I We are having a fine summer, so far have scarcely had a hot day, yet we have had very favorable weather for crops of all kinds. Fall wheat on heavy clay soil did not come on well last fall, and many fields appeared to be completely killed this spring, but have picked up wonderfully and now promise an average crop should the weather continue favorable. The crop in Nelson will be fully up to the average. Spring crops are looking well-hay promises to be a heavy crop. The fruit season is again upon us, and as usual several hundred Indians are employed in the vicinity of Burlington picking berries. The strawberry season is pretty well advanced. They are a heavy crop and the acreage has been increased, conse- quenty prices have declined. Rasp- berries will be ready in about a week or ten days. The yield will be large. Blackberries and entrants are looking well, and promise a heavy yield Cherries are not extensively grown here but are a fair crop. Plums are not so heavy a crop as last year, bat a fair crop is expected. Peaches are a failure. Grapes are fruiting well, and the output of the Burlington district will probably exceed that of any pre- vious season. Apples and pears are looking well. The cottages on the Bur- lington Beach are nearly all occupied, and the Brant House and park are open for boarders. _ GBlNTRBlv1LLB1 FREEMAN BRIEFS ---The bicycle club took their weekly run to Wallenstein on Monday evening-The Elmira cheese factory made a shipment of May cheese this week -The Fergus band gave our citi-. zer s a few selections while at the OV Donnell House on route for the Macton picnic on Thursday 1att--Harold Jar. via, the renowned tenor singer, of Detroit, sang at the concert) in the E.
