The new H School district is, however, more forâ€" tunately situated than many others in the matter of the maintenance of county pupils, While the statute proâ€" vides that County Councils shall re fund to High School Boards eighty per cent. of the cost, when the separation agreement between Berlin _ and . the County â€" was made the County Council saw the justice of Berlin‘s claim and agreed to pay the full maintenance cost of County pupils.

James Duff Makes an Estimate of Damage Done by Heavy Rains. IS NOT PESSIMISTIC ‘Toronto, August 12.â€"The loss to Ontario‘s crops from the recent heaÂ¥vy storms and excessive rain may total twenty millions, according to Hon. James S. Duff of the Department of Agriculture. For the last week . reâ€" ports have been pouring into the deâ€" partment from every section of the Province showing tremendous losses, but giving no‘ reason for pessimism. "In spite of the general damage, we will still have a good average crop," said Hon. James Duff, Minisâ€" ter of Agriculture. ‘ ‘"There is no cause for extravagant pessimism." The â€"reportclearlyâ€"shows that the Province would have had an unâ€" equalled production if the weather had not been so unfavorable. ‘There is every indication that the storm was very general, although some parts, especially Central Ontarâ€" io, have been affected more than othâ€" i ers. There is still hope of obuin-‘ ing a little better than _ an average crop. The loss simply represents the ‘ difference between an average and ll record crop. The wheat crop bas suffered to a great extent, which â€" is particularly unfortunate in view . of the â€" patriotic efforts of numerous farmers to extend their wheat acreâ€" age. However, a conservative estiâ€" mate will place the wheat loss at about only 10 per cent.. There is a darger percentage of loss in the oats crop than in any other. Hundreds of fields have been beater down, and with the prevalence of | smut in the fields there will probâ€" ably be.a 25 per cent. loss. Barley stood the strain, the damage to it being very slight. Hay, which is the most important crop in the Province aggregating in value over filty milâ€" lions, is coming ‘along splendidly, having sustained _ very little loss. Reots and corn will yield an averag Te@irn.â€"Potatoes, however have hat too much wet weather, which is causing a blight, afecting a large percentage . of the crop, so that. the production wil‘ not measure up . to that of last year, although an averâ€" age yield may be expected. ‘‘The »general situation does not in any way warrant the slightest pesâ€" }eimism,"" says theMinister.‘ ~**Farmâ€" | ets have frequently in the past had Aâ€"tg â€"corngr their ~ctope â€" tundarâ€"â€"more unfavorable circumstances, â€" @8, . ioi instance, in the very wet season of 191%, when they gathered more than an average crop. 1 am confident therefore, that the results will still make a very creditable showing for the agriculture in the Province."
