Harvest A very early grain harvest ha.s begun with a

vengeance. iAlost of the winter oats are reaped and in some places threshed ; and a certain amount of wheat was cut before August came; and will be in the market this week. While many harvests have failed utterly in many different countries, the British shows some bumper crops. The wheat is as good -as the turnips are bad. The quality is up to the Canadian- level and the yield vastly greater. Like most holiday makers. it has enjoyed the drought. The fate of some crops is still uncertain. Apples are !Hie the partridges: So many young were seldom seen ; but they begin to suffer : the fruits shrivel and the birds die, though the rains may have come in time to save the survivors even on the clay and sand soils.
