 1935, and 15.8 bushels in 1934. The preliminary estimate of the yield of fall rye is 16.8 bushels per acre as aâ€" gainst a final yield of 17.6 bushels and 15.5 bushels in the previous two years, respectively. It is too early to.predrict safely the yield of spring grains, but it is fairly certain from the conditionI figures at the first of August, that the production per acre for these crops; will be reduced to the extent of approximately 20 per cent. The extremely high tempera~ tures which prevailed in the middle of July forced the premature ripen- ing of spring grain, and together ,with insufficient moisture supplies, have resulted in light filling of grain and short straw. The exception for Eastern Ontario again has to be made here, as reports indicate that spring grains are only slightly below laverage, due to late seeding and ap- pear to be filling well. The yield of hay and clover, and first Cutting of alfalfa, will generally ensure suffi- cient fodder for winter feeding purâ€" poses, although a number of indiviâ€" dual farmers may find it necessary ‘to purchase part of their needs The first cutting of alfalfa is place! at 1.76 tons per acre as compared with estimates of 2.02 tons in 1935 and ionly 1.08 tons in 1934. New seed- -ings of hay and clover have been |affected seriously by the dry wea- ther. The scarcity of pasture and aftermath in hay fields is resulting in loss of weight by livestock. THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO LATE JOHN HARRISON ‘ Mr. John Harrison ‘of Toronto, former resident of Richmond Hill died suddenly in Toronto last Wed- nesday morning. The funeral ser-I vice was held from the home on St. Clarens Ave. conducted by Major Bunton of the Salvation! Army. The late Mr. Harrison is survived by his Wife of Toronto, two sons and four daughters, one of Whom is Mrs. James Butler of Richmond Hill. EXPRESSES APPRECIATION The Vaughan Social Club appre- ciate very much the kindness of the following list who donated toâ€" ward their successful picnic held recently at Laskay Parkzâ€"Maple Sand and Gravel Company of Maple; F. J. Mansbridge, P. C. Hill, F. Y. W. Brathwaite, S. Ranson, Kerr Brothers, of Richmond Hill; Mrs. Duckett, Mr. and Mrs. Horton, Mr. and Mrs. Norris, George Alli- son Jr.. of Richvale: and the Ocean Blend Tea Co. of Toronto. Just a few minutes before the at- tempt was made on his life King Edward spoke wise words to the Guards whom he was reviewing: “Only a few of us on parade this morning have known the awful weight of war with all its sorrows and yet its comradeships during the world struggle of twenty years ago. With all my heart I hope, and in- deed pray, that never again will our age and generation be called upon to face such stern and terrible days. “Humanity cries out for peace and the assurance of peace, and you.will find in peace opportunities of duty and service as noble as any that bygone battle fields can show.” Editor, The Liberal Sir:â€" Because a common saying is genâ€" erally accepted as true d0es not make it so. It is natural to fight is such a statement; cn the contrary living organisms, likh mechanical energy, always tend to follow the path of least resistance and leaving out a few abnormal exceptions, only fight when it is necessary to preserve life or to propagate it. Sex instincts are no longer a cause for physical combat among civilised people and the removal of the fear of want (which only requires intelligent planning) will also remove the ne- cessity for war. The following illus- trations may make the principle of nonâ€"resistance clear, Imagine two men starting out through a forest determined to reach a certain point on the other side. One uses a com- pass and disdaining natural obsta- cles sets a straight course; the other one taking a lesson from the wild animals follows runways etc. and a- voids dense thickets. Which man will ‘get there first? It is a mistake to limagine that the advocate of non- resistance has a weak will; though it may be more flexible it is: often more effective than bull-headed ob- stinacy just as a car-driver finds it betterto follow the road than cut across country. New York sky- scrapers will swing as much as six inches in a high wind. If they were built rigid they would not be safe. A bullet will pass through a solid object easier than it will through a succession of sheets hung loosely. Jesus was one of the leading and maybe first advocate of non-reeistâ€" ance as exemplified by his command that his disciples turn the other cheek if struck. The early chris- tians made a sincere attempt to carry out this command with the historic result that christianity became in- stalled as the official Roman reliâ€" gion. Since then the question as to whether Christianity can be applied to everyday living has been largely theoretical since it has only been tried by individuals and small groups but never on a large scale. Count Leo Tolstoi was another lead- ‘ing advocate of nonâ€"resistance or as it might better be called moral re- sistance. He made a personal suc- cess of it as under czarist absolu- tism he went fearlessly all over Rusâ€" ‘ sia openly speaking the truth as he saw it and at the same time saying it was not necessary to fight against the great evils prevalent at that time. He bore a charmed life and even the mighty czar and his clique of military dictators did not dare to harm him. There is no nation or large reilgious body (the DoukoÂ¥ hours are an exception) who sin- cerely believe or advocate the teach- ing of Jesus that we turn the other 'cheek and “practical people” prefer to rely on battleships and armies. The main point at this time is not whether non-resistance is practicable but why should we teach something to our children in our Sunday Schools if we don’t want them to ‘carry it out when they grow up and go out into the world.
